Specimen Preparation and Testing
5. (1) Four specimens measuring 89 mm × 254 mm must be cut from a sample of the loose-fitting sleepwear that has been washed and dried or dry cleaned in accordance with sections 1 to 4, in such a manner that two specimens are cut in the lengthwise direction and two are cut in the crosswise direction of the sleepwear. The specimens cut from sleepwear made from a multilayered fabric must include all layers of the fabric and must be held in the relative positions they occupy. The direction in which each specimen was cut must be indicated on the specimen.
(2) The four specimens must be tested in accordance with the procedures set out in paragraphs 1616.5(a) and (b) and subparagraphs 1616.5(c)(1) to (3) of Standard FF5-74 of the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission,
Standard for the Flammability of Children’s Sleepwear: Sizes 7 through 14
, dated January 1, 1985 and published in the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 1000 to end.
(3) The average char lengths for the two specimens cut in the lengthwise direction and for the two specimens cut in the crosswise direction must be determined.
(4) A fifth specimen must be cut in the same direction as the specimens having the longer average char length and tested in accordance with the procedures referred to in subsection (2).
(5) The char length, the direction in which each of the five specimens tested was cut and the average char length of the five specimens must be recorded.
