documents regarding arrangements for examinations, approval of first article test results, and disposition of first

samples for first article inspections to those bidders offering a product which has been previously tested by the
government, and that bidders offering such product, who wish to rely on such tests, must furnish evidence with the
bid that prior Government approval is presently appropriate for the pending contract. Bidders should not submit
alternate bids unless specifically requested to do so in the solicitation.
6.5 Volatile content. Although the container marking specifically refers to the Federal regulations, the paints
may be used anywhere else a product complying with 3.2 is allowed. This includes other air pollution control
districts or similar areas controlling the emission of solvents into the atmosphere.

sheet at the time of contract award. The MSDS should be provided in accordance with OSHA section 1910.1200,

criteria for known or suspected human carcinogens on MSDS 0.1 percent or greater, and 1 percent or greater for
other health hazards. The MSDS should be included with each unit of issue of material covered by the specification,
when specified (see 6.2).

completed material safety data sheets prepared in accordance with FED-STD-313. The pertinent Government
mailing addresses for submission of data are listed in FED-STD-313.
