NOTES
(This section contains information of a general or explanatory nature
which may be helpful, but is not mandatory.)
6.1 Intended use. The enamel covered by this specification is intended
for use as a finish or topcoat on ship decks in marine service. This enamel
is a non-lead, non-chromate, non-asbestos material. The dried paint film has
been tested to USEPA standards and the paint debris is, as of the time of this
specification, a non-hazardous waste. It may be applied by brush or spray and
is suitable for any metal or wood structure. During development, this enamel
was easily sprayed with a Binks #7 HTES (high transfer efficiency special)
gun. Spraying with a high volume, low pressure gun was successful using an
AIRVERTER® HVLP Sprayer available from Smith Eastern Corporation. The basic
formulation provides an enamel of a gray color. This enamel has been
formulated to comply with air pollution regulations which allow a maximum VOC
of 340 grams of solvent minus water per liter of paint (2.8 lb/gal) as
delivered, and does not require thinning for brush or spray application. The
paint described by this specification is military unique because it is
specified as part of the reactor plant painting schedule for nuclear powered
Navy vessels. The paint has been specifically formulated to prevent secondary
radiation hazards.

a first article production item, a sample selected from the first production
items, a standard production item from the contractor's current inventory
(see 3.1), and the number of items to be tested as specified in 4.2. The
contracting officer should include specific instructions in acquisition
documents regarding arrangements for examinations, approval of first article
test results, and disposition of first articles. Invitations for bids should
provide that the Government reserves the right to waive the requirement for
samples for first article inspections to those bidders offering a product
which has been previously acquired or tested by the government, and that
