6.3 MSDS. Contracting officers will identify those activities requiring copies of completed
MSDS prepared in accordance with FED-STD-313 and meeting the requirements of
29 CFR 1910.1200. The pertinent Government mailing addresses for submission of
the data are listed in FED-STD-313; and 29 CFR 1910.1200 requires that the MSDS for each hazardous chemical used in an operation must be readily available to personnel using the material. Contracting officers will identify the activities requiring copies of the MSDS.
6.4 Batch. A batch is defined as that quantity of material that has been manufactured by some unit chemical process or subjected to some physical mixing operation intended to make the final product substantially uniform.
6.5 Sampling and testing precautions. This specification requires inspection of chemical
material that is potentially hazardous to personnel. This specification does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. Sulfuric acid is very corrosive and dangerous when improperly handled. Contact with body results in rapid destruction of tissues and severe burns. Adequate protection against any contact should be provided for all parts of the body. Although the acid itself is not flammable, it may cause ignition by contact with combustible materials; a highly flammable gas (hydrogen) is generated by the action of the acid on most metals. Concentrated sulfuric acid (class I) should not be stored in lead containers. Air pressure should never be used to empty carboys. It is the responsibility of the user of this specification to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
6.6 Submission of alternate inspection provisions. Proposed alternative inspection provisions should be submitted by the contractor to the procuring contracting officer for evaluation and approval by the technical activity responsible for preparation of this specification.
6.7 Significant places. For purposes of determining conformance with this specification, an observed or calculated value should be rounded off "to the nearest unit" in the last right-hand place of figures used in expressing the limiting value in accordance with the rounding-off method of ASTM E 29.
6.8 Part or identification number (PIN). The following PIN procedure is for government purposes and does not constitute a requirement for the contractor.
