9、arpets,rugs,and separate substrates arecovered.4.1.1 Class A,for moderate traffic use within one and twofamily,multi-family,and care-type dwelling units.Moderatetraffic areas are areas such as living rooms,dining rooms,bedrooms,and recreation rooms.4.1.2 Class B,for heavy traffic use for public area
10、s such aslobbies and corridors of multifamily and care-type facilities;entrances,stairways,and elevators.5.Physical Requirements5.1 The material shall conform to the requirements forphysical properties prescribed in Table 1.6.Sampling and Sample Preparation6.1 Select representative samples of the lo
11、t being examinedat random as required.6.2 Each sample shall consist of a 200 6 10-mm wide striptaken across the full width of the finished rug,carpet,orunderlayment,or other substrate.For narrow products such asrunners,it will occasionally be necessary to use a strip 300 mmor more to furnish all the
12、 test specimens.If the product is nothomogeneous across the full width,reject the sample andobtain another sample.Prior to cutting,read the samplerequirements so as to plan the cutting pattern properly.1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D20 onPlastics and is the direct r
