Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 3 / Friday, January 5, 2007 / Rules and Regulations
certification process for polywrap
manufacturers, as follows:]
3.5.5 Polywrap Certification Process
for Manufacturers
cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with RULES
To ensure that all polywrap
manufacturers use the same criteria in
meeting the new specifications, the
Postal Service developed specification
USPS–T–3204, Test Procedures for
Automatable Polywrap Films. This
specification describes exact test
procedures and acceptable values for
polywrap film characteristics.
Independent testing laboratories may
certify products for manufacturers who
do not have the facilities or experience
to conduct each of the test procedures
in specification USPS–T–3204. The
specification includes a list of
laboratories experienced in conducting
these tests. Customers may obtain the
new test procedures by contacting USPS
Engineering (see 608.8.1 for address) or
on the USPS RIBBS Web site (https://
ribbs.usps.gov). Effective February 4,
2007, manufacturers must submit a
letter, on their letterhead, indicating the
value for each of the specifications in
3.5.1 for each polywrap film, to USPS
Mailing Standards (see 608.8.1 for
address). Manufacturers are encouraged
to submit the certificate of conformance
before February 4, 2007. When USPS
receives the certificate of conformance,
films with values meeting the standards
will be listed on https://ribbs.usps.gov.
Manufacturers should follow this
process before submitting the letter
certifying compliance with the
specifications:
a. Test each film according to
procedures listed in USPS–T–3204, Test
Procedures for Automatable Polywrap
Films.
b. Test each surface treatment
separately. Manufacturers may test the

thinnest film of one product with
identical surface treatment and
characteristics. If the thinnest film
satisfactorily meets the characteristics
after being tested, USPS will list the
product as approved for all gauges of
that product that also meet the gauge
test.
