5.11 Stain Resistance Test – COMPLIED When tested in accordance with Clause 5.11.1, a manufacturer provided coupon which was prepared with the same materials and in the same manner as the fixture itself was conditioned by wet-rubbing a scouring compound and cheesecloth for 20 scrub cycles. Two drops of each reagent were applied to the test specimens. One drop of each reagent was covered with a small watch glass and the other left uncovered. The specimens were allowed to remain for sixteen hours at a temperature of 74.3 ± 3.6º F in a room with a relative humidity of 50 ± 5 %. At the end of the test, the excess reagents were removed by blotting with a paper towel. The specimens were then subjected to cleansing tests and rated in accordance with the procedures given in 5.11.2. Requirement: The maximum stain resistance rating shall be the sum of all individual stain ratings, for each of the covered and uncovered stain areas. The maximum stain resistance rating shall be 50 except for sinks, where it shall not exceed 64. The maximum allowable thickness of material removed to eliminate the stain shall be 0.005 inch.

5.12 Cleanability and Wear Test – COMPLIED

Three specimens cut from manufacturer provided coupons which were prepared with the same materials and in the same manner as the fixture itself were subjected to 7,600 scrubing cycles of abrasive slurry with a flow rate of 3.5 mL per minute and a scrub cycle rate of 60 cycles per minute. Brushes were switched at 25%, 50%, and 75% of the full term accordance with Table 3 to ensure feedholes are not obstructed and excess slurry was washed from the specimen tray. On completion of the total cycles, the three samples were removed, rinsed in tap water, dried and measured for cleanability using the procedures outlined in 5.12.2 and for reduction in surface material. Each specimen shall withstand the number of scrub cycles specified in Table 2 without wear-through of the surface material in the middle third of the specimen surface when tested in accordance with clause 5.12.1. Each specimen shall not lose more than 5% white-light reflectance after being cleaned with liquid cleanser and not more than 2% white-light reflectance after an additional cleaning with abrasive cleaner. Findings: The surface material was not worn-through. The average absolute percentage loss of white-light reflectance was greater than 2%. Thus, the specimens were given an additional rubbing with a clean, dampened chamois and the abrasive slurry specified in Clause 5.12.1.2.2 for approximately 50 cycles, rinsed in warm water, and allowed to dry. The white-light reflectance was determined again and measured to be 0.03%, 0.22%, 0.68% for samples 1, 2 , 3, respectively.

Findings: The shower pans were not provide with service walls.

5.14 Cigarette Test – COMPLIED

Specimens were cut from manufacturer provided coupons which were prepared with the same materials and in the same manner as the fixture itself were subjected to three lit cigarettes of popular brands. The cigarettes were placed on the test specimen, 25mm (1 in) from the edge and allowed to burn for a duration of 2 minutes ±2 seconds. Findings: The specimens showed no signs of progressive glow during or after contact with the lit cigarettes. The resulting damage did not impair the serviceability of the unit and was easily repairable by using abrasive and polishing compounds to approximate the original finish.

5.15 Chemical Resistance Test – COMPLIED

When tested per Clause 5.15.1 and 5.15.2, two drops each of Naphtha, Ethyl Alcohol, Amyl Acetate, 1% Ammonium hydroxide, Citric Acid, Urea, Hydrogen Peroxide, Sodium Hypochlorite, Toluene, Ethyl Acetate, Lye, and Acetone were applied to a manufacturer provided coupon which was prepared with the same materials and in the same manner as the fixture itself. One set of the reagents was covered with a small watch glass and one set remained uncovered for a total of 16 hours. At the end of the 16 hours the watch glass and excess reagents were removed and the sample held for 24 hours at a temperature of 74.3 ±3.6 ˚F and a relative humidity of 50 ±5%. Findings: When examined per Clause 5.4.1 (d), the surfaces of the specimens were unaffected by the reagents, except for superficial surface changes which were removeable by sanding with 400 grit sandpaper and water. The resulting damage did not impair the serviceability of the unit and was easily repairable by using abrasive and polishing compounds to approximate the original finish.

5.16 Thermal Shock Resistance Test – COMPLIED

A complete fixture was set up on a test stand. Using a faucet or pipe equipped with an aerator, water was set at 1 ± 0.2 gpm, placed at 1 to 1-1/2 inches from the edge of the drain, hot water at 150 ± 4 ºF for 1.5 minutes, allowed to drain for 30 seconds, and immediately followed by cold water at 50 ± 4 ºF for 1.5 minutes, and allowed to drain for 30 seconds. This shall constitute one cycle. Testing continued for 250 cycles.

Findings: After testing for 250 cycles, there were no signs of cracking, crazing, blistering or spalling or delamination when examined per Clause 5.4.1 (d).
