goal cannot be met. Requests for accelerated testing schedules shall be

accommodated when feasible.

5.9

Labeling

Accepted filters shall be identified with a permanent label showing the results of

penetration and resistance tests, the date of the tests, and the identification of the

FTF which completed the testing. Rejected filters shall be identified and labeled

as such. Accepted and rejected filters shall be physically segregated to prevent

commingling.

5.10 Waiver

Filter testing shall be performed as specified by Section 7.0 of DOE Standard NE

F 3-43 and, for special cases, by the purchaser. When authorized and agreed to

in writing by the purchaser and the FTF manager, an individual FTF may accept

minor deviations from certain specification provisions, provided that the minor

deviations do not affect the basic performance of the filter. However, HEPA filters

that fail penetration or resistance tests shall not be accepted with waiver, nor shall

an FTF attempt to repair damage to the HEPA filter media. It shall be the

responsibility of the purchaser and manufacturer to determine disposition of those

filters that do not pass these two mandatory provisions.

5.11 Disposition of Accepted and Rejected Filters

Filters accepted by the FTF shall be forwarded to the destination designated by

the purchaser at the purchaser' expense. It is the responsibility of the purchaser

and the manufacturer to determine proper disposition of rejected filters.

5.12 Test Reports

Upon completion of inspections and tests, the FTF shall provide a written report of

test data to the purchaser. Reasons for rejection of any filters shall be included in

the report and rejected filters specifically identified.
