4.4. Methods of inspection.
4.4.1 Toxicity test. When required (see 6.2), an acute dermal irritation study and a skin
sensitization study shall be conducted on laboratory animals. When the results of these studies
indicate the neckerchief is not a sensitizer or irritant, a Repeat Insult Patch Test shall be
performed in accordance with the Modified Draize Procedure (See 2.3). If the toxicity
requirement (see 3.6) can be demonstrated with historical use data, toxicity testing may not be
required (see 6.2).
5. PACKAGING
5.1 Packaging. For acquisition purposes, the packaging requirements shall be as specified in
the contract or order (see 6.2). When actual packaging of material is to be performed by DoD or
in-house contactor personnel, these personnel need to contact the responsible packaging activity
to ascertain requisite packaging requirements. Packaging requirements are maintained by the
Inventory Control Point's packaging activities within the Military Department or Defense
Agency, or within the military service's system commands. Packaging data retrieval is available
from the managing Military Department's or Defense Agency's automated packaging files, CD-
ROM products, or by contacting the responsible packaging activity.
