Sec. 1209.36  Production testing.

    (a) General. Manufacturers, private labelers, and importers shall 
test the cellulose insulation periodically as it is manufactured to 
demonstrate that the product being manufactured is substantially similar 
to the product which passed the qualification testing and to demonstrate 
that the product being manufactured meets the requirements of the 
standard.
    (b) Types and frequency of testing. Manufacturers, private labelers, 
and importers shall determine the types of tests for production testing. 
Each production test shall be conducted at a production interval short 
enough to ensure that if the samples selected for testing meet the 
standard or a portion of the standard, the insulation produced during 
the interval will also meet the standard or the appropriate portion of 
the standard.
    (c) Test failure. If any test yields failing results, production 
must cease and the faulty manufacturing process must be corrected (see 
Sec. 1209.37). In addition, the material from which the samples

were taken may not be distributed in commerce unless the material can be 
corrected (see Sec. 1209.37) so as to yield passing results and meet the 
standard. Cellulose insulation that does not comply with the standard 
cannot be sold or offered for sale.
