Sec.  1209.2  Definitions and measurements.

    (a) As used in this part 1209, Cellulose insulation means cellulosic 
fiber, loose fill, thermal insulation that is suitable for blowing or 
pouring applications.
    (b) The definitions given in section 3 of the Consumer Product 
Safety Act are applicable to this part 1209.
    (c) For the purposes of conformance with the technical requirements 
of this standard, the figures are given in the metric system of 
measurement. The inch-pound system approximations of these figures are 
provided in parentheses for convenience and information only. For 
numerical quantities for which no specific tolerances are given, the 
tolerance shall be one half of the unit value of the last significant 
digit given in the dimension. Where numerical quantities are given 
without tolerances in both the metric and inch-pound system of 
measurements, the tolerance shall be one half of the last significant 
digit of the metric equivalent of the numerical quantity.
    (d) The specifications and dimensions in the test methods below are 
given in metric units, with the English equivalents in parentheses. For 
enforcement purposes the Commission will use metric units.
