5 23 RESOILING — The appearance of soil on a recently cleaned carpet. One potential cause of quick resoiláng is inadequate removal of residue from the cleaning solution

Exception: Manufacturers are exempt from this labehng requirement ii they have performed a toxicology assessment that demonstrates the product has an acceptable hazard profile for asthmatics and chemically sensitive individuals, instructions for preparation of the toxicological assessment are found in the Procedure for Preparation of a Toxicological Assessment. UL p 113.

6.10 Closed loop dispensing systems currently available in the market have automatic dilutionrnetering system controlling the dilution rates. Such dispensing systems can handle very concentrated Products but still meet the requirements of the criteria after dilution at the recommended rate. Hence, for concentrated products. not meeting the toxicity requirements but sold in a closed ioop dispensing systems, shall meet the following criteria.
