certification process for polywrap 

manufacturers, as follows:] 

3.5.5 Polywrap Certification Process 

for Manufacturers 

To ensure that all polywrap 

manufacturers use the same criteria in 

meeting the new specifications, the 

Postal Service developed specification 

USPS–T–3204, Test Procedures for 

Automatable Polywrap Films. This 

specification describes exact test 

procedures and acceptable values for 

polywrap film characteristics. 

Independent testing laboratories may 

certify products for manufacturers who 

do not have the facilities or experience 

to conduct each of the test procedures 

in specification USPS–T–3204. The 

specification includes a list of 

laboratories experienced in conducting 

these tests. Customers may obtain the 

new test procedures by contacting USPS 

Engineering (see 608.8.1 for address) or 

on the USPS RIBBS Web site (http:// 

ribbs.usps.gov). Effective February 4, 

2007, manufacturers must submit a 

letter, on their letterhead, indicating the 

value for each of the specifications in 

3.5.1 for each polywrap film, to USPS 

Mailing Standards (see 608.8.1 for 

address). Manufacturers are encouraged 

to submit the certificate of conformance 

before February 4, 2007. When USPS 

receives the certificate of conformance, 

films with values meeting the standards 

will be listed on http://ribbs.usps.gov. 

Manufacturers should follow this 

process before submitting the letter 

certifying compliance with the 

specifications: 

a. Test each film according to 

procedures listed in USPS–T–3204, Test 

Procedures for Automatable Polywrap 

Films. 

b. Test each surface treatment 

separately. Manufacturers may test the 

thinnest film of one product with 

identical surface treatment and 

characteristics. If the thinnest film 

satisfactorily meets the characteristics 

after being tested, USPS will list the 

product as approved for all gauges of 

that product that also meet the gauge 

test.
