The substantive requirements are in the ASTM specification rather than in the CFR text, and the part names the exact approved edition. The record carries the general duty the part imposes. It does not enumerate the individual disclosures, exemptions and test conditions, which run to dozens of sections in the part itself.

Drafted from § 1241.1, Scope, and § 1241.2, Requirements for crib mattresses.
