CAN/CGSB 25.24-96 [ Withdrawn ]

This standard states the requirements for a burnishable detergent-resistant water emulsion floor polish suitable for general application on most non-wood and sealed wood floors. Products to this standard should not be used on unsealed wood, cork or magnesite floors.

The two types of polishes described in this standard are designed for use with ultra high speed (U.H.S.) burnishing machines capable of operating at 1500 r/min. Type 1 is intended for use in non-abrasive traffic areas. Type 2 is intended for use in moderately abrasive traffic areas where more frequent maintenance is required.

The floor polish produced in accordance with this standard should not be used over a polish that does not conform to this standard or to CAN/CGSB-25.21.

The testing and evaluation of a product against this standard may require the use of materials and/or equipment that could be hazardous. This document does not purport to address all the safety aspects associated with its use. Anyone using this standard has the responsibility to consult the appropriate authorities and to establish appropriate health and safety practices in conjunction with any existing applicable regulatory requirements prior to its use.
