1 Section 4.0 PROCEDURES FOR AFTER TEST FAILURES will apply should the listed pneumatic
dunnage products fail during field performance. If evaluation and testing shows that a pneumatic dunnage fails to meet
the specifications of the most recent verification, the manufacturer will be so advised. If two subsequent failures and
retests within a 90-day period show the pneumatic dunnage does not meet the specifications of the most recent
verification, the existing verification will be revoked.
2 As of January 2, 2007 the former International Paper Ride Rite dunnage plant in Fordyce, AR became part of
KapStone Paper and Packaging Corporation..
