Cleaning solvent means a liquid material used for hand wipe, spray gun, or flush-cleaning. Aerospace facility means any facility that produces, reworks, or repairs in any amount any commercial, civil, or military aerospace vehicle or component.
Section 63.744 – Cleaning Operations Standards:
(a) Housekeeping measures. (1) Place solvent-laden cloth, paper, or any other absorbent applicators used for cleaning aerospace vehicles or components in bags or other closed containers immediately after use.
