This part supersedes Schedule 8B, issued under date of November 17, 1926, and goes into effect October 31, 1935.
(b)Any methane detector that meets the requirements set forth in this part will be termed permissible by MSHA and if actively marketed will be listed as such in publications relating to permissible mining equipment.
