(A) Percentage charge: For the calculation by weight of component percentages, each component is separated and weighed to the gram on certified scales, the fee shall be fifty-five dollars.

(B) Fibers and other natural and man made materials: For the testing and analysis of the percentage of Fibers and other Natural & Man Made Materials the fee shall be fifty-five dollars.

(C) Macroscopic evaluation: For the visual inspection to obtain information on the distinctive characteristics of the specimen and to determine if additional tests are required, the fee shall be fifty-five dollars.

(D) Microscopic analysis: For the examination under magnification, including the mounting of a specimen on a slide, to note the longitudinal and cross-sectional appearance and comparison with of known fibers, the fee shall be fifty-five dollars for each fiber type.

(E) Man made fiber identification: For the examination under high magnification of man made fibers, including the mounting of a specimen on a slide, the fee shall be sixty dollars. The fee for man made fiber identification shall not include chemical analyses.
