Specs for federal standard #595 pertaining to water based inks

I have a request to print a 6 mil vinyl for fire extinguishers. The ink spec is Fed Standard # 595-- gray #16187 & Black #17038. I am looking for a copy of the spec that I can print and forward to my ink manufacturer to make sure that we are in compliance. We are a flexographic printer of pressure sensitive labels we use water based inks.
