Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThis specification is intended to establish means of determining whether firearm locking devicesapplied to a fire
3、arm adequately serve the purpose of deterring the unauthorized use of firearms.Subcommittee F15.53 on Non-Integral Firearm Locking Devices has been working to develop aperformance standard for these products. Our first meeting was held inApril 2001, after the ConsumerProducts Safety Commission and o
4、thers requested thatASTM organize an effort to develop a standardfor gun locks. Representatives of manufacturers, purchasers, user groups, and others have voluntarilycontributed their time and energy toward a common goal.The subcommittee defined the scope of their work to exclude lock boxes, and Sub
5、committee F15.55has since been formed to work on a standard for those products. Subcommittee F15.53 decided totarget a single, minimum performance standard for all devices, as opposed to defining several “grades”or performance levels. Finally, the subcommittee focused on test methods that were objec
6、tive,realistic, reliable, and repeatable.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers non-integral firearm locking devices used to increase safety on unloaded firearms.deterunauthorized use of unloaded firearms. These devices can be mechanical, electromechanical, or a combination thereof.1.2 This specifica
7、tion contains functional, operational, and safety requirements for non-integral firearm locking devices.Included are function descriptions, force tests, and surreptitious entry tests as set forth in Section 5.1.3 The specification is intended to apply only to non-integral locks or locking mechanisms
8、 applied to, in, around, or about afirearm, either external to the firearm or by some method of introduction to or within the firearm. The specification is not intendedto set evaluation standards by which safety levers, firing pin blocks, or other traditional discharge prevention mechanisms areevalu
9、ated, notwithstanding the fact that these mechanisms may prevent inadvertent discharge. This specification is not applicableto devices used for, or intended for, the prevention of theft or other intentional misuse of firearms.NOTE 1Tests described are laboratory type tests and although they may simu
10、late some field conditions, they do not duplicate all field test conditions.NOTE 2There is no apparent comparable ISO/IEC standard.1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.1.5 The following precautionary caveat pertain
11、s only to the test method portions of this specification. This standard does notpurport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard toestablish appropriate safety safety, health, and healthenvironmental practices and d
