1、Designation: F2573 06 (Reapproved 2014) An American National StandardStandard Specification forLow Velocity Resilient Material Projectile1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F2573; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case
2、 of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers critical characteristics of lowvelocity resilient material project
3、iles (herein referred to asLVRM projectiles) made of a resilient material, and shall havea diameter no smaller than 20 mm (0.7874 in) and no greaterthan 30 mm (1.18 in.), with a hardness no greater than 75 Shore00 in accordance with Specification D2240. This specificationhelps define whether a proje
4、ctile is suitable for use with a lowvelocity projectile marker (herein referred to as LVP marker asdefined in Specification F2574). The weight of the LVRMprojectile is not to exceed 4.0 g. Furthermore, this specificationestablishes minimum warning and package labeling to helpensure that the LVRM pro
5、jectiles are used in a safe manner andthat the risk of injury is reduced.1.2 A LVRM projectile is not a paintball as defined inSection 2.1.2 of Specification F1979.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard. The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.4 This st
6、andard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and to determine theapplicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Packaging and Package Marking5.1 General Instructions:5.1.1 Warnings, instructions, and the name and address ofthe manufacturer or distrib
19、utor shall appear on the exterior ofeach point of sale container in which a manufacturer packagesits LVRM projectiles.5.1.2 The packaging of all LVP markers shall contain acautionary statement. The statement shall be placed promi-nently on the package and set distinctively apart from otherwording or
20、 designs.5.1.3 The label design, the use of vignettes, or the proximityof other labeling or lettering shall not obscure or renderinconspicuous any labeling statement.5.1.4 All labeling statements shall appear on the principaldisplay panel and at minimum be in the English language.5.1.5 Prominence of
21、 the statement shall be achieved byplacement within the borders of a rectangle and by use of asuitable contrasting background. The statement shall be inuppercase bold face letters of a size bearing a reasonablerelationship to the other type on the main panel, but no lessthan 8-point type. The letter
22、s in the signal word shall be at least50 % larger than the letters in the other words in the cautionarystatement. The signal word shall be preceded by a safety alertsymbol. It is composed of an equilateral triangle surroundingan exclamation mark. The base of the safety alert symbol shallbe on the sa

When special circumstances limit the use ofthe warning to two colors, the colors assigned to the signalword background may also be used for the cautionary state-me
25、nt letters, provided that they contrast with the backgroundcolor of the product. When special circumstances preclude theuse of safety colors on base materials such as wood, cardboard,metal, plastic, etc., the marking used should (when feasible)contrast with the background color of the base material.
