1、Designation: F 1648 95 (Reapproved 2003)An American National StandardStandard Test Methods forArchery Bowstring ComponentServing String Material1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 1648; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in
2、the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 These test methods cover the classification and testingof serving string as a compo
3、nent material used in the fashion-ing of archery bowstrings.1.2 These test methods are not intended to provide informa-tion beyond any evaluation of the serving string material thatwould determine its fitness for use other than in the fabricationof the completed bowstring.1.3 This standard does not
4、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 determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.
