1、Designation: F2369 04 (Reapproved 2016)Standard Safety Specification forNon-Integral Firearm Locking Devices1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F2369; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of las
2、t revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThis specification is intended to establish means of determining whether locking devices applied toa firearm adequately s
3、erve 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 others requested
4、that ASTM 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 Subcommittee F15.5
5、5has 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 objective,realistic,
6、 reliable, and repeatable.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers non-integral locking devicesused to increase safety on unloaded firearms.1.2 This specification contains functional, operational, andsafety requirements for non-integral firearm locking devices.Included are function descriptions, force
7、tests, and surreptitiousentry tests as set forth in Section 5.1.3 The specification is intended to apply only to non-integral locks or locking mechanisms applied to, in, around, orabout a firearm, either external to the firearm or by somemethod of introduction to or within the firearm. The specifi-c
8、ation is not intended to set evaluation standards by whichsafety levers, firing pin blocks, or other traditional dischargeprevention mechanisms are evaluated, notwithstanding the factthat these mechanisms may prevent inadvertent discharge. Thisspecification is not applicable to devices used for, or
9、intendedfor, the prevention of theft or other intentional misuse offirearms.NOTE 1Tests described are laboratory type tests and although theymay simulate some field conditions, they do not duplicate all field testconditions.NOTE 2There is no apparent comparable ISO/IEC standard.1.4 The values stated
10、 in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.5 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to thetest method portions of this specification. This standard doesnot purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any,associated with its u
11、se. It is the responsibility of the user of thisstandard to establish appropriate safety and health practicesand determine the applicability of regulatory limitations priorto use.2.

32、 test does not apply if the devicedoes not have a keyway. The firearms locking device shall4Available from American National Standards Institute (ANSI), 25 W. 43rd St.,4th Floor, New York, NY 10036.F2369 04 (2016)2resist picking with the use of paper clips (jumbo size), paperclips (#1 size), and sma
33、ll screwdrivers that fit in the keyway for2 min with each of these tools. Time shall be counted onlywhile tools are in contact with the lock. If the lock is disabledduring the 6 min of manipulation, picking tests are performedon three additional samples. Failure occurs if any one of thethree additio
34、nal samples is disabled.5.2.2 Combination Manipulation TestThis test does notapply if the device does not have a combination lock mecha-nism. The firearms locking device shall resist manual manipu-lation by dialing the combination wheels or pushing thecombination buttons or manipulating other combin
35、ation lockmeans by hand for 2 min. Manipulation is limited to thecombination mechanism. Time shall be counted only whilehands are manipulating the lock. Failure occurs if the lock isdisabled without the proper combination being entered during2 min of manipulation.5.3 Shock Test:5.3.1 Using the shock
36、 impact fixture referenced in 2.1, dropa 1 kg (2.2 lb) weight from a distance of 1 m (39.4 in.) fivetimes onto the firearm locking device, which is oriented so thata flat blade screwdriver can impinge upon and penetrate alongthe rotation axis into the keyway, or for a combination lock,onto the combi
37、nation mechanism. Additionally, using theshock impact fixture, dropa1kg(2.2 lb) weight from adistance of 1 m (39.4 in.), five times to the side opposite thekeyway or the combination mechanism, of a firearm lockingdevice using the anvil rod (see Specification F883, Detail 5).NOTE 5If this second shoc
38、k test on the side opposite the keyway orcombination mechanism is not possible, the tester is to use discretion andhit the most vulnerable side. Failure occurs if the firearm locking deviceis disabled by the shock test.5.4 Tensile TestSpecific fixtures may be required to allowapplication of the requ
