DESCRIPTION

1.1 This test method addresses direct-fire, single-projectile less lethal impact rounds used by public safety officers, including law enforcement, corrections, and others.

1.2 This test method addresses both blunt impact rounds and payload delivery rounds.

1.2.1 This test method is limited to direct-fire, single-projectile rounds and excludes skip-fire rounds or multiple-projectile rounds.

1.3 This test method is used to measure velocity and determine precision and impact energy for a round.

1.4 A specification is under development by ASTM that addresses the safety of targeted individuals during deployment of less lethal impact rounds. That specification will reference this test method.

1.5 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system are not necessarily exact equivalents; therefore, to ensure conformance with the standard, each system shall be used independently of the other, and values from the two systems shall not be combined.

1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.7 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
