CONTAINED IN VOL. 15.08, 2018 Defines a procedure for characterizing the performance of a trash receptacle when an explosive is detonated within the receptacle.

1.1This test method provides a procedure for characterizing the performance of a trash receptacle when an explosive is detonated within the receptacle.

1.1.1The procedure determines the extent and location of fragments produced during the explosion, and whether breaches are created in the exterior surfaces of the trash receptacle.

1.1.2Appendix X1 provides guidance for determining the magnitude of blast waves (that is, external overpressures) developed.

1.1.3Effects due to a fireball resulting from the detonation of an explosive within a trash receptacle are beyond the scope of the test method.

1.2This test method is intended to be performed in open-air test arenas.

1.3The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values stated in parentheses are for information only.

1.4This 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.

1.5This 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.
