SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
4.1 This test method is intended to measure the maximum arrest force and dynamic strength on treestand FAS and components or subsystems. This test is intended for program quality assurance and production quality control purposes. It is not intended to be an independent material or product acceptance test.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers the determination of the load capacities for treestand fall arrest systems (FAS) and components or subsystems.  
1.2 This test method addresses equipment used in hunting situations requiring personal protection against falls from heights and applies to the manufacturers, distributors, purchasers, and users of such equipment.  
1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.  
1.4 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.  
1.5 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.

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
5.1 This test method is intended for quality assurance and production control purposes.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers the determination of the static load capacity of hunting saddles and bridge in terms of a factor of safety relative to the manufacturer’s rated capacity.  
1.2 The values shared are in inch-pound units and are to be regarded as the standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.  
1.3 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.  
1.4 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.

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
3.1 The purpose of this practice is to provide the minimum requirements necessary for the establishment of a written quality assurance program for treestands and elevated hunting equipment.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice provides minimum requirements for a quality assurance program.  
1.2 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.  
1.3 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.

SCOPE
1.1 This terminology covers terms related to treestands, climbing sticks, tripods or tower stands.  
1.2 This terminology is appropriate for use by treestand development professionals, owners and institutions, testing firms, users and other practitioners in matters concerning treestand test methods, practices and specifications which fall under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F08 on Sports Equipment and Facilities.  
1.3 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.

1.1 This part of ISO 10990 specifies methods for use in performance testing of traps used on land to restrain mammals. The performance testing includes methods for evaluation of trauma, selectivity, capture efficiency and user safety. 1.2 It is recognized that injury is only one component of animal welfare. However, there are insufficient data collected in a scientific manner on the additional components to allow for the complete assessment of animal welfare. Several areas of investigation are presented for evaluation in annex A. Selection of the data collection methodology is left to the investigator. However, it is assumed that such collection methods will follow accepted practices. It should also be understood that data collected in any, or all, of the suggested areas will probably not provide an absolute measure of welfare. Rather, the compilation of such data over time should provide a mechanism for comparing the relative animal welfare impacts of different restraint methods.

This part of ISO 10990 specifies methods for use in performance testing of: traps used on land to kill mammals; traps used in submersion sets to kill semi-aquatic mammals. The performance testing includes methods for evaluation of effective killing, pathological evaluation, mechanical properties (see note), selectivity, capture efficiency and user safety. NOTE ISO/TC 191 recognizes that other trapping systems are under development but are at a preliminary stage. Consequently, inclusion of appropriate mechanical tests for such traps is premature at this time. Nevertheless, the committee recommends and supports the development of new types of traps and trapping systems together with appropriate testing methodologies. ISO/TC 191 further recommends that the issue receives in-depth (re)consideration at the five-year review and that all appropriate advances in technology are incorporated through the deliberations of the committee at that time.
