ABSTRACT
This practice covers methods for testing the physical properties of mechanical (passive) security seals. Where appropriate, the various tests include particular apparatus or procedural specifications required for different types of security seals. A security seal shall be evaluated in accordance with its classification into one of five general groups and its performance in the following six tests: pull (tensile) shear, bending, impact, low temperature impact, and high temperature pull (tensile). A security seal shall receive a grade designation based upon its measured performance in each of the required tests. The seals shall be classified according to groups: Group 1; Group 2; Group 3; Group 4; and Group 5. Pull test, shear test, bending test, impact test, and extreme temperature tests shall be performed to conform with the specified requirements.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice covers methods for testing the physical properties of mechanical (passive) security seals. Where appropriate, the various tests include particular apparatus or procedural specifications required for different types of security seals. This practice does not address adhesive (tape or label style) or electronic types of security seals.  
1.2 This practice will serve as a basis for comparing the response of various security seals under different simulated modes of attack. The security seal to be evaluated shall first be classified into established groupings, and then tested in the manner designated as most suitable for that class of seal, in accordance with Classification F832.  
1.3 A mechanical security seal is a single use, passive device intended to detect tampering or entry into the sealed item. Removal of the security seal requires permanent and irreversible damage to the seal. The following procedures reflect the relative performance of security seals when subject to various destructive physical attacks. These tests simulate known and likely security seal implementation and attack methods.  
1.4 Security seals often contain unique identification markings for authentication purposes to discourage duplication and to prevent reapplication. This practice does not address unique identifiers or vulnerabilities of security seals.
Note 1: See Guide F1158 for procedures on the inspection and evaluation of tampering of security seals. See also Guide F946.  
1.5 It is the responsibility of users of this practice to interpret their specific security needs concerning the application of seals, and to determine the grade of seal appropriate for their particular application. ASTM assumes no responsibility for losses occurring as a result of a defeated seal, whether the defeat is apparent, or the seal is not suited for its application.  
1.6 The values as stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values in parentheses are given for information only.  
1.7 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to the test procedures portion, Section 6, of this practice.  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.  
1.8 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
4.1 If a seal can be opened by any means and successfully reapplied without exhibiting signs indicative of prior attack, the integral quality of the seal is in serious question. This guide allows that any particular method of attempted defeat can be employed to defeat a seal, and concentrates not on the effectiveness of the seal to resist that attack, but rather on the nature of the individual seal to inhibit reapplication.  
4.2 This standard presents guidelines for inspection to assist in determining whether an attempt to defeat a security seal, and to possibly reapply the seal, has been made. In all cases, the guidelines are meant to focus attention on signs of attack and reapplication.
SCOPE
1.1 This guide covers procedures for the inspection and evaluation of tampering of security seals.  
1.2 A security seal is a device intended to detect tampering or entry. Evaluate only single use locking devices under this guide. The following procedures shall serve as guidelines for detecting attempts at defeat and reapplication of a security seal.  
1.3 This guide is not intended to be fully comprehensive; certain types of security seals, such as labels, have not been addressed to date. Further, it is the responsibility of users of this guide to interpret their specific security needs concerning the use of seals, and to determine the grade of seal appropriate for their particular application. ASTM assumes no responsibility for losses occurring as a result of a defeated seal.

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
Crime statistics show that the majority of all burglary attacks are on residential property. These test methods are, therefore, designed to aid in identifying a level of physical restraint, by swinging door assemblies, that will help reduce this large increment of crime.
These test methods are not intended to provide a measure of resistance for a door assembly subjected to attacks by skilled burglars on high pay-off targets. These attacks and targets require higher level, more sophisticated resistance, which usually includes alarms, communication, and apprehension systems.
The wall assembly described in 7.3 is considered suitable for the scope of these test methods. Wall construction that differs in dynamic response from that described in 6.3 may require testing in accordance with Section 11.
The primary purpose of this standard is to provide detailed test methods. Acceptance criteria for performance levels are considered a matter for authorities having jurisdiction. Some potential guidelines may be found in Annex A1.
SCOPE
1.1 These test methods cover door assemblies of various materials and types of construction for use in wall openings to deter unwanted intruders.  
1.2 Door assemblies, covered by these test methods, also include individual components such as the hinge, lock, door, jamb/strike, and jamb/wall.  
1.3 These test methods are designed to measure the capability of a swinging door assembly to restrain or delay and to frustrate the commission of "break-in" crimes.  
1.4 These test methods apply primarily to typical entry door assemblies in single- and multi-family residential housing.  
1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
WITHDRAWN RATIONALE
Rationale
Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee F12 on Security Systems and Equipment, these test methods were withdrawn in July 2011 in accordance with section 10.5.3.1 of the Regulations Governing ASTM Technical Committees, which requires that standards shall be updated by the end of the eighth year since the last approval date.

ABSTRACT
This practice covers methods for testing the physical properties of mechanical (passive) security seals. Where appropriate, the various tests include particular apparatus or procedural specifications required for different types of security seals. A security seal shall be evaluated in accordance with its classification into one of five general groups and its performance in the following six tests: pull (tensile) shear, bending, impact, low temperature impact, and high temperature pull (tensile). A security seal shall receive a grade designation based upon its measured performance in each of the required tests. The seals shall be classified according to groups: Group 1; Group 2; Group 3; Group 4; and Group 5. Pull test, shear test, bending test, impact test, and extreme temperature tests shall be performed to conform with the specified requirements.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice presents methods for testing the physical properties of security seals. Where appropriate, the various tests include particular apparatus or procedural specifications required for different types of security seals.
1.2 This practice will serve as a basis for comparing the response of various security seals under different modes of attack. The security seal to be evaluated shall first be placed in an appropriate classification, and then tested in the manner designated as most suitable for that class of seal, in accordance with Classification F832.
Note 1--See Guide F1158 for procedures on the inspection and evaluation of tampering of security seals.
1.3 A security seal is a device intended to detect tampering or entry. Single use locking devices are to be evaluated under this specification. Therefore, the following procedures are to reflect the relative performance of security seals when subject to various physical attacks.

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
If a seal can be opened by any means and successfully reapplied without exhibiting signs indicative of prior attack, the integral quality of the seal is in serious question. This guide allows that any particular method of attempted defeat can be employed to defeat a seal, and concentrates not on the effectiveness of the seal to resist that attack, but rather on the nature of the individual seal to inhibit reapplication.
This standard presents guidelines for inspection to assist in determining whether an attempt to defeat a security seal, and to possibly reapply the seal, has been made. In all cases, the guidelines are meant to focus attention on signs of attack and reapplication.
SCOPE
1.1 This guide covers procedures for the inspection and evaluation of tampering of security seals.
1.2 A security seal is a device intended to detect tampering or entry. Evaluate only single use locking devices under this guide. The following procedures shall serve as guidelines for detecting attempts at defeat and reapplication of a security seal.

Further, it is the responsibility of users of this guide to interpret their specific security needs concerning the use of seals, and to determine the grade of seal appropriate for their particular application. ASTM assumes no responsibility for losses occurring as a result of a defeated seal.
