Title
Standard Practice for Classifying the Relative Performance of the Physical Properties of Security Seals
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Sep 1, 2004
Scope:
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.
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 F 832.
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.
Security seals often contain unique identification markings for
authentication purposes to
discourages duplication and to prevent reapplication. This practice
does not address unique
identifiers or vulnerabilities of security seals.
NOTE 1 - See Guide F 1158 for procedures on the inspection and
evaluation of tampering of security
seals.
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.
The values as stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the
standard. The values in
parentheses are given for information only.
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 and health practices and determine the
applicability of regulatory limitations
prior to use.
