Title
Standard Test Methods for Detention Sliding Door Locking Device Assembly
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Feb 1, 2005
Scope:
These test methods cover the apparatus, procedures, and acceptance
conditions for evaluating the
normal operational performance and the performance characteristics
under assault, smoke, and fire
conditions of sliding device assemblies in detention and correctional
institutions. These test
methods give an indication of the performance characteristics of
devices in actual service. Such
variables as installation and maintenance conditions are not
considered.
It is the intent of these test methods to help ensure that detention
sliding devices perform at or
above minimum acceptable levels to control passage to unauthorized or
secure areas, to confine
inmates and to delay and frustrate escape attempts and resist
vandalism. However, these test
methods do not address door construction. It is recognized that in
order to meet the intent of
these test methods, door assemblies shall be compatible with the level
of performance required by
Test Methods F 1450.
The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the
standard. The values given in
parentheses are for information only.
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.
