ASTM F1014-20

Standard Specification for Flashlights on Vessels

ABSTRACT
This specification covers three types of flashlights. The three types of flashlights are classified as follows: Type I; Type II; and Type III. All materials used in the construction of these flashlights shall be of a quality suitable for the purpose intended and shall conform to the requirements of this specification. Each flashlight must be furnished with two lamps. All metal parts of each flashlight shall be made of corrosion-resistant material. Switches, watertightness, and impact tests shall be performed to conform with the specified requirements.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers three types of flashlights (see Section 4).  
1.2 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.  
1.3 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to the test method portion, Section 9, of this specification:  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.
