ASTM F821/F821M-23

Standard Specification for Domestic Use Doors and Frames, Steel, Interior, Marine

ABSTRACT
This specification covers the design and dimensional requirements for the construction of standard and custom-built interior steel doors and frames intended for use in staterooms, lavatories, passageways, and other weather-protected areas of ships, including U.S. Coast Guard certificated vessels, with domestic routes. The doors and frames are to be of hollow metal construction with the door insulated for sound or fire. The doors and frames shall conform to the specified dimensional and construction procedures established for each class and type, which shall be indicated in the ordering information.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers the construction of standard and custom-built interior steel doors and frames for ships including U.S. Coast Guard certificated vessels with domestic routes.  
1.2 Doors and frames are to be hollow metal construction with the door insulated for sound or fire.  
1.3 The doors are intended for use in staterooms, lavatories, passageways, and other areas protected from weather.  
1.4 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used independently of the other.  
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.

This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.
