ABSTRACT
This specification establishes recognized requirements for determining the child resistance of portable gasoline containers intended for use by consumers. The following tests shall be performed: senior adult test; child-resistant test (test subject/selection criteria); child-resistant tests (test failures); sequential test; and senior adult use effectiveness to conform with the specified requirements.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification establishes recognized requirements for determining the child resistance of portable fuel containers (PFCs) and other types of portable containers intended for use by consumers to hold, store, and transport liquid fuels such as gasoline, kerosene, and diesel.  
1.1.1 “Portable Fuel Container” is defined in Specification F852 and includes the receptacle for gasoline, kerosene, or diesel fuel as well as spouts, caps, and other closure mechanisms and components for use with or on portable gasoline, kerosene, or diesel receptacles.  
1.1.2 This specification is also applicable to spouts, caps, or other closure mechanisms sold separately for use with or on a fuel container.  
1.1.3 This specification does not cover one-time use portable emergency fuel containers conforming to Specification F2874.  
1.2 This standard addresses the effectiveness of the child resistance (CR) device only after closure cycling, but does not address closure effectiveness:  
1.2.1 When at high or low temperatures,  
1.2.2 After thermal aging of polymers,  
1.2.3 After exposure to sunlight,  
1.2.4 After exposure to intended fuels, and  
1.2.5 After physical abuses, such as drops or impacts.
Note 1: Please see Appendix X2 for additional information on these exemptions.  
1.3 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.  
1.4 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.  
1.5 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.

ABSTRACT
This specification establishes the nationally recognized performance requirements and associated test methods for portable gasoline containers intended for use and reuse by consumers. It does not cover single-trip prepackaged containers. The containers shall show evidence of good workmanship and, when appropriately tested, shall meet specified requirements for color, capacity, stability, handle strength, drop strength, internal hydrostatic pressure, openings and closure, components, and durability in terms of aging, permeability, gasoline resistance, stress cracking, corrosion resistance, and heat resistance and flammability.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification establishes performance requirements for portable gasoline, kerosene, and diesel containers intended for reuse by the consumer. This specification also covers reusable containers for gas/oil mixtures commonly used for two-cycle engines and reusable dual-compartment containers for separate gas and oil storage.  
1.2 This specification is not a fire hazard standard, but a specification for portable gasoline, kerosene, and diesel containers for consumer use.  
1.3 This specification defines performance requirements for systems that can effectively reduce fuel spillage and emissions when used in accordance with the manufacturer’s (marked) warnings, operating instructions, and limitations of use. This specification does not provide assurance that systems meeting the requirements are suited to all fueling applications and conditions.  
1.4 Units—The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system are not necessarily exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems has the potential to result in non-conformance with the standard.  
1.5 The following precautionary caveat applies only to the Test Method portion, Section 7, 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. See Section 6 for additional precautionary information.  
1.6 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.

SCOPE
1.1 This specification establishes performance requirements for flame mitigation devices (FMDs) in portable fuel containers (PFCs) for gasoline, kerosene, and diesel fuels intended for reuse by the consumer.  
1.2 A flame mitigation device in gasoline (red), diesel (yellow), and kerosene (blue) PFCs protects the container openings from possible propagation of a flame into a flammable fuel-air mixture within the container. Formation of a flammable fuel-air mixture in the container can occur in special circumstances associated with cold ambient conditions and low liquid levels in the container. Delineations of those circumstances and conditions have been described in published reports, for example, Gardiner et al, 2010 (1),2 and papers, for example, Elias et al, 2013 (2), including research sponsored and overseen by the ASTM F15.10 Technical Committee.  
1.3 This specification does not address the hazard of injury or death caused by ignition of vapors external to the PFC when the fuel in the PFC is poured onto or near to a fire or other ignition source causing these external vapors to ignite or explode. An FMD does not prevent hazards associated with misuse of the PFC resulting in external vapor ignition.  
1.4 The flame mitigation device is chemically conditioned by exposure to representative fuel surrogates CE25a and CE85a fuel and other expected conditions prior to the tests.  
1.5 The flame mitigation device is mechanically conditioned by repeated insertions and removal of a fuel refueling spout prior to the tests.  
1.6 The first test method establishes that the flame mitigation device can effectively prevent flame propagation into a flammable butane-air mixture inside the portable fuel container. The butane-air mixture is a controlled and repeatable proxy for the more variable fuel vapor-air mixture in the container.  
1.7 The second test method establishes that the flame mitigation device is permitting adequate flow rates of fuel.  
1.8 This specification states values in SI units which are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.  
1.9 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.  
1.10 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 specification covers requirements and test methods for materials, dimensions, workmanship, ring stiffness, flattening, joint systems, and a form of marking for polyethylene (PE) pipe of profile wall construction and with bell and spigot, heat fusion, extrusion welded or electrofusion joints for use in gravity flow applications, such as for sewers and drains. The PE profile wall pipe products cover six standard ring stiffness constant (RSC) classifications, namely 40, 63, 100, and 160, 250 and 400. These are referred to as RSC 40, RSC 63, RSC 100, RSC 160, RSC 250 and RSC 400. Referee testing, ring stiffness constant testing, flattening test, and joint tightness test shall be performed to meet the requirements prescribed.This specification establishes nationally recognized performance requirements common to both kerosine and diesel portable containers for reuse by the consumer. Only color and marking are differentiated. The test medium specified for chemical resistance is kerosine due to the more aggressive nature of kerosine on elastomers and other materials of construction. Cautionary standards for handling and disposal of hazardous materials should be observed. Containers containing kerosene should not be opened in the presence of open flame or other sources of ignition. The stability test, handle strength test, drop strength test, hydrostatic pressure test, aging test, permeability test, immersion test, stress cracking test, corrosion resistance test, heat resistance test shall be performed on the container to meet the requirements prescribed.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification establishes nationally recognized performance requirements common to both kerosene and diesel portable containers for reuse by the consumer. Only color and marking are differentiated. The test medium specified for chemical resistance is kerosene due to the more aggressive nature of kerosene on elastomers and other materials of construction.  
1.2 This specification does not include single-trip pre-packaged containers.
1.3 This standard is not a fire risk assessment standard, or a fire test standard, but a specification for portable kerosene containers for consumer use.
1.4 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to the test method portion, Section 7, 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 and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. Additional precautionary information is given in Section 6.
WITHDRAWN RATIONALE
This specification established nationally recognized performance requirements common to both kerosene and diesel portable containers for reuse by the consumer. Only color and marking were differentiated. The test medium specified for chemical resistance was kerosene due to the more aggressive nature of kerosene on elastomers and other materials of construction.
Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee F15 on Consumer Products, this specification was withdrawn in July 2017 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
