1.1 This specification describes and grades various levels of performance to provide users of the standard with criteria upon which to select suitable hasps and other attachment devices. No effort has been made to include criteria for specially made hasps used by the Department of Defense or other highly sensitive applications.

1.2 The tests described are laboratory tests, and although they simulate field conditions as to attacks, they do not duplicate these conditions. Tests described are repeatable in the laboratory.

1.3 Some users of this standard may wish to use hasps that have special attributes not related to security.

1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The inch-pound units given in parentheses are provided for information only.

1.5 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 requirements prior to use.
