    1.1 This test method provides a procedure for characterizing the performance of a trash receptacle when an explosive is detonated within the receptacle.

    1.1.1 The procedure measures the magnitude of blast waves (that is, external overpressures) developed and determines the extent and location of fragmentation produced during the explosion.

    1.1.2 Effects due to a fireball resulting from the detonation of an explosive within a trash receptacle are beyond the scope of the test method.

    1.2 This test method is intended to be performed in open-air test arenas.
