1.1.2Appendix X1 provides guidance for determining the magnitude of blast waves (that is, external overpressures) developed.
1.1.3Effects due to a fireball resulting from the detonation of an explosive within a trash receptacle are beyond the scope of the test method.
1.2This test method is intended to be performed in open-air test arenas.
