1.1This 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.
1.1.2This specification is also applicable to spouts, caps, or other closure mechanisms sold separately for use with or on a fuel container.
1.1.3This specification does not cover one-time use portable emergency fuel containers conforming to Specification F2874.
1.2This standard addresses the effectiveness of the child resistance (CR) device only after closure cycling, but does not address closure effectiveness:
1.2.1When at high or low temperatures,
1.2.2After thermal aging of polymers,
1.2.3After exposure to sunlight,
1.2.4After exposure to intended fuels, and
1.2.5After physical abuses, such as drops or impacts.
Note 1:Please see Appendix X2 for additional information on these exemptions.
1.3The 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.
1.4This 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.
