Describes the requirements and test methods for water troughs which are used as components of the "water trough barrier" protective system for underground coal mines.

This standard specifies the requirements for concentrated and distributed passive water trough barriers, and quick-deploy water trough barriers.

This standard specifies the requirements and test methods for water troughs which are used as components of the \'water trough barrier\' protective system for underground coal mines.

This standard does not apply to active water trough barriers.
