    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Determines container material, performance, and environmental tests for use in development of packaging and packing for conventional ammunition (excluding nuclear, biological, and chemical).

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This standard establishes container material, performance, and environmental tests for use in development of packaging and packing for conventional ammunition (excluding nuclear, biological, and chemical). For purposes of this document, conventional ammunition includes a broad category of Class 1 hazardous material such as small arms, projectiles, propelling charges, fuzes, cartridges (i.e., tank, mortar), primers, detonators, rockets, grenades, mines, simulators, flares, etc. This document applies to packaged ammunition meeting Level A (maximum military protection) packaging classification and Level B (intermediate protection under generally favorable environmental conditions of worldwide shipment). It will also cover those packs and items (i.e., propellant) which require fielded Level A protection for long term storage but are not normally fielded as tactical ammunition.
