1. Scope
1.Scope 1.1This specification contains environmental, functional, operational, and security requirements for mechanical keylock cylinders. Included are function descriptions, cycle tests, environmental tests, forcing tests, and surreptitious entry tests. 1.2Cylinders are tested as components, not as part of a system. 1.3This specification describes and grades various levels of performance to provide users of the standard with criteria upon which to select suitable cylinders. 1.4Tests described are laboratory tests and although they simulate field conditions as to attacks or the environment, they do not duplicate these conditions. Tests described are repeatable in the laboratory. 1.5The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The inch-pound units given in parentheses are provided for information only. 1.6The following precautionary caveat pertains only to the test method portions, Sections 7 through 10, of this specification. This standard does not purport to address the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
This standard will be used by the DoD. Work is being initiated by the DoD Lock Program.
