(What is a Work Item? / How to Input to a Work Item)

Work Item: ASTM WK21758 - Revision of F2517-05 Standard Specification for Determination of Child Resistance of Portable Fuel Containers for Consumer Use


Active Standard: F2517-09

Developed by Subcommittee: F15.10 | Committee F15 Home | Contact Staff Manager



1. Rationale

ASTM 2517 is a child resistant standard intended to prevent children from gaining access to the contents of portable fuel containers. The testing protocols within ASTM 2517 were designed for openings far different that the dispensing systems that are required for portable fuel containers. In addition, the current standard contains several areas that are vague and need clarification.

Keywords

child resistance; diesel containers; portable fuel containers; portable gasoline containers; portable kerosine; ICS Number Code 23.020.99 (Other fluid storage devices)
