Designation:E2851/E2851M13Standard Specification forRuggedness Requirements for HAZMAT Instrumentation1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E2851/E2851M;the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This specification describes the ruggedness require-ments for equipment used during Hazardous Material(HAZMAT)operations.The conditions defined by this speci-fication include those related to equipment storage,transport,and field use.1.2 This specification does not address passive personalprotective equipment(PPE)such as respirators and protectivesuits.1.3 The equipment addressed by this specification includesdevices used to detect or monitor for hazardous material.1.4 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,eachsystem shall be used independently of the other.Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.When using aHAZMAT instrument,follow the manufacturers guidance andappropriate safety practices for the threat expected or sus-pected in the environment where the instrument will be used.2.Referenced Documents2.1 NFPA Standard:2National Fire Protection Association(NFPA)1994,2007Edition Cold Temperature:-25C(-13F)2.2 ANSI Standards:3NA42.32 American National Standard Performance Criteriafor Alarming Personal Radiation Detectors for HomelandSecurityN42.33 American National Standard for Portable RadiationDetection Instrument for Homeland SecurityN42.34 American National Standard for Performance Crite-ria for Hand-Held Instruments for the Detection andIdentification of RadionuclidesN42.35 American National Standard for Evaluation andPerformance of Radiation Detection Portal Monitors forUse in Homeland Security2.3 IEC Standards:4IEC 60068-1 Environmental TestingPart 1:General andGuidanceIEC 60068-2-18 Environmental TestingPart 2-18:TestsTest R and Guidance:WaterIEC 60068-2-75 Environmental TestingPart 2-75:TestsTests Eh:Hammer Tests.IEC 60529 Degrees of Protection Provided by Enclosures(International Protection Rating or IP Code)IEC 61000-4-1 Electromagnetic Compatibility(EMC)Part4-1:Testing and Measurement TechniquesOverview ofIEC 61000-4 SeriesIEC 61000-4-2 Electromagnetic Compatibility(EMC)Part4-2:Testing and Measurement TechniquesElectrostaticDischarge Immunity TestIEC 61000-4-3 Electromagnetic Compatibility(EMC)Part4-3:Testing and Measurement TechniquesRadiated,Radio-Frequency,Electromagnetic Field Immunity Test2.4 Underwriters Laboratories:5UL 2075 Gas and Vapor Detectors and Sensors2.5 Federal Standard:6MIL-Standard 810 Department of Defense Test MethodStandard for Environmental Engineering Considerationsand Laboratory Tests2.6 Code of Federal Regulations:7CFR Telecommunications Chapter 1,Rule 15 UnintentionalRadiators1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee E54 onHomeland Security Applications and is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeE54.01 on CBRNE Sensors and Detectors.Current edition approved Oct.1,2013.Published October 2013.DOI:10.1520/E2851_E2851M-13.2Available from National Fire Protection Association(NFPA),1 BatterymarchPark,Quincy,MA 02169-7471,http:/www.nfpa.org.3Available from American National Standards Institute(ANSI),25 W.43rd St.,4th Floor,New York,NY 10036,http:/www.ansi.org.4Available from International Electrotechnical Commission(IEC),3,rue deVaremb,P.O.Box 131,CH-1211 Geneva 20,Switzerland,http:/www.iec.ch.5Available from Underwriters Laboratories(UL),2600 N.W.Lake Rd.,Camas,WA 98607-8542,http:/.6Available from Standardization Documents Order Desk,DODSSP,Bldg.4,SectionD,700RobbinsAve.,Philadelphia,PA19111-5098,http:/www.dodssp.daps.mil.7Available from U.S.Government Printing Office Superintendent of Documents,732 N.Capitol st.,NW,Mail Stop:SDE,Washington,DC 20401,http:/www.access.gpo.gov.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 3.Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 body-worna HAZMAT instrument that typicallyweighs no more than 5.4 kg 12 lb and is no larger than 65 cm(sum of the sides).3.1.2 hand-carrieda HAZMAT instrument that typicallyweighs no more than 2.3 kg 5 lb and is no larger than 40 cm(sum of the sides).3.1.3 installeda HAZMAT instrument that is permanentlymounted at a location.3.1.4 mobilea HAZMAT instrument that is larger than aman-portable,which is mounted to a mobile device
