Designation:E2831/E2831M11Standard Guide forDeployment of Blast Resistant Trash Receptacles inCrowded Places1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E2831/E2831M;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 guide identifies the key factors that should beconsidered prior to the deployment of blast resistant trashreceptacles(BRTRs)in crowded places.1.1.1 Guidance is included for their deployment at interiorand exterior locations associated with the crowded places.1.2 Facilities and venues where blast resistant trash recep-tacles may be deployed include,but are not limited to:1.2.1 Airports,1.2.2 Banks and other financial institutions,1.2.3 Bars and nightclubs,1.2.4 Convention centers,1.2.5 Entertainment and event centers,1.2.6 Hotels,1.2.7 Health care locations,1.2.8 Museums,1.2.9 Places of worship,1.2.10 Public government locations including fire and po-lice stations,1.2.11 Railway stations,bus stations,and related transitareas,1.2.12 Restaurants,1.2.13 Retail centers and malls,1.2.14 Schools,universities,and related areas used foreducation,1.2.15 Stadiums and arenas,and1.2.16 Theaters.1.3 Guidance on conducting a threat assessment or vulner-ability analysis,and on responding to incidents associated withthe deployment of blast resistant trash receptacles is beyond thescope of this document.1.4 UnitsThe values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard.Thevalues stated in each system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,each system shall be used independently of the other.Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with 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.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D638 Test Method for Tensile Properties of PlasticsD747 Test Method for Apparent Bending Modulus of Plas-tics by Means of a Cantilever BeamD790 Test Methods for Flexural Properties of Unreinforcedand Reinforced Plastics and Electrical Insulating Materi-alsD882 Test Method for Tensile Properties of Thin PlasticSheetingE2740 Specification for Trash Receptacles Subjected toBlast Resistance Testing2.2 Government Standards:DoD 4145.26 M Department of Defense:DOD ContractorsSafety Manual for Ammunition and Explosives3DoD 6055.9 STD Department of Defense:DOD Ammuni-tion and Explosives Safety Standards42.3 Association Standard:APTA SS-SIS-RP-001-08 Recommended Practice for Trash/Recycling Container Placement to Mitigate the Effects ofan Explosive Event53.Terminology3.1 For terminology generally associated with explosives,refer to the glossaries given in DoD 4145.26 M and DoD6055.9 STD.1This guide is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee E54 on HomelandSecurity Applications and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee E54.08 onOperational Equipment.Current edition approved July 1,2011.Published August 2011.DOI:10.1520/E2831_E2831M-11.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3Available from the Defense Technical Information Center,8725 John J.Kingman Road,Suite 0944,Ft.Belvoir,VA 22060 6128.4Available from the worldwide web at:http:/www.ddesb.pentagon.mil/DoD6055.9-STD%205%20Oct%202004.pdf.5Available from theAmerican Public TransportationAssociation,1666 K Street,NW,Washington,DC,20006-1215.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 3.1.1Some of the definitions in this standard(3.2)areeither adopted as exact copies,or are adapted,from DoD4145.26 M.Where adapted,changes to the DoD definitionswere made only to clarify the meaning or to incorporate relatedterms that also are defined in this terminology section.3.1.2 The DoD source is identified at the right marginfollowing the definition.In addition,in cases where definitionshave been re-printed from standards developed by technicalcommittees other than E54,the ASTM source is also identifiedat the right margin following the definition.3.2 Definitions:3.2.1 explosion,nchemical reaction of any chemical com-pound(or mechanical mixture)that,when initiated,undergoesa very rapid combustion or decomposition releasing largevolumes of highly heated gases that exert pressure on thesurrounding medium.3.2.2 explosive,nany chemical compound(or mechanicalmixture)that,when subjected to heat,impact,friction,detonation,or other suitable in
