Standard Specification for Ballistic-Resistant Shields Used by Law Enforcement Officers

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
4.1 The purpose of this specification is to provide performance requirements and test methods for the evaluation of ballistic-resistant shields used by law enforcement officers.  
4.2 This specification may be used by suppliers, certification bodies, verification bodies, testing laboratories, research and development organizations, and others assessing the performance of ballistic-resistant shields.  
4.3 The specification may be used by purchasers in their evaluation of products to meet their needs and requirements.
SCOPE
1.1 This standard specifies minimum performance requirements and test methods for the ballistic resistance of shields used by U.S. law enforcement officers to protect against handgun and rifle ammunition.  
1.1.1 The option for testing either handgun-rated or rifle-rated shields with a shotgun threat is included in Appendix X2.
Note 1: Shields rated as “shotgun only” are not typically produced in the industry because they are not used by law enforcement agencies.  
1.2 Products addressed by this specification include hand-held or hand-carried shields (having single or multiple panels, multi-fold shields) and person-portable shields with wheels.  
1.2.1 Shields may be stand-alone or may incorporate in conjunction with (ICW) armor appliques.  
1.3 Products not addressed by this specification include fixed or mobile barriers not intended to move during an operation and flexible shields that drape across the surfaces upon which they are placed (for example, ballistic blankets).
Note 2: The above products are addressed by Specification E3236/E3236M.  
1.4 This specification addresses ballistic performance in terms of resistance to penetration (RTP) of the shield body, body edges, viewports, fasteners, and weak points.  
1.5 Shields covered by this specification are classified into ASTM shield ballistic protection levels (see Section 10).  
1.6 This specification is applicable for certification testing, verification testing, or research and development testing.  
1.7 Values stated in either the International System of Units (metric) or U.S. Customary units [inch-pound] are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents. Both units are referenced to facilitate acquisition of materials internationally and minimize fabrication costs. Tests conducted using either system maintain repeatability and reproducibility of the test method and results are comparable.

Standard Specification for Arc Protective Blankets

SCOPE
1.1 This product specification is used to determine the ability of the arc protective blankets to withstand the effects of arc flash and arc blast in a configuration in which the blanket is hung or anchored near energized equipment. Specifically, the imbedded test method is used to determine and specify the arc protective blanket’s (1) resistance to breakopen, (2) mechanical strength, and (3) ability to self-extinguish flames following a controlled arc exposure.  
1.2 The products covered by this specification are labeled with a performance level for arc protective blankets in terms of: maximum arc current level expressed in kA and Breakopen Threshold Performance (BTP) expressed as the product of arc current in kA and arc duration in number of cycles to cause breakopen (kA*cycles). Cycles are on the basis of 60 Hz.  
1.3 Blanket test specimens used in this specification are test size blankets of 152 ± 5 cm [60 ± 2 in.] by 122 ± 5 cm [48 ± 2 in.]. The test specimen size is for testing purposes only.

Standard Guide for Using Whistle Signals During Rope Rescue Operations

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
3.1 Whistle signals are a simple and effective means of communication between rescuers and those operating a rope-raising or rope-lowering system. They may be used as a primary means of communication or as a backup when radios fail or when ambient noise makes them unintelligible.  
3.2 These same signals can be used in non-rescue situations, for example, by persons rappelling in caves.
SCOPE
1.1 This guide covers the methodology for the use of whistles as a means of communication during rope rescue operations.  
1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.  
1.3 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

Standard Guide for Selection, Care, and Use of Arc Protective Blankets

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
5.1 This guide provides positioning, installation, and anchoring techniques that may be used to arrange arc protective blankets to confine or divert the energies found from a fault that may include plasma arcing, pressure wave, and projectiles.  
5.2 Arc protective blankets may be used in an electrical application to confine or divert energy away from a work zone for electrical or other workers who may be exposed to an electric arc in the event of an equipment or conductor failure.  
5.3 This guide provides information for working around cables, splices, and any equipment components that have historical failures deemed to require additional protection or engineering controls, which could benefit from added protection provided by an arc protective blanket.  
5.4 This guide is designed for electrical engineers and qualified installers of arc protective blankets.  
5.5 The practice is limited by the blanket protective value, the sturdiness of the installation, and the engineering assumptions of the hazard assessment.  
5.6 These blankets do not typically provide dielectric protection.  
5.7 These blankets do not eliminate the need for arc-rated PPE but may reduce the level of the hazard in some installations.
SCOPE
1.1 This guide provides information for the selection, care, and use of arc protective blankets for personnel protection.  
1.2 This guide covers positioning and securing arc protective blankets (tested to Test Method F2676) and channeling the thermal, ballistic, and concussive forces generated by an arc flash event using arc protective blankets.  
1.3 This guide describes the use of the arc protective blanket to maximize its protective effectiveness to workers exposed to energized electrical equipment where complete de-energizing of the work zone cannot be achieved or for low-risk exposures with sufficient arc flash incident energy to warrant secondary protective means in the event of an arc flash.  
1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. See IEEE/ASTM SI-10.  
1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.  
1.6 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
