1.2This specification includes gas/oil mixtures as commonly used for two-cycle engines.

1.3This specification includes single- and multi-compartment containers.

1.4This standard addresses the effectiveness of the child resistance (CR) device only after closure cycling, but does not address closure effectiveness:

1.4.1When at high or low temperatures,

1.4.2After thermal aging of polymers,

1.4.3After exposure to sunlight,

1.4.4After exposure to intended fuels, and

1.4.5After physical abuses, such as drops or impacts.

Note 1:Please see Appendix X1 for additional information on these exemptions.

1.5The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.

1.6This 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 and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
