scope:

This document applies to mechanical padlocks and padlock fittings normally used in buildings and specifies the test methods to be used. This document specifies performance and other requirements for strength, security, durability, performance and corrosion resistance of padlocks. It establishes one category of use, two categories of durability, six categories for corrosion resistance and six grades for security. Limited manual attack testing is included in this standard because the machine testing does not replicate all known manual attacks. Requirements which relate to security are classified in six grades, based on performance tests that simulate attack.
