Причина отмены This test method covered the measurement of the torque developed when Type IA child-resistant closures are rotated in the counter-clockwise direction. Type IA closures are reclosable continuous threaded closures that use a random push down while turning; no orientation of the push down force is necessary.

Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee D10 on Packaging, this test method was withdrawn in January 2016 in accordance with section 10.6.3 of the Regulations Governing ASTM Technical Committees, which requires that standards shall be updated by the end of the eighth year since the last approval date.

Значение и использование

These torque measurements are of value because the reverse-ratchet torque is a torque applied to the closure in the removal direction of the closure. For Type IA closures, it is essential that this torque be significantly lower than some defined level at which the closure might unscrew.

This test may be used to establish performance specification for this attribute.
