This specification covers the dimensional and mechanical requirements as well as the construction of steel, aluminum, and glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) non-tight, personnel doors and dutch doors for marine use. The door assembly shall be manufactured free of sharp and rugged edges, and the components shall be pretreated and primed as follows: steel doors and components shall be coated with inorganic zinc-rich primer before assembly, while aluminum doors and components shall be coated with wash primer followed by lead-free, chromate-free, anticorrosion prime coating. On the other hand, GRP doors and components shall be painted a "haze gray" color after molding. Not covered by this specification are joiner, joiner dutch doors, and expanded metal doors.

1.1 This specification to be used in conjunction with Specification F1073, covers the principal dimensions and the mechanical requirements for manufacturing steel, aluminum, and glass-reinforced plastic non-tight, personnel doors and dutch doors, with the exception of joiner, joiner dutch doors, and expanded metal doors, for marine use.

1.2 The doors will be used in non-tight bulkheads.

1.3 When fire protection requirements are applicable to the location of these doors, then the use of aluminum and glass-reinforced plastic doors shall be unacceptable.

1.4 The 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.

1.5 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.
