本标准规定了常规弹药（不包括核武器、生物武器和化学武器）包装和包装开发中使用的容器材料、性能和环境测试。就本文件而言，常规弹药包括一大类1级危险材料，如小武器、投射物、推进装药、引信、弹药筒（即坦克、迫击炮）、底火、雷管、火箭、手榴弹、地雷、模拟器、照明弹等。但是，它仅适用于符合a级（最高军事保护）包装分类的包装弹药。它还将涵盖那些需要部署A级保护以长期储存但通常不作为战术弹药部署的包装和物品（即推进剂）。

This standard establishes container material, performance, and environmental tests for use in development of packaging and packing for conventional ammunition (excluding nuclear, biological, and chemical). For purposes of this document, conventional ammunition includes a broad category of Class 1 hazardous material such as small arms, projectiles, propelling charges, fuzes, cartridges (i.e., tank, mortar), primers, detonators, rockets, grenades, mines, simulators, flares, etc. However, it will only apply to packaged ammunition meeting Level A (maximum military protection) packaging classification. It will also cover those packs and items (i.e., propellant) which require fielded Level A protection for long term storage but are not normally fielded as tactical ammunition.
