ASTM F1247-89(2018)

Annotation of standard text ASTM F1247-89(2018) :

This specification is for the use and guidance of those who purchase, design, construct, install, approve, or modify generic vault structures intended for protection of valuables against loss due to forced entry. It also includes the descriptions of terms, classifications, materials, practices, and methods to be followed in constructing, fabricating, or modifying intrusion resistant generic vaults. The vault shall be rated as a unit and that rating shall be determined by the component having the lowest classification. The walls, floor, and ceiling of a vault shall be formed or composed of materials without “true” joints or seams, with the exception of “cold” concrete seams necessitated by construction technique. Components of a building shall not be used as part of the vault unless constructed to provide the equivalent intrusion resistance. The vault enclosure shall be classified into four types: Type M, Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3. Materials to be used in the construction of vault structures shall include concrete, concrete reinforcements, conduit, and grout.
