1.1 This standard prescribes the methods of test for metal containers. The tests prescribed are:
a) Air Pressure Test,
b) Hydraulic Pressure Test,
c) Handle Pull Test, and
d) Drop Test.
1.2 This standard does not deal with the requirements of metal con-tainers, which are covered by separate standards, but specifies only the essential details of the methods for testing them.
1.3 Should any inconsistency exist between the requirements of this standard and those, if any, given in the standard for individual con-tainers, the latter shall prevail.
