3. This document contains a description of tests or references to NATO Standardization Agreements (STANAGs) for the assessment of munition safety and Insensitive Munitions (IM) characteristics of non-nuclear munitions. Historically, this standard was used primarily for the assessment of weapon safety. The standard was later revised to add additional IM tests as called out by the Joint Service Requirement for
Insensitive Munitions (JSRIM), and now by various NATO STANAGs.
The previous revision made a distinction between weapon safety
tests and the IM tests, even though these tests may often be
contained in the same system hazard assessment test program.
This revision updates the applicable documents in section 2, and
provides updates to the IM tests (section 5.2) based on the
Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) recommendation of a
standardized, single set of IM tests and passing criteria for
use by all Components for assessing IM compliance, as directed
by the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology
and Logistics memorandum of February 1, 2010.
4. Three sets of tests are commonly used to assess munitions with respect to hazards: IM tests as contained or contained in this standard; Hazard Classification (HC) tests used to classify munitions for transportation and storage purposes; and basic safety tests used to assess munition safety and suitability response or system vulnerability. In order to best utilize limited resources and avoid test redundancy, tailor IM test
plans to the maximum extent possible, so that all three sets of tests can be addressed in one coordinated test program with the minimum number of samples. It is recommended that test plans be coordinated with the appropriate service hazard classifier and the Department of Defense Explosives Safety Board (DDESB), 2461
Eisenhower Avenue, Alexandria, VA 22331-0600, when a DOD hazard
classification for an item is to be obtained in accordance with
TB 700-21.
