This specification covers 14 types of antipilferage seals. These seals are not intended to resist a forced entry attack. Special purpose seals, such as fiber optic, sophisticated electronic seals, and pressure sensitive label seals are not covered by this specification. The generic
classification of seals utilized in this specification is based on American Society for Testing and
Materials (ASTM) standard F832-90, Standard Classification for Security Seals. This is not to
imply that other seals do not exist. Other seals for use in higher antipilferage security applications
fall outside the scope of this specification. Users of this document are reminded to refer to their individual agencies' Physical Security Manual and the Department of Defense manual 5100.76-M, as appropriate.
