This test method permits an observation of the progressive destruction or failure of the package, through which means of improving the design may be determined. The drum test is not intended to simulate any specific environmental hazard.

1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
