Abstract
The scope of this standard is limited to barrier-penetrating tear gas munitions that incorporate orthochlorobenzylidene malononitrile (CS) or alpha-chloroacetophenone (CN) as the active agent (lacrimator), regardless of the means of dissemination of the tear gas. Requirements include labeling and workmanship, reliability, accuracy, penetration, range, characteristics of the active agent, storage stability, and ability to withstand rough handling. Diagrams.
