The ASTM D3950-23 standard specification defines non-metallic strapping and joining methods for the closure, reinforcement, strapping, and support of transported items, such as unitized, stackable, car and truck loading. The specification addresses five types of strapping materials, including seals and fasteners made of anti-corrosion coatings or plastics. Each strapping material is tested according to specified procedures to ensure compliance with breaking strength, elongation, transverse strength, and connection strength requirements. The standard is primarily in inches-pounds, and conversion values in SI units are for reference only. Note that the standard does not cover all safety hazards. Users need to establish appropriate safety practices and comply with regulations before use.
