ASTM WK91829
Specification The development of this new standard is driven by the critical need to ensure consumer safety and enhance the longevity of interchangeable vaporizer devices and accessories, such as 510 carts and batteries. As the ECDS market continues to expand, it is essential to establish consistent guidelines for compatible voltage ranges, output power limitations, and ramp-up durations. These specifications are vital for preventing device malfunctions, minimizing risks of overheating and degradation, and protecting consumers from potential hazards associated with improper power management in vaporizer devices. This standard will serve as a comprehensive design specification for manufacturers, quality control professionals, and regulatory bodies involved in the production and evaluation of ECDS and accessories. It will outline detailed requirements for voltage compatibility, output power limits, and controlled ramp-up durations to ensure safe and effective operation of interchangeable components. Additionally, the standard will provide standardized testing methods, sampling procedures, and certification processes to verify compliance. This standard is intended to harmonize the industry’s approach to power management in vaporizer devices, thereby promoting consumer safety and ECDS longevity. The primary users of this standard will include: 1. Manufacturers: To guide the design and production of ECDS, ensuring they operate safely within specified power parameters. 2. Quality Control Professionals: To utilize standardized test methods and inspection criteria for verifying ECDS compliance with power management specifications. 3. Regulatory Bodies: To reference the standard in regulations and compliance assessments, ensuring industry-wide adherence to safety and quality best practices. The secondary users of this standard will include: 1. Researchers and Developers: To provide a baseline for developing new technologies and improving existing ECDS, ensuring innovations meet established safety standards. 2. End-users and Consumers: Indirectly benefit from increased safety, reliability, and longevity of vaporizer products manufactured according to the standard.
