ASTM F2856
Scope
1.1 This practice is intended to satisfy the demand for information on the basic procedures for the safe handling and transfilling of small (not bulk) paintball CO2 cylinders commonly used with a paintball marker for propulsion of a paintball. This standard does not address issues dealing with the transfilling, storage, and handling of supply cylinders that may be used in transfilling smaller cylinders.
1.2 The CO2 fill procedures are written for the pressure cycling cylinder transfilling method most commonly used by paintball field and/or store operators.
1.3 This practice should not be confused with federal, state, provincial, or municipal specifications or regulations; insurance requirements; or national safety codes.
1.4 This practice does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with the safe handling and transfilling of small paintball cylinders. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations, such as and not limited to DOT, CGA, and OSHA, prior to use.
