6.5 Definitions of terms used in this specification.
6.5.1 Entry. For the purpose of this specification, entry means: (1) the opening of one or more drawers of the cabinet, or (2) provision of a gap, crevice or hole of any dimension in the cabinet from which material can be extracted.
6.5.2 Surreptitious entry. For the purpose of this specification, surreptitious entry means a method of entry, such as lock manipulation or radiological attack on the combination lock, which would not be detectable during normal use or during inspection by a qualified person.
6.5.3 Covert entry. For the purpose of this specification, covert entry is defined as a method of entry which causes physical damage to the container
or lock such that the damage can be repaired to the point where it would not be detectable by a user during normal use. However, the damage would be
detectable during inspection by a qualified person. If replacement parts, including replacement lock parts, or paint, are necessary to conceal the damage caused by the entry attempt so it cannot be detected during normal use, the entry method shall be considered covert.
6.5.4 Forced entry. For the purpose of this specification, forced entry means a method of entry which would leave evidence of the act and which would be readily discernible in the normal use of the cabinet. Forced entry is considered to be an attack in which the attacker has no concern over leaving evidence that the container has been opened.
6.5.5 Normal use. For the purpose of this specification, normal use means the opening of the combination lock, releasing the locking mechanism, opening the cabinet drawer to the extent necessary for the reception or withdrawal of material, and closing and relocking the cabinet.
6.5.6 Lock manipulation. For the purpose of this specification, lock manipulation is defined as the opening of the combination lock without alteration of the physical structure, or disarranging of parts. Ordinarily, manipulation would be accomplished by movement of the lock dial.
6.6 Samples. All samples required for test purposes shall be furnished at no expense to the Government and the manufacturer shall pay all transportation to and from the point where the tests are performed. All tested samples shall become property of the Government but may be released to the manufacturer at the option of the Government. Upon request, the manufacturer shall furnish to the Government testing facility, a cabinet equal in respect
to that of the qualified sample for use in inspection and test during the term of qualification. The cabinet shall be furnished at no expense to the Government and will be returned to the manufacturer upon removal of his
product from the qualified products list.
6.7 Special techniques. Information relating to the requirements of
3.4.4 in respect to special techniques will be disclosed to qualified
suppliers and personnel of the Federal agencies on a need to know basis.
