This Standard provides performance and safetyrequirements for splitting wedges that are used specifi-cally for splitting wood.It is intended to serve as a guidein selecting, testing, and using the hand tools covered.lt is not the purpose of this Standard to specify thedetails of manufacturing.
This Standard is also meant to serve as a guide indeveloping manuals and posters and for training per-sonnel in safe practices.
This Standard may be used as a guide by state authori-ties or other regulatory bodies in the formulation of lawsor regulations. It is also intended for voluntary use byestablishments that use or manufacture the tools cov-ered. The methods employed to ensure compliance withthis Standard shall be determined by the proper regula-tory or administrative authority.

3 DEFINITIONS See Figs. 1, 2, and 3 as applicable. bevel: the angular portion of the wedge adjacent to the splitting edge and extending to the taper. chamfer: the angled flat surface or equivalent radius of the wedge encircling the perimeter of the struck face. equivalent: the word equivalent in this Standard shall be interpreted to mean alternate designs or features that will provide an equal degree of safety.
guide groorves or wings: when provided, the long, narrowimpressions or protrusions located on opposite sides ofthe taper.
hardness: the condition of the wedge resulting from heattreatment.
head: the portion of the wedge between the struck faceand the taper.
safety message: the information imprinted on or affixedto the wedge that is intended to promote safety.
shaII: characterizes mandatory requirements of thisStandard.
should: indicates if a provision is of an advisory nature,or is stated as a recommendation.
splitting edge: the edge formed by the bevel directly oppo-site the struck face.
struck face: the portion of the wedge located adjacent tothe head directly opposite the splitting edge.
taper: the portion of the wedge with a gradually reducingcross-sectional area, located between the head and thebevel.
REQUIREMENTS4.1 Design
Wood-splitting wedges shall have a splitting edge andtaper for splitting wood, and a struck face to be struckby the appropriate striking tool. An appropriate strikingtool shall mean a sledge or woodchopper’s maul with astriking face not less than 0.375 in. (9.50 mm) largerin diameter than the struck face of the wood-splittingwedge.
Typical styles of wood-splitting wedges are shown inFigs. 1,2, and 3, and their uses are listed below. The
