Security seals are available in many configurations and, for the purpose of comparing the physical properties of security seals, they are grouped ASTM F 1157.
They are further classified by style (i.e. Style A, B, C, D, E, and F) which are further defined by type.
See
FF-S-2738, Seals, Antipilferage
for more definition.
For AA&E or classified materiel shipments, security seals types 9, 11, 12, or 13 are required and must be stamped "US" to be a DOD approved security seal for transportation.
See our
Security Seals Ordering Information
page for a list of DOD approved security seals.
