ASTM F3020-19a

1.1 This standard applies to all hand-worn or glove-type metal detectors used to find metal contraband concealed or hidden on people or other objects with hand-accessible surfaces. Hand-worn metal detectors (HWMDs) are significantly different in design compared to the more common hand-held metal detector (HHMD). For example, the HWMD generates a much more localized magnetic field than does the HHMD and the useful field of the HWMD is normal to the plane of the hand whereas the useful field of the HHMD is multi-directional.
