Pyrotechnic articles - Other pyrotechnic articles - Ignition devices

This European Standard defines the terms and specifies the requirements, means of categorisation, test methods, minimum labelling requirements and instructions for use, for ignition devices (except ignition devices for pyrotechnic articles for vehicles) of the following generic types:
-  igniters;
-  components for pyrotechnic trains;
-  pyrotechnic Cords and fuses;
-  delay fuses;
-  fuzes.
NOTE   Safety fuses are subject to Directive 93/15/EEC and therefore not considered in this European Standard.

-  arsenic or arsenic compounds;
-  polychlorobenzenes;
-  mercury compounds;
-  white phosphorus;
-  picrates or picric acid.
This European Standard does not apply to pyrotechnic articles containing blasting agents and military explosives except black powder and flash composition.

Pyrotechnische Gegenstände - Sonstige pyrotechnische Gegenstände - Anzündmittel

Diese Europäische Norm legt die Begriffe und Anforderungen, die Mittel der Kategorisierung, Prüfverfahren, Mindestanforderungen an die Kennzeichnung und die Gebrauchsanweisung fest, die sich auf Anzündmittel (mit Ausnahme von Anzündmitteln für pyrotechnische Gegenstände für Fahrzeuge) der folgenden Gegenstandstypen beziehen:
-   Anzünder;
-   Bestandteile von Anzündketten;
-   pyrotechnische Anzündschnüre und  litzen;
-   Anzündverzögerungsmittel (-schnüre);
-   Anzünder für Anzündketten.
ANMERKUNG   Sicherheitsanzündschnüre unterliegen der Richtlinie 93/15/EWG und sind daher nicht Gegenstand dieser Europäischen Norm.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt nicht für Gegenstände, die pyrotechnische Sätze aus einem der folgenden Stoffe enthalten:
-   Arsen oder Arsenverbindungen;
-   Polychlorbenzole;
-   Quecksilberverbindungen;
-   Weißer Phosphor;
-   Pikrate oder Pikrinsäure.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt nicht für pyrotechnische Gegenstände, die Sprengstoffe und militärische Explosivstoffe mit Ausnahme von Schwarzpulver und Blitzsätzen enthalten.

Articles pyrotechniques - Autres articles pyrotechniques - Dispositifs de mise à feu

La présente Norme européenne définit les termes et spécifie les exigences, le classement en catégories, les méthodes d'essai, les exigences minimales d'étiquetage et les instructions d’utilisation concernant les types génériques de dispositifs de mise de feu suivants (à l'exception des dispositifs de mise de feu pour articles pyrotechniques destinés aux véhicules) :
-   les inflammateurs ou allumeurs,
-   les composants de chaînes pyrotechniques,
-   les cordeaux et mèches pyrotechniques,
-   les retards pyrotechniques,
-   les fusées.
NOTE   Les cordeaux de sécurité relèvent de la Directive 93/15/CEE et ne sont donc pas pris en considération dans la présente Norme européenne.
La présente Norme européenne ne s’applique pas aux articles contenant des compositions pyrotechniques comprenant l’une des substances suivantes :
-   arsenic ou composés à base d’arsenic,
-   polychlorobenzènes,
-   composés à base de mercure,
-   phosphore blanc,
-   picrates ou acide picrique.
La présente Norme européenne ne s’applique pas aux articles pyrotechniques contenant des substances explosives commerciales ou des explosifs militaires sauf ceux contenant de la poudre noire et une composition flash.
