European foreword
This document (prEN 16263-2:2021) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 212
“Pyrotechnic articles”, the secretariat of which is held by NEN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 16263-2:2015.
In comparison with the previous edition, the following technical modifications have been made:
— references to 2007/23/EC are replaced by references to 2013/29/EU. Annex ZA has been adjusted
accordingly;
— Annex A and Annex ZB have been deleted;
— requirements for pyrotechnic articles that contain detonative explosives other than black powder
and/or flash composition have been added, i.e. clause 4.6 and 8.2.2;
— clause 5.4 has been extended with more generic types;
— specific requirements on suitable instructions and markings have been added to clause 8.1;
— verification of design (except semi-finished products) has been added to Table 2 and Table 4.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).
