EN 16603-33-11:2019

Space engineering - Explosive subsystems and devices

This Standard defines the requirements for the use of explosives on all spacecraft and other space products including launch vehicles. It addresses the aspects of design, analysis, verification, manufacturing, operations and safety.
This standard may be tailored for the specific characteristics and constraints of a space project in conformance with ECSS-S-ST-00.

Raumfahrttechnik - Explosive Subsysteme und Geräte

Ingénierie spatiale - Sous-systèmes et dispositifs explosifs

Vesoljska tehnika - Eksplozivni podsistemi in naprave

Ta standard opredeljuje zahteve za uporabo eksplozivov na vseh vesoljskih plovilih in drugih vesoljskih izdelkih, vključno z lansirniki. Obravnava vidike zasnove, analize, preverjanja, proizvodnje, obratovanja in varnosti.
Ta standard se lahko prilagodi posameznim lastnostim in omejitvam vesoljskega projekta v skladu s standardom ECSS-S-ST-00.
