Overview
EN 16263-5:2015 is a European Standard developed by CEN that outlines the minimum labelling requirements and mandatory instructions for use for "other pyrotechnic articles." This standard excludes pyrotechnic articles designed for vehicles, powder-actuated cartridges, and ignition devices. It ensures that pyrotechnic products are labelled with essential information to promote safety, traceability, and proper use by consumers and professionals within the European market. Compliance with EN 16263-5 supports adherence to EU Directives 2007/23/EC and 2013/29/EU concerning the placing on the market of pyrotechnic articles.
Key Topics
The standard specifies detailed requirements for labeling and user instructions, including:
Manufacturer and Importer Information: Labels must clearly display the name and address of the manufacturer or, if the manufacturer is outside the European Community, the importer’s details must also be included.
Type, Category, and Registration Number: Articles must be identified with the generic or subtype name as per EN 16263-3:2015, including a registration number for product traceability showing the notified body’s identification and article category.
Age Limits: Minimum age limits applicable in the country of retail sale must be clearly stated on the label, with a standard minimum age of 18 years for P1 category articles unless modified by national law.
Instructions for Use: Comprehensive instructions covering safe operation, ancillary equipment, handling, storage, disposal, and personal protective equipment (PPE). The instructions emphasize safety with bold type or graphical symbols aligned with ISO 3864-1, ISO 7000, and EN ISO 7010 standards.
Safety Distances and Hazard Zones: Labels and instructions must detail safe firing distances and hazard zones, with methods to calculate or maintain these when a single safe distance cannot be provided.
Net Explosive Content (NEC): Labels must include the net explosive content, ensuring users are aware of the explosive quantity involved.
Means of Ignition and Safe/Arm Devices: Clear indication of the ignition method and the status of any manual safe/arm safety devices.
Additional Safety Information: Where applicable, warnings about noise levels, projected debris, flame length, thermal hazards, and “use by” dates for product validity.
Applications
EN 16263-5:2015 serves manufacturers, importers, distributors, and end-users of various pyrotechnic articles by providing clear safety and usage guidelines on product labeling. The standard:
Enhances Safety and Compliance: Ensures all pyrotechnic articles on the European market meet consistent safety labelling and documentation requirements, minimizing risks from improper use.
Supports Regulatory Market Access: Helps manufacturers and importers comply with essential requirements under relevant EU directives, facilitating smooth market access and reducing legal risks.
Aids End-Users: Provides essential safety instructions, recommended personal protective equipment, and hazard zone information for informed and safe usage of pyrotechnic products.
Improves Traceability: A standardized registration and certification marking system assists in monitoring and quality control of pyrotechnic articles throughout the supply chain.
