Introduction
When using non-electric initiation systems there is a need to transfer the shock wave from one unit to
another and/or to delay the signal. The shock wave can be transferred from electric detonators, electronic
detonators and non-electric detonators. This can be done by means of surface connectors, detonating
cord relays and coupling accessories.
Coupling accessories are not explosives and hence are not regulated by the Directive 2014/28/EU.
Coupling accessories have been included in the scope because they are comm
