This draft European Standard is submitted to CEN members for enquiry. It has been drawn up by the Technical Committee
CEN/TC 321.

If this draft becomes a European Standard, CEN members are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations
which stipulate the conditions for giving this European Standard the status of a national standard without any alteration.

This draft European Standard was established by CEN in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other
language made by translation under the responsibility of a CEN member into its own language and notified to the CEN-CENELEC
Management Centre has the same status as the official versions.

CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia,
Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway,
Poland, Portugal, Republic of North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and
United Kingdom.

Recipients of this draft are invited to submit, with their comments, notification of any relevant patent rights of which they are
aware and to provide supporting documentation.

European foreword
This document (prEN 13763-9:2021) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 321
“Explosives for civil uses”, the secretariat of which is held by UNE.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 13763-9:2003.
In comparison with the previous edition, the following technical modifications have been made:
a) Clause 1, Scope, has been revised:
1) It now includes electric detonators, non-electric detonators, plain detonators and electronic
detonators;
2) it has been added that the document applies to explosives for civil uses;
b) in Clause 3, Terms and definitions, term 3.1 has been added and Figure 2 has been added to term 3.2;
c) Clause 4, Principle, has been added;
d) Clause 6, Preparation and handling of test samples and test pieces, has been revised
1) it is now specified that detonators shall have the same design and composition according to the
manufacturer’s specification;
2) 6.1, Handling of test samples, has been added;
e) in Clause 7, Procedure, subclause 7.4, Functional test, has been added;
f) Clause 8, Expression of results, has been added;
g) Annex A, Range of applicability of the test method, has been removed;
h) Annex ZA has been updated.
This document has been prepared under a Standardization Request (M/562) annexed to the Commission
Implementing Decision C(2019)6634 final as regards Explosives for civil uses given to CEN by the
European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports Essential Safety
requirements of Directive 2014/28/EU.
For relationship with Directive 2014/28/EU, see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this
document.
EN 13763, Explosives for civil uses — Detonators and detonating cord relays, is currently composed with
the following parts:
— Part 1: Requirements
— Part 2: Verification of thermal stability
— Part 3: Determination of sensitiveness to impact

Introduction
During use on site, detonators can be subjected to bending during the loading of boreholes. This test
assesses the ability of detonators to resist the bending forces likely to be experienced in normal use.
