Explosives for civil uses - Detonators and detonating cord relays - Part 8: Verification of resistance to vibration of plain and semi-finished detonators

This document specifies a method for determination the ability of the explosive content of plain detonators and semi-finished detonators to withstand vibration it could be exposed to during use, handling and transport. Plain detonators are instantaneous detonators supplied without means of activation. Semi-finished detonators are detonator supplied without means of activation
This document applies to explosives for civil uses.
NOTE Plain detonators and semi-finished detonators are normally activated by means of detonating cord, safety fuse, pyrotechnic igniter or shock tube.

Explosivstoffe für zivile Zwecke - Zünder und Sprengschnurverzögerer - Teil 8: Überprüfung des Widerstandes von Sprengkapseln und halbfertigen Zündern gegen Erschütterung

Dieses Dokument legt ein Verfahren für die Bestimmung der Fähigkeit des explosiven Füllmaterials von Sprengkapseln und halbfertigen Zündern fest, den Erschütterungen standzuhalten, denen sie während der Verwendung, der Handhabung und des Transports ausgesetzt sein könnten. Sprengkapseln sind Momentzünder ohne Einrichtung zur Zündung. Halbfertige Zünder sind Zünder ohne Einrichtung zur Zündung.
Dieses Dokument gilt für Explosivstoffe für zivile Zwecke.
ANMERKUNG   Sprengkapseln und halbfertige Zünder werden üblicherweise mittels Sprengschnur, Sicherheitsanzündschnur, pyrotechnischen Anzündern oder Zündschlauch aktiviert.
