Overview

SIST EN ISO 14451-3:2013 establishes comprehensive labelling requirements for pyrotechnic articles used in vehicles. As part of the ISO 14451 series, this standard focuses specifically on the essential information that must be displayed on pyrotechnic products to ensure safety, traceability, and regulatory compliance. Prepared by CEN in cooperation with ISO technical committees, EN ISO 14451-3 supports the harmonization of vehicle safety components-such as airbags and seatbelt pretensioners-across European and international markets.

This standard is critical for manufacturers and importers of vehicle pyrotechnic articles, providing clear guidelines on what information must be conveyed via labels on the product or its packaging.

---

Key Topics

• CE Marking and Identification
  Products must feature the CE marking either directly on the pyrotechnic article or on accompanying labels or packaging. This marking confirms compliance with EU safety directives and must be accompanied by the notified body’s identification number responsible for quality monitoring.

• Manufacturer and Importer Details
  The name of the manufacturer or the importer (if the manufacturer is outside the target market) must be clearly indicated to ensure accountability and traceability.

• Product Name and Type
  Labelling should explicitly state the name and type of the pyrotechnic article, facilitating recognition and classification.

• Safety Instructions
  Safety information must be displayed, either through standardized pictograms compliant with ISO standards (ISO 701, ISO 2575, ISO 3864) or written instructions provided by the manufacturer, ensuring user awareness of handling precautions.

• Registration Number Format
  Each pyrotechnic article requires a unique registration number based on the notified body issuing the type certificate. The format follows: XXXX-YY-ZZZZZZ, where:

  • XXXX = notified body ID
  • YY = category (P1 or P2)
  • ZZZZZZ = six-digit certificate number

• Labelling for Small and Semi-Finished Products
  When space on the article is limited, mandatory labelling details must appear on the primary packaging. Semi-finished products must always carry labeling information on their packaging.

---

Applications

SIST EN ISO 14451-3:2013 applies primarily to the manufacture, importation, and marketing of pyrotechnic articles for automotive safety, including:

• Airbag gas generators
• Seatbelt pretensioners
• Igniters and actuators
• Micro gas generators

Implementing this labelling standard helps ensure compliance with EU Directive 2007/23/EC governing pyrotechnic articles, supports product safety, aids in quality control, and facilitates regulatory inspections. Proper labelling also helps automotive manufacturers and suppliers maintain traceability throughout the supply chain, enhancing consumer safety and reducing liability risks.
