European foreword
This document (prEN 13631-5:2021) 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 for the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 13631-5:2002.
In comparison with the previous edition, the following technical modifications have been made:
a) the main element of the document’s title has been changed from “High explosives” to “Explosives”;
b) the normative references have been updated;
c) a new method for measuring the velocity of detonation by means of a continuous wire probe has
been added;
d) the description of the preparatory steps and for performing the test have been clearly separated;
e) the concept of “water resistance” has been clarified by addressing with this part only shallow water
up to a water depth of 20 cm, including general humidity and spray water;
f) Annex A, Range of applicability of the test method, has been removed;
g) 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 13631, Explosives for civil uses — Explosives, is currently composed with the following parts:
— Part 1: Requirements
— Part 2: Determination of thermal stability of explosives
— Part 3: Determination of sensitiveness to friction of explosives
— Part 4: Determination of sensitiveness to impact of explosives
— Part 5: Determination of resistance of explosives to water
— Part 6: Determination of resistance of explosives to hydrostatic pressure
— Part 7: Determination of safety and reliability of explosives at extreme temperatures
— Part 10: Method for the verification of the means of initiation of explosives

1 Scope
This document specifies a test method of determining the resistance to water of boosters, cartridge or
bulk explosives, which are designed to be used for blasting operations in wet conditions.
This test method does not apply to black powder.
2 Normative references
The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content
constitutes requirements of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For
undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
prEN 13630-7:2021, Explosives for civil uses - Detonating cords and safety fuses - Part 7: Determination of
reliability of initiation of detonating cords
prEN 13631-14:2021, Explosives for civil uses — Explosives — Part 14: Determination of the velocity of
detonation of explosives
prEN 13857-1:2021, Explosives for civil uses — Part 1: Terminology
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in prEN 13857-1:2021 apply.
4 Principle
The test method addresses potential negative effects of water penetration into the explosive.
The testing distinguishes between explosives, where a cover material (in case of cartridged explosives)
is necessary to guarantee water resistance and other explosives, which are water resistant even without
the cover material. In the latter case the cover material is cut prior to testing, in order to enable contact
of the explosive with the water.
NOTE 1 Knowledge on water resistance is necessary to guarantee reliable functioning, if the manufacturer
foresees use under wet conditions.
NOTE 2 The test does not address the ability of explosives to detonate under applied hydrostatic pressure.
5 Apparatus
5.1 V-shaped guide, made from aluminium or similar material, of length at least 500 mm longer than
the length of the cartridge under test (see Figure 1). The guide shall have a series of holes, spaced 2 mm
apart in the direction at right angles
