Explosives for civil uses - Assessment of on-site mixed explosives and associated manufacturing units

This document gives guidance on the issues related to the conformity assessment of explosives manufactured on-site.
On one hand, it specifies requirements to be considered for the assessment during the design phase of the explosive and a simple and robust approach to follow for the assessment of the conformity in the production phase.
And on the other hand, it specifies requirements for the mobile manufacturing units and their accessories as a contribution to the guarantee of the conformity of explosives produced in on-site conditions with no access to a laboratory.
This document gives guidance on also basic requirements for explosives loading equipment.
This document does not apply to the preparation of multi-component explosives as they neither require manufacturing equipment nor mechanical loading.
NOTE 1   This document does not address the requirements of the transport of dangerous goods regulations.
NOTE 2   This document does not address the requirements established in Directive 2006/42/EC (Machinery).
NOTE 3   Despite the provisions given in this document, other provisions provided for in state, federal or local regulations apply.
NOTE 4   The intention of this document is not to hinder the development and use of new technologies (including equipment and processes) for the on-site manufacture of explosive, but because of limited access to testing resources on site, the approach consisting of having specified requirements for the equipment is valid to ensure the conformity of future products and technologies.

Explosivstoffe für zivile Zwecke - Bewertung von vor-Ort hergestellten Sprengstoffen und deren Herstellungseinheiten

Dieses Dokument gibt Hilfestellungen auf Fragen im Zusammenhang mit der Konformitätsbewertung von vor Ort hergestellten Explosivstoffen.
Einerseits legt es für die Bewertung in der Entwicklungsphase des Explosivstoffs zu berücksichtigende Anforderungen und einen einfachen und soliden Ansatz für die Konformitätsbewertung in der Produktionsphase fest.
Andererseits legt es Anforderungen an die mobilen Herstellungseinheiten und ihr Zubehör als Beitrag zur Sicherstellung der Konformität von Explosivstoffen, die unter Vor-Ort-Bedingungen ohne Zugang zu einem Labor hergestellt werden fest.
Dieses Dokument gibt auch Hilfestellungen für grundlegende Anforderungen an Ladeausrüstung für Explosivstoffe behandelt.
ANMERKUNG 1   Dieses Dokument befasst sich nicht mit den Anforderungen der Gefahrguttransportvorschriften.
ANMERKUNG 2   Dieses Dokument befasst sich nicht mit den Anforderungen in Richtlinie 2006/42/EG (Maschinen-richtlinie).
ANMERKUNG 3   Neben den Bestimmungen in diesem Dokument gelten weitere Bestimmungen in Landes , Bundes- oder lokalen Vorschriften.
ANMERKUNG 4   Mit diesem Dokument wird nicht beabsichtigt, die Entwicklung und den Einsatz neuer Technologien (einschließlich Ausrüstung und Prozessen) für die Vor-Ort-Herstellung von Explosivstoffen zu behindern, aber aufgrund des eingeschränkten Zugangs zu Prüfressourcen vor Ort ist der Ansatz mit konkreten Anforderungen an die Ausrüstung zur Sicherstellung der Konformität zukünftiger Produkte und Technologien berechtigt.

Explosifs à usage civil - Évaluation des explosifs mélangés sur site et des unités de fabrication associées

Le présent document donne des recommandations relatives à l'évaluation de la conformité des explosifs fabriqués sur site.
D'une part, il spécifie les exigences à prendre en compte pour l'évaluation lors de la phase de conception de l'explosif et une approche simple et robuste à suivre pour l'évaluation de la conformité lors de la phase de production.
D'autre part, il spécifie les exigences applicables aux unités mobiles de fabrication et à leurs accessoires à titre de contribution à la garantie de la conformité des explosifs produits dans des conditions sur site sans accès à un laboratoire.
Le présent document donne des recommandations sur les exigences de base relatives aux équipements de chargement d'explosifs.
NOTE 1   Le présent document ne traite pas des exigences de la réglementation relative au transport des marchandises dangereuses.
NOTE 2   Le présent document ne traite pas des exigences établies dans la Directive 2006/42/CE (Machines).
NOTE 3   Malgré les dispositions fournies dans le présent document, d'autres dispositions prévues par les réglementations nationales, fédérales ou locales s'appliquent.
NOTE 4   L'intention du présent document n'est pas d'entraver le développement et l'utilisation de nouvelles technologies (y compris les équipements et les procédés) pour la fabrication sur site d'explosifs, mais en raison de l'accès limité aux ressources d'essai sur site, l'approche consistant à avoir des exigences spécifiées pour l'équipement est valable pour garantir la conformité des technologies et produits futurs.
