Introduction
From a safety and reliability point of view electronic initiation systems are more complex than electric
and non-electric detonator systems, which results in new risk factors.
This document specifies a risk analysis procedure to be used by the manufacturer to investigate the safety
and reliability of electronic initiation systems by identifying hazards and estimating the risks associated
with the system.
The step in the risk analysis procedure, which refers to acceptability of risks, includes both references to
testing and evaluation methods, which apply where appropriate for the specific system. The document
also stipulates levels of acceptability.
Manufacturers of electronic initiation systems have used significantly different design and system
solutions in order to fulfil acceptable safety and reliability criteria. The product development in the field
is rapid. Therefore, the document aims to be valid for different system solutions.
The requirements for electronic initiation systems are specified in prEN 13763-1:2021 and the
manufacturer uses the tests in this document or other relevant parts of the EN 13763 series to verify that
these requirements are met.
