Explosives for civil uses - Detonators and relays - Part 11: Determination of resistance to damage by dropping of detonators and relays

This European Standard specifies methods for checking that a detonator, relay or surface connector will not
explode when accidentally dropped onto a hard surface.

Explosivstoffe für zivile Zwecke - Zünder und Verzögerungselemente - Teil 11: Bestimmung der Widerstandsfähigkeit von Zündern und Verzögerungselementen gegen Fall

Dieses Dokument legt Verfahren für die Bestimmung der Widerstandsfähigkeit von nichtelektrischen Zündern, elektrischen Zündern, elektronischen Zündern, Sprengkapseln, Sprengschnurverbinder oder Oberflächenverbindern gegen Beschädigung fest, wenn sie auf einen harten Untergrund fallen gelassen werden.
Dieses Dokument gilt für Explosivstoffe für zivile Zwecke.

Explosifs à usage civil - Détonateurs et relais - Partie 11: Détermination de la résistance des détonateurs et relais à la chute

Le présent document précise les méthodes de détermination de la résistance aux dommages en cas de chute sur une surface dure pour les détonateurs non électriques, les détonateurs électriques, les détonateurs électroniques, les détonateurs pyrotechniques, les relais pour cordeau détonant ou les connecteurs de surface.

This draft European Standard is submitted to CEN members for enquiry. It has been drawn up by the Technical Committee
CEN/TC 321.

If this draft becomes a European Standard, CEN members are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations
which stipulate the conditions for giving this European Standard the status of a national standard without any alteration.

This draft European Standard was established by CEN in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other
language made by translation under the responsibility of a CEN member into its own language and notified to the CEN-CENELEC
Management Centre has the same status as the official versions.

CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia,
Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway,
Poland, Portugal, Republic of North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and

a) Clause 1, Scope, has been revised and now specifies that it is applicable to explosives for civil uses;
b) Clause 3, Terms and definitions, the terms 3.1 and 3.2 have been added;
c) Clause 5, Apparatus, has been updated;
d) Clause 4, Principle, has been added;
e) subclause 6.1, Handling of test samples, has been added;
f) Clause 7, Procedure, has been revised
1) in 7.1, Test conditions, the requirement of an ambient temperature has been removed and a
requirement to cut off the leading wires or the shock tubes or connection to the assembly's
casing has been added;
2) 7.3, Guided drop test for detonators, the position of the metal tubes lower end has been changed;
g) Clause 8, Expression of results, has been added;

Introduction
Non-electric detonators, electric detonators, electronic detonators, plain detonators, detonating cord
relays and surface connectors might be accidentally dropped from a loading basket, from the edge of a
bench, or down an unloaded borehole. This test assesses the ability of detonators, relays and surface
connectors to withstand being dropped without detonating.
