This European Standard specifies a method to assess the stability of explosives by subjecting them to elevated thermal conditions.

This European Standard specifies a method for determining the ability of high explosives for civil uses to detonate while under applied hydrostatic pressure.This method is applicable to high explosives in cartridges and as bulk products intended for use under conditions where hydrostatic pressure may adversely affect their safety and reliability. The method is limited to explosives that are able to detonate without confinement at normal atmospheric pressure.

This European Standard specifies a method of determining the resistance to water of cartridged or bulk high explosives for civil uses, which are designed to be used for blasting operations in wet conditions.

This document specifies a method of determining an initiation capability for detonating cords.NOTE The limitations of this method are described in 7.3.The test method described in this document is intended to assess the initiation capability of detonating cords only. The reliability of initiation is assessed in prEN 13630-7:2021.

This European Standard specifies a method for determining the velocity of detonation of an explosive. The method is applicable to explosives for civil uses in cartridged or bulk form.

This document specifies a method for determining the all-fire impulse and the no-fire impulse of electric detonators.

This document specifies methods for determination of the sensitiveness to impact for plain detonators, electric detonators, non-electric detonators, electronic detonators, surface connectors, detonating cord relays and shock tubes used with electronic and non-electric detonators.This document applies to explosives for civil uses.

This document specifies a method for determining the no-fire current of electric detonators. This document applies to explosives for civil uses.

This document specifies a method for the determination of burning rate under ambient conditions for solid gun propellants. It is applicable to solid gun propellants and black powder in their original form up to a grain size of 8 mm.NOTE 1 Knowledge of burning rate is of high importance to manage risks associated with handling such explosives and of high importance to assess whether performance characteristics are met.NOTE 2 In cases where propellants having grain size higher than 8 mm are generally used, their burning rate is more influenced and controlled by parameters of element containing thereof, and thus knowledge of their burning rate at ambient condition is not of high importance.

This document specifies a method for verification of the thermal stability of electric detonators, non-electric detonators, plain detonators, electronic detonators, surface connectors, detonating cord relays and shock tubes for use with electronic and non-electric detonators.This document applies to explosives for civil uses.Explosives become more stable in low temperatures and therefore this method does not include temperatures lower than (75 ± 2) °C.

This document specifies a method for determining of resistance of electric detonators to electrostatic discharge (ESD).This document is applicable to explosives for civil uses.

This European Standard specifies a method for the verification of the initiation of a high explosive by a specified initiation system. This method is applicable to high explosives in cartridge or bulk form, both unconfined and confined.

This European Standard specifies the requirements for high explosives for civil uses when subjected to testmethods defined in the standards referred herein
