BS EN 16261-1:2012EN 16261-1:2012 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard defines various
19、terms relating to the design, construction, performance, labelling and testing of category 4 fireworks. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition c
20、ited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. ISO 2859-1:1999, Sampling procedures for inspection by attributes Part 1: Sampling schemes indexed by acceptance quality limit (AQL) for lot-by-lot inspection 3 Terms and definitio
21、ns For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 General terms 3.1.1 type sample representative of the production envisaged 3.1.2 generic type set of articles with a common, very general, design feature and/or with a common characteristic effect 3.1.3 subtype set
22、of articles within a generic type with specific design features 3.1.4 individual item article within a generic type and/or a subtype, for which every possible feature and characteristic has been fixed Note 1 to entry: Each feature and characteristic will be specified in the technical name or a techn
23、ical data sheet, as appropriate. 3.1.5 technical name general description of an individual item 3.1.6 trade name description of an individual item from a particular supplier 3.1.7 compound firework device in which all the individual elements have been EC-type certified and which does not need any ne
24、w specific EC-type certification BS EN 16261-1:2012EN 16261-1:2012 (E) 5 3.2 Technical terms 3.2.1 Acceptance Quality Level AQL quality level that is the worst tolerable process average when a continuing series of lots is submitted for acceptance sampling 3.2.2 batch test test performed on a sample
25、of products taken at random from a production batch to check compliance with a given standard Note 1 to entry: Batch testing needs all products in the production batch comply with the characteristics the standard requires to assure homogeneity of the whole batch. It aims at proving that all products
26、 which are placed on the market are in conformity with the type which is described in the EC type-examination certificate and have been successfully submitted to type tests as determined by the standard. 3.2.3 burst height altitude of the bursting point of the effect or the article Note 1 to entry:
27、For single break shells, this is the height at which the bursting charge of the shell functions. For complex shells, it is the highest bursting effect. 3.2.4 calibre external diameter of a firework designed to be fired from a mortar tube (e.g. shell) or the internal diameter of a tube which contains
28、 pre-assembled items (e.g. a roman candle) Note 1 to entry: It is important that the internal diameter of the mortar tube is close to the external diameter of the firework, enabling the existence of a peripheral gap which is a compromise between the necessity of a free motion of the firework in the
29、tube and a lowest escape of lift gases passing by the firework during its motion in the tube. 3.2.5 critical nonconforming unit nonconforming unit with one or more critical nonconformities, with or without major or minor nonconformities 3.2.6 critical nonconformity nonconformity that judgement and e
30、xperience indicate is likely to result in hazardous or unsafe conditions Note 1 to entry: This type of nonconformity is referred to a class A nonconformity in ISO 2859-1. 3.2.7 debris any part of the firework which remains after the firework has ceased to function Note 1 to entry: Chemical products
31、resulting from the combustion of the pyrotechnic compositions are not considered as “debris“. 3.2.8 delay fuse fuse incorporated into the initial fuse of a firework to introduce a delay between firing and functioning or the internal fuse in a firework to enable sequential firing of elements of the f
32、irework (e.g. in a shell). BS EN 16261-1:2012EN 16261-1:2012 (E) 6 3.2.9 drift movement of a firework away from the direction of firing, as a result of the action of the wind or other effects Note 1 to entry: For instance, an aerial wheel might drift away from the vertical direction in which it was
33、fired. Drift can be quantified in terms of angle or distance. 3.2.10 effect broadness broadness of effect horizontal dimension of the firework effect 3.2.11 effect height maximum height achieved by the firework Note 1 to entry: For a shell, this would equate to the burst height plus the burst radius
34、 of the shell. For waterfalls, this corresponds with the vertical length of the effect. 3.2.12 effect range horizontal distance between the firing point and the point of explosion (or functioning) on to the water 3.2.13 effect time total duration of effect from its visible and/or aural emergence unt
35、il vanishing 3.2.14 end closure part or crimp which is designed to seal one end of a firework case 3.2.15 explosion sudden release of energy accompanied by a bang with or without a flash 3.2.16 firework case container which is designed to retain pyrotechnic compositions Note 1 to entry: According to
36、 its mechanical strength, this container may intentionally (by design) influence the fireworks behaviour. 3.2.17 firing angle angle (measured from the vertical) of an item as prepared for firing 3.2.18 flash powder uncompacted pyrotechnic composition used to produce an aural effect, with or without
37、emission of an intense and short flash light, or used as a bursting charge or lifting charge 3.2.19 friction head ignition head designed to be ignited by friction Note 1 to entry: See “Ignition head“.

38、acted pyrotechnic composition which burns gradually to ignite a pyrotechnic composition or article Note 1 to entry: By extension, this term also applies to other types of fire transmission devices like quickmatch or blackmatch or pressed fuse. Note 2 to entry: See also “delay fuse“. 3.2.21 gross mas
39、s total mass of the firework (not including any ancillary equipment (e.g. frames) 3.2.22 group set of individual items which will be considered together for the purposes of testing and certification Note 1 to entry: Synonymous with “family“. 3.2.23 ignition head initial fuse consisting of pyrotechni

42、, which is likely to result in failure, to reduce materially the usability of the firework, or to increase the potential hazard Note 1 to entry: This type of nonconformity is referred to a class B nonconformity in ISO 2859-1. 3.2.29 minor nonconforming unit nonconforming unit with one or more minor
43、nonconformities, but with no critical or major nonconformities BS EN 16261-1:2012EN 16261-1:2012 (E) 8 3.2.30 minor nonconformity nonconformity that is not likely to reduce materially the usability of the firework Note 1 to entry: This type of nonconformity is referred to a class C nonconformity in

45、e quantity (NEQ), net explosive mass (NEM) or net explosive weight (NEW) are often used to convey the same meaning. 3.2.33 nonconforming unit firework or assembly of fireworks fused together at the manufacturing level with one or more nonconformities 3.2.34 nonconformity non-fulfilment of a requirem
