For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced docum
25、ent (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 definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
26、 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 of articles within a generic type with specific design features 3.1.4 individual
27、 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 technical data sheet, as appropriate. 3.1.5 technical name general description of an
28、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 new specific EC-type certification DIN EN 16261-1:2013-02 EN 16261-1:2012 (E) 5 3.
29、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 of products taken at random from a production batch to check compliance wit
30、h 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 which are placed on the market are in conformity with the type which is de
31、scribed 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: For single break shells, this is the height at which the bursting charge of
32、 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 pre-assembled items (e.g. a roman candle) Note 1 to entry: It is important
33、 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 tube and a lowest escape of lift gases passing by the firework during its m
34、otion 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 experience indicate is likely to result in hazardous or unsafe conditions No
35、te 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 resulting from the combustion of the pyrotechnic compositions are not consi
36、dered 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 firework (e.g. in a shell). DIN EN 16261-1:2013-02 EN 16261-1:2012 (E) 6 3.2
37、.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 fired. Drift can be quantified in terms of angle or distance. 3.2.10 e
38、ffect 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 of the shell. For waterfalls, this corresponds with the vertical leng
39、th 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 until vanishing 3.2.14 end closure part or crimp which is designed to sea
40、l 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 its mechanical strength, this container may intentionally (by design)
41、 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 emission of an intense and short flash light, or used as a bursting ch
42、arge or lifting charge 3.2.19 friction head ignition head designed to be ignited by friction Note 1 to entry: See “Ignition head“. DIN EN 16261-1:2013-02 EN 16261-1:2012 (E) 7 3.2.20 fuse small tube or cord containing a pressed or compacted pyrotechnic composition which burns gradually to ignite a p
43、yrotechnic 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 mass total mass of the firework (not including any ancillary equipme
44、nt (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 pyrotechnic composition only 3.2.24 initial fuse component of a firework wh
45、ich is ignited in order to start the firework functioning 3.2.25 initial fuse time burning time of the initial fuse 3.2.26 lifting charge non-consolidated pyrotechnic composition used to project the firework as a whole or a sub component of the firework into the air (e.g. in mine or shell) 3.2.27 ma
46、jor nonconforming unit nonconforming unit with one or more major nonconformities, with or without minor nonconformities, but with no critical nonconformities 3.2.28 major nonconformity nonconformity, other than a critical nonconformity, which is likely to result in failure, to reduce materially the
47、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 nonconformities, but with no critical or major nonconformities DI
48、N EN 16261-1:2013-02 EN 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 ISO 2859-1. 3.2.31 mortar tube which is closed at the lower
49、end and from which a firework is projected 3.2.32 Net Explosive Content NEC mass of pyrotechnic composition in the firework, excluding the pyrotechnic composition of the initial fuses and any transmitting fuses Note 1 to entry: Net explosive 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 nonconformi
