29、2013-03 EN 16261-2:2013 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies requirements for the construction, performance and protective packaging of Category 4 fireworks, as listed in EN 16261-1. This European Standard does not apply for articles containing pyrotechnic compositions that include any of
30、the following substances: arsenic or arsenic compounds; polychlorobenzenes; lead or lead compounds; mercury compounds; white phosphorus; picrates or picric acid. This European Standard does not apply for articles containing military explosives or commercial blasting agents except for black powder or
31、 flash composition. In addition, any European regulation regarding forbidden substances should be taken into account. 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
32、 the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

34、r the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 16261-1:2012 apply. DIN EN 16261-2:2013-03 EN 16261-2:2013 (E) 6 4 Pyrotechnic composition No limits are given for the net explosive content (NEC)1)of Category 4 articles in this standard. 5 Construction (type test and batch test
35、) When tested in accordance with 6.1 and 6.2 of EN 16261-3:2012, the article dimensions and gross mass shall be in accordance with the manufacturers declaration (including tolerances). The orientation of mortars shall be verified by inspection according to 6.3 of EN 16261-3:2012, during type test. W
36、hen the orientation of mortars in combinations is not visible, the maximum firing angle shall be displayed on the label and verified by visual inspection according to 6.7 of EN 16261-3:2012. 6 Means of ignition 6.1 Identification (type test and batch test) The means of ignition shall be clearly visi
37、ble or shall be indicated by labelling or instructions where applicable. Conformity to this requirement shall be verified by visual examination according to 6.7 of EN 16261-3:2012. 6.2 Protection (type test and batch test) Where appropriate, the means of ignition shall be protected to avoid accident
38、al ignition of the fireworks. Conformity to this requirement shall be verified by visual examination according to 6.7 of EN 16261-3:2012. 7 Performance 7.1 Properties to be checked before functioning tests 7.1.1 Loose pyrotechnic composition after mechanical conditioning (type test) When tested in a
39、ccordance with 6.8 of EN 16261-3:2012, the loose pyrotechnic composition found outside the article after mechanical conditioning shall be weighed. The mass of the whole loose material shall comply with manufacturers specifications (if any) and the mass of loose pyrotechnic composition shall not exce
40、ed 3 % of the NEC and not more than 1 g for each item tested. If the pyrotechnic composition cannot be separated from the loose material, the same limits shall apply to the whole loose material. 1) The NEC has an influence (directly or indirectly) on the safety distances. For Category 4 fireworks, i
41、t is agreed that no fixed minimum safety distances are defined, contrary to Category 1, 2 and 3 fireworks. The safe use of Category 4 fireworks is one of the major responsibilities of the person with specialist knowledge who should determine the minimum safety distance by using the information given
42、 in prEN 16261-4:2011, Clause 4. DIN EN 16261-2:2013-03 EN 16261-2:2013 (E) 7 7.1.2 Integrity (type test and batch test) 7.1.2.1 General requirements There shall be no holes, splits, dents or bulges either in the body of the firework case or in the end closures, except those technically necessary fo
43、r the correct functioning of the firework. If the end closures are separate components, they shall be in place. There shall be no pyrotechnic leakage of the article to be tested when it is received for testing. Conformity to these requirements shall be verified by visual examination according to 6.7
44、 of EN 16261-3:2012. 7.1.2.2 Specific requirements For combinations: each individual element shall be securely attached to the other elements or to the framework. Attachment by the transmitting fuse(s) alone shall be allowed if it is sufficient to keep the elements joined together during normal hand
45、ling. Conformity to above requirements shall be checked by visual examination according to 6.7 of EN 16261-3:2012. 7.2 Properties to be checked during functioning tests 7.2.1 Principal effects (type test and batch test) When tested in accordance with 6.10 of EN 16261-3:2012, the principal effects of
46、 each firework shall conform to those specified by the manufacturer or importer as described in EN 16261-1. 7.2.2 Functioning (type test and batch test) For type test only, functioning test in accordance with 6.10 of EN 16261-3:2012, shall be performed in as received conditions and, after mechanical
47、 and thermal conditions in accordance with 6.8 and 6.9 of EN 16261-3:2012. For type test and batch test, when tested in accordance with 6.10 of EN 16261-3:2012, the article shall function as intended and shall not function in an erratic and unforeseeable manner. 7.2.3 Stability during functioning (t
48、ype test and batch test) When used according to the instructions for use, the article shall remain in its initial position and maintain its integrity whilst functioning, if applicable. Conformity to these requirements shall be checked by the method described in 6.10 of EN 16261-3:2012. 7.2.4 Performance parameters (type test and batch test) The mandatory parameters listed in Annex A shall be measured and recorded according to 6.4, 6.5, 6.10.3 and 6.10.4 of EN 16261-3:
