This European
11、Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by March 2015 and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by March 2015. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of t
12、his document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential re
13、quirements of EU Directive 2007/23/EC on the placing on the market of pyrotechnical articles. For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document. The “Permanent International Commission for the Proof of Small-Arms, C.I.P.” has contributed subs
14、tantially to this standard. The C.I.P. regulations pertinent to cartridges for powder actuated tools have been largely integrated in the present standard and the current states of technology are matched. According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the f

EN 16264:2014 (E)BS EN 16264:20141 Scope This European Standard defines the procedures for classifying, testing and labelling of cartridges for powder actuated tools (PAT cartridges),
17、 as defined in Clause 3 of this standard. This European Standard does not apply to pyrotechnic articles containing blasting agents and military explosives except black powder and flash composition. PAT cartridges contain pyrotechnic composition(s) delivering mainly gases, intended to propel a piston
18、. The piston propels fasteners (e.g. nails) or drives hard marking characters into appropriate materials. This standard also applies to PAT cartridges sold to persons younger than 18 years, if this is permitted by the member state due to the low hazard of the PAT cartridges. NOTE PAT cartridges can
19、also be used for hard marking tools. Information on cartridge operated fixing and hard marking tools can be found in EN 15895:2011. This European Standard applies to the cartridges listed in Table 1. Table 1 Lists of the established calibres for PAT cartridges Calibre Rimfire type 22 NC (5,5/16) 22
