scope:

This European Standard specifies requirements for the construction, performance, primary packaging and labelling of flash bangers and flash banger batteries and the corresponding test methods. It is applicable to fireworks which are classified as flash bangers and flash banger batteries in categories 1, 2 and 3 in EN 14035-2 and which contain pyrotechnic report composition that is nitrate/metal-based or perchlorate/metal-based. It is not applicable to fireworks containing pyrotechnic composition that includes any of the following substances: - arsenic or arsenic compounds; - mixtures containing a mass fraction of chlorates greater than 80 %; - mixtures of chlorates with metals; - mixtures of chlorates with red phosphorus; - mixtures of chlorates with potassium hexacyanoferrate(II); - mixtures of chlorates with sulfur; - mixtures of chlorates with sulfides; - lead or lead compounds; - mercury compounds; - white phosphorus; - picrates or picric acid; - potassium chlorate with a mass fraction of bromates greater than 0,15 %; - sulfur with an acidity, expressed in mass fraction of sulphuric acid, greater than 0,002 %; - zirconium with a particle size of less than 40 mm. Schemes for type testing of flash bangers and flash banger batteries and batch testing of flash bangers and flash banger batteries are specified in annex A and annex B respectively.and labelling of non-hand-held sparklers and the corresponding test methods. It is applicable to fireworks which are classified as non-hand-held sparklers in categories 1 and 2 in EN 14035-2 and which are contained in a primary pack. It is not applicable to non-hand-held sparklers containing pyrotechnic composition that includes any of the following substances:-arsenic or arsenic compounds;;mixtures containing a mass fraction of chlorates greater than 80 %;-mixtures of chlorates with metals;-mixtures of chlorates with red phosphorus;-mixtures of chlorates with potassium hexacyanoferrate(II);-mixtures of chlorates with sulfur;-mixtures of chlorates with sulfides;-lead or lead compounds;-mercury compounds;;white phosphorus;-picrates odr picric acid;-potassium chlorate with a mass fraction of bromates greater than 0,15 %;-sulfur with an acidity, expressed in mass fraction of sulphuric acid, greater than 0,002 %;-zircon ium with a particle size of less than 40 mm. Schemes for type testing of non-hand-held sparklers and batch testing of non-hand-held sparklers are specified in annex A and annex B respectively.
