This standard specifies requirements for the construction, performance, primary packaging and labelling of jumping ground spinners and the corresponding test methods. It is applicable to fireworks which are classified as jumping ground spinners of category 2 in EN 14035-2. It is not applicable to jumping ground spinners containing any report charge. It is not applicable to jumping ground spinners containing pyrotechnic composition that includes any of the following substances: - arsenic or arsenic compounds; - mixtures containing a mass fraction of chlorates greater than 80 percent; - 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 percent; - sulfur with an acidity, expressed as mass fraction of sulfuric acid, greater than 0,002 percent; - zirconium with a particle size of less than 40 mm. NOTE In EN 14035-2, jumping ground spinners are classified as follows: - brief description: non-metallic tubes containing gas- and sparks-producing pyrotechnic composition, with or without an aural pyrotechnic composition; - principal effects: rotation on the ground frequently interrupted by a jumping motion and emission of sparks and flames with or without whistling effect. Schemes for type testing of jumping ground spinners and batch testing of jumping ground spinners are specified in Annex A and Annex B respectively.
