Pyrotechnische Gegenstände - Feuerwerkskörper, Kategorie 4 - Teil 3: Prüfverfahren This European Standard was approved by CEN on 20 July 2012.
CEN members are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this European Standard the status of a national standard without any alteration. Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national standards may be obtained on application to the CEN-CENELEC Management Centre or to any CEN member.
This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other language made by translation under the responsibility of a CEN member into its own language and notified to the CEN-CENELEC Management Centre has the same status as the official versions.
CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and United Kingdom.

±= 2,5) °C. 5.8 Sound level meter. Sound level meter of class 1 conform to EN 61672-1 with a free-field microphone. 5.9 Shock apparatus. The apparatus shall provide a deceleration of 490 m/s2 (-50/+100) m/s2 (when measured at the centre of an unloaded platform) and the shock impulse duration (time elapsed from the starting of the machine's deceleration to the time in which the deceleration reaches its maximum value during each first shock pulse) shall be 2 ms ± 1 ms working at a frequency of 1 Hz ± 0,1 Hz. An example of an apparatus is shown in Annex A. 5.10 Devices for measuring heights. Heights shall be measured using universal surveying instruments (USI) such as theodolites, electronic spirit levels or video (visible and/or infrared) systems. Examples of measuring methods and the calculation of the height are given in Annex B. 5.11 Goniometer. Goniometer reading to 1° or better. 5.12 Mortar. The rising height of shells depends particularly on the clearance of the shell in the mortar (ratio of the maximum cross section area of the shell (AShell) to the inner cross section area of the mortar (Amortar)), also designated as "Q". Q is the ratio of the outer diameter of the shell (do,shell, including the fuse to the lifting charge) squared over the inner diameter of the mortar (di,mortar) squared. The outer diameter of the shell shall be measured horizontally at the place of largest diameter including the fuse to the lifting charge. The following conditions shall be achieved: 98,09,0mortari,2shello,2mortarshell≤==≤ddAAQ SIST EN 16261-3:2013

The dimensions of the mortar may also be determined from Figures 1, 2 and 3.
