European foreword
This document (prEN 16263-3:2021) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 212
“Pyrotechnic articles”, the secretariat of which is held by NEN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 16263-3:2015.
In comparison with the previous edition, the following technical modifications have been made:

accordingly;
— references to Directive 93/15/EEC are replaced by references to 2014/28/EU;
— Annex ZB has been deleted. Annex ZA has been adjusted accordingly;
— the term “pyrotechnic liquid disperser” has been changed to "pyrotechnic actuated disperser" and
the definition has been technically revised;
— clause 6.2.3.7 has been technically revised;
— clause 6.2.3.10 on projected or propelled objects as principal effect has been added;
— the requirements for projected debris and fragments for several generic types have been
technically revised (Table 1);
— Annex D has been deleted.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
