European foreword
This document (prEN 13763-1:2021) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 321
“Explosives for civil uses”, the secretariat of which is held by UNE.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 13763-1:2004.
In comparison with the previous edition, the following technical modifications have been made:
a) Clause 1 Scope, these products have been specified: electric detonators, non-electric detonators,
plain detonators, electronic detonators, electronic initiation systems, leading wires and coupling
accessories. The scope also includes the classification for electric detonators;
b) Clause 2 Normative references, was updated;
c) Clause 4 Requirements, each subclause contain subclauses for each product. Requirements are given
for each product in the scope including the different types of detonators;
d) Clause 4.1 Requirement general, has been added. It contains a table showing what tests are required
for each product specified in the scope;
e) Clause 4.2 Thermal stability, 4.2.1 Electric detonators, non-electric detonators, electronic detonators,
plain detonators, surface connectors and detonating cord relays, the requirement has been changed
from “no detonation” to “no explosion or evidence of reaction, visible or audible”; “Evidence of
reaction” is defined in prEN 13857-1:2021;
f) Clause 4.2 Thermal stability, 4.2.2 Shock tubes, the requirement has been changed from “no visible
evidence of reaction” to “no initiation or evidence of reaction, visible or audible”; “Evidence of
reaction” is defined in prEN 13857-1:2021;
g) Clause 4.4 Resistance to abrasion, the requirement contains a clarification of the relationship with
the categories in Table 2;
h) Clause 4.7 Mechanical strength, the requirements have been listed for these two subclauses 4.7.1
Electric detonators and electronic detonators with leading wires and 4.7.2 Non-electric detonators
and electronic detonators with shock tube;
i) Clause 4.8 Resistance to vibration, the following requirement has been added: “during the vibration
test no plain detonators or semi-finished detonators shall explode”;
j) Clause 4.9 Resistance to bending, the requirement includes electronic detonators and has been
changed from “no detonator shall initiate” to “no detonator shall explode”. The following
requirement has been added: “in the functional test all detonators shall detonate”;
k) Clause 4.10 Resistance to damage by dropping, the requirement has changed from “detonate” to
explode” and from “fire to “detonate”;
l) Clause 4.11 Resistance to hydrostatic pressure, requirements for electronic detonators have been
added;
m) Clause 4.13 Equivalent initiating capability, the requirements for mean shock energy has been
replaced with requirements for mean peak pressure and requirement for mean pressure per time;
prEN 13763-1:2021 (E)
n) Clause 4.14 Delay accuracy, the requirement has changed from “all detonators shall fire” to “all
detonators shall detonate”;
o) Clause 4.19 Flash over voltage, the requirement has changed from “no detonator shall be initiated”
to “no detonator shall explode”;
p) Clause 4.23 Transfer capability, the receptors have been divided into two types, shock tubes and
detonating cord relays;
