Overview
ISO 14451-10:2013 is an international standard that sets forth the requirements and categorization for semi-finished pyrotechnic products used in vehicles. It specifically outlines the types and sequencing of tests required for these products, along with acceptance criteria to ensure safety and quality. This standard applies exclusively to type tests of semi-finished pyrotechnic articles and excludes items containing military explosives or commercial blasting agents, with the exception of black powder or flash composition.
Developed collaboratively by ISO and CEN technical committees focused on pyrotechnic articles and vehicle safety systems, ISO 14451-10:2013 plays a critical role in standardizing the assessment and classification of pyrotechnic semi-finished products, facilitating safety in automotive passive safety technologies.
Key Topics
Scope
Defines the focus on semi-finished pyrotechnic products for vehicles and the exclusion of military-grade explosives.Testing Requirements
Details the types and order of tests necessary for product verification and acceptance, consistent with ISO 14451-2 (Test methods).Design and Documentation Verification
Emphasizes completeness of technical documentation as required by ISO 14451-2 and permits consideration of existing test data from related higher or lower-level pyrotechnic articles for conformity assessment.Categorization of Products
Establishes two main categories for semi-finished products based on hazard potential:- Category P1: Low hazard semi-finished products
- Category P2: Products requiring handling by specialists due to higher hazard potential
Acceptance Criteria
Sets criteria for classification, primarily based on documentation review to determine hazard classification.
Applications
ISO 14451-10:2013 is essential for manufacturers, testing laboratories, and automotive safety engineers involved in the production and quality verification of pyrotechnic semi-finished products such as gas generators or igniters destined for vehicle safety systems. Its guidelines help:
- Ensure compliance with strict safety requirements
- Facilitate systematic hazard assessment and categorization
- Provide a benchmark for type testing and technical documentation standards
- Support product development in passive safety crash protection systems
- Enhance traceability and quality control within automotive pyrotechnic component supply chains
By applying ISO 14451-10, stakeholders can reliably validate the safety level of pyrotechnic materials in vehicles, contributing to improved occupant protection and regulatory compliance.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

Avant-propos
L’ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une fédération mondiale d’organismes
nationaux de normalisation (comités membres de l’ISO). L’élaboration des Normes internationales est
en général confiée aux comités techniques de l’ISO. Chaque comité membre intéressé par une étude
a le droit de faire partie du comité technique créé à cet effet. Les organisations internationales,
gouvernementales et non gouvernementales, en liaison avec l’ISO participent également aux travaux.
L’ISO collabore étroitement avec la Commission électrotechnique internationale (CEI) en ce qui concerne
la normalisation électrotechnique.
Les Normes internationales sont rédigées conformément aux règles données dans les Directives
ISO/CEI, Partie 2.
La tâche principale des comités techniques est d’élaborer les Normes internationales. Les projets de
Normes internationales adoptés par les comités techniques sont soumis aux comités membres pour vote.
Leur publication comme Normes internationales requiert l’approbation de 75 % au moins des comités
membres votants.
