European foreword
This document (prEN 13630-4:2021) 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 13630-4:2002.
In comparison with the previous edition, the following technical modifications have been made:
a) the normative references have been updated;
b) Clause 4, Principle, has been added;
c) Annex A, Range of applicability of the test method, has been removed and the content has been revised
and moved to Clause 1, Scope;
d) Annex C, Illustrations of the BAM fall-hammer, has been removed and the content has been moved to
5.2, Drop hammer, and 5.3, Drop weight;
e) Annex ZA has been updated.
This document has been prepared under a Standardization Request (M/562) annexed to the Commission
Implementing Decision C(2019)6634 final as regards Explosives for civil uses given to CEN by the
European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports Essential Safety
requirements of Directive 2014/28/EU.
For relationship with Directive 2014/28/EU, see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this
document.
EN 13630, Explosives for civil uses — Detonating cords and safety fuses, is currently composed of the
following parts:
— Part 1: Requirements
— Part 2: Determination of thermal stability of detonating cords and safety fuses
— Part 3: Determination of sensitiveness to friction of the core of detonating cords
— Part 4: Determination of sensitiveness to impact of detonating cords
— Part 5: Determination of resistance to abrasion of detonating cords
— Part 6: Measurement of resistance to tension of detonating cords
— Part 7: Determination of reliability of initiation of detonating cords
— Part 8: Determination of resistance to water of detonating cords and safety fuses
— Part 9: Determination of transmission of detonation from detonating cord to detonating cord
— Part 10: Determination of initiating capability of detonating cords

1 Scope
This document specifies a method to assess a sensitiveness to a mechanical impact of detonating cords
and safety fuses.
Applicability of the test method is ambient laboratory conditions. Testing at a specific temperature
outside ambient can require special arrangements to condition test sample and/or equipment.
