This European Standard was approved by CEN on 29 September 2025.

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.

European foreword
This document (EN 13763-13:2025) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 321 “Explosives
for civil uses”, the secretariat of which is held by UNE.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by April 2026, and conflicting national standards shall be
withdrawn at the latest by April 2026.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes EN 13763-13:2004.
EN 13763-13:2004:
a) the document title has been changed from “Detonators and relays — Part 13: Determination of
resistance of electric detonators to electrostatic discharge” to “Detonators and detonating cord relays
— Part 13: Verification of the resistance to electrostatic discharge (ESD) of electric and electronic
detonators”;
b) the Scope has been revised to include electronic detonators and to clarify the covered and not
covered explosives;
c) the normative references have been updated;
d) the terminology entries 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 have been removed;
e) Clause 4 “Principle” has been added;
f) the clause “Apparatus” has been revised and enlarged and now also includes the apparatus for testing
electronic detonators;
g) the clause “Test pieces” is now called “Preparation of test sample” and has been revised and now also
includes electronic detonators;
h) the clause “Procedure” has been revised and further detailed and now also includes the procedure
for testing electronic detonators;
i) in Table 1 “ESD impulse values for testing electric detonators”, tolerance values have been
introduced;
j) Clause 8 “Expression of results” has been added;
k) the clause “Test report” does no longer require conformity with EN ISO/IEC 17025 and the
information to be provided has been revised;
l) Annex A “Range of applicability of the test method” has been removed;
m) former Annex B is now Annex A “Adjustment of the electrostatic discharge generator for testing
electric detonators” and has been revised;
n) a new Annex B “Function test for electronic detonators” has been added;
o) Annex ZA has been updated;
p) the Bibliography has been added and lists EN ISO/IEC 17025:2017.
This document has been prepared under a standardization request addressed to CEN by the European
Commission. The Standing Committee of the EFTA States subsequently approves these requests for its
Member States.
