This European Standard was approved by CEN on 15 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.

CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia,
Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway,

European foreword
This document (EN 13630-1:2025) 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withdrawn at the latest by April 2026.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 13630-1:2003. Together with EN 13631-1:2025, EN 13763-1:2025 and
EN 13938-1:2025, this document supersedes EN 13857-3:2002.
— the Scope has been updated;
— the normative references have been updated;
— Clause 4 “Requirements for detonating cords” has been revised:
— the requirements on information to be provided for detonating cords have been added as new
4.1 – these requirements have been moved here from EN 13857-3:2002 in revised form;
— the requirements on properties of detonating cords, former 4.1 to 4.10 have been completely
revised and are now given in 4.2;
— Clause 5 “Requirements for safety fuses” has been revised:
— the requirements on information to be provided for safety fuses have been added as new 5.1 –
these requirements have been moved here from EN 13857-3:2002 in revised form;
— the requirements on properties of safety fuses, former 5.1 to 5.3 have been completely revised
and are now given in 5.2;
— Annex ZA has been updated;
— the Bibliography has been added.
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.
