Other pyrotechnic articles, category P1 and P2
Standardization of fireworks category 4, particularly from the point of view of their safe use.
General Information
This European Standard defines the terms and specifies the requirements, means of categorisation, test methods, minimum labelling requirements and instructions for use, for ignition devices (except ignition devices for pyrotechnic articles for vehicles) of the following generic types:
- igniters;
- components for pyrotechnic trains;
- pyrotechnic Cords and fuses;
- delay fuses;
- fuzes.
NOTE Safety fuses are subject to Directive 93/15/EEC and therefore not considered in this European Standard.
This European Standard does not apply for articles containing pyrotechnic compositions that include any of the following substances:
- arsenic or arsenic compounds;
- polychlorobenzenes;
- mercury compounds;
- white phosphorus;
- picrates or picric acid.
This European Standard does not apply to pyrotechnic articles containing blasting agents and military explosives except black powder and flash composition.

This European Standard specifies requirements for the construction and performances of other pyrotechnic articles, except pyrotechnic articles for vehicles, ignition devices and cartridges for powder actuated tools (PAT), of the following generic types:
- flares;
- flash devices;
- gas generators;
- heaters;
- other cartridges;
- pyromechanical devices;
- rockets and rocket motors;
- semi-finished pyrotechnic articles;
- smoke / aerosol generators;
- sound emitters;
- pyrotechnic liquid dispersers.
This European Standard does not apply for articles containing pyrotechnic compositions that include any of the following substances:
- arsenic or arsenic compounds;
- polychlorobenzenes;
- mercury compounds;
- lead compounds (except for those included in ignition devices);
- white phosphorus;
- picrates or picric acid.
This European Standard does not apply to pyrotechnic articles that contain detonative explosives other than black powder and/or flash composition, if these detonative explosives:
- can be easily extracted from the pyrotechnic article, or;
- can initiate secondary explosives, or;
- can function in a detonative manner although the article is not designed to detonate and the article belongs to the category P2.

This European Standard defines the procedures for classifying, testing and labelling of cartridges for powder actuated tools (PAT cartridges), as defined in Clause 3 of this standard.
This European Standard does not apply to pyrotechnic articles containing blasting agents and military explosives except black powder and flash composition.
PAT cartridges contain pyrotechnic composition(s) delivering mainly gases, intended to propel a piston. The piston propels fasteners (e.g. nails) or drives hard marking characters into appropriate materials.
This standard also applies to PAT cartridges sold to persons younger than 18 years, if this is permitted by the member state due to the low hazard of the PAT cartridges.
NOTE PAT cartridges can also be used for hard marking tools. Information on cartridge operated fixing and hard marking tools can be found in EN 15895:2011.
This European Standard applies to the cartridges listed in Table 1.

This Technical Report gives an overview of harmonized standards which will be proposed to be developed by CEN/TC 212 WG 5, “Other Pyrotechnic Articles”. Under this expression, it must be understood, are all pyrotechnic articles which are not designed and intended for entertainment purposes (“fireworks”), for indoor or outdoor stage use, including film and television productions or similar use (“theatrical pyrotechnic articles”), and for automotive industry (“pyrotechnic articles for vehicles”).
It also gives the interpretation WG5 experts have made of some terms, definitions and requirements of Directive 2007/23/EC in order to assure future harmonized standards will encompass all varieties of “other pyrotechnic articles”, which are presently placed on the European market, in a consistent way and take the benefit of all the practical experience and usages of those articles in the Member States.
