Over the last couple of years a lot of effort was put into the development of internationally recognized standards for fireworks. The work is globally organized within the ISO/TC 264 “Fireworks”. This technical committee consists of five working groups (WGs), set up for the development of criteria for safety requirements, test methods and labelling of fireworks articles:
WG1: Terminology
WG2: Safety requirements and labelling
WG3: Categories and types
WG4: Test methods
WG5: Fireworks display
The Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) was from the beginning part of the entire standardization activities and participated actively with experts in all WGs, project leadership and provided the chairman for the ISO/TC 264-WG2 “Safety requirements and labelling”. This paper aims at giving an overview about the meetings, the philosophy behind the chosen standardization approaches and selected information on safety requirements, test methods and labelling aspects.
In the future new types of lift charges for display Shells will enter the market. These types may not be based on black powder and therefore will show different Performance behaviors. The European standard series EN 16261 deals with the testing and assessment of display fireworks in order to satisfy the essential safety requirements which have to be met before placing these items on the EU market.
The aim of the study is to investigate how certain types of lift charges (NC based) influence the lift, tumbling and drift of cylindrical shells. In consequence, if the performance characteristics deviate strongly from those of typical black powder, safety related regulations in the EU and Germany might be affected, as well.
