This document defines various terms relating to the design, construction, performance, labelling and testing of category F4 fireworks.

This document specifies requirements for the construction, performance and protective packaging of Category F4 fireworks, as listed in EN 16261-1:—1.
This document does not apply for articles containing pyrotechnic compositions that include any of the following substances:
— arsenic or arsenic compounds;
— polychlorobenzenes;
— lead or lead compounds;
— mercury compounds;
— white phosphorus;
— picrates or picric acid.
In addition, any European regulation regarding forbidden substances is intended to be taken into account.

This document specifies test methods for fireworks of category F4.

This document specifies the minimum labelling requirements and the mandatory instructions for use for category F4 fireworks.

This document defines the terms and specifies the requirements, means of categorization, 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 2014/28/EU and therefore not considered in this document.
This document 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.

The aim of this document is to provide a procedure of quantification of mercury traces in cosmetic products that consumers might be exposed to in their usage. This method describes the determination of mercury traces in cosmetics by direct solid analysis with no need of external digestion. Total mercury (both inorganic and organic species) can be quantified either in solid or liquid samples.
This standard has been developed in parallel with another method of determination of traces of mercury in cosmetics: ISO 23821 Cosmetics – Analytical methods – Determination of traces of mercury in cosmetics by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) cold vapour technology after pressure digestion [1]. Knowing this, an interlaboratory test using either one or the other method was performed on same tailor-made cosmetic products in order to establish that both methods fulfilled the same requirements (see Annex B).

This document 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 document 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 document defines the procedure for categorization of other pyrotechnic articles except pyrotechnic articles for vehicles, ignition devices and cartridges for powder actuated tools (PAT).

This document specifies test methods for other pyrotechnic articles (except pyrotechnic articles for vehicles, cartridges for powder actuated tools and ignition devices).

This document specifies the minimum labelling requirements and the mandatory instructions for use for other pyrotechnic articles (except pyrotechnic articles for vehicles, cartridges for powder actuated tools and ignition devices).

This document applies to an articulated extraction arm used as a local exhaust device in laboratories and comprised of a specific capture device (receiving, enclosing or capture hood, nozzle or flat screen) connected to a specific extraction arm which is articulated ducting to move air from the capture device to discharge.
This document specifies:
• a method for type testing;
• a method to assess the three-dimensional capture zone of local exhaust devices mounted on an articulated extract arm;
• a method for assessing the isothermal and low energy emission release capture efficiency of local exhaust devices connected to an articulated extract arm and its robustness to a challenge of air disturbance directly in front of and in close proximity to the capture hood and release source positioned on a table;
• a method for establishing the reachable, three-dimensional workspace of local exhaust devices mounted on an articulated extract arm by measuring the possible positions of the opening of the device;
• a method for measuring the pressure drop and noise level in the type test and at onsite commissioning;
• instructions for marking the device and recommended information to transfer to users in the product manual;
• guidance for use describing the limitations of local exhaust devices with articulated extract arm for different airflow rates establishing the capture zone;
• guidance on selection, installation, commissioning, and testing of articulated extract arms and their local exhaust ventilation systems.
The standard covers only product performance test methods. Occupational health and safety assessments methods are not included in this standard.
Point sources with initial velocity due to temperature, pressure release, work process or similar are not covered by this standard.
The scope does not include filtration requirements and impact of fully or partly recirculated airflow extracted by an articulated extract arm.

This document specifies information to be provided by a manufacturer of explosives for civil uses, or his authorized representative, to the notified body and the user.
