This document specifies requirements for the construction, performance, primary packaging and labelling of mines and the corresponding test methods. It is applicable to fireworks which are classified as mines in categories 2 and 3 in EN 14035-2.It is not applicable to mines containing pyrotechnic composition which includes any of the following substances:-arsenic or arsenic compounds;-mixtures containing a mass fraction of chlorates greater than 80 %;-mixtures of chlorates with metals;-mixtures of chlorates with red phosphorus;-mixtures of chlorates with potassium hexacyanoferrate(II);-mixtures of chlorates with sulfur;-mixtures of chlorates with sulfides;-lead or lead compounds;-mercury compounds;-white phosphorus;-picrates or picric acid;-potassium chlorate with a mass fraction of bromates greater than 0,15 %;-sulfur with an acidity, expressed in mass fraction of sulphuric acid, greater than 0,002 %;-zirconium with a particle size of less than 40 mm.NOTEIn EN 14035-2, mines are classified as follows:- brief description: mortar containing propellant charge and pyrotechnic units, and designed to be placed on the ground or to be fixed in the ground;- principal effects: ejection of all the pyrotechnic units in a single burst producing a widely dispersed visual and/or aural effect in the air.Schemes for type testing of mines and batch testing of mines are specified in annex A and annex B respectively.
