Annex C (informative) A-Deviations

This European Standard specifies requirements for the construction, performance, packaging and labelling of spinners and the corresponding test methods. It is applicable to fireworks which are classified as spinners of category 1 and category 2 in EN 14035-2 and which are contained in a primary pack.It is not applicable to spinners containing report composition.It is not applicable to spinners containing pyrotechnic composition that includes any of the following substances:-arsenic or arsenic compounds;-mixtures containing a mass fraction of chlorates greater than 80 percent;-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 percent;-sulfur with an acidity, expressed as mass fraction of sulfuric acid, greater than 0,002 percent;-zirconium with a particle size of less than 40 mm.NOTEIn EN 14035-2, spinners are classified as follows:- Brief description: tube or tubes containing pyrotechnic composition, and with aerofoils attached;- Principal effects: rotation and ascent, with emission of sparks and/or flames, with or without aural effect.Schemes for type testing of spinners and batch testing of spinners are specified in Annex A and Annex B respectively.
