This document specifies requirements for the construction, performance, primary packaging and labelling of throwdowns and the corresponding test methods. It is applicable to fireworks which are classified as throwdowns in category 1 in EN 14035-2 which contain pyrotechnic report composition that is silver fulminate and which are contained in a primary pack.It is not applicable to throwdowns containing pyrotechnic composition that 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 as mass fraction of sulfuric acid, greater than 0,002 %;-zirconium with a particle size of less than 40 mm.NOTEIn EN 14035-2, throwdowns are classified as follows:- brief description: impact-sensitive pyrotechnic composition and grains of inert material wrapped in tissue paper or foil;- principal effect: report, when thrown down onto the ground.Schemes for type testing of throwdowns and batch testing of throwdowns are specified in annex A and annex B respectively.
