This European Standard specifies requirements for the construction, performance, primary packaging and labelling of party poppers and the corresponding test methods. It is applicable to fireworks which are classified as party poppers in category 1 of EN 14035-2 and which are contained in a primary pack.It is applicable to party poppers which contain up to 10 mg of pyrotechnic composition that is based on potassium chlorate and red phosphorous.It is not applicable to party poppers 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 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 in mass fraction of sulphuric acid, greater than 0,002 percent;zirconium with a particle size of less than 40 mm.NOTEIn EN 14035-2, party poppers are classified as follows:- brief description: device operated by a pull-string with an abrasive surface in sliding contact with a friction-sensitive pyrotechnic composition and designed to be held in the hand;- principal effects: report, with ejection of streamers and/or confetti.Schemes for type testing of party poppers and batch testing of party poppers are specified in annex A and annex B respectively.
