This document specifies requirements for the construction, performance, primary packaging and labelling of novelty matches and the corresponding test methods. It is applicable to fireworks which are classified as novelty match in category 1 in EN 14035-2 and which are contained in a primary pack.It is applicable to novelty matches which contain pyrotechnic report composition that is silver fulminate only.It is not applicable to novelty matches 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 in mass fraction of sulphuric acid, greater than 0,002 %;-zirconium with a particle size of less than 40 mm.NOTEIn EN 14035-2, novelty matches are classified as follows:- brief description: match with a dot of pyrotechnic composition, designed to be held in the hand;- principal effects: report and/or visual effect.Schemes for type testing of novelty matches and batch testing of novelty matches are specified in annex A and annex B respectively.
