This European Standard specifies a method for determining the initiating capability of flexible plastic-coated detonating cords and flexible fibrous-overbraided detonating cords, for civil use. It applies only to those detonating cords, having a maximum grammage of 40 g/m, that are used to initiate another detonating cord or a high explosive.
NOTE The limitations of this method are described in Annex B.
