M/010 - Explosives - civil use (prog.)
Programmation mandate to CEN for explosives for civil uses
Mandate M/010 is a programming mandate issued by the European Commission to CEN concerning the standardisation of explosives for civil uses. It aims to develop and harmonize standards related to safety, performance, testing, and classification of civilian explosives. This mandate supports regulatory frameworks and industry practices by ensuring uniform technical specifications across the EU, enhancing safety and facilitating the internal market for civil explosives products and related services.
Purpose
The mandate M/010 concerns the programming and coordination of standardisation activities related to explosives intended for civil use. It aims to establish a structured framework for the development of European standards to ensure safety, quality, and regulatory compliance in the handling and use of explosives in civilian contexts.
Standardisation request
This mandate requests CEN (European Committee for Standardisation) to develop and update standards covering explosives used in civil applications. The focus is on creating harmonised technical specifications that address the particularities and safety requirements associated with civil explosive materials.
Expected deliverables
The expected deliverables include a series of European standards or revisions thereof that provide clear and authoritative guidelines on the classification, testing, handling, storage, transport, and usage of explosives for civil purposes. These standards should support regulatory frameworks and facilitate market integration by ensuring consistent safety practices across member states.
Context
Explosives for civil use encompass materials utilized in industries such as construction, mining, and quarrying. The standardisation work under this mandate supports the safe application of these materials, helping to reduce risks to workers, the public, and the environment. It also aligns with EU priorities on industrial safety and the harmonisation of technical regulations to enable the free movement of goods within the internal market.
The mandate covers the standardisation of explosives intended for civil use. This includes developing standards related to the safety, quality, and performance of explosives used in civilian applications such as construction, mining, and other industrial sectors.

Frequently Asked Questions
A European Standardization Mandate is a formal request from the European Commission to the European Standardization Organizations (CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI) to develop European standards (ENs) in support of EU legislation and policies. Mandates are issued under Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 and help ensure that products and services meet the essential requirements set out in EU directives and regulations.
M/010 is a European Standardization Mandate titled "Programmation mandate to CEN for explosives for civil uses". Programmation mandate to CEN for explosives for civil uses There are 0 standards developed under this mandate.
Standards developed in response to a mandate and cited in the Official Journal of the European Union become "harmonized standards". Products manufactured in compliance with harmonized standards benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the corresponding EU directive or regulation, facilitating CE marking and market access across the European Economic Area.
