European foreword
This document (EN 13631-3:2025) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 321 “Explosives
for civil uses”, the secretariat of which is held by UNE.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by April 2026, and conflicting national standards shall be
withdrawn at the latest by April 2026.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of

This document supersedes EN 13631-3:2004.
EN 13631-3:2004:
a) the document title has been changed from “Explosives for civil uses — High explosives — Part 3:
Determination of sensitiveness to friction of explosives” to “Explosives for civil uses — Explosives
for blasting, boosters and explosive substances — Part 3: Verification of the insensitiveness to
friction of explosives for blasting and explosive substances”;
b) the general concept of the document has been modified so that the sensitiveness to friction is no
longer determined but the insensitiveness to a specific friction load is verified;
c) the Scope has been revised to clarify the covered and not covered explosives;
d) the normative references have been updated;
e) the terminology entries 3.1 and 3.2 have been removed;
f) the Clause 4 “Principle” has been updated;
g) the Clause “Apparatus” has been updated and Table 1 “Possible loads for the loading device”
removed;
h) the preparation of the test sample has been simplified;
i) the Clause “Procedure” has been updated;
j) the Clause 8 “Expression of test results” has been added;
k) the Clause “Test report” does no longer require conformity with EN ISO/IEC 17025 and the
information to be provided has been updated;
l) the former Annex A “Range of applicability of the test method” has been removed;
m) the Annex ZA has been updated;
n) the Bibliography has been added and lists, e.g. EN ISO/IEC 17025:2017.
This document has been prepared under a standardization request addressed to CEN by the European
Commission. The Standing Committee of the EFTA States subsequently approves these requests for its
Member States.
