Overview
prEN ISO 14451-3: Pyrotechnic articles - Pyrotechnic articles for vehicles - Part 3: Labelling (ISO/DIS 14451-3:2026) sets out the labelling requirements for pyrotechnic articles intended for use in vehicles. Developed by CEN and ISO Technical Committee 22/SC 36, this draft international standard ensures that essential product information and safety instructions are communicated accurately on pyrotechnic devices such as airbag inflators, seatbelt pretensioners, and gas generators.
Conformity with prEN ISO 14451-3 is increasingly necessary for regulatory compliance and market access within the European Union in alignment with Directive 2013/29/EU.
Key Topics
Minimum Labelling Requirements:
The standard specifies the essential elements that must appear on pyrotechnic devices for vehicles or their packaging. These elements include:- Conformity mark and identification number of the conformity assessment body.
- Category and registration number allocated following product testing.
- Manufacturer or importer’s name, registered trade name/trademark, and postal address.
- Article name and type.
- Safety instructions, presented either as written text or pictograms in line with ISO graphical standards.
Labelling Small Articles and Semi-Finished Products:
Where space is insufficient for full labelling, a prioritization of information is established. At a minimum, the conformity mark and, when possible, the identification body’s number must be included. Additional elements like registration number, manufacturer name, type, and safety instructions are added in order of importance as space allows.Use of International Symbols:
The incorporation of standardized pictograms and safety signs (referenced in ISO 2575, ISO 3864, and ISO 7010) ensures universal comprehension of safety and usage instructions, enhancing user safety and supporting international market conformity.
Applications
prEN ISO 14451-3 is applicable to manufacturers, importers, and distributors of vehicle pyrotechnic articles who must ensure their products are adequately labelled for traceability, safety, and compliance. Its requirements are vital for:
Automotive Safety Component Producers:
Clear labelling of airbags, seatbelt pretensioners, micro gas generators, and related devices facilitates proper installation, maintenance, and end-user safety.Regulatory Compliance:
Meeting labelling requirements as outlined in the standard supports conformity with EU legislation (Directive 2013/29/EU) and helps avoid legal and market access issues.Cross-Border Trade:
Standardized labelling simplifies market entry across the EU and other regions adopting ISO standards, enhancing confidence among regulators, automotive manufacturers, and consumers.
Related Standards
To ensure comprehensive compliance and understanding, prEN ISO 14451-3 should be used alongside related standards, including:
- ISO/DIS 14451-1: Vocabulary for pyrotechnic articles in vehicles.
- ISO/DIS 14451-4 to 14451-10: Detailed requirements and categorization for specific pyrotechnic components (e.g., micro gas generators, airbag modules, seatbelt pretensioners, igniters, actuators, semi-finished products).
- ISO 2575, ISO 3864, ISO 7010: Standards for graphical symbols and safety signs relevant to labelling requirements.
Compliance with prEN ISO 14451-3 enables manufacturers and suppliers of vehicle pyrotechnic articles to achieve high standards of safety, traceability, and regulatory adherence-essentials in today’s safety-focused and regulated automotive market.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee
has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types
of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the
ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent
rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of t
