Overview
prEN ISO 14451-10: Pyrotechnic articles for vehicles - Requirements and categorization for semi-finished products is a draft European standard developed by CEN under ISO/DIS 14451-10:2026. It sets out specific requirements, criteria, and categorization methods for semi-finished pyrotechnic products used in road vehicles. This standard guides manufacturers, suppliers, and regulatory authorities in ensuring safety, performance, and compliance with European regulations for automotive pyrotechnic devices.
The standard applies specifically to type testing of semi-finished pyrotechnic products and is not intended for articles containing military explosives or commercial blasting agents, except for black powder or flash composition.
Key Topics
- Test Types and Order: Defines the types and sequence of tests required for semi-finished pyrotechnic articles.
- Acceptance Criteria: Establishes the standards for passing tests, ensuring that products meet safety and quality benchmarks.
- Verification of Documentation: Specifies requirements for technical documentation and design verification.
- Prohibited Substances: Lists substances forbidden in pyrotechnic compositions, including arsenic, mercury, and lead compounds (except in ignition devices), ensuring a higher level of environmental and user safety.
- Safe Disposal: Requires information on safe disposal of pyrotechnic articles to be included in the Safety Data Sheet, in accordance with applicable regulations.
- Categorization: Details a classification system for semi-finished products, distinguishing between low-hazard items (Category P1) and those requiring specialist handling (Category P2). Categorization is based on design, net explosive content (NEC), and test outcomes.
- Regulatory Alignment: Links the requirements to the essential safety provisions of Directive 2013/29/EU, providing a pathway for presumed conformity with European law.
Applications
prEN ISO 14451-10 is highly relevant for organizations involved in the development and production of automotive pyrotechnic articles, such as:
- Airbag Initiators
- Seatbelt Pretensioners
- Gas Generators
- Other vehicle safety systems utilizing pyrotechnic components
By following the requirements outlined in this standard, manufacturers can:
- Ensure the reliability and safety of automotive safety components
- Simplify product certification and market approval within the EU by aligning with the harmonized regulations
- Reduce the risk of incorporating hazardous substances in automotive pyrotechnics
- Enhance trust with vehicle manufacturers and end-users through proven compliance and consistent quality
The standard supports regulatory compliance by mapping requirements to the essential safety demands of EU Directive 2013/29/EU on pyrotechnic articles, which is critical for market access in Europe.
Related Standards
To ensure comprehensive compliance and implementation, prEN ISO 14451-10 should be considered alongside related standards in the ISO 14451 series:
- ISO/DIS 14451-1:2025: Pyrotechnic articles for vehicles - Vocabulary

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.
