About This Item
TS EN 13857-1 is a terminology standard that collects the key technical terms and definitions used in standards developed for explosives for civil uses. Rather than specifying explosive products themselves, it provides a shared vocabulary for the standardization work surrounding this field.
Why terminology matters in this technical field
In a safety-sensitive area such as explosives, consistent language is essential. In general technical practice, terminology standards distinguish between materials, products, processes and performance concepts, helping authors, users and testers interpret related standards in the same way. The scope of this document is therefore focused on harmonising the basic terms used across standards for explosives for civil uses.
General context for civil explosives
Civil explosives are used in controlled applications such as mining, quarrying, construction and other industrial blasting operations. Within that context, terminology covers the concepts needed to describe explosive materials, initiation-related notions and the way such items are classified in technical documents. TS EN 13857-1 does not introduce a new test method or numerical limit; it supports clear and consistent understanding of the language used in the field.
This makes the document useful as a conceptual reference point for related standards, especially where precise wording is necessary to avoid ambiguity across different technical documents and languages.
