TS EN 15947-1

TS EN 15947-1 is the terminology standard for fireworks in Categories F1, F2 and F3. In pyrotechnics, consistent definitions matter because design, construction, primary packaging and testing all depend on a shared technical vocabulary.

What this terminology covers

This part brings together the core terms used for the structure and handling of fireworks. The F1, F2 and F3 category system is the established classification used to distinguish fireworks by their intended use and general level of hazard. The standard clarifies the meanings of terms linked to design, construction, primary packaging and testing, so manufacturers, laboratories and conformity-assessment users can apply the same language to the same technical concepts.

Why precise wording matters

In pyrotechnic products, carefully defined terminology helps prevent confusion between product features, packaging and assessment activities. In general technical practice, terminology standards support safety documentation, classification work and product communication by creating a common reference point. The emphasis of this standard is on defining the terms used for F1, F2 and F3 fireworks rather than setting new performance requirements.
