TS EN 15947-1

TS EN 15947-1 is a terminology standard for fireworks within the pyrotechnic articles family, focused on Categories 1, 2 and 3. It supports consistent technical naming so that manufacturers, suppliers, test laboratories and technical writers can use the same definitions for the same product concepts. This listing represents a withdrawn TSE edition.

What pyrotechnic terminology does

In general technical use, terminology standards do not describe how to make fireworks; they define the language used to identify product types, functions and distinctions. For fireworks, category divisions usually relate to the intended user group, the typical setting of use and the general character of the visual effect. Clear terminology helps align product descriptions, markings and documentation, reducing ambiguity across the supply chain.

Why the distinction matters

In practical technical context, accurate terms are important because pyrotechnic products are described, selected and handled through words as much as through physical design. The title indicates that this part is about terminology, so its value lies in shared definitions rather than performance limits or test prescriptions. That makes it especially relevant for cataloguing, conformity communication and consistent interpretation of fireworks categories.

• Common technical terms for fireworks
• Conceptual separation of Categories 1, 2 and 3
• Aligned vocabulary for product descriptions and markings
• Reduced ambiguity in technical and commercial communication
