International Conference on the Standardization of Safety and Performance Tests for Energetic Materials (2nd) Held at Dover, New Jersey on 15-19 October 1979

Abstract

This report summarizes the minutes of the Second International Conference on the Standardization of Safety and Performance Tests for Energetic Materials which was held at ARRADCOM, Dover, NJ on 15-19 October 1979. The proposed outline of a standard manual was discussed. Discussion groups were established: Methodology, Chemistry, Safety, H.E. Performance, and Pyrotechnic Safety and Performance. Each group made recommendations which included tests and criteria for the assessment of safety and suitability of explosives (all energetic materials) that would be required for the interim qualification of that material for military use. Submitted tests were categorized as mandatory, prescribed or optical. A schedule was arranged for distribution and review of the specified group tests.
