A new international standard for explosive systems and devices has been developed. It combines key attributes of multi-national standards, specifications, regulations, manuals, publications and journals into a uniform set of criteria that can be used to safely and reliably apply explosive systems onto space vehicles. This paper presents some of the details of this standard, with the major emphasis on the All-Fire and No-Fire test methods.
