GB Explosives Notified Body (ENB)
Introduction
The GB Explosives Notified Body (ENB) offers an
independent, specialised technical service in the assessment and
certification (CE-marking) of explosives within the scope
of the European Directive 2014/28/EU (the Civil Uses
Directive recast). ENB operates within the Health and Safety
Executive under the Explosives Regulations 2014
(Amendment) (ERAR2016), which implement the Directive
in Great Britain.
Directive 2014/28/EU and ERAR2016 lay down safety requirements
and transfer arrangements for:
- blasting explosives
- detonating cords
- detonators
- propellants
The Civil Uses Directive (recast) and ERAR2016 do not cover
military explosives or most pyrotechnic
articles.
