C06C DETONATING OR PRIMING DEVICES; FUSES (ammunition fuzes F42C); CHEMICAL LIGHTERS; PYROPHORIC COMPOSITIONS
Introduced: September 1968
Description
C06C covers detonating and priming devices used to initiate explosive charges, including percussion caps, electric detonators, and non-electric initiators. This subclass also encompasses fuses (both safety and detonating types), chemical lighters that ignite through exothermic reactions, and pyrophoric compositions that spontaneously ignite upon contact with air or moisture. The classification includes the design, manufacture, and composition of these initiation and ignition devices, but excludes the explosives themselves (covered under C06B) and general matches or lighters outside the chemical/pyrophoric scope.
