Description

F42D covers blasting technology and methods, including the design, manufacture, and use of explosives and blasting devices for controlled detonation in mining, construction, demolition, and quarrying operations. The classification encompasses blasting circuits, detonators, fuses, primer charges, and related ignition systems used to initiate explosive charges. It includes both commercial blasting applications and the technical specifications for blasting equipment, but excludes ammunition design (covered by F42B) and general explosive composition or manufacture (covered by C06B-C06D).
