1  SCOPE

          1.1  Scope.  This standard establishes the design safety criteria for munition ignition systems and associated ignition safety devices used to arm and fire munition propulsion systems.

          1.2  Applicability This standard applies to the design of ignition systems and ignition safety devices in new exploratory, advanced, engineering, and operational system developments. Ignition systems incorporating or initiating one or more detonating components will be subjected to the requirements of this standard in the same manner as those incorporating only pyrotechnic components.

          1.3 Excluded Munitions   This standard does not apply to the following:

          a. Nuclear weapon systems and trainers.
          b. Flares and signals dispensed by hand held devices.
          c. Pyrotechnic countermeasure devices.
