Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard applies to various civil blasting operations and non-military engineering blasting activities. It establishes safety technical requirements for blasting operations and the purchase, transport, storage, use, processing, inspection, and destruction of blasting materials. This standard is mandatory for all manufacturers and entities engaged in blasting activities in China. It is closely related to GB 50089 and GA 990 for facility and qualification management.
Technical requirements
The standard classifies blasting projects into A, B, C, D levels based on explosive quantity and environmental complexity. It mandates comprehensive blasting design and construction protocols, including safety assessments and supervision. All blasting operations must adhere to strict safety procedures for charging, stemming, and initiation networks. It specifies requirements for different environments such as surface blasting, underground blasting, and demolition blasting. The standard also details safety allowable distances for blasting vibration, air shock waves, and individual flying objects, referencing GB 18098 for toxic gas limits.
Testing methods
The standard requires monitoring of blasting adverse effects, including vibration, shock waves, and noise. Testing systems for blasting vibration must be calibrated regularly by authorized metrological institutions. It also mandates field testing of blasting materials such as detonators and detonating cords for resistance and transmission reliability before use.
