NASA-STD-8719.12, NASA STANDARD: SAFETY STANDARD FOR EXPLOSIVES, PROPELLANTS, AND PYROTECHNICS (29 JAN 2010) [SUPERSEDES NSS 1740.12]

NASA-STD-8719.12, NASA STANDARD: SAFETY STANDARD FOR EXPLOSIVES, PROPELLANTS, AND PYROTECHNICS (29 JAN 2010) [SUPERSEDES NSS 1740.12]., This document prescribes the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) safety standards/procedures for operations involving explosives handling and processing. These operations are an integral part of explosives-related development and manufacturing activities. Safety of all explosive operations associated with NASA programs is an ongoing, primary concern and continually must be given high priority in all program direction and management. This document provides a uniform set of standards for all NASA installations involved in explosives storage, handling, or processing, and complies with the cardinal principle for explosive safety: expose the minimum number of people to the smallest quantity of explosives for the shortest period consistent with the operation being conducted.
