This document specifies guidelines on protocols for determining the explosive and flammability characteristics of powders containing manufactured nano-objects. These explosive and flammable characteristics are necessary to establish the safety data sheets useful for the safe storage, processing and transport of powders. This document does not apply to recognized explosives such as black powder and dynamite, nor to explosives the combustion of which does not require the presence of oxygen, nor to substances or mixtures of substances liable to have a similar behavior in certain circumstances.
