NECESSITA’ DI UN CODICE INTERNAZIONALE SUGLI ESPLOSIVI ED IL RUOLO DELL’ISEE NELLO SVILUPPO

NEED OF AN INTERNATIONAL CODE ON EXPLOSIVES AND ISEE ROLE IN DEVELOPING IT

Having so many norms and technical cantent of legislatian ta dea/ with is a problem that an explosives engineer has to foce, especiolly when working at an internatianallevel. Each country has its awn norms and legislation, sometimes even each other region or state, as if the physics of explosions, rock, concrete, and masonry characteristics would change across the borders. 8oth norms and laws are frequently aut of dote, being mainly developed a t the beginning of the previous century and adjusted, piece by piece, to a technical ond politica l cantext that is canstantly changing, with adjustment being frequently adopted in a hurry, due to a problem arising such as that of international terrorism. Sametime a/so, norms are not harmonized
with those they intend to amend, so required explanations and new adjustments lead to a vicious circle that increases confusion, complexity and depresses the explosive industry.
