MIL-STD-1576: Electroexplosive Subsystem Safety Requirements and Test Methods For Space Systems
Standard Overview
MIL-STD-1576 establishes the general requirements and test methods for the design and development of electro-explosive subsystems to preclude hazards from unintentional initiation and from failure to fire. MIL-STD-1576 requirements apply to all subsystems utilizing electrically initiated explosive or pyrotechnic components. MIL-STD-1576 applies to all space vehicle systems (e.g., launch vehicles, upper stages, boosters, payloads, and related systems).
