It also covers certain accessory products required for their ignition (percussion or detonating caps, detonators, etc.). Articles prepared from explosive, pyrophoric, inflammable or combustible products for producing light, sound, smoke, flame or sparks (e.g., pyrotechnic products, matches, ferro-cerium and certain combustible preparations) are also classified here.
