Weapons
§ 2
Basic provisions
(1) For the purposes of this Decree, arms and parts thereof separately supplied shall be considered as weapons:
(a) small arms
- smooth-bore,
- with a grooved bore,
- ungulates,
- low oral output and disposable weapons;
(b) ballast and cartridge chambers;
(c) ballistic weapons designed to detect ballistic values such as pressure, dispersion and velocity;
(d) alarm, signal and narcotic weapons and other expansion devices for which the source of energy is ammunition or impactor (slaughter, stun, stun, propeller, etc.);
(e) hand-held gas weapons (air guns, gas guns, fans), if they can be dangerous to the user (weapons with an additional source of propulsion power, uncontrollable gas compression in the pressure vessel, etc.);
(f) essential parts of the weapons, which are mainly and conclusions and other separately supplied parts of the weapons which are principally, of the chamber of charge, if they are not part of the barrel (e.g. revolver cylinders), conclusions and days screws;
(g) historical weapons and their imitations.
(2) In the case of weapons and parts of arms supplied separately (hereinafter referred to as "weapons"), with the exception of historical weapons, verification is subject to each piece (unit verification); arms may be put into circulation and used for firing only if they are marked with a piece of verification mark.
(3) Paragraph 2 shall not apply to weapons assembled without any adaptation from parts already verified and to weapons the type of which has been verified (approved) and assigned a approval mark.
§ 3
Submission and submission of arms for verification
(1) The weapons are required by their domestic manufacturer to report to the State testing authority for verification and for identification of the appropriate verification mark; their importer (2) is obliged to do so within 60 days of the import from abroad. Weapons shall be presented for verification within the time limits set by the State Service.
(2) Where it is found that the weapon is not marked with the appropriate verification mark, the obligation referred to in paragraph 1 shall be:
(a) the repair plant to which such a weapon has been entrusted for repair;
(b) each owner.
(3) At the request of the user, a historical weapon may be partially verified and marked with a partial verification mark if it is intended to be used for the shooting (3) if it meets the requirements and conditions of the test and if the request is recommended by the essential organisation of the Union for the Cooperation with the Army.
(4) Weapons already marked with a verification mark shall be required to log in and submit to the State Service for a new unit verification:
(a) the owner of the weapon at the request of the State Service. The proposal for a call may be submitted to the National Committee, the National Security Corps, the Union for Cooperation with the Army and the Hunting Organisation;
(b) the owner of the weapon, if he considers that the safety of the weapon has been suffered by use or otherwise;
(c) repair after the repair which may have affected the safety of the weapon, or where it has been found that the weapon has been tampered with.
(5) A new verification of the weapon may also be carried out at the request of the owner.
(6) If the reasons for the new partial verification of the weapon are lost, the State Service shall not carry out the verification. This fact shall be notified to the owner of the weapon or repair company.
§ 4
Corrections which may affect the safety of the weapon and unacceptable modifications
(1) Corrections which may affect the safety of the weapon are:
(a) the replacement of the stressed part at which the adaptation took place;
(b) repair which has changed the dimensions relevant to the safety of the weapon;
(c) repair which may cause reduced resistance of the weapon to the stress of the discharge.
(2) In case of doubt, the repair office of the nature of the repair of the weapon shall request a binding opinion from the state service.
(3) Unacceptable modifications to weapons are:
(a) the manufacture of a loaded cartridge chamber of a shotgun barrel;
(b) the manufacture of non-self-supporting inserts of the chamber of charge having a ball barrel, or of non-self-supporting ballast; non-self-supporting parts are those which are not in a position to withstand operating pressure on their own account;
(c) reconstructions for which:
- the new calibre of the weapon attaches to a greater retrograde force and there is insufficient reserve in its strength;
- the new calibre of the weapon attaches higher pressure to the barrel and there is insufficient reserve in its strength;
- the drill mainly does not match the dimensions of the new barrel.
§ 5
Part-time weapon verification
(1) In the test report, the State Service shall indicate the date and serial number of the test, the identification of the weapon, the nature of the test and the defects detected on the weapon.
(2) The weapon which has complied with the requirements and conditions of the test shall be marked by the State Service and the last two digits of the year of the test.
(3) The manufacturer shall affix the weapons presented for verification by his name or mark, serial number and mark of the calibre of the usable ammunition on each barrel, if mainly different calibre. In addition, each shotgun barrel shall be marked with an indication of the diameter of the bore measured or a standard steel mark, may also be marked with an indication of its mass. Any barrel intended solely for the use of black dust shall, unless otherwise specified by the State Service, be marked in such a way that it is undisputed that it is a barrel intended for the use of black dust.
(4) A serial number of the test shall also be issued to the weapon submitted by the applicant other than the manufacturer, irrespective of the test result, and, if necessary, the mark of the calibre. In addition, weapons with tilting heads shall be based on mainly data on bore diameters and the mass of the main beam.
(5) If a new imported weapon, which may be the subject of a complaint by a foreign trade organisation, does not comply with the verification, it shall be returned by the State Service without the designation referred to in paragraph 4.
§ 6
Test of weapons in unit verification
(1) The test of the weapon consists of its inspection before the test shooting, the test shooting and the post-test shooting inspection. The official service shall not verify a weapon for which it finds defects in the requirements and conditions of the test or for which an unacceptable modification has been made. The requirements and conditions for the test of weapons in unit verification are set out in Annex II to this Decree.
(2) The applicant shall submit the weapon for testing in such a condition as to be capable of safe firing, and with the belt. The State Service may, where justified, authorise the national manufacturer to present the weapon without the stock. If it is a separate barrel, the applicant shall submit the conclusion enabling the test to be carried out or the barrel, if it is a separate conclusion.
(3) The applicant, other than the manufacturer, shall, in the case of a ball-barrel weapon, supply to the public service at the same time as the gun to the consumer and, where applicable, the casings fitted with matches and bullets, in a quantity specified by the public service.
(4) At the applicant's request, the shotgun test may be replaced by a higher pressure test (higher test).
§ 7
Weapon defects in unit verification
(1) If, in the test of defects that can be repaired, the State Service returns the weapon to the applicant who is obliged to have the defect removed and to resubmit the weapon to the State Service for testing within 6 months.
(2) The applicant to whom the gun has been returned for repair must not use it unless it has been repaired and marked with the appropriate unit verification mark.
(3) If irreparable defects are detected in the test, the State testing authority shall, except in the case of historical weapons imported by a foreign trade organisation, make a weapon, if they are or may be the subject of a complaint, permanently unfit for fire before returning it to the applicant. If there is only one of the main irreparable malfunctions in a weapon with more than one main, the State Service shall propose to the applicant a professional blinding of the faulty barrel, which will make it impossible to insert the charge into the barrel. If the applicant does not agree with this proposal, the state service shall make the whole volume permanently unfit for fire. Such acts shall be notified by the State Service to the relevant district administration of the National Security Corps or the National Committee.
(4) Irreparable defects are:
(a) chiefly and conclusions cracked and stored in dangerous places;
(b) mainly with porous or incomplete sites and mainly overall or locally weakened;
(c) mainly deformed (except for minor deformations of permitted requirements and test conditions);
(d) spherical barrel with an oversized bore;
(e) inadmissible adjustments pursuant to Article 4 (3);
(f) other serious defects for which, in the interest of safety, the national service decides that they cannot be remedied.
§ 8
Weapons homologation
(1) gun homologation is a verification of the conformity of a type of weapon with the requirements and conditions of the approval test in which the certificate of approval and the approval mark are issued.
(2) The Office for Standardisation and Measurement (hereinafter "the Office") shall notify which types of weapons are subject to approval. The notice shall be published by the Office in the Bulletin of the Office for Standardisation and Measurement.
(3) On the basis of the positive result of the approval test carried out by the State Service, the Office shall issue a certificate of approval to the national applicant. The applicant shall indicate each weapon for which the certificate of approval, the approval mark and the number of the certificate of approval has been issued. Weapons may be put into circulation and used for shooting only if they are marked with a homologous mark.
(4) The public service responsible for periodic checks shall determine whether the applicant complies with the requirements and conditions of the approval test.
(5) Where it is found that the requirements and conditions are not met, the Office shall withdraw the certificate of approval. A copy of the certificate shall be sent by the Office to the Office, 4), which shall also inform the Office of the withdrawal of the certificate.
(6) The requirements and conditions for the approval test of weapons, unless covered by this Decree, are laid down in the relevant technical standard. The approval certificate shall not be issued for a weapon which has not complied with the requirements and conditions of the test.
(7) Where a series of approved weapons presents a danger to users and other persons, the Authority shall decide to withdraw that series at all times on the expense of the domestic manufacturer or importer.
(8) Non-homologation weapons may only be approved by the State Service at the request of their manufacturer or importer.

Ammo
§ 9
Basic provisions
(1) In accordance with this Decree, cartridges and cartridges for small arms and expansion devices, ammunition for small arms and their essential parts are to be regarded as ammunition. The main components of the ammunition are bullets, casings and matches.
(2) The ammunition is also considered to be ammunition for use in weapons under this Decree.
§ 10
Ammo control
(1) The ammunition may be put into circulation and used only if it is marked with the appropriate control mark.
(2) The ammunition may be marked by the appropriate control mark of the authorised manufacturer, authorised importer or national service only if the ammunition complies with the type-control and control of the individual production doses and has been found to satisfy the requirements and conditions of the test.
(3) The type-examination shall determine by the State Service whether the ammunition type meets the requirements and conditions of the test. The results of the check shall be given in the Type Test Protocol.

(5) The Office shall notify the Standing Office of the designation (withdrawal) of the authorisation for the marking of ammunition by means of a control mark.
(6) An importer intending to import ammunition not bearing an equivalent foreign control mark may issue an authorisation for the marking of the ammunition by means of a control mark provided that the importer demonstrates that the ammunition has been subjected to checks on the production levies and that those doses comply with the requirements and conditions of the test.
(7) The Authority will withdraw the approval for the marking of ammunition by means of a control mark if the national inspection service finds that the ammunition does not comply with the requirements and conditions of the test, or that the conditions and conditions for granting the authorisation are not met.
§ 11
Ammo test
(1) The requirements and conditions of the ammunition test are adapted to the relevant technical standards.
(2) If there is doubt that certain production doses of ammunition put into circulation do not comply with the requirements and conditions of the test, the Authority shall order the State Service to carry out an additional test. The organisation which owns those production levies shall submit a sample of the ammunition from those production levies in the quantity requested by the State Service.
(3) Where additional testing is found that certain production levies do not comply with the requirements and conditions of the ammunition test and it is not possible to remedy immediately, the Authority shall decide whether to keep these production levies in circulation or to withdraw them from circulation, at all times on the expense of the domestic producer or importer.
(4) Where it has been established by an additional test that only permitted maximum pressure levels have been exceeded, the Authority may authorise the return of withdrawn production levies to circulation subject to their designation as high-performance ammunition. The method of designation shall be approved by the State Service. The ammunition thus marked is considered to be a new type.
(5) Where certain production doses threaten the user's or any other person's ammunition, the Authority shall order the withdrawal of such doses and take the necessary measures to ensure the safety of users. It shall immediately inform the Permanent Office of its decision.
