DECLARATION
Standardisation and Measurement Office
of 28 February 1968
on the verification of weapons and the approval of civil ammunition
The Office for Standardisation and Measurement provides pursuant to Sections 24 and 35 of Act No. 30 / 1968 Coll., on State Testing (hereinafter referred to as the Act):
This decree applies to the verification of weapons and the approval of ammunition which is authorised to be carried out by the Engineering Examination Institute in Brno (hereinafter referred to as the State Examination Office). *)
Weapons
Basic provisions
(1) In the case of weapons and essential parts thereof intended for civil use, verification shall be subject to verification of each piece; may be put into circulation and used only if they are verified and marked with a verification mark.
(2) The following shall be regarded as a weapon under this Order:
(a) small arms, namely:
shotguns,
a shotgun,
leprosy,
handguns,
Floberts,
Room shooting rifles,
pistols,
revolvers;
(b) ballistic weapons intended to detect ballistic (pressure, dispersion, velocity) and monitor its weapon function;
(c) starting pistols and other alarms, except those with a calibre of less than 7 mm, and other expansion devices, where the source of energy is gunpowder or impactor (slaughter and stun devices, shooting devices, forging presses, penetrators, etc.);
(d) hand-held gas weapons which, in their conception, are close to the hazards of firearms (such as air tanks, gas tanks, wind vents with an additional power source, with uncontrolled gas compression in the pressure vessel, etc.).
(3) The main parts of the weapons are the main components and conclusions.
Submission and submission of arms for verification
(1) Weapons and their separately supplied essential parts (hereinafter referred to as weapons) shall be required by their national manufacturer to register and submit to the public service for verification and marking a verification mark; their importer shall be obliged to do so within 30 days of being imported from abroad.
(2) The manufacturer shall, except for the weapons referred to in § 2 (2), register and submit to the national testing body for verification and marking the verification mark, all hand-held gas weapons with an initial energy of 0.45 kPa or more.
(3) Where it is found that the weapon is not marked with a 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 user shall, as soon as he finds out, but no later than 30 days after taking over the weapon.
(4) Weapons already marked with a verification mark shall be required to log in and submit to the public service for re-verification:
(a) a gun user at the request of the State Service, National Committee, Public Security Authority; hereinafter referred to as the Union for the Cooperation with the Army or the Hunting Organisation in the context of their activities;
(b) the user of the weapon, taking the view that his safety has been suffered by storage, use or otherwise;
(c) repair after repair which may have had an impact on the safety of the weapon or where it has been found that the weapon has been tampered with.
Repair which may have an impact on the safety of the weapon and repair inadmissible
(1) Corrections which may affect the safety of the weapon are:
(a) the establishment of new core,
(b) any modification of the chamber of charge and the transverse cone;
(c) overdrilling or removal of holes after rust on the outer or inner surface of the barrel or on the inner surface of the shotgun barrel;
(d) chrome drilling,
(e) repair or modification, in particular, or in the event of brazing or welding;
(f) adjustment of inclusion (not including extension) or adjustment of mouth mainly for variable inclusion;
(g) compensation for deformation mainly if the service has allowed such repair;
(h) assembly of a rifle telescope when the barrel is weakened or the safety of the cap is reduced;
(i) enlargement of the hole for the extractor or bouncer in the case of weapons with tilted heads;
(j) the reduction of the gap between the barrel forehead and the conclusion if the safety of the weapon can be reduced;
(k) other corrections declared serious by the service.
(2) Unpermitted repairs of weapons are:
(a) the manufacture of an embedded cartridge chamber of a shotgun barrel;
(b) the manufacture of non-self-supporting inserts of the hub chamber having a ball barrel, or of non-self-supporting ballast, the non-self-supporting ones being those which are not capable of enduring operating pressure on their own,
(c) reconstructions for which:
- the new calibre of the weapon attaches more force to the conclusion, with insufficient reserve in its strength,
- the new calibre of the weapon attaches higher pressure to the barrel, with insufficient reserve in its strength,
- the drill mainly does not match the dimensions of a new weapon.
Verification of weapons
(1) The weapon which has complied with the test conditions shall bear the verification mark and the last two digits of the year of the test and, if marked, the serial number of the test and the production number of the weapon in the written verification.
(2) The manufacturer shall provide the arms presented for verification with the serial number and the mark of the calibre in such a way that there is no doubt as to which cartridges or cartridges may be used.
(3) A serial number of the test and, if necessary, the mark of the calibre shall be applied to the weapon submitted by the applicant other than the manufacturer. In addition, weapons with tilting heads will be based on mainly data on bore diameter and core weight.
(4) If a new weapon from imports does not comply with the verification, it shall be returned by the State Service to the importer without any marking.
(5) The verification mark indicates the state service of the weapon only at the first verification, in subsequent verifications only by the last two digits of the year and the serial number of the test.
(6) If the weapon fails the re-verification test, the state service shall remove the previously granted Czechoslovak or foreign verification marks by mechanical or other means.
(7) The applicant shall submit weapons for testing in a condition capable of firing and with a belt; if it is a separate barrel, he shall submit a conclusion allowing the test to be carried out at the same time, and if it is a separate end, the barrel.
Weapons testing
(1) The test of the weapon consists of its inspection before the test shooting, the test shooting and the post-test shooting inspection. The technical conditions of the test are set out in Annex II to this Decree. The official service shall not verify a weapon found to be defective in the technical conditions of the test or for which an inadmissible repair has been carried out.
(2) In the mass submission of weapons for testing, the State Service shall determine the number and dates in which the weapons may be presented to it, where appropriate, where the test will be carried out.
(3) The manufacturer shall make available, free of charge, to the public service authority his equipment and ammunition required to carry out the test, to ensure its safety and to assist his staff in doing so if the public service has requested it.
(4) 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.
Weapon defects
(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 verified by the State Service.
(1) If irreparable defects are detected during the test, the state service shall, before returning the weapon to the applicant, make the weapon permanently unfit for use, as a rule, by deformation, mainly or by conclusion, depending on which part of the weapon did not pass the test. 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 public service will invalidate the whole of the main volume.
(2) 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 permitted by the technical conditions of the test), *)
(d) spherical barrel with an oversized bore,
(e) inadmissible corrections pursuant to Article 3a (2);
(f) other serious defects for which, in the interest of safety, the service decides that they cannot be remedied.
(3) The applicant may request in advance from the State Service for professional blinding of the main chamber.
Ammo
Basic provisions
(1) The ammunition and its essential components supplied separately must not be put into circulation without approval or used for civil use.
(2) In accordance with this Decree, cartridges and cartridges for small arms and expansion devices and ammunition for small arms are considered to be ammunition. The main components of the ammunition are bullets, casings and matches.
Approval of ammunition
At the time of approval of the ammunition, the national service may, in addition to other documentation, require the applicant, in particular, to communicate to it the maximum pressure of the dust gases which develop the ammunition. The applicant, including imported ammunition, shall ensure that he is aware of this information.
Control of approved ammunition
(1) If it is found during the verification that certain items or production doses of ammunition have reduced the safety of their use (e.g. storage), the national service may also decide to withdraw approval only to those items or production doses which could endanger the safety of the user or his surroundings.
(2) The user of the ammunition shall submit them for inspection at the request of the State Service, National Committee, Public Security Authorities; hereinafter referred to as the Union for the Cooperation with the Army or the Hunting Organisation in the context of their activities; Each user has this obligation even if he or she has doubts about the safety or reliability of the ammunition. This provision shall not apply to gas weapon ammunition.
Ammo tests
The technical conditions for ammunition tests are laid down in the relevant Czechoslovak state standards. The ammunition which has not complied with these conditions shall not be approved.

Příloha II
Annex II
Technical conditions for testing weapons in their verification
Verification of new weapons and domestic production
I. Inspection of the weapon before trial shooting
Each weapon is subjected to a pre-test shooting inspection
(a) a general inspection at which arms, rust or insufficiently polished on the outside and arms with damaged arms, are rejected. Weapons having:
- manufacturing defects in the drill and chamber,
- not sufficiently polished, mainly including the chamber of charge, which does not allow effective control,
- cracks or porous or incomplete and sealed areas on the barrel and at the end,
- an insufficiently dimensioned conclusion,
- bent barrel,
- a defective function to prevent safe execution of the test shooting;
(b) checking the dimensions of the drill and the chamber of charge with limit calibers, in which they are rejected principally, the dimensions of which are not in conformity with international or domestic regulations or with factory data engraved on the weapon;
(c) checking the thickness of the wall of the main, in which they are rejected mainly with locally or generally weakened walls (which do not have the minimum wall thickness prescribed by the State), as well as insufficiently connected main bundles. The eccentric bore is considered as a weakening of the wall barrel. Shotgun main is checked by tapping the copper gavel of 50 g mass and a thickness meter in the transverse cone and before inclusion. If deemed necessary by the State Service, the wall thickness of the main other weapons shall be checked accordingly;
(d) control of the closing will by means of pedestal meters for weapons with tilting heads and locking calibers for other weapons. Weapons whose joint between the barrel and the end is 0,1 mm or greater in the case of weapons with tilting heads or whose clearance is greater than 0,15 mm for other weapons shall be rejected. Weapons whose barrel is wobbling are also rejected;
(e) control of the percussion and triggering devices in which the weapons, the firearm of which exceeds too much, is too short, has great will or is too sharp. Weapons whose trigger resistance is too low or does not correspond to the prescribed values shall also be rejected, weapons which are liable to self-start, the cocks of which are not adequately held in the grips or the fuse (s) of which are not functioning properly.
II. Test shooting
(1) After the pre-test shooting inspection, the weapons shall be subjected to a test shooting which shall be carried out on weapons of complete external and internal dimensions, either in a still white or already black state; in any case before the first shooting test. The State Service shall determine whether to verify the weapon in white or black.
(2) The test charges shall comply with their technical specifications and shall be used at a temperature of + 15 ° C to + 25 ° C when the mean value of their pressures from the series of measurements meets the prescribed values.
(3) The pressure of the test charges shall be measured with a copper pressure gauge cylinder diameter of 3 mm and a height of 4,9 mm in the pressure gauge core at a temperature of + 20 ° C with a tolerance of ± 2 ° C, and shall be subtracted from the statically obtained tensile table. The pressure of the test charges for expansion devices may be measured, if necessary, in such a way as to be the most reliable or reliable for the instrument.
(4) Pressure measures must mainly comply with international regulations and recommendations.
(5) The different types of weapons and their separate parts shall be subject to fire by test rounds as follows:
(a) Smooth-bore weapons intended for shotgun hub and main-shotgun semi-finished products (which means a white barrel with definite internal and external dimensions, excluding hooks and hooks) shall be tested with two shots of test rounds on the barrel which give prescribed pressures (or pressures higher) at the prescribed places and then at least one shot of the consumable hub to verify the function of the repetitive or automatic weapon.
Pressurised pressures in kp / cm2 (in bars) and prescribed places are:
| Ráže | Délka nábojové komory | |
| menší než 76 mm | ||
| 1. tlakoměr | 2. tlakoměr | |
| 16 a větší | 920 (900) | 510 (500) |
| 20 a menší | 1 020 (1 000) | 510 (500) |
| Ráže | Délka nábojové komory | |
| 76 mm a delší | ||
| 1. tlakoměr | 2. tlakoměr | |
| 16 a větší | 1 020 (1 000) | 510 (500) |
| 20 a menší | 1 120 (1 110) | 510 (500) |
Note:
1. pressure gauge means a measuring point 17 mm from the bottom of the end bed;
2. by pressure gauge instead of 162 mm from this bottom.
(b) Slotted-bore weapons intended for spherical rounds shall be tested with two rounds of test rounds per chamber, and then with at least one shot of the cartridge per chamber for verification of the function of the repetitive or automatic weapon. The test charges apply a pressure of at least 30 per cent higher than the mean of the pressure determined by firing a sufficient group of strongest consumables.
