On 15 October 1985, in accordance 'with art. 8 of the Regulation annexed to the Convention on the recognition of proof marks on small arms, Brussels July 1, 1969 (of which Italy had become part of 31 March 1974 as announced in the Official Gazette no. 118 of 8 May 1974) , came into effect the decisions taken by the permanent international Commission in the eighteenth plenary session held in June 1984. These decisions, with its unofficial translation into Italian, are detailed below. PERMANENT INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION FOR THE TEST OF ARMS XVIII SESSION June 1984 BUREAU PERMANENT DE LA CIP 45, Rue Fond - des - Tawes, 45 4000 LIEGE (Belgique) PERMANENT INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION FOR THE TEST OF ARMS CIP The International Commission Standing the test of small arms, referring to the Convention for the reciprocal recognition of proof marks on small arms and to the Regulations made in Brussels July 1, 1969, he has the honor to bring to the attention of the Contracting Parties decisions He is taken at the eighteenth plenary session. XVIII - 1. Declaration made pursuant to paragraph 5 of Article 1 of the Convention. The collective decree. 5/1982 (VII - 1) BM - IPM of the Hungarian Government (Ministry of the Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Industry) and 'meet the requirements of CIP XVIII - 2. Establishment of pressure limitations of propulsive gas shells with Appliance industrial shot. decision taken pursuant to paragraph 1 of Article 5 of the Regulations. 1. Taking into account that there are some industrial shoot cameras having a different interior ballistics (specifically the operated fixing devices, the devices from matting and other similar devices), you have to define the maximum pressure that can develop propulsive cartridges, being given the volume effective combustion V and Mp bullet. 2. The measurement of the pressure is carried out in a test piston rod by means of a mechano electrical transducer (Decision XVII - 7). Measuring range: up to 7000 bar. pressure transmission plan: (diameter) (<or =) 6 mm Natural frequency: (> or =) 100 kHz deviation linearity ': (<or =) 1% Electronic filter: (tilde) (tilde) 10 kHz ( - 3dB), Bessel characteristic n = 2 (12db / octave). 2.1. The corelazione between the effective combustion volume V and the maximum pressure of the gas and P 'indicated in a sufficiently precise manner by the following formula: P = aV b 2.2. The efficient combustion and volume V 'defined in the following formula: + V = Vh + Va Va being the additional volume between the chamber and the piston. + The free combustion of the chamber volume reduced Vh and 'defined in the following manner: + = Vh + Vh-in (agreca) .MC Mc being the weight of the propellant charge and the primer. (Alpha) = 1 / (r Greek) = 0.6 specific volume of the propellant charge. The free volume of the combustion chamber and Vh 'defined by the following formula: Vh = VET VET-Vm being the minimum volume of the chamber according to the Tables of the size of the CIP 2 2 VET = C R1 + P1 .R. (L3-R) ] (Greek p) / 4, and Vm being the volume of the material of the cartridge case (without the trigger for the rimfire cartridges, with the Search Item for center fire cartridges). NB The volume and 'determined by measuring the volume of a liquid, possibly without tension, moved from the cartridge case (after the shot that is, with the remains of the powder Coked). 3. In the combustion formula. P = a + b. (Vh + Va) put under the form + P = ln a + b ln (Vh + Va) being known the propulsive cartridge + (given volume Vh), the result is a linear relationship between the additional volume Va and the gas pressure P . 3.1. Given the measures the pressure in the test barrel with additional volumes should be different and with a number of (equal) of propulsive cartridges for each additional volume (n propulsive cartridges in total), you can 'calculate coefficients b ln a linear regression : b = n (Greek S) (XY) - ((Greek S) X).

In view of the decision XVII - 7 measures the pressure you will do with an equal number of cartridges - at least 5 - for each additional volume should be as follows: 3 from 0.08 to 0.16 - 0.25 to 0.40 and 0 , 80 cm for the rimfire cartridges; for center fire cartridges volume Va = 0.08 cm 3 3 will be 'replaced by Va = 1.10 cm 4.1. For propelling cartridges rimfire, the "pressure + maximum" PM gases is defined by the additional volumes Va = 3 0.16 cm3 and 0.8 cm by regression. 4.2. For propelling center fire cartridges, the + "maximum gas pressure" PM must be defined with the volume 3 additional Va = 0.4 cm by means of regression. 4.3. The level of reliability '100.

Art. 1 Principle 1.1. The purpose of this decision and 'to determine the uniform minimum requirements for individual testing of firearms loaded from the mouth or from the breech with black powder. These requirements apply equally to highly stressed pieces that can be assembled in a firearm without any adjustment. In this case, the completed weapon must not be rejected if the highly stressed parts have been tested for the pressure the more 'strong for this type of weapon. The weapon which demands or highly stressed parts needing a sara 'proven adjustment after assembling. For highly stressed parts of any type, it means the parts that need to resist the pressure of the gases that is the reeds com- plete, the breech plug and the revolver drums. For adjustment means any operation carried out on the workpiece susceptible of altering the resistance and consequently would require a proof according the requirements of the CIP The requirements below are not mandatory for the old manufacturing weapons that can no longer 'be used to shoot and have no other that a historical interest. Belongs to an official body of one of the member states to establish a certification that certifies that such a weapon and 'old designs. 1.2. The proof marks can be made only when the firearm or highly stressed parts of a firearm, were tested in accordance with the provisions set out below and to satisfy the requirements imposed. Art.2. The test procedure includes: - control before the shot; - The test firing; - Control after the shot. Art.3. Control before the shot before being subjected to the test firing weapons are the subject of a prior check. This includes: - Control of the distinctive marks; - The operational safety control; - Visual control. Art.4. Control of the distinctive marks 4.1. On the occasion of the distinguishing marks of control, it will occur 'that the following guidelines have been applied in a clearly visible and lasting at least one of the pieces of heavily loaded weapon: - the name, business name or trademark of the manufacturer or any other evidence to support the iddentificare the weapon; - The number of identification of the weapon; - The designation of the gauge according to the trade name; - The inscription "only black powder" expressed in one of the languages ​​used by the CIP member countries, or in the absence of this "PN" the meaning of which must be brought to the user's knowledge by every means deemed convenient; - The mass of the maximum allowable powder charge and the maximum mass of the projectile shown in a way understandable to the user. Art. 5.Controllo the safety of operation and visual control. 5.1. The rifles, pistols and revolvers may be tested in biaco or black fully finished and equipped of charge ignition mechanisms. It will also present in white canes including the codettone breech final and the hole in the nipple, provided they are completely finished. The barrel and 'considered completely finished in white when all finishing works are completed they are likely to change the thickness of the walls or set such that the milling of the cheeks, brazing tenons and reserves, or tool machining of the palmettos and threads, etc. 5.2. The operating safety control concerns for all weapons, the inspection hole of the nipple. For the revolver regards the free rotation of the drum and good engagement of the dogs on the first and the second notch. 5.3. The visual control is concerned the search for possible defects in material and resistance defects such as: a. the reeds for cracks, veins, continuity 'solutions; b. incorrect welds of different pieces; c. inadequate closure construction. 5.5. The weapons and highly stressed parts which, during the prior control showed a defect above will be refused and returned to the applicant. Art.6 test Tyre 6.1. The test firing will be 'carried on the arms or highly stressed parts and finished goods. If a weapon and 'assembled with an adjustment by means of highly stressed parts that have already' made the subject of a comprehensive test this weapon will be 'equally subjected to the test. In a more 'reeds weapons, each barrel will be' subjected to the test; revolver in each of the drum room. 6.2. The test shot for weapons with smooth or rifled barrel, will be 'done using a charge consisting of powder and pellets with the exception that for the revolver will pull two shots of which the first and' to be considered as reheating fail to eliminate the oil residues or other extraneous sotanze in the barrel. For revolveri, the test firing will consist 'pull in at least one shot in each of Cambridge was the drum after degreasing quest'ultimo.I values ​​of the charges of powder and shot for the different gauges are given in the technical annex. 6.3. If you think that the test shots were diffettosi the test bench must, in addition to the prescribed number of shots, proceed to an additional pull. Art.7 control after the shot. After the test firing weapons or highly stressed parts must undergo a new check. Why the provisions of Article Control. 5 will be applied. Article 8. Rejection after the shot. 8.1. The weapons and highly stressed pieces that have been visibly damaged by test firing as well as the weapons over which control has highlighted one of the defects mentioned below will be refused and returned to the applicant: a. any deformation of the barrel that can 'be detrimental to the safety of the barrel. b. crampons or ribs unsoldered; c. cracks on the outside of the barrel and breech codettone; d. for percussion revolvers and weapons detachment of the chimney or other parts of the ignition mechanism. 8.2.Nel case where the result of the test firing also leaves any doubt about the strength of a weapon or piece of UNN strongly urged, or if there are doubts about the existence of a deterioration or defect (in accordance with paragraph 1 ) the proof House in addition to the prescribed number of shots, will proceed 'to an additional test firing. 8.3. The weapons and their highly stressed pieces that by virtue 'of the provisions of art. 5, are not allowed to test shooting or who are rejected due to the provision of Article. 8 may again be submitted at the same Proof House if the applicant proves that led defects observed are rectified. The test then it will be 'repeated. Art.9 Please try again. 9.1 If a weapon already 'proven or strongly urged piece already' tried has undergone one of the operations described below suscetibile jeopardize the safety of the weapon, this weapon or this piece must be submitted to a test in accordance with art. 3 to 8: - exchange of a piece strongly urged, with adjustment; - Any change in the dimensions that determine a reduction in the thickness of the walls of the barrel; - Any changes in the resistance of materials. 9.2.
