The first set of tests focuses on the chemical and physical behavior of the powder before it is loaded into ammunition or fireworks. Chemical tests include accelerated aging tests, stabilizer depletion tests, chemical reactivity tests, differential scanning calorimetry, and variable-temperature compatibility and stability tests.

Some may be able to carry out only the quality testing, which is chemically straightforward, while others, such as ammunition or gun producers, may have the facilities for just the ballistics tests. REPRESENTATIVE LABORATORIES Outside of the laboratories managed or supported by the producers and major commercial users of black and smokeless powders, most of the facilities with the relevant expertise are government owned or operated.
