In the Czech Republic, there are a few companies manufacturing pyrotechnic activating devices and inflators for automotive safety systems such as airbags and seatbelts.
A majority of airbag parts is heading overseas (the US, Asia). The essential step is to apply for an approval certificate for transportation, issued on the basis of tests accomplished. It is necessary to classify the degree of danger since the packing method depends on it. What happens if the package fails the tests? Either the quantity of packed products must be reduced or the functionality of the package must be improved, for example with fire-proof asbestos partitions.
