Einzelentscheidungen zur Kombinierten Nomenklatur (EE) Verordnung (EU) Nr. 604/2011 der Kommission vom 20. Juni 2011 (ABL EU Nr. L 163/12) (RV L 604/11): 1. Ein zylindrischer Behälter aus Stahl, mit einer Länge von etwa 30 cm und einem Durchmesser von etwa 3 cm (sog. Airbag-Gasgenerator). Das Gerät besteht aus elektrischen Kontaktstiften, einer Zündvorrichtung, einem Behältnis mit einem pyrotechnischen Treibmittel, einem Behältnis mit einem Gemisch aus Gasen, Filtern und einer Auslassdüse. Das Gasgemisch besteht aus Stickstoffoxid, Argon und Helium. Wenn ein elektrisches Signal des Kfz-Sensorsystems die Zündvorrichtung aktiviert, wird eine Reaktion ausgelöst, bei der das pyrotechnische Treibmittel entzündet wird, so dass die Gase erhitzt werden, wobei ein hoher Druck erzeugt wird. Danach werden die Gase durch die Düse gepresst und füllen den Airbag. …
