Abstract

Forensic investigation of pyrotechnic products is one of the areas of explosive expertise, since pyrotechnic means are either explosive devices or contain explosives in their design. Methodological foundations for conducting explosive examinations, including the main provisions of the methodology of expert work, methods for restoring the design of detonated explosive devices from their remains, algorithms for identifying and evaluating the external and internal features of explosive devices, determining their type, description of the features of examining incident sites related to the use of explosive devices remain relevant today
