The stimulus needed for initiation of an energetic material is an important quantity to determine for reliable functioning and safe handling. When considering the gamma of impact, friction, spark and heating tests in use one runs into the problem of how to compare results and how to make a prediction for practical situations that an initiation certainly will happen or definitely can be excluded. The way forward is not easy. The initiation process, which in order to be successful, should be followed by sustained propagation, is not simply accessible. This paper tries to produce a contribution by considering the fundamental aspects and to show as an example some simulation results of a gas phase initiation model. Some suggestions are made for making further progress.
