Where the regulation applies

The regulation covers civilian pyrotechnic articles and related handling processes within its defined scope. Requirements and the form of conformity assessment depend on hazard class, intended purpose and conditions of use.

What the regulation covers

The regulation limits hazardous effects such as flame, projected parts, thermal radiation and sound pressure. It sets requirements for design, reliable functioning, safety distances, instructions and warning labels.

Examples of products and facilities

  • firework batteries
  • pyrotechnic fountains
  • sparklers
  • party poppers
  • firework rockets
  • pyrotechnic signalling articles

These examples are indicative. Applicability depends on intended use, specifications and the regulation’s exclusions.

Documentation we help prepare

PLANCK helps clarify pyrotechnic class and use, and prepare technical descriptions, instructions and hazard information for testing and the applicable conformity assessment procedure.

Before selecting a route, we check the current text, effective date, transitional provisions and exclusions. Listing a regulation does not mean it already applies to every product in that category.

What to prepare

  • Technical description and intended use
  • The key parameters listed above
  • Models, manufacturer and applicant details
  • Existing conformity evidence

What you receive

A requirements matrix for your product: scope, assessment route, necessary evidence and next actions.
