If you wish to handle or trade in explosive substances, for example black or nitrocellulose powder or pyrotechnic articles, for the first time in your commercial activity, you must notify us before starting work.
The safety and health protection of employees and third parties have top priority when handling explosive substances. Compliance with the prescribed protective measures in the commercial sector is a basic prerequisite for this.
Commercial handling and transport must be reported to the competent authority before commencing the activity. This also applies to the sale of pyrotechnic articles (fireworks) of categories F1 and F2.
If you wish to sell fireworks on an annual basis, a one-off notification is sufficient.
A new notification is required if there have been changes since the initial notification (e.g. change of address, changes in the persons responsible).
If you permanently discontinue the sale of fireworks or permanently close the sales facility, you must notify the competent authority.
You can use the linked online process to make the following notifications:
- Sale of pyrotechnic articles (commencement and cessation, change of dates)
- Commencement of operations (commencement and cessation of an activity, opening and closing of a branch, change of data)
