Fireworks; notification of the burning of pyrotechnic articles

The form is used for the notification of fireworks with pyrotechnic objects by the holder of a permit under the Explosives Act (SprengG).

Description

If you have a permit according to § 7 or § 27 of the German Explosives Act (SprengG), you are obliged to notify the trade supervisory office in due time of the intended fireworks.

Pyrotechnic objects are divided into different categories. The obligation to notify refers to the burning of pyrotechnic objects of the categories F2 (January 2 to December 30) and F3, F4, P1, P2, T1 and T2 (all year round).

The basis for this is § 23 para. 3 of the 1st SprengG.

The notification must contain the contact details of the person responsible for the burning of the fireworks as well as the issuing authority, the date of issue and the number of the license (permit according to § 7 or § 27 SprengG, certificate of competence according to § 20 SprengG).

In addition, the following information must be provided in the notification regarding the intended fireworks:

  • Type of fireworks
  • Place where the fireworks are to be set off
  • Extent of the fireworks
  • Beginning and end of the fireworks
  • Safety measures
  • Site plan with indication of protective distances

If you do not have a permit according to the German Explosives Act (SprengG), you need a permit from the local municipality if you want to set off fireworks of category F2 in the period from January 2 to December 30.

Prerequisites

You must either have a permit under explosives law according to § 7 or § 27 of the Explosives Act, or as a holder of a certificate of competence according to § 20 of the Explosives Act, you must at least act on behalf of a person who is in possession of a permit under explosives law according to § 7 of the Explosives Act (so-called responsible person for setting off the fireworks).

Procedure

The notification with the required documents must be submitted to the trade supervisory office responsible for the place where the fireworks are to be set off.

The intended burning of fireworks only has to be notified, a permit is not issued by the trade supervisory office.

Special notes

If you do not have a permit under the Explosives Act, you need a permit from the local municipality if you wish to set off fireworks of category F2 in the period from 2 January to 30 December. Further information can be found under "Related topics" - "Fireworks; applying for a permit".

Deadlines

The notification must be received by the trade supervisory office at least 2 weeks before the burning date. If the fireworks are to be burned in the immediate vicinity of railroad facilities or airports, the notification period is 4 weeks.

Exceptions to the notification period are possible under certain circumstances. For this purpose, you have the possibility to apply for an exception from the notification period (shortening of the period) at the trade supervisory office. This application must contain a comprehensible justification and be received by the office as early as possible so that the office has sufficient time to process the application.
