Explanatory note

This note is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general effect.

These regulations amend the Hazardous Substances (Classes 1 to 5 Controls) Regulations 2001 (the principal regulations). The amendments come into force on 21 November 2013.

The amendments specify which provisions do and do not apply when indoor pyrotechnics are used in an outdoor pyrotechnic display. The provisions that apply are a combination of the provisions that usually apply to outdoor pyrotechnic displays or to indoor pyrotechnic displays. The combination of provisions depends on whether only indoor pyrotechnics, or both indoor pyrotechnics and outdoor pyrotechnics, are used in the outdoor display.
