DOT Clarification on Specialty Fireworks
PHMSA 10-02 specialty firework approval.pdf
On October 02, 2013 (78 FR 60766), the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) published a clarification notice to clarify PHMSA’s policy regarding applications for specialty fireworks devices. Specialty fireworks devices are fireworks devices in various shapes that produce multiple effects, simultaneously. Specialty fireworks devices are classified as Division 1.4G, consumer fireworks. This notice also clarifies what is considered a “Specialty Fireworks Device” for fireworks manufacturers or their U.S. designated agents to enable them to accurately apply for PHMSA approval or Fireworks Certification Agency (FCA) certification and minimize the delay in processing applications for these devices.
