Before fireworks articles are permitted to be placed on the EU market, they need to undergo several tests to demonstrate their functional behavior. The European Directive, 2007/23/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 May 2007 on the placing on the market of pyrotechnic articles, defines so-called “essential safety requirements” (ESR, refer to the respective Annex I) which must be met by all pyrotechnic articles. The specific tests and further requirements on function and construction are defined in the downstream harmonized Standards. By application of these Standards, a conformity assumption to the ESR is triggered.
In case of consumer fireworks, the EN 15947 applies. The provisions of Directive 2007/23/EC were implemented into German legislation in October 2009 and numerous conformity assessment procedures (e.g. approval tests) of consumer fireworks have since been performed by the European notified body, BAM.
This paper focuses on consumer fireworks and aims at giving an overview of the achieved results, such as observed failure rates, nonconformities depending on the fireworks types, findings of prohibited Chemicals, etc. A comparison with other published test results is presented as well.
