Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard applies to large-scale fireworks show operations within China, covering the organized discharge of salute shells, combination fireworks, and stage fireworks by professionals. It is mandatory for all entities organizing or conducting large fireworks displays. It does not apply to general consumer use of fireworks outside of organized shows. The standard references related product standards such as GB 10631 and GB 19593.
Technical requirements
The standard categorizes large fireworks shows into five grades (I to V) based on the specifications and quantities of salute shells and combination fireworks used. It specifies strict requirements for the maximum allowable proportion of large-caliber shells within each grade to control overall risk. It details comprehensive safety distance and internal distance requirements between discharge points, audiences, buildings, and important venues. Operators must adhere to specific site preparation and product layout guidelines to mitigate explosion hazards. The standard also mandates that operating units possess appropriate qualifications and that key personnel hold valid operation certificates. Furthermore, the standard outlines requirements for operation plans, including technical design and organizational implementation. It covers the entire operational workflow from equipment installation and product loading to ignition system testing and remote ignition procedures. Specific protocols for suspending or terminating displays due to adverse weather or accidents are also mandated.
Testing methods
The standard primarily focuses on operational safety and procedural compliance rather than laboratory testing methods. However, it requires safety assessments for Grade I displays and any operations not meeting standard safety conditions. These assessments evaluate the qualifications of the operating unit, the safety of products and equipment, the reliability of ignition systems, and the scientific validity of safety distances and security measures. Visual inspections of mortar stability and angles are required before loading.
