Do not allow commercial handling of explosives

Service Description

Anyone wishing to handle explosive substances in the non-commercial, i.e. private, sector requires a permit in accordance with the Explosives Act. This also applies if you wish to purchase or transport explosive substances for non-commercial purposes.

Activities in connection with explosive substances have a high risk potential. The aim of the Explosives Act is to protect people and property from these dangers. For this reason, the permit may be restricted in terms of content and location and may be subject to conditions insofar as this is necessary to prevent hazards, disadvantages or nuisances for third parties.

In order to prevent accidents and misuse, the law on explosives places high demands on the suitability, reliability and expertise of persons who wish to handle explosive substances.

If you, as a private individual, wish to handle the following explosive substances,

  • Black powder for muzzle loading,
  • firecracker powder for firing firecrackers,
  • Nitrocellulose powder for reloading cartridge cases,
  • rocket motors in model rocket construction of category P2 and
  • Fireworks of category F3 and F4,
  • Fireworks in accordance with Section 20 (4) of the First Ordinance to the Explosives Act, category F2

then you need a permit according to § 27 SprengG (colloquially also called powder license, firecracker license or fireworks license)!

The official permit ensures that only persons who meet the requirements for safe handling are granted access to explosive substances.
