The UK Government is seeking views on the regulation of pyrotechnics and fireworks in the UK.
The purpose of the consultation is to understand views on proposals to:
- restrict the availability of noisier fireworks to the general public, with louder products only available to professional users.
- add products deemed to be carrying unacceptable risks to the list of existing banned pyrotechnic products set out in regulation 33 of the Pyrotechnic Articles (Safety) Regulations 2015 (as amended).
- review the regulations for fireworks and pyrotechnic products currently classified as lower risk to better reflect the different levels of risk they pose.
The consultation closes at 11:59pm on 7 October 2026.
