Safety labels help customers identify the intended environment, hazard level and legal restrictions associated with a pyrotechnic article. Always use the classification printed on the original product packaging as your primary reference.

Age limits and permitted sale or use periods can vary by jurisdiction. Check current local rules before buying, transporting or using any pyrotechnic product.

The manufacturer’s label also carries the product-specific safety distance and handling requirements. Do not remove labels, alter products or rely on general advice in place of the packaging.
