CE fireworks – What you need to know

CE fireworks – What you need to know   The CE marking on fireworks came into effect as of  4th July 2010 under the Pyrotechnics Articles Safety Regulations 2010, and this meant that all new fireworks that were to be imported and created for sale in the European market after this date must be marked with the CE standard. However from the 4th July 2010 there was a transitional period where the previously marked BS7114  fireworks still could be sold and used up until 3rd July 2017. This transitional period was...

New Products For 2017 – Goldilocks Zone

Goldilocks Zone is a brand new Category 2 firework for 2017, and as the name suggests this 36 shot piece is just right for your display!
