Fireworks, an indispensable part of festivities and celebrations, add brilliant color and joy to our lives. In the European Union (EU), strict categorization and management of fireworks are in place to ensure consumer safety. Understanding these classification standards will not only help you choose the right fireworks but also ensure you can fully enjoy the beautiful experience fireworks bring, all while staying safe.
EU fireworks standards categorize pyrotechnic articles into four main categories: F1, F2, F3, and F4. These classifications are based on the hazard level of the fireworks and their intended use environment. As a company dedicated to providing high-quality fireworks to global customers, Yaon Technology understands the importance of safety. Our products strictly adhere to international safety standards and are classified according to regulations in different markets.
Category F1 Fireworks: Safe Little Stars, Lighting Up Family Fun
Category F1 fireworks are defined as pyrotechnic articles presenting a very low hazard and negligible noise level, intended for use in confined areas, including inside buildings. You might be familiar with sparklers, snappers (party poppers), pull-string fireworks, and some small indoor/outdoor novelty fireworks which all fall under Category F1.
Legal Tip: Category F1 fireworks are generally permitted for purchase and use by the public, including children, in most circumstances, though adult supervision is always recommended. Always read product instructions carefully and use them only in recommended locations.
Yaon Technology Recommendation: Our F1 series products, such as beautifully designed sparkler sets and fun novelty fireworks, are ideal choices for family gatherings and children's play. They are safe, reliable, and colorful, adding more joy to your family time.
Category F2 Fireworks: Party Helpers, Igniting Festive Atmospheres
Category F2 fireworks present a low hazard and low noise level, intended for outdoor use in restricted areas. While slightly more powerful than Category F1, these fireworks are still suitable for safe discharge by the general public. Common Category F2 fireworks include smaller outdoor firework assortments, small fountains, small rockets, and some ground spinners.
Legal Tip: Category F2 fireworks are typically allowed for purchase and use by the public, but they must be discharged in open outdoor areas with a specified safe distance from spectators. Always adhere to the safety warnings and firing instructions on the product.
Yaon Technology Recommendation: Our F2 series products, such as compact festival assortments and party fountains, are excellent choices for various outdoor gatherings and celebrations. They release brilliant lights and impressive effects, adding more excitement to your festive atmosphere.
Category F3 Fireworks: Professional Enjoyment, Creating Stunning Scenes
Category F3 fireworks present a medium hazard and high noise level, intended for outdoor use in large open areas, and their intended users should possess relevant specialized knowledge. These fireworks typically produce more spectacular effects, such as medium to large firework assortments, large fountains, and medium-to-high altitude rockets.
Legal Tip: The purchase and use of Category F3 fireworks are usually subject to stricter restrictions. In some EU countries, a specific license or relevant training may be required for their purchase and discharge. It is strongly recommended that Category F3 fireworks be handled by professional pyrotechnicians to ensure safety.
Yaon Technology Recommendation: Our F3 series products, including multi-shot compound fireworks and aerial shells, can deliver breathtaking visual spectacles. If you are a professional fireworks display team or possess the necessary qualifications, our F3 series products will be your ideal choice for creating a spectacular fireworks show.
Category F4 Fireworks: The Highest Level, The Art of Professionals
Category F4 fireworks are high hazard fireworks with a high noise level, intended for use only by persons with specialist knowledge (usually professional pyrotechnic companies). These fireworks are typically used for large-scale public fireworks displays, capable of creating the most magnificent and complex visual effects.
Legal Tip: The purchase, storage, and discharge of Category F4 fireworks are subject to the strictest legal controls. They must be operated by teams holding professional licenses and require permits from relevant authorities. The general public must never attempt to purchase or discharge Category F4 fireworks.
Yaon Technology Commitment: Our F4 series products are high-end articles designed for professional fireworks displays. We collaborate with top-tier pyrotechnic display companies worldwide, providing safe, reliable, and exceptionally effective Category F4 fireworks to help them create unforgettable audio-visual spectacles.
