What records do firework sellers have to keep?
Any sale of 50kg or more of explosive must be formally recorded, including the following details: • the name and address of the person who supplied the fireworks to the seller; • the date on which the fireworks were purchased by the seller; • the name and address of the person to whom the fireworks were sold; • the date of the sale; • the total amount of explosives contained in the fireworks sold. These records must be kept for at least 3 years, and must be made available for inspection upon the request of a Council Officer. There is no legal obligation to record smaller sales, although we do recommend that sellers keep comprehensive records for their own business purposes.
