A survey of safety distances for the storage of
fireworks in the Netherlands and some other
countries

Abstract
Voor de Verenigde Staten, Frankrijk, Duitsland en
Engeland wordt voor vuurwerk een overzicht gegeven van de indeling in
vuurwerkklassen en de afstandseisen voor opslag, om na te kunnen gaan in
hoeverre Nederlandse wetgeving op het gebied van vuurwerk spoort met
wetgeving in deze landen. De aanpak in de verschillende landen vertoont op
hoofdlijnen grote gelijkenissen. De meer gedetailleerde invulling van de
vuurwerkwetgeving vertoont grotere verschillen per land. Het blijkt dat
voor kleine opslagen in Nederland relatief kleine veiligheidsafstanden
worden aangehouden. Voor de grote opslagen zijn de in Nederland
voorgeschreven veiligheidsafstanden groter dan in Duitsland en vergelijkbaar
met die in de V.S. en Engeland.
A survey of the literature on the classification of fireworks and requirements on safe-distance storage of fireworks in the USA, Germany, France and the UK was conducted to allow a comparison of legislation among these countries. Although the definitions and systems of measurement used (e.g. gross or net weight) were not always clear in the consulted references, the following observations could be made. The approach to this subject by the countries surveyed does not differ much on main issues. When it comes to more detailed legislation, however, differences are greater. The table below compares the safe distances (m) of fireworks (according to gross weight) in the least dangerous firework class (subclass 1.4), both with and without a sprinkler system. It can be concluded that the safe distances for a small storage facility in the Netherlands are comparatively small. For a larger storage facility, the safe distances are greater than in Germany and similar to those in the USA and the UK.
