Pyrotechnics Special Effects (Class 7.2.5)

Pyrotechnic special effects are high-hazard pyrotechnic articles designed for use by professionals. These articles include items such as gerbs, mines, comets and crossettes. This class also includes special-purpose pyrotechnics manufactured for live stage use or the film and television industries.

According to the Explosives Regulations, only authorized fireworks may be imported into, and transported, stored, sold and used in Canada. If tampered with or misused, pyrotechnics can result in injury, property damage or even death. As a result, retailers and users must understand the roles and responsibilities involved in ensuring the safe and secure use of pyrotechnic special effects.
