The Fireworks Regulations 2004[1] impose restrictions on the importation, supply and possession of fireworks in England, Wales and Scotland.
The regulations were made under the Fireworks Act 2003.
The regulations revoked the Fireworks Regulations 2003 which introduced, as emergency measures, prohibitions on the possession of fireworks by those under the age of 18 and the possession of category 4 fireworks by non-professionals.
UK emergency regulations are usually temporary in nature - lasting no more than one year after the date of coming into force.
The Department for Business and Trade (DBT) is responsible for fireworks policy.
