So could I legally, without any licences, make <100g of BP, put it in a rocket and set it off? I think i'll apply for an acquire only anyway. I won't need an EPP yet as I'm perfecting BP rockets first.

This would allow you to store more than the 100g permitted under an acquire only certificate.

Does a acquire only certificate still allow 100g storage?

4) You may assemble a pyrotechnic device up to 100g maximum net explosive content, e.g. a 2 inch shell or a rocket with a small heading given the above, but again, this would class as an unclassified device and so could not be stored - it must be used immediately as above.

So does the acquire certificate allow assembly of pyrotechnic devices or is it just for compositions? What differentiates between the storage of homemade pyro devices and consumer fireworks?

Thanks so much for your help,

Luke

So I'll need an explosives certificate to manufacture explosives. Will this allow me to make up to 100g or more? Can BP be stored (up to 10 kg) as shooters powder under ER 2014 exemption 7(2)a(i), or is this just for smokeless? Is there a cost for an acquire certificate?

Thanks,

Luke
