Hi All,

I do research work for the MoD, specifically with smoke systems. All of my work to date has been based on non-pyrotechnic solutions. I am now looking at a new application and I would like to conduct some experiments on potassium nitrate - sucrose compounds. I have searched this forum and found a few comments that mixing up samples below 100g is excluded from the requirements of MSER 2005. I have scanned through MSER but have been unable to find any reference to this exclusion. Could anybody put me right on this please? If there is an exclusion statement could someone give me the reference?

Any advice on HSE legislation I may need to consider would also be gratefully received.

I forsee the initial research lasting approximately 3 months. A 100g limit would be acceptable for this initial work.

Many thanks,

Richard
