What are Category 4 fireworks?

Category 4 (F4) fireworks are professional-grade pyrotechnics classified as 1.3G under UN transport regulations. They're significantly more powerful than consumer fireworks and are intended for use only by trained professionals with appropriate licences and insurance.

Do I need a licence to buy Category 4 fireworks?

Yes. F4 fireworks can only be purchased and used by individuals or companies holding the appropriate explosives licence and public liability insurance.

What is the difference between F3 and F4 fireworks?

F3 consumer fireworks have a maximum safety distance of 25 metres and can be purchased by anyone aged 18+. F4 professional fireworks exceed these limits and are restricted to licensed professionals only.

Can I use Category 4 fireworks in my garden?

No. F4 fireworks require safety distances far exceeding what any domestic garden can provide. They're designed for large open spaces with proper crowd control, safety perimeters and qualified personnel.
