Directive 2008/68/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 September 2008 on the inland transport of dangerous goods (Text with EEA relevance) · European Union

Subject: Carriage of UN 0335 fireworks. Reference to Annex I, Section I.1, to this Directive: Annex B, 7.2.4, V2 (1). Content of the Annex to the Directive: Provisions for the use of EX/II and EX/III vehicles. Content of the national legislation: When carrying UN 0335 fireworks, Special Provision V2(1) in 7.2.4 is applicable only to a net explosive content of more than 3000 kg (4000 kg with trailer), provided the fireworks have been assigned to UN 0335 according to the default fireworks classification table in 2.1.3.5.5 of the 14th revised edition of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods. Such assignment shall be made with the agreement of the competent authority. A verification of the assignment shall be carried on the transport unit. Initial reference to the national legislation: Appendix S — Specific regulations for the domestic transport of dangerous goods by road issued in accordance with the Transport of Dangerous Goods Act. Comments: The carriage of fireworks is limited in time to two short periods of the year, the turn of the year and the turn of the month April/May. The carriage from consignors to terminals can be effected by the present fleet of EX-approved vehicles without great problems. However, the distribution both of fireworks from terminals to shopping areas and of the surplus back to the terminal is limited due to a lack of EX-approved vehicles. The carriers are not interested in investing in such approvals because they cannot recover their costs. This places the whole existence of consignors of fireworks in jeopardy because they cannot get their products on the market. When using this derogation, the classification of the fireworks must be made on the basis of the default list in the UN Recommendations, in order to get the most up-to-date classification possible. A similar type of exception exists for UN 0336 fireworks incorporated in Special Provision 651, 3.3.1 of the ADR 2005. Expiry date: 30 June 2015.
