The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) has published its report on the fireworks evidence base on 29 October 2020.

Read the report.

OPSS has developed the evidence base by:

  • drawing on existing data, literature and research
  • undertaking stakeholder engagement with a wide range of organisations and groups, inviting them to submit data they can collate or have access to that is not available to OPSS or is not publicly accessible

The aim has been to seek evidence around the key issues raised in petitions, correspondence and debate. These are:

  • market-related information
  • noise
  • injuries and accidents
  • anti-social behaviour and illegal activity
  • environmental information
  • intelligence related to non-conformity and non-compliance with product requirements
  • international comparisons
