Fireworks Ignition Permit

If your business ignites professional fireworks, more than 200 kg of consumer fireworks, or more than 20 kg of theatrical fireworks, you need an ignition permit (ontbrandingstoestemming) from the province. You must apply for this permit for each individual event where fireworks will be set off.

The application is submitted to the provincial government. You also need a separate application permit (toepassingsvergunning) to operate as a fireworks ignition company in the first place. For smaller quantities below the thresholds above, a simpler ignition notification (ontbrandingsmelding) is sufficient instead of the full permit.
