AFSL Standards

AFSL established a Standards Committee to develop standards for improving the safety and performance of consumer fireworks. The Committee consists of technical experts; representatives that manufacture, import, distribute, or retail fireworks; federal and state agencies that regulate the safety of fireworks, the insurance industry; and consumers.

The Committee developed performance and labeling standards for twelve categories of consumer fireworks and updates them periodically. The Standards have been published in English and in Chinese to avoid the difficulty of translation by the manufacturers.

Each standard incorporates all existing CPSC and U.S. Department of Transportation requirements and additional provisions developed by the Committee to address risks of injury that were not addressed in the federal requirements.
