1. “pyrotechnic” refers to a device containing pyrotechnic compositions which, upon mechanical, chemical, thermal or electrical impact, will cause rapid and intense chemical reactions, become volatile, produce sound, light and color with or without explosion(s). Pyrotechnics consist of: Firecrackers and consumer fireworks.
a) Firecrackers are products manufactured manually or industrially which, upon mechanical, chemical, thermal or electrical impact, will emit explosion sound effect or emit whistling, explosion sound and colorful effects;
Firecrackers that emit a whistling, explosive sound and color effect shall be referred to as fireworks;
Short-range fireworks are firecrackers that have no more than 90 mm in diameter or do not travel more than 120 m. High-range fireworks are firecrackers that have more than 90 mm in diameter or travel more than 120 m;
b) Consumer fireworks are products manufactured manually or industrially which, upon mechanical, chemical, thermal or electrical impact, will emit sound, light or colorful effects without emitting explosion sound effect;
Thus, Clause 1, Article 3 of Decree 137/2020/ND-CP explains the terms of firecrackers and fireworks as follows:
- Firecrackers that emit a whistling, explosive sound and color effect shall be referred to as fireworks.
- Short-range fireworks are firecrackers that have no more than 90 mm in diameter or do not travel more than 120 m. High-range fireworks are firecrackers that have more than 90 mm in diameter or travel more than 120 m;.
In case of using firecrackers, entities must be licensed and can only be fired during Tet, Hung King's Anniversary, National Day... (according to Article 11 of Decree 137/2020/ND-CP).
- Consumer fireworks are products manufactured manually or industrially which, upon mechanical, chemical, thermal or electrical impact, will emit sound, light or colorful effects without emitting explosion sound effect.
According to the above regulations, the fireworks which Vietnamese citizens are allowed to use are different from firecrackers. The type of fireworks that people are allowed to use emit no explosion sound effect. The biggest difference between consumer fireworks and firecrackers is that they do not cause explosion sound effect.
