Fireworks policy in Belgium
Government policy for the safety of fireworks in Belgium
The sales of fireworks in Belgium is federally regulated. Since 5 July 2017, the sale of European category F3 fireworks[1] to non-professionals is a criminal offence; the non-professional customer needs to be at least 12 years old for category F1 and at least 16 years old for category F2; the vendor is required to verify the customer's age.[2]
As of 2017, Belgium does not have a federal policy on the lighting of fireworks, although such regulations have been announced in 2015.[3]
