The setting off of fireworks must be reported by permit holders. Anyone without a permit, on the other hand, requires a special permit to set off fireworks outside of New Year's Eve.

Before setting off fireworks, the holder of the permit must notify the competent authority of the fireworks. This applies all year round for fireworks with pyrotechnic objects, in particular categories F2, F3 and F4.

If you, as the permit holder, wish to set off fireworks, you must notify the local regulatory authority two weeks in advance. If there are railroad installations, airports or federal waterways in the immediate vicinity, the notification must be made 4 weeks before the fireworks display.
