If you, as an employer, have airbag or belt tensioner units of category P1 used in your company for the first time, you must report this in writing.

Airbags and belt tensioners contain pyrotechnic sets and igniters. They are therefore subject to the German Explosives Act (SprengG). If handled improperly, these components pose a considerable risk of serious injury or even death. The installation and removal of airbag modules and belt tensioners may only be carried out by qualified, trained personnel.

If you handle airbag or belt tensioner units of category P1 as part of a commercial activity, but without igniting them (e.g. when installing and removing them in vehicle workshops), you do not require an explosives licence.

Proof of limited technical knowledge by presentation of a certificate of participation in a relevant training course on the handling of airbag and belt pretensioner units without a permit.

• Your company must have trained personnel, i.e. the employees concerned must have the necessary so-called "restricted technical knowledge" by attending a relevant training course on the handling of airbag and belt pretensioner units without a permit.
• the airbag or belt pretensioner units are not triggered when removed, i.e. are not ignited
• the airbag and belt pretensioner units are stored in accordance with the requirements of explosives legislation, in particular explosives storage directive 240
• the quantity thresholds for permit-free storage in accordance with Appendix 6 to the Annex to the 2nd Ordinance to the Explosives Act are complied with: namely a maximum of 10 kilograms net explosive mass (NEM) in the working area and a maximum of 100 kilograms net explosive mass (NEM) in the storage area (F30/T30).
