Retail Sales of Consumer Fireworks

The flame break shall extend as follows:
1) From the display surface to not less than 6 inches above the full height of the
displayed merchandise or to the underside of the display surface directly above
2) For the full depth of the displayed merchandise

break should impede or retard the rapid spread of an incipient fire involving the fireworks
and their packaging materials as any of the following occurs:
1) The fire progresses along a display level or shelf.

constructed of perforated hardboard panels not less than '/ in. (6 mm) thick and

or is displayed as packaged merchandise on the surface or in bins.
4.4.8 Covered fuses (both temporary and permanent retail sites)
Only consumer fireworks meeting the criteria for covered fuses as defined in Section
3.3.22 or as described in 7.3.15.5.2 shall be permitted where the retail sales of consumer
fireworks are conducted. A consumer fireworks device shall be considered as having a
covered fuse if the fireworks device is contained within a packaged arrangement,
container, or wrapper that is arranged and configured such that the fuse of the fireworks
device cannot be touched directly by a person handling the fireworks without the person
having to puncture or tear the packaging or wrapper, unseal or break open a package or
container, or otherwise damage or destroy the packaging material, wrapping, or container
within which the fireworks are contained.
