There are several categories in which the United States government classifies fireworks. However, there are two main categories of U.S. fireworks classifications that nearly all of the fireworks you will come into contact with are classified under. These categories are known as the 1.3G fireworks classification and 1.4G fireworks classification, respectively.
We fully understand the responsibility we have and the trust that you are placing in us. It can be stressful making a new company part of your special day, and we don’t take that lightly. To put your mind at ease, here are some topics that many people want to know about us before ordering sparklers. Hopefully, this section will answer your questions and make you feel good about your upcoming purchase.
1.4G is the classification given to the smaller fireworks that you can typically buy at your local fireworks store. Formerly known as “Class C” fireworks, you typically do not need training or a special permit to possess or use fireworks of this grade. However, some states do not allow the use of 1.3G fireworks of any sort, or have restrictions on the size, type, or time period in which they may be used. Please review your local and state laws or checkout our state fireworks laws section for more information.
While not necessarily official, there are several other terminologies associated with different types of fireworks classifications. We have compiled a list below of some of the most widely used terms.
A term given to fireworks such as wedding sparklers, snaps, and snakes that are not really lumped together with the rest of their fireworks brothers. Basically, anything that doesn’t have a fuse can be considered a “Novelty” item. Novelty items can typically be shipped via ground transit without any special paperwork or hazmat labeling.
Another term given to certain lightweight items, similar to “Novelty” items. This term includes such items as caps, party poppers, and snappers. They are generally not considered “fireworks” and are sold almost everywhere in the U.S. They are typically not regulated by U.S. fireworks classifications.
A fireworks classification used by some states that refers to items that only produce smoke not being considered “fireworks”. This allows the sale of smoke items in certain states when “fireworks” are otherwise not legal.
A term given by a specific state that refers to a subset of the “Consumer” 1.3G fireworks classifications that can be sold in that state. In general, “safe and sane” fireworks usually include items such as fountains, sparklers, smoke balls, snakes, ground spinners, pinwheels, novelties, and toy trick noisemakers. With little exception, consumer fireworks not included in the “Safe and Sane” concept include firecrackers, rockets, aerial shells, roman candles, and any novelty firework or combination firework device that includes these types as part of the design or performance.
