/* /* fireworks wiki is out of date since 2017 */ new section
since 2017 ALL fireworks need a CE mark  and must be marked with category F1, F2, F3 & F4   (not 1, 2, 3 & 4) The terms indoor, garden & display fireworks no longer apply

the BS standard marking by itself is not enough the firework also needs the identification number of the Notified Body who tested the fireworks are correctly clasified and the manufacture or importers details

category F2 & F3  fireworks must not be sold to persons under 18 years old

the law will change again due to UK leaving the EU CE  mark will need to change to UK/CA mark by 2022 for fireworks not yet in the UK (old stock can continue with CE mark ) (very old stock with BS marking and no CE mark were banned from sale in 2017)

please update this wiki asap
