How much visco fuse can I legally buy and store at any given time? Do I need to show any documentation?

 

It seems to be sold on pyro & science sites unrestricted, which is slightly odd.

Sorry that no one has responded to your query sooner.

Acquisition of any explosive article is dependent upon its status in Explosives Regulations 2014 insofar as it requires or doesnt require a certificate for the acquisition. The main test for this sits within Schedule 2 parts 1 and 2 . If your article or substance is listed in part 1 or fits all the criteria of a part 2 listing then no certificate is required.! So your challenge Sir is to establish a UN number for your product, go to the regulations as mentioned above and check the details. ( I cant do all the work for you!!)

With regard to storage - you may keep up to 5kg NEM of articles assigned HT3 or HT4 that are not on certifcate, without a licence. However you need to read Regulation 7 of ER2014 in its entirety to work out what other articles you may keep at the same time. Any queries then please ask in the forum. I am sure that you will get a more timely response!

No no no I'm glad you had the opportunity to write it so elequentky 😃 I do get confused sometimes with all the numbers sometimes 😬

It is ok. It reflects upon these forums quite well, however. Unless I'm missing a section, it looks half dead from here, which sucks.

If only I could go back to 2003, lol.

 

Awesome, thanks. I wrote this before you first replied to my other post. I didn't feel it was very close to the other one in topic. I'll definitly contact the sellers I've found. Can anyone recommend a reputable seller of pyro and/or chemistry items that sells cheap visco? Is there an updated thread maybe?

 

Thanks again.

Before anyone does though have you now referenced the documents and established the regulations for you aquiring and storing said fuse as exat suggested?

Yep. 0105 is the UN code for FUSES, SAFETY. Also, any fuse I buy is required to be properly labelled, both on the fuse (if I have read that correctly) and the container/ packaging, giving the country of origin, the manafacturer, the site it was made on and product ID number, as well as its barcode.

 

I can imagine that would be the requirement for any chemical you'd buy. It makes perfect sense.
