In 2015 BIS plans to replace the 2010 Pyrotechnic Articles (Safety) Regulations with an updated version - the 2015 Pyrotechnic Articles (Safety) Regulations. This has implications for vehicle SRS (secondary restraint systems – including airbags). This is being done because 2 new European Directives need to be implemented in the UK. Among other things this introduces new requirements to improve the traceability of pyrotechnic articles.
The main changes are that there will be new labelling requirements for manufacturers and importers and, along with distributors, they will also have to keep records (for 10 years) of the registration number of articles, who they have sold pyrotechnic articles to and who has supplied them. They will also have new obligations to take action over unsafe articles that they have put on the market.
The draft regulations can be viewed on the BIS website at:
