The Manufacture and Storage of Explosives Regulations 2005

The Manufacture and Storage of Explosives Regulations (MSER) came into force on 26 April 2005 and largely replaced the 1875 Explosives Act. This means you must register if you store or sell explosives at your premises.

A trading standards officer will visit your premises on one or more occasions to make sure you are complying with the regulations. Failure to register can lead to prosecution and a fine of up to £5,000.
