Storing explosives
The legal requirements for storing explosives are set out in the Explosives Regulations 2014 (ER2014) .
How much can I store, and how long can I store it?
The amount you can store, where you can store it, and how long you can store it for will depend on the type of explosive and the quantity.
Do I need a licence?
Before storing explosives, you will generally need a licence from the appropriate licensing authority. Information on how to apply for a licence is available online.
Certain quantities of explosive can be kept for short periods of time and/or limited quantities, without the need for a licence. but the separation distance requirements of the regulations will still need to be met.
