Fireworks testing assessorsAll shopgoods fireworks must be tested by an NT authorized shopgoods fireworks assessor to the satisfaction of the Competent Authority (NT WorkSafe) prior to importation into the Northern Territory. Documentation of the testing as per AS2187.3 must be provided to NT WorkSafe as evidence of each fireworks item's safety performance prior to 9 May 2007. This includes passed and failed test reports on all fireworks. NT WorkSafe has developed the attached database as an electronic template for testing fireworks. It is recommended that importers and assessors use the electronic format provided, as this will assist faster processing of an import/export application. The Fireworks Database User Manual has full instructions on how to use the database, so it is recommended that authorized shopgoods fireworks assessors print this document and read it prior too downloading the necessary database and files.
