  1. Pursuant to section 17 of the Entertainment Special Effects Ordinance (Cap. 560) and section 14 of the Entertainment Special Effects (General) Regulation (Cap. 560A), the Authority shall keep a register of all registered pyrotechnic special effects materials (PSEM) and may classify and impose any restrictions on the conveyance, storage and use of any PSEM as he considers necessary.

  2. The following abbreviations are used in this Register: 

    Authority
    Means the Entertainment Special Effects Licensing Authority

  3. A manufacturer may also be the authorized dealer or distributor.

  4. Due to the extensive variety of PSEM products available on the market, the Authority groups similar products from a single manufacturer into the same category (e.g., “Mine 25mm (25’ to 125’)”). This grouping does not imply that every specific product within that category — such as “Mine 25mm (55’), Green with Crackle” — has been accepted by the Authority. Please contact the Special Effects Licensing Section of the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency to enquire about specific products within a category.
