Explosives

Commercial explosives are essential for quarrying, mining, and infrastructure construction. 'Directive 93/15/EEC (unofficial consolidation) on the harmonisation of the provisions relating to the placing on the market and supervision of explosives for civil uses' harmonises the essential safety requirements for civil explosives, while providing a high level of protection. It also creates an administrative system for the supervision of intra-EU transfers to protect the public from illicit uses.
