Explosives - Show detonation

Before blasting with explosive substances (e.g. blasting buildings or blasting in the course of road construction work), the holder of the licence must notify the competent authority of the blasting in accordance with Section 7 of the Explosives Act. A change to a previously notified blasting operation must also be notified.

Procedure

1. submit a notification of blasting in accordance with § 1 or § 2 of the 3rd Explosives Ordinance. You can do this in writing by post (in duplicate), fax or e-mail to sprengstoff@lagetsi.berlin.de.
  • Blasting in facilities that are authorised in accordance with § 4 of the Federal Immission Control Act (e.g. in quarries) is exempt from the notification requirement. However, this only applies to blasting that is covered by the licence.

2. You will receive a confirmation of receipt. If there are any concerns, the authority will contact the person responsible.
