The US Consumer Product Safety Commission or CPSC approves and sets the safety standards for the consumer fireworks sold by Patriot Fireworks. CPSC-approved fireworks must be able to withstand 350-degree temperatures for two days, must not explode with mechanical shock, are limited to a maximum of 500 grams of explosive composition, and cannot have aerial bursts with any more than 130 milligrams of flash powder. Items that are not approved by the CPSC cannot be classified as consumer fireworks.
