Definition

This field specifies whether the item is covered by the EU Regulation on explosives precursors.

Explanation

The Regulation on explosives precursors is an EU law that governs chemical substances that may be misused to manufacture homemade explosives. The purpose is to restrict public access to these substances and to introduce requirements for reporting suspicious transactions in order to prevent terrorism and other serious crime.

The regulation applies both to pure substances and to products containing such substances. For certain substances, private individuals require a permit, and companies are obliged to report suspicious transactions as well as significant thefts or disappearances.

The substances covered are listed in Annex I and II of the EU Regulation. More information is available from the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (Myndigheten för samhällsskydd och beredskap (MSB)).
