Free From Explosive (FFE) Certificate


Recommended Posts

Make your own perhaps? But obviously ensure that the item in question.

Has parts EASILY removed / dismantled. So you are able to demonstrate

The inert condition of the item. If challenged by Police at a display/ your Home.

 

If you fail to show it is harmless to their satisfaction. you may risk confiscation,

Until proved otherwise!..........Remember, Most Police are NOT Explosive experts.

& would call in an MOD bomb disposal unit to prove otherwise. In cases they were

Not sure about. The policy being The protection of Human Life & the destruction of

Property. IE: Better safe than sorry, & they have 'covered' themselves!.......

 

Most FFE Certs I have seen. Have been Photo copies of photo copies of former

Blank Certs. Then later filled out on the relevant dotted lines.

Hi

 

Suggest you read this (see para 19.2) which deals with the CFFE (Certified Free From Explosives)

 

http://www.eig.org.uk/eig2007/wp-content/uploads/disposal_guide.pdf

 

The Health and Safety Executive and or The Institute of Explosive Engineers should be able to help and give you advice.

 

ALso see Joint Services Publication JSP482

 

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/jsp-482-mod-explosives-regulations

 

Chapter 27 deals with CFFE but is on applicable to the MoD

When I was working, the ‘item’ was inspected by a Chartered Engineer who was a menber of the Institute of Explosive Engineers and if necessary tested by our resident Chemist, after which a certificate could be signed and issued. The 'item' was suitably labelled and had reference to the CFFE certificate.

 

Cheers

Richard
