Pyrotechnic stock is tracked by lot, with expiry, calibre and net explosive content: you know what leaves for the Ascona show and what stays in the magazine, without counting by hand.
The firing plan is built line by line with safety distances computed, then previewed in 3D in PyroSimulator before show night in Ascona.
Quotes and contracts go out as PDFs in the client's language, signed online from the client portal. Invoicing, deposits and accounting export follow, in line with practice in Switzerland.
Fireworks regulations in Ascona
Switzerland regulates pyrotechnic devices through the Federal Act on Explosives (ExplA, SR 941.41) and the Explosives Ordinance (ExplO, SR 941.411). The Confederation, through fedpol, handles import, manufacture and product approval; the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SEFRI) issues use permits; the cantons issue acquisition permits, sales and storage authorisations and, where their legislation provides for it, the firing authorisation.
