Typical applications are:
- Flame shows outdoors, solely or combined with aerial fireworks displays or ground fireworks
- Generation of flame effects in bars, clubs or discos
- Applications on stages in buildings e.g. for TV productions or on open-air stages e.g. during a live
concert
- Generation of flame effects in the area of special effects for TV and movie productions
- Hazard training for fire fighters, policemen, special and military forces
All other applications are considered as unintended and must be approved by the manufacturer.
The device has not been designed to produce a continuous flame. The maximum burning duration the
user must mind is 25 seconds. After that the user has to pause the flame effect for at least two
minutes so that the unit can cool off sufficiently. Besides long lasting continuous flame columns are
much less dramatic compared to short flame balls and flame columns.
3. Requirements the operator has to fulfill and necessary
qualification
The operator has to be of legal age. If used in Germany the operator has to be at least 18 years old.
The usage must be in conjunction with a professional and occupational work.
The operator must be a skilled person. A skilled person is a trained person who is experienced
regarding the equipment technology and who is informed about the energies and their magnitude
utilized by the device. This device is using electrical and thermal energies (fuels). Skilled persons are
expected to use their training and experience in order to recognize energy sources that can cause
pain and injury and that they take appropriate measures to prevent pain and injury resulting from those
energies. In addition a skilled person needs to take appropriate measures in order to ensure that less
trained persons are not becoming harmed. A skilled person has been trained either by the
manufacturer or the customer who purchased the product.
Further qualification like an indoor pyro license, an SFX license or an aerial display fireworks license is
not necessary.
4. Required approvals
Before the device can be used a permit by the owner and if applicable of the tenant of the property or
building is required.
For the usage outdoors - if it is not a stage or a place of public assembly - no permit of any authority is
required. Usually no charges can be imposed for this kind of usage.
In places of public assembly and on stages the relevant local laws must be followed. The necessary
fire precautions must be negotiated with the competent authority for fire prevention depending on the
individual case.
