Abstract: The CHAF* project was instigated following a series of accidents in large-scale storage of fireworks, by far the most serious being that at Enschede in the Netherlands. The project aims to quantify and suggest means to control the hazards associated with large-scale fi reworks storage by small-, medium- and large-scale investigations on a series of well-defi ned fireworks. Additionally, it is hoped that correlations will be found between the small- and/or medium-scale tests results and those obtained in large-scale trials, and that these will lead to better test methods to predict mass storage hazards. Reports from the individual activities undertaken in the workpackages are posted on a dedicated web site www.chaf.info as they are delivered.
