What does NFPA 1126 cover?

• A. High Power Rocketry
• B. Manufacture and Retail Sales
• C. Ground Displays
• D. Transportation of Fireworks

Answer: (A)

NFPA 1126 governs the use of pyrotechnics before a proximate audience. It focuses on safety planning and execution of displays, covering how the devices are chosen, handled, and fired, what safety distances and site controls are required, and how the event team and operators must coordinate to protect spectators. This scope fits ground displays, which are pyrotechnic effects performed on or near the ground for an audience. It does not cover activities like high power rocketry, nor does it regulate manufacturing/retail sales or transportation of fireworks—those are addressed by other standards and regulations.
