Note 1: Net weight is the weight of all pyrotechnic and explosive compositions and fuse only.

Note 2: For the purpose of applying the separation distances in Table 2, a process building includes a mixing building, any building in which pyrotechnic or explosive compositions are pressed or otherwise prepared for finishing and assembling, and any finishing and assembling building. Nonprocess buildings means office buildings, warehouses, and other fireworks plant buildings where no fireworks or explosive compositions are processed or stored.
