This document gathers some questions and answers concerning the interpretation of certain provisions of Directive 2014/28/EU and of Commission Directive 2008/43/EC.

The answers were discussed between the relevant Commission services and members and observers of the Group of Experts on Explosive, of the AdCo group on Explosives for Civil Uses, and/or with the Forum of Notified Bodies for Explosives. The document attempts to provide guidance to Member States' competent authorities, market surveillance authorities, notified bodies and economic operators.

The answers represent the opinion of the relevant Commission services but may not necessarily represent the opinion of the Commission. This guidance document does not constitute any formal commitment on behalf of the Commission. Only the European Court of Justice can give an authoritative interpretation of Union legislation.
