Explosive licensing, permits and authorisation
Explosive licences allow the import, export, manufacturing, storage, supply or transport of explosives under the Dangerous Goods Safety (Explosives) Regulations 2007.
A test permit is required to import, test, manufacture, store, transport, supply or use an unauthorised explosive.
An explosive may not be used in Western Australia unless it has been authorised under the explosives regulations.
