Conformity to this requirement shall be verified by visual examination. 4.2 Materials of firework case The body of the firework case shall be made of tissue paper or foil. Conformity to this requirement shall be verified by visual examination. 4.3 Integrity of firework case There shall be no holes or splits in the body of the firework case and it shall retain the contents. Conformity to these requirements shall be verified by visual examination. 4.4 Net explosive content When determined in accordance with 8.3, a throwdown shall have a net explosive content of not more than 2,5 mg.
