What type of fireworks display does NFPA 1123 primarily focus on?

NFPA 1123 primarily focuses on outdoor fireworks displays. This standard provides guidelines and safety measures specifically tailored for fireworks that are set off outside, where environmental factors, audience proximity, and potential hazards are significantly different compared to indoor settings. Outdoor environments offer more space for larger displays and generally have different fire safety considerations than indoor setups.

While indoor fireworks displays and private fireworks shows are important, they are governed by different regulations that address the unique risks associated with those settings. Educational demonstrations might also follow distinct standards, emphasizing training and knowledge dissemination rather than large-scale display logistics. Thus, the focus of NFPA 1123 on outdoor displays underscores its commitment to ensuring safety in larger fireworks events that occur in open environments.
