Why it Matters

Signs of Genuine & Safe Fireworks

ISI or Government Certification Mark

Look for ISI (Indian Standards Institute) or similar certified safety marks on the packaging.

Manufacturer Details

Every authentic firework should list the manufacturer’s name, address, license number, and production date.

Clear and Sealed Packaging

Genuine products come in well-sealed, sturdy boxes or pouches. Avoid loose, unlabeled, or damaged items.

Batch and Expiry Dates

Quality crackers show clearly printed batch and expiry dates. Old stock can be unsafe.

Eco-Friendly (Green Cracker) Logos

Green crackers have a special logo and QR codes you can check with a smartphone for authenticity and information.

Instruction Leaflet

Each pack must include user instructions in Tamil and/or English for safe handling and disposal.

Where You Buy Matters

Always make your purchase from licensed dealers like Crackers Akshayaa (Akshayaa Agencies). Avoid unmarked street vendors and unknown online sellers.

What to Watch Out For

• Odd smells, dampness, or leaking powders can signal unsafe, expired, or counterfeit fireworks.
• Super cheap prices that seem “too good to be true” are often a red flag for fake goods.

Tips from Sivakasi Experts
