Non-medical poisons registration

Due to changes to the Poisons Act 1972  that took effect on 26 May 2015, retailers of products containing reportable poisons are no longer required to obtain a licence and register with their local authority.

Full guidance for retailers selling explosives precursors and poisons, including a list of all reportable and regulated substances can be found online at: Supplying explosives precursors and poisons - GOV.UK
