HSE Lead in Ammunition Update
HSE have published their final opinion on lead ammunition and confirmed their proposed 5-year transition period for the placing on the market and use of lead shot cartridges. Please note, this transition period only comes into place once the Government has enacted this law.
The CPSA have been working with HSE, fellow associations and BSSC throughout this consultation process. We are reviewing the full HSE opinion published on 13th December in detail and working with relevant government departments as this process moves forward.
