The widespread use of chemical substances in commercial, industrial, and consumer applications makes it necessary to ensure proper awareness and oversight of their distribution, as certain substances may be misused, in violation of legislation, for the manufacture of improvised explosive devices.

Within the framework of the Information Campaign for Traders on the Control of Explosive Precursors, the Ministry of Energy, Commerce and Industry has issued an information leaflet outlining the restrictions on the placing on the market, supply, and use of specific chemical substances, in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2019/1148, with the aim of preventing their illegal use.
