But still, well organized groups won't have any problems with manufacturing explosives.
Affected people will be those who want to refill the battery. Instead of doing it themselves they will have to pay much more to a mechanic for doing
that.
And, no - government don't want your safety. They want to have control. Each year more and more. That's the only goal

They do not need to manufacture or do you think the nice stuff (arms, munition, explosives) what was and is sold to "Moderate Rebells" will stay at
the place where it was sold?
Or think what is lying around in the basement or attic at former Yugoslavia or is used actually in some part of the Ukraine ?
Even here in Germany you can find something in the forest for World War II what is useful....

Afaik the VAT number is practically always handed over upon official company filing confirmation. The number translates to company registration number
in some countries. I've never seen this thing put in this way. Second, there are different forms of companies, from personal business entities to
shared joint stock companies, etc, depending on country.
Not sure about Germany, but it sounds really bureaucratic country. The easiest types of companies require just filling form where you put your name
and sign it, and the company is valid and operational within 24-48 hours.

True enough. It's the people that want to be safe. The politicians are like car salesmen, they will say anything to sell you whatever they have on the
lot. And what they get in return is control. But that doesn't mean they're lying.

Sure they will. It might not be impossible, but well designed regulations can increase cost and complexity considerably. This reduces the number of
successful attempts.

Hm... So this means that filling your car or motorcycle battery will require a chemicals license of some sort? Battery acid that is sold in car parts
shops seems to be 20 to 50 %.
Also, no more sulphuric acid drain cleaners to the general public... I remember that 70% stuff was sold in a local, ordinary hardware store, although
not on the consumer grade chemicals shelf.  And I think I've seen 96% acid being
sold in specialized plumbing shops. Not sure if it was sold to anyone or only professionals.

Where in europe are they even selling concentrated H2SO4 as drain cleaner?
Certainly I've never seen that in my own country, only the lye based ones.
Also, is this stuff even really effective for that purpose? I would imagine that normal people adding conc. sulfuric acid into their toilet water
would probably cause more injuries from splatters than it would result in unclogged drains, no?
NaOH for that purpose is without a doubt much more effective for that, I mean only if it isn't added directly as solid as many "normies" are doing and
thus causing another clogged section of the drain 
On the topic, I just bought two liters of cheap battery acid from a discount store, just in case.
I plan to purchase a 5l canister of conc. H2SO4 this year before its too late, that will likely last a life time, while also being so much cheaper in
bulk.
Think I paid more for much smaller amounts than the price of such a canister(from the latvian shop by the way, good price and also, Linards is cool).

I know at least one drain cleaner which is 96% H2SO4 according to product SDS which is available in Poland.
I have almost 4l of supply but maybe I will buy a bit more until it's easy to buy and dirty cheap.

Where I live there is one product which is on the hardware store shelf and it is water white 95% H2SO4.... Hard enough to find, not in every shop, but
it is available.
There is also an online electronics supply store in the city where reagent grade 96% and 98% is available to anybody but I fear all these sources will
dry up when this directive takes effect.

Where I live it is rare too but I came acros it on quite a few occasions, smaller hardware shops often, not the big chains.
I also found it in a few farmer supply stores.
Also there are quite a few pool stores that have 37% sulfuric acid, if you dont mind buying 25L

Hell yes! Besides the standard things like hair (which NaOH does a good job on) it also dissolves complete roles of toilet paper! In my time as a
student on multiple occasions I found a toilet clogged with a roll of toilet paper. Concentrated sulfuric eats through it like it is nothing.

I have seen it sold at wholesale shops here in Norway that supply plumbers and similar. But those shops don't sell to the public. I have found a few
retailers that list it in their webshops, but none anywhere close so I haven't had time to visit any of them yet. And there are online plumbing shops
that offer it with no apparent limitations, but I prefer cash payment when shopping potentially monitored substances.

In Italy there's a brand of almost colourless 98% sulfuric acid drain cleaner (3€/L), and many others that are dyed blue, but are sold in hardware
stores only. Others are NaOH solutions, and solid NaOH (4€/kg) is being sold less and less nowadays. I'll definitely get a couple extra bottles now
that I know it. Thanks for the info!

The few days I wish I lived in italy. Perhaps someone could ship a pallet for me, because I just ordered a full canister of sulfuric acid for 8€/L.

I did read through the new directive and the terms used make it appear quite scary. The restrictions for sulfuric acid are draconic; it is treated
like it was an actual explosive material and it must be licensed and even in businesses it must be registered and a log kept to who it has been sold
to. I'm not sure how seriously they consider it in reality, looking at the fact that it has been around for decades free for sale.
Thank god there is the 1 year interim period when possession is still fully legal. That's before 1st of Feb 2022.

I havent read through it that time. Did that the last ban...
Is there anything in the text about businesses having to keep track of their stock and usage ?
Good luck to the metal industry if there is.

Yes, the list 1 stuff (sulfuric and nitric acid and H2O2) must be recorded and tracked and kept for 18 months, unauthorized personnel or third parties
must be prevented from getting to areas where they are used, blah blah. I don't know if this register is kept only in case, or is it surveyed
regularly by some state security. I wouldn't be surprised if they'd ransack some small businesses for purcashing the stuff because it's dictated as
the evil's liquor, when in reality they dip their rusty wrenches in it. Oh, and how about anodizing? EU is turning things into corporatism in good
pace by banning or bureaucratizing everything to the extent it becomes impossible for a small company to follow them.
I still find it obscure that such commodity chemical like sulfuric acid is to be banned. Even our police stated in some of their articles that the ban
is pretty ineffective for preventing homemade bombs, because there are various alternatives on the market. Then there is that it still can be bought
up to 15% so it only merely slows down the bad guys, but annoys the hell out of good guys.

Update from Italy: My local hardware shops have just been informed that Italy is going to follow the directive starting from 01/01/2021. Sale of
listed chemicals will be allowed as long as they are in stock, but they won't be resupplied anymore after 01/01.
Pro tip: Just tell your local hardware shops that you need sulfuric acid for steel treatments or aluminium anodizing and they'll understand why you're
buying 5 liters of drain cleaner.

Damn...
I practised in the color shop 2005. 96% H2SO4 has been banned in Sweden for long, but in the storehouse they had a 5L jerrican that I got for $20.
Then I sold it for about $15 (but i saved about 50 ml). But they had for sure stoled it when I had a round-up... However, I was only convicted (2014)
for possesioning of HNO3, not the H2SO4, but I guess the rules are stricter now?

Sulfuric acid banned in Sweden? And nitric acid? For how long, and what strength?

It's not allowed to posses more than 15% of sulfuric acid, but I guess there are exceptions for possesing car batteries? That law is pretty new, some
year ago.
And you may not have nitric acid with a percetage over 3%. That has med banned for long time.
When I was procecuted 2014, I had two little boltles (each H2SO4 96% and HNO3 65 %) but the sulfuric acid was legal then, but not the nitric acid.
Now I've started a little lab again, with innocents chemicals, but it is difficult to read all new paragraphes and be updated.

I have always been interessted in chemistry/physics and when I was a kid my dad had some pharmacies, so I could easaly get chemicals to build a little
home-lab in our house. When moving into an appartment I get rid of all dangerous chemicals. But I still collected radioactive sorurces. It was
innocents things like uraniumglass, clock-fingers with radium and americium from smokedetectors and stuff like that.
Then I did a less seriously experiments with radioactivity, to see "if I could split atoms" and se if I could "change the radiation", whith for
example beryllium.
Then I started arguing on a swedish discussionboard, then someone said and claimed that I was not allowed to post my interests, due it wasn't legal.
Of course it is legal! At least, I thougt! You can buy smoke-detectors legal everyware, old clocks an uraniumglass at the antique shop. Maybe the
beryllium was to poisounous to handle. The radiation in it isn't high and dagerous, unless you eat it.
So I wrote a mail to the Swedeish Radiation Saftey Authority and asked how much radioactive stuff it is allow to posess as a private person. But then,
thay wanted to came down and check out my apartment with geigercouters!
Then they had the police with them and wented thru my apartment and found some mystical bottles (50 ml H2SO4, and 50 ml HNO3). But the worst was that
I had also extrakted the toxins ricin and abrin from Ricinus communis and Abrus precatorius.
So, I was convicted for crime aganist the radiation safty law, which it was a little strange. My total radioactivity-collection may gave around 1-2
MBq total. Each clockfinger and each smokedetector gave about 35 kBq each. So my lawayer asked the wittness from the Radiation Saftey Authoroty how
much you are allowed at home. And after som thinking he came with 100 kBq. Thats a banana!
But for the ricin I was also suspected fore crime against the conventions of chemical weapon, and for som reason, the abrin was mentioned as a
biological warfare.
But I was only convicted for 1 (of 2) radiation crimes, 3 and 4 (the more seriously points with the chemical and biologigal warfare, I was acquitted.
Just on point 5 too, possesioning av ricin, abrin and nitric acid (not the sulfuric acid).

I got 13600 swedish kronor in fines, it is about $1650. But I went thru a forensic psychiatric examination, but I confessed it all, and behaved me
properly in court.
And... It was only 2 days before Breivik attacked Norway including with his homemade ammonium nitrate bomb, and they also foud two police uniforms in
my apartment. So I'll geuss the wouldn't exclude any possible terrorism.

That must have quite the day.
I appreciate your honesty and good will, kinda rough to receive such treatment for being a decent person.

This is absolutely hilarious!
Kinda sad to see that they can't make a distinction between resonsible people and those with bad intentions.
I guess this is how government works in general, feels degrading too to have those that are often less knowledgeable decide what we can and can't do,
often with far stretching consequences.

It seems laws are implemented differently in different countries. It seems on some countries only sales is restricted while on some countries
possession is illegal. On first case you can just make it yourself, on the latter you need to adapt your methods (like make esters using other acid
catalysts or making it in situ keeping the mixture below limited value for some other case and so on).
A life with only dilute mineral acids can sometimes be quite a challenge for the hobbyist.
