1.3g relates to the type and quantity of explosive contained within fireworks in relation to their transport and storage. Generally 1.3g effect fireworks contain louder and bigger bursts. There are many factors which determine the classification of a firework, including the type of packaging, the size, type and amount of its chemical components.
