[1 April 1964.]
1. These regulations may be cited as the Dangerous Goods Re
Regulations.

2. In these regulations, unless the context otherwise requires

'flash point' means, in relation to any liquid, the lowest temperature, if
any, at which such liquid will give off vapour which will ignite or
explode if mixed with air and exposed to a naked light.

3. (1) All substances or articles within the meaning of section
3 of the Ordinance are exempt from the application thereof except
such substances or articles as are specified in Categories 1 to 10 of the

EXPLOSIVES

Class 1-Gunpowder

In this class-

'gunpowder' means gunpowder composed essentially of a mixture of sulphur,
saltpetre and carbon.

Gunpowder

Class 2-Nitrate mixture

In this class-

'nitrate mixture' means any preparation, other than gunpowder as defined in class
1, formed by the mechanical mixture of a nitrate with any form of carbon or
with any carbonaceous substance not possessed of explosive properties,
whether sulphur be or be not added to such preparation, and whether such
preparation be or be not mechanically mixed with any other non-explosive
substance.

Class 3-Nitro-compound

In this class-

'nitro-cornpound' means any chemical compound possessed of explosive properties or capable of
combining with metals to form an explosive compound, which is produced by the chemical
action of nitric acid (whether mixed or not with sulphuric acid) or of a nitrate mixed with
sulphuric acid upon any carbonaceous substance, whether such compound is mechanically
mixed with other substances or not.

'chlorate mixture' means any explosive containing a chlorate.

Division 1

Chlorate preparations which consist partly of nitro-glycerine or of some other liquid nitro-
compound.

Division 2

Nobel's Explosive No. 256

and

any other chlorate mixture which is not included in division 1.





Class 5-Fulminate

In this class-

'fulminate' means any chemical compound or mechanical mixture, whether
included in the foregoing classes or not, which, from its great susceptibility to
detonation, is suitable for employment in percussion caps or any other
appliances for developing detonation, or which, from its extreme sensibility to
explosion and from its great instability (that is to say, readiness to undergo
decomposition from very slight exciting causes), is especially dangerous.

Division 1

Fulminate of Mercury

and

any other explosive consisting of such compounds as the fulminates of silver and
of mercury, and preparations of these substances, such as are used in percussion
caps; and any preparation consisting of a mixture of a chlorate with phosphorus, or
certain descriptions of phosphorus compounds, with or without the addition of
carbonaceous matter, and any preparation consisting of a mixture of a chlorate
with sulphur, or with a sulphuret, with or without carbonaceous matter.

Tetrazene

any substance which is a chloride or iodide of nitrogen or a fulminating gold or
silver, or diazobenzol, or a nitrate of diazobenzol.

Class 6-Ammunition

In this class-

'ammunition' means an explosive of any of the foregoing classes when enclosed in
any case or contrivance, or otherwise adapted or prepared so as to form a
cartridge or charge for small arms, cannon, or any other weapon, or for
blasting, or to form any safety or other fuse for blasting, or for shells, or to
form any tube for firing explosives, or to form a percussion cap, a detonator, a
fog signal, a shell, a torpedo, a war rocket, or other contrivance other than
firework;

'detonator' means a capsule or case which is of such strength and
construction and contains an explosive of the fulminate-explosive class in
such quantity that the explosion of one capsule or case will communicate the
explosion to other like capsules or cases;

'percussion cap' does not include a detonator;







'safety fuse' means a fuse for blasting which burns and does not explode, and
which does not contain its own means of ignition, and which is of such
strength and construction and contains an explosive in such quantity that the
burning of such fuse will not communicate laterally with other like fuses.
