AustrAliAn ExplosivEs CodE iii FOREWORD this is the third edition of the Australian Code for the transport of Explosives by road and rail (AE Code) (this Code). it replaces the second edition that was endorsed by the standing Committee on transport (sCot) in March 2000. this code has been prepared by the Australian Forum of Explosives regulators (AFEr) and was endorsed by the Workplace relations Minister’s Council in April 2009. since 2005, the Workplace relations Minister’s Council (WrMC) has assumed responsibility for coordinating national uniform explosives laws in Australia. its objective is to provide a uniform basis for Commonwealth, state and territory legislation governing the transport of explosives and it is designed to apply to all road and rail transport in Australia. this Code is applicable to civilian and military explosives transport. this Code does not apply to the transport of explosives by air or by sea. the international Civil Aviation organisation - technical instructions for the safe transport of dangerous Goods by Air doC 9284 (iCAo ti), including the iCAo ti-supplEMEnt, and the international Air transport Authority – dangerous Goods regulations (iAtA dGr) apply for air transport. the international Maritime dangerous Goods Code (iMdG Code) applies to transport by sea. it is envisaged that this Code will be adopted in the explosives legislation of the Commonwealth and all states and territories. However, it is strongly recommended that readers of this publication contact the Competent Authority in their jurisdiction (listed in section 1.6) to ascertain the status of this Code in relation to local legislative requirements. this Code is the primary reference for explosives and has been designed to complement and be consistent with the 7 th Edition of the Australian Code for the transport of dangerous Goods by road and rail (AdG Code), which currently includes limited and/or advisory provisions regarding explosives (dangerous goods of Class 1). This Code adopts the classifcation, packaging and labelling system for explosives, detailed in the United Nations publication “recommendations on the transport of dangerous Goods – Model regulations, 15 th revised edition” (UN Model Regulations) and is designed to complement the iMdG Code. iv AustrAliAn ExplosivEs CodE ACKNOWLEDGMENTS this third edition of the Australian Code for the transport of Explosives by road and rail (AE Code) would not have been possible without the expert technical advice provided by the Australian Forum of Explosives regulators (AFEr), the Code Working Group and other contributing organisations, which included: 1. state and territory regulatory authorities responsible for the transport of explosives by road and rail in their respective jurisdictions, including: department of Mines and Energy, Queensland department of Mines and petroleum, Western Australia Worksafevictoria, victoria nt Worksafe, northern territory WorkCover, new south Wales Offce of Regulatory Services, WorkCover (ACT) department of thepremier and Cabinet, safeWork sA, south Australia department of Justice, Workplace standards, tasmania 2.

A separate Glossary of terms can be found in Appendix 5. the role and function of the Australian Forum of Explosives regulators (AFEr) is explained in this chapter, together with a list of the Competent Authorities for road and rail transport of explosives. Chapter 2 Outlines the UN criteria for classifcation of explosives and defnes the risk categories for loads. These risk categories are used throughout this Code. Additional classifcation information is provided in the Addenda to Appendix 2. Chapter 3 Specifes the requirements for marking of packages, vehicles and transport containers and provides examples of required labels. Chapter 4 details the requirements for the documentation to be carried on vehicles transporting explosives. Chapter 5 is divided into two parts which outline the requirements for packaging explosives in packages, iBCs, unit loads, large packages and portable tanks. Each particular explosive listed in Appendix 2 has packing instructions assigned to it, which are themselves described more fully in Appendices 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3. Chapter 6 details design requirements, including locking provisions and locks, for carry boxes, enclosed vehicle bodies, freight containers and bulk and special vehicles. Chapter 7 Specifes the rules for stowage of loads, including segregation, classifcation of mixed loads and specifcation of vehicle load limits. Chapter 8 details the procedures applying to the consignment, loading, unloading and transport of explosives, including security requirements. Chapter 9 Consists of nine technical Appendices. Each appendix commences with some explanatory notes, followed by a list and any Addenda. Appendix 1 is a list of explosives and related goods in alphabetical order. Appendix 2 is a list of explosives and related goods in numerical order based on their un number, detailing the Proper Shipping Name, Classifcation Code, the Subsidiary Risk, the Packing Group, the Special provisions and the packing instructions as information adopted from the UN Model Regulations and includes three Addenda. vi AustrAliAn ExplosivEs CodE READER’S GUIDE (continued) Appendix 3 Contains a series of special provisions adopted from the UN Model Regulations and includes three Addenda.

AustrAliAn ExplosivEs CodE 13 1 1.5 Australian Forum of Explosives Regulators (AFER) 1.5.1 Role of AFER the Australian Forum of Explosives regulators (AFEr) is the forum of government authorities responsible for administering explosives safety and security legislation in Australia. the AFEr reports to the Workplace relations Ministers’ Council (WrMC) on the development of nationally consistent explosives regulation, through the safe Work Australia Council. in working towards this aim, AFEr shall: (1) Act as the lead body to provide recommendations to governments through the WrMC on nationally consistent explosives regulation. (2) Advise governments on all aspects of explosives regulation safety, including classifcation, authorisation, packaging, labelling, manufacture, transport, import, export, storage, handling, sale, use, disposal and (as appropriate) security. (3) promote the development and implementation of nationally consistent legislation and safety and security standards to Ministers, heads of agencies and associated parties. (4) share and transfer knowledge between regulatory authorities for safe, secure and consistent explosives regulation. (5) provide technical and policy advice in the development of the Customs regulations – prohibited imports (pis) and to other specialised tasks as requested. (6) review incident/accident information and investigation results to improve safety and security outcomes nationally in explosives regulation. (7) review current trends in international model explosives codes, regulations and conventions to align internationally with the United Nations (UN) Globally Harmonised System for the Classifcation and labelling of Chemicals (GHs) and the un Model recommendations for the transport of dangerous Goods (tdG), and with the air and sea modes. (8) provide a Forum for industry to share knowledge and to identify and resolve explosives related issues. this includes addressing issues related to approvals, exemptions and endorsements that are subject to this Code. 1.5.2 Function of AFER in Respect to this Code to assist with the application of this Code, Commonwealth, state and territory Competent Authorities have established AFEr, which industry, Competent Authorities, or other interested parties can approach to obtain: (a) national endorsement for: (i) packaging methods, packaging and packages other than those specifed in this Code; (ii) unit load methods, bulk containers and other equipment other than those specifed in this Code; or (iii) an approval where a single Competent Authority approval is restricted to one state or territory; (b) classifcations of substances and other articles not included in this Code; (c) interpretation of wording and of requirements set out in this Code; or (d) endorsement to operate at variance with a requirement of this Code. 14 AustrAliAn ExplosivEs CodE 1 1.5.3 Applications (1) Applications for any endorsement, under the terms mentioned, should normally be made in the frst instance, to the relevant Competent Authority of the Commonwealth, state or territory where the applicant resides, but may be made directly to AFEr where the issue has national scope. (2) An application for an endorsement shall: (a) be made in writing to the Competent Authority; (b) be signed and dated by or for the applicant; (c) state the applicant’s name and address; (d) state the name of the person to whom, or the name or a description of the class of person to which, the application relates; (e) specify the provisions of this Code to which the application relates; (f) specify the explosives to which the application relates; (g) where relevant state why, in the applicant’s opinion, compliance with the provisions is not reasonably practicable; (h) where relevant state why, in the applicant’s opinion, the endorsement is not likely to involve greater risk than the risk involved in complying with the provisions; (i) if the application relates to a vehicle, equipment, packaging or other thing – describe the thing; (j) state the period for which the endorsement is sought; and (k) state the geographical area within which the endorsement is sought. (3) the Competent Authority or AFEr may, by written notice, require the applicant to give to the Authority any additional information necessary for a proper consideration of the application. (4) Where an issue has been submitted to an individual Competent Authority and they consider it will be applicable to other jurisdictions, or where the applicant so requests, the application will be forwarded to AFEr for consideration. 1.5.4 Grounds for Endorsement Endorsement to operate at variance with a requirement of this Code will only be considered by AFEr where it does not adversely compromise safety or security where: (a) the endorsement is consistent with the UN Model Regulations and/or the AdG Code; (b) the endorsement represents a minor variation of this Code’s requirements and is consistent with the intent, continued effectiveness and general nature of the requirement; (c) additional time is warranted for the adoption of this Code requirement; (d) this Code contains a printing error and the endorsement would represent a practice consistent with the intended text of the requirement; (e) the endorsement is consistent with an amendment endorsed for inclusion in the next edition of this Code; or (f) the endorsement represents a variation of this Code’s requirement, does not adversely compromise safety or security and will lead to a recommendation for subsequent and relevant change to the next edition of this Code. AustrAliAn ExplosivEs CodE 15 1 1.5.5 AFER Decisions (1) individual Competent Authorities, which have adopted or recognise this Code, have generally agreed to accept and apply the decisions of AFEr in their jurisdictions. the applicability of decisions by AFEr should be checked with the relevant Competent Authority. the individual Competent Authorities for transport are listed at section 1.6. (2) decisions of AFEr in relation to this Code will be made public. However, where commercial in confdence material is provided with respect to the application, confdentiality will be maintained. Note: AFER is not a legal entity and any decision made should be checked in each jurisdiction in order to determine its applicability. 1.5.6 AFER Secretariat in May 2006, the Workplace relations Ministers’ Council (WrMC) requested AFEr to report to the WRMC. At that time the Offce of the Australian Safety and Compensation Council (OASCC) provided the secretariat function and facilitated that reporting function. on 3 April 2009 safe Work Australia was established, retaining the AFEr secretariat function, including reporting on behalf of AFEr to the WrMC regarding progress in developing nationally consistent explosives regulation.

Table 2.1 defnes these Risk Categories and where a reference is made in this Code to ‘Category 1’, ‘Category 2’ or ‘Category 3’ the reference shall be to this table. Consideration must also be afforded to the security risk associated with loads of explosives as set out below. 2.4 DefnitionofHighSecurityRiskLoadsofExplosives (1) this Code establishes high security risk loads of explosives as outlined in table 2.2. (2) in determining whether the load is a High security risk load the quantities of all explosives on the vehicle are to be aggregated and the division determined in accordance with section 7.3.2. (3) Where explosives are transported with ammonium nitrate or ammonium nitrate mixtures in accordance with section 7.3.1(3)(a), half the mass of the ammonium nitrate or ammonium nitrate mixtures shall, for the purpose of determining the total explosives load, be treated as explosives of division 1.1, or division 1.5 accordingly. (4) Where explosives are transported with ammonium nitrate emulsions, suspensions, or gels (un 3375), the total mass of the ammonium nitrate emulsions, suspensions, or gels (un 3375) shall, for the purpose of determining the total explosives load, be treated as explosives division 1.1 or division 1.5 accordingly. 2.5 FireworksLoadQuantityClassifcation Some jurisdictions may classify loads of freworks based on quantities transported and hence consignors and prime contractors should consult with the local Competent Authority when transporting freworks above 500kg (gross) or 250kg (nEQ) e.g. some jurisdictions may classify loads above these quantities as Classifcation Code 1.1G irrespective of individual explosives packaging classifcations or classifcations by default. AustrAliAn ExplosivEs CodE 19 2 TABLE 2.1 Risk Categories for Explosives Type of Explosives (2) Quantity per Vehicle (1) Division Category 1 (Low Risk) Category 2 (Moderate Risk) Category 3 (High Risk) Division 1.1 A (3) Transport must be specifcally approved by the Competent Authority Detonators of 1.1B ≤125 items >125–5000 items >5000 items All other Division 1.1 ≤5kg >5–250kg >250kg Division 1.2 ≤5kg >5–250kg >250kg Division 1.3 ≤50kg >50–1000kg >1000kg Detonators of 1.4B or 1.4S ≤125 items >125 items n/a (5) All other Division 1.4 ≤250kg >250kg n/a (5) All other Division 1.4 S (other than detonators) Any quantity n/a (5) n/a (5) Division 1.5 ≤25kg >25-250kg (4) >250kg (4) Division 1.6 ≤25kg >25kg n/a (5) Notes: (1) Quantity in NEQ, except where otherwise specifed. (2) For mixed loads, the Division and Compatibility Group for the entire load shall be determined as outlined in Section 7.3.2, prior to assigning the appropriate Risk Category to that load. (3) Transport of explosives of Classifcation Code 1.1A is to be specifcally approved by the Competent Authority. (4) This applies only for the purposes of Section 8.4, quantities of explosives of Division 1.5 greater than 250kg are considered to be Category 3. (5) “n/a”– means not applicable. (6) For transport of Class 5 .1 with Class 1 refer to Sections 2.4(3) and 2.4(4) to determine the risk category 20 AustrAliAn ExplosivEs CodE 2 Table 2.2 High Security Risk Loads of Explosives Type of Explosive Quantity division 1.1 Exceeding 1000kg division 1.2 Exceeding 5000kg division 1.3 Exceeding 1000kg division 1.4 not applicable [see Note (2)(iv)] division 1.5 Exceeding 1000kg division 1.6 not applicable [see Note (2)(iv)] Notes: (1) The quantity specifed in Column 2 is based on load per transport unit or the total load in a combination road vehicle. (2) In determining what constitutes a ‘High Security Risk Load’ of explosives the following principles are relevant: (i) Most explosives constitute a security risk, and some are considered to present a high security risk, e.g. detonators, boosters, grenades, anti-tank rockets. As such this Code includes provisions for implementing and maintaining appropriate security requirements throughout the transport process. (ii) A relatively small (NEQ) load, of even high security risk explosives, does not constitute a ‘High Security Risk Load’ because of its relatively low direct potential consequences. (iii) A ‘High Security Risk Load’ is considered one where the load is the risk, i.e. the potential for the load to be used directly for illegal purposes with high consequence, rather than a load containing explosives which present a risk of theft and other subsequent illegal purposes.

(7) In the UN Model Regulations, the IMDG Code, ICAO TI, IATA DGR, text indicating the nature of the risk, while permitted, is not included in the illustrated labels other than those for material of Class 7. Often therefore, labels on imported packages and IBCs, or used as placards on imported freight containers or portable tanks, will not incorporate text indicating the nature of the risk, or may incorporate this text in another language. Such labels are acceptable for continued transport within Australia. Text is more frequently omitted where the UN Number is incorporated in a label used as a placard. (8) Notwithstanding Note 7, the continuing display on labels of text indicating the nature of the risk e.g. EXPLOSIVE, is strongly encouraged for use within Australia, particularly when used as placards on vehicles and freight containers, to assist with hazard recognition in an emergency.

In addition to the requirements below and unless specifc provision to the contrary is made, the packagings used for explosives must comply with at least the requirements for solids or liquids (as appropriate) of packing Group ii (medium danger). (2) Except as provided in section 5.2.5(19) below, packagings used for explosives must meet the construction and performance requirements of Chapter 6 of the AdG Code noting the general requirements of Chapter 4 of the AdG Code, in that: (a) they must be packed in good quality packagings, including iBCs and large packagings, which must be strong enough to withstand the shocks and loadings normally encountered during transport, including trans-shipment between cargo transport units, and between cargo transport units and warehouses, as well as any removal from a pallet or overpack for subsequent manual or mechanical handling; (b) packagings, including iBCs and large packagings, must be constructed and closed so as to prevent any loss of contents when prepared for transport, which may be caused under normal conditions of transport, by vibration, or by changes in temperature, humidity or pressure; and (c) packagings, including iBCs and large packagings, must be closed in accordance with the information provided by the manufacturer. no dangerous residue must adhere to the outside of packages, iBCs and large packagings during transport. (3) these provisions apply, as appropriate, to new, reused, reconditioned or remanufactured packagings, and to new, reused, repaired or remanufactured iBCs, and to new or reused large packagings. (4) parts of packagings, including iBCs and large packagings, which are in direct contact with explosives subject to this Code: (a) must not be affected or signifcantly weakened by those explosives; and (b) must not cause a dangerous effect, such as catalysing a reaction or reacting with the explosives. Where necessary, they must be provided with a suitable inner coating or treatment. (5) unless provided elsewhere in this Code, each packaging, including iBCs and large packagings, except inner packagings, must conform to a design type successfully tested in accordance with the provisions of Chapters 6.1.5, 6.3.2, 6.5.6, 6.6.5, of the AdG Code. However, iBCs manufactured before 1 January 2011 and conforming to a design type which has not passed the vibration test of 6.5.6.13 of the AdG Code may still be used. (6) When flling packagings, including IBCs and large packagings, with liquids, (see Note 1) suffcient ullage must be left to ensure that neither leakage nor permanent distortion of the packaging occurs as a result of an expansion of the liquid caused by temperatures likely to occur during transport. unless specifc provisions are prescribed, liquids must not completely fll a packaging at a temperature of 55°C. However, suffcient ullage must be left in an IBC to ensure that at the mean bulk temperature of 50°C it is not flled to more than 98% of its water capacity. AustrAliAn ExplosivEs CodE 45 5.1 Note 1: For sea transport, additional guidance is provided in the Notes, Section 4.1.1.4 of the IMDG Code. Note 2: For air transport, packagings intended to contain liquids must also be capable of withstanding a pressure differential without leakage as specifed in the ICAOTI and IATA DGR. (7) inner packagings must be packed in an outer packaging in such a way that, under normal conditions of transport, they cannot break, be punctured or leak their contents into the outer packaging. inner packagings containing liquids must be packaged with their closures upward and placed within outer packagings consistent with the orientation markings of the type shown in Figure 5.1. inner packagings that are liable to break or be punctured easily, such as those made of glass, porcelain or stoneware or of certain plastics materials, etc., must be secured in outer packagings with suitable cushioning material. Any leakage of the contents must not substantially impair the protective properties of the cushioning material or of the outer packaging. FIGURE 5.1 Format of Orientation Marks (8) Where an outer packaging of a combination packaging or a large packaging are to be tested and approved in accordance with Chapters 4 and 6 of the AdG Code, or has been successfully tested with different types of inner packagings, a variety of such different inner packagings may also be assembled in this outer packaging or large packaging. in addition, provided an equivalent level of performance is maintained, the following variations in inner packagings are allowed without further testing of the package: (a) inner packagings of equivalent or smaller size may be used provided: (i) the inner packagings are of similar design to the tested inner packagings (such as shape - round, rectangular, etc.); (ii) the material of construction of inner packagings (glass, plastics, metal, etc.) offers resistance to impact and stacking forces equal to or greater than that of the originally tested inner packaging; (iii) the inner packagings have the same or smaller openings and the closure is of similar design (such as screw cap, friction lid, etc.); (iv) suffcient additional cushioning material is used to take up void spaces and to prevent signifcant movement of the inner packagings; and (v) inner packagings are oriented within the outer packaging in the same manner as in the tested package. Two black or red arrows on white or suitable constrasting background or The rectangular border is optional 46 AustrAliAn ExplosivEs CodE 5.1 (b) A lesser number of the tested inner packagings or of the alternative types of inner packagings identifed in (a) (i) above may be used, provided suffcient cushioning is added to fll the void space(s) and to prevent signifcant movement of the inner packagings. (9) Cushioning and absorbent material must be inert and suited to the nature of the contents. (10) the nature and the thickness of the outer packagings must be such that friction during transport does not generate any heating likely to dangerously alter the chemical stability of the contents. (11) the closures of packagings containing wetted or diluted substances must be such that the percentage of liquid (water, solvent or phlegmatiser) does not fall below the prescribed limits during transport. (12) Where two or more closure systems are ftted in series on an IBC, that nearest to the substance being transported must be closed frst. (13) Where pressure may develop in a package by the emission of gas from the contents (as a result of temperature increase or other causes), the packaging or IBC may be ftted with a vent provided that the gas emitted will not cause danger on account of its toxicity, its fammability, the quantity released, etc.. A venting device must be ftted if dangerous overpressure may develop due to normal decomposition of substances. the vent must be so designed that, when the packaging or iBC is in the attitude in which it is intended to be transported, leakages of liquid and the penetration of foreign substances are prevented under normal conditions of transport. (14) Liquids may only be flled into inner packagings which have an appropriate resistance to internal pressure that may be developed under normal conditions of transport. (15) new, remanufactured or re-used packagings, including iBCs and large packagings, or reconditioned packagings and repaired or routinely maintained iBCs must be capable of passing the tests prescribed in Sections 6.1.5, 6.3.2, 6.5.6 and 6.6.5 of the ADG Code, as applicable. Before being flled and handed over for transport, every packaging, including iBCs and large packagings, must be inspected to ensure that it is free from corrosion, contamination or other damage and every iBC must be inspected with regard to the proper functioning of any service equipment. Any packaging which shows signs of reduced strength as compared with the approved design type must no longer be used or must be so reconditioned that it is able to withstand the design type tests. Any iBC which shows signs of reduced strength as compared with the tested design type must no longer be used or must be so repaired or routinely maintained that it is able to withstand the design type tests. (16) Liquids must only be flled into packagings, including IBCs, which have an appropriate resistance to the internal pressure that may develop under normal conditions of transport. packagings and iBCs marked with the hydraulic test pressure prescribed in the ADG Code must be flled only with a liquid having a vapour pressure: (a) such that the total gauge pressure in the packaging or iBC (i.e. the vapour pressure of the flling substance plus the partial pressure of air or other inert gases, less 100 kPa) at 55°C, determined on the basis of a maximum degree of flling in accordance with Section 5.1(6) and a flling temperature of 15°C, will not exceed two thirds of the marked test pressure; or (b) at 50°C, less than four sevenths of the sum of the marked test pressure plus 100 kpa; or (c) at 55°C, less than two thirds of the sum of the marked test pressure plus 100 kpa. AustrAliAn ExplosivEs CodE 47 5.1 iBCs intended for the transport of liquids must not be used to carry liquids having a vapour pressure of more than 110 kpa (1.1 bar) at 50°C or 130 kpa (1.3 bar) at 55°C. Note 1: As the vapour pressure of low-boiling-point liquids is usually high, the strength of receptacles for these liquids must be suffcient to withstand, with an ample factor of safety, the internal pressure likely to be generated. Note 2: For sea and air transport, guidance is provided in the IMDG Code or ICAOTI and IATADGR. (17) Every packaging intended to contain liquids must successfully undergo a suitable leakproofness test, and be capable of meeting the appropriate test level as required by the AdG Code: (a) before it is frst used for transport; (b) after remanufacturing or reconditioning of any packaging, before it is re-used for transport. For this test the packaging need not have its closures ftted. The inner receptacle of a composite packaging may be tested without the outer packaging, provided the test results are not affected. this test is not necessary for inner packagings of combination packagings or large packagings. (18) packagings, including iBCs, used for solids which may become liquid at temperatures likely to be encountered during transport must also be capable of containing the substance in the liquid state. (19) packagings, including iBCs, used for powdery or granular substances must be sift-proof or must be provided with a liner. (20) For plastics drums and jerricans, rigid plastics iBCs and composite iBCs with plastics inner receptacles, the period of use permitted for the transport of explosives must be fve years from the date of manufacture of the receptacles, except where a shorter period of use is prescribed because of the nature of the substance to be transported. Note: Variation of the prescribed period requires Competent Authority exemption. 5.2 SpecifcPackagingRequirementsunderthisCode. 5.2.1 Segregation within Packagings Explosives must not be packaged together with explosives of a different Compatibility Group unless specifcally authorised by the Competent Authority. Where explosives of different hazard divisions are packaged together, the resultant packaging must meet the requirements for packaging of the classifcation of the explosives within the package, determined in accordance with Table 7.1. 5.2.2 Transport in Less than Approved Package Sizes Where explosives are sold to a person for that person’s use in a trade, profession or business and are transported in less than the approved package size, the following requirements will apply: (a) the packages must be marked to indicate their contents, be suffciently strong and so closed to prevent spillage of loose explosive substances or articles from such packaging during transport; and (b) the packages must be transported in a locked carry box in accordance with section 6.2 of this Code. 48 AustrAliAn ExplosivEs CodE 5.1 5.2.3 Use of inner packaging as outer packagings Where an inner packaging is designed to become an outer packaging for transport purposes at some point, then the inner packaging must comply with the requirements for an outer packaging. 5.2.4 Packaging QA Systems the packagings must be manufactured and tested under a quality assurance programme which satisfes the Competent Authority in order to ensure that each manufactured packaging meets the provisions of this Code. 5.2.5 Special Packing Provisions for Explosives (1) All packagings for Class 1 goods must be so designed and constructed that: (a) they will protect the explosives, prevent them escaping and cause no increase in the risk of unintended ignition or initiation when subjected to normal conditions of transport, including foreseeable changes in temperature, humidity and pressure; (b) the complete package can be handled safely in normal conditions of transport; and (c) the packages will withstand any loading imposed on them by foreseeable stacking to which they will be subject during transport so that they do not add to the risk presented by the explosives, the containment function of the packagings is not harmed, and they are not distorted in a way or to an extent which will reduce their strength or cause instability of a stack. Note: For air transport additional requirements may apply. Refer to ICAOTI and IATA DGR. (2) All explosive substances and articles, as prepared for transport, must have been classifed in accordance with the procedures detailed in Appendix 2. (3) Explosives must be packed in accordance with the appropriate packing instruction shown in Columns 8 and 10 of the numerical list in Appendix 2 and as detailed in Appendix 4.1 of this Code. (4) packagings, including iBCs and large packagings, should conform to the provisions of Chapters 6.1, 6.5 or 6.6 of the AdG Code, and meet the relevant test provisions. packagings other than metal packagings meeting the test criteria of packing Group i may be used. Note: To avoid unnecessary confnement, metal packagings of Packing Group I should not be used. (5) the closure device of packagings containing liquid explosives must ensure a double protection against leakage. As an example, refer to section 5.1(12). (6) the closure device of metal drums must include a suitable gasket; if a closure device includes a screw-thread, the ingress of explosive substances into the screw-thread must be prevented. (7) packagings for water-soluble substances must be water-resistant. packagings for desensitised or phlegmatised substances must be closed to prevent changes in concentration during transport. (8) When the packaging includes a double envelope flled with water which may freeze during transport, a suffcient quantity of an anti-freeze agent must be added to the water to prevent freezing. Anti-freeze that could create a fre hazard because of its inherent fammability must not be used. AustrAliAn ExplosivEs CodE 49 5.1 (9) nails, staples and other closure devices made of metal without protective covering must not penetrate to the inside of the outer packaging unless the inner packaging adequately protects the explosives against contact with the metal. (10) Inner packagings, fttings and cushioning materials and the placing of explosive substances or articles in packages must be accomplished in a manner which prevents the explosive substances or articles from becoming loose in the outer packaging under normal conditions of transport. Metallic components of articles must be prevented from making contact with metal packagings. Articles containing explosive substances not enclosed in an outer casing must be separated from each other in order to prevent friction and impact. padding, trays, partitioning in the inner or outer packaging, mouldings or receptacles may be used for this purpose. (11) packagings must be made of materials compatible with, and impermeable to, the explosives contained in the package, so that neither interaction between the explosives and the packaging materials, nor leakage, causes the explosive to become unsafe to transport, or the Hazard division or Compatibility Group to change. (12) the ingress of explosive substances into the recesses of seamed metal packagings must be prevented. (13) Plastics packagings must not be liable to generate or accumulate suffcient static electricity so that a discharge could cause: (a) the packaged explosive substances or articles to initiate, ignite or function; or (b) discomfort to handlers that may cause them to drop or lose control of the package. (14) large and robust explosives articles, normally intended for military use, with or without their means of initiation, containing at least two effective protective features, may be transported unpackaged. When such articles have propelling charges or are self-propelled, their ignition systems must be protected against stimuli encountered during normal conditions of transport. A negative result in test series 4 of the un Manual of tests and Criteria on an unpackaged article indicates that the article can be considered for transport unpackaged. such unpackaged articles may be fxed to cradles or contained in crates or other suitable handling, storage or launching devices in such a way that they will not become loose during normal conditions of transport. Where such large explosive articles are, as part of their operational safety and suitability tests, subjected to test regimes that meet the provisions of this Code and such tests have been successfully undertaken, the Competent Authority may approve such articles to be transported under this Code. (15) Explosive substances must not be packed in inner or outer packagings where the differences in internal and external pressures, due to thermal or other effects, could cause an explosion or rupture of the package. (16) Whenever loose explosive substances or the explosive substance of an uncased or partly cased article may come into contact with the inner surface of metal packagings (1A2, 1B2, 4A, 4B and metal receptacles), the metal packaging must be provided with an inner liner or coating. (17) if metal lined boxes are used for packing explosive substances, those boxes must be made in such a way that the explosive substances carried cannot lodge between the liner and the sides or the bottom of the box. 50 AustrAliAn ExplosivEs CodE 5.1 (18) only hoops of non ferrous material must be used for wooden barrels intended for the transport of explosive substances where steel would be inappropriate. (19) packing instruction 101 may be used for any explosive provided the package has been approved by a Competent Authority regardless of whether the packaging complies with the packing instruction assignment in Column 8 of Appendix 2. 5.3 Empty Uncleaned Packagings Empty uncleaned packagings, including iBCs and large packagings, that have contained explosives must be treated in the same manner as is required by this Code for a flled packaging, unless adequate measures have been taken to nullify any hazard. 5.4 Use of Salvage Packagings (1) damaged, defective, leaking or non-conforming packages, or explosives that have spilled or leaked, may be transported in salvage packagings mentioned in the AdG Code. this does not prevent the use of a bigger size packaging of appropriate type and performance level under the conditions of section 5.4(2). (2) Appropriate measures must be taken to prevent excessive movement of the damaged or leaking packages within a salvage packaging. When the salvage packaging contains liquids, suffcient inert absorbent material must be added to eliminate the presence of free liquid. (3) Appropriate measures must be taken to ensure there is no dangerous build-up of pressure. Note: Damaged, defective or leaking packages of Class 1 – Explosives in salvage packagings are forbidden from air transport. 5.5 Unit Loading Methods for Explosives (1) unit loads must meet the following provisions: (a) packages comprising the unit load must be suitable for safe handling individually; (b) unit loads must be secured to the vehicle in such a manner to avoid damaging the individual packages comprising the unit load; (c) where the unit loads of explosives are to be transported and stacked in stowage, each unit load must be suitably shaped to allow safe stacking and must be suffciently strong so as to provide support to similar unit loads to be stacked on top of it; (d) the unit load must be suffciently strong to withstand repeated handling; (e) the materials used to bond the unit load together must retain their effciency when exposed to moisture, extremes of temperature and sunlight anticipated to be met during the course of transport; and (f) the unit load must be suitable for lifting by fork lift truck or other suitable apparatus. Where they are not apparent, the safe lifting points must be marked on the unit load. (2) segregation must be observed; unit loads must not contain packages of explosives that are not permitted to be transported together by the provisions of section 7.3 of this Code. AustrAliAn ExplosivEs CodE 51 5.1 5.6 General Provisions for the Use of IBCs (1) iBCs used for the transport of explosives must meet the requirements for intermediate bulk containers as detailed in Chapter 6.5 of the AdG Code. (2) Before being flled and handed over for transport, every IBC must be inspected to ensure that it is free from corrosion, contamination or other damage and with regard to proper functioning of any service equipment. Any iBC which shows signs of reduced strength as compared with the tested design type must no longer be used or must be so repaired that it is able to withstand the design type tests. (3) Every metal, rigid plastics and composite iBC, must be inspected and tested, as relevant, in accordance with section 6.5.4.4 or section 6.5.4.5 of the AdG Code or the UN Model Regulations: (a) before it is put into service; and (b) thereafter at intervals not exceeding two and a half and fve years, as appropriate; and (c) after repair or remanufacture, before it is re-used for transport. (4) An IBC must not be flled and offered for transport after the date of expiry of the last periodic test or inspection. However, an IBC flled prior to the date of expiry of the last periodic test or inspection may be transported for a period not to exceed three months beyond the date of expiry of the last periodic test or inspection. in addition, an iBC may be transported after the date of expiry of the last periodic test or inspection: (a) after emptying but before cleaning, for purposes of performing the required test or inspection prior to reflling; and (b) unless otherwise approved by the Competent Authority, for a period not to exceed six months beyond the date of expiry of the last periodic test or inspection, in order to allow the return of explosives or residues for proper disposal or recycling. reference to this exemption must be entered in the transport document. (5) Where two or more closure systems are ftted in series, that nearest to the explosive substance being carried must be closed frst. (6) during carriage, iBCs must be securely fastened to or contained within the transport unit so as to prevent movement or impact, and so as to provide adequate external support. (7) IBCs of type 31HZ2 when transporting liquids must be flled to at least 80% of the volume of the outer casing and must be transported in closed cargo transport units. (8) When IBCs are used for the transport of liquids with a fashpoint of 60°C (closed cup) or lower, or of powders liable to dust explosion, measures must be taken to prevent a dangerous electrostatic discharge. 52 AustrAliAn ExplosivEs CodE 5.2 CHAPTER 5 PART 2: USE OF PORTABLE TANKS 5.7 General Provisions (1) this section provides general provisions applicable to the use of portable tanks for the transport of explosives. substances must be transported in portable tanks conforming to the applicable portable tank instruction and the portable tank special provisions assigned to each substance in the numerical list in Appendix 2. (2) tanks, used for the transport of explosives subject to this Code, are to have been approved, or deemed acceptable for use, by a Competent Authority. (3) the temperature of the outer surface of the shell, excluding openings and their closures, or of the thermal insulation must not exceed 70°C during transport. When necessary, the shell must be thermally insulated. (4) The design approval certifcate, the test report and the certifcate showing the results of the initial inspection and test for each portable tank issued by the Competent Authority or its authorised body must be retained by the Authority or body and the owner. owners must be able to provide this documentation upon the request of the Competent Authority. (5) Unless the name of the substance(s) being transported is described on the metal plate affxed to the tank, a copy of the certifcate specifed in Section 6.7.2.18.1 of the ADG Code must be made available upon the request of a Competent Authority or its authorised body and readily provided by the consignor, consignee or agent, as appropriate. 5.8 Empty Uncleaned Tanks Empty uncleaned tanks that have contained explosives must be treated in the same manner as is required by this Code for a flled tank, unless adequate measures have been taken to nullify any hazard. 5.9 Degree of Filling (1) Prior to flling, the consignor must ensure that an appropriate portable tank is used and that the portable tank is not loaded with substances which, in contact with the materials of the shell, gaskets, service equipment and any protective linings, are likely to react dangerously with them to form dangerous products or appreciably weaken these materials. the consignor may need to consult the manufacturer of the substance in conjunction with a Competent Authority for guidance on the compatibility of the substance with the portable tank materials. (2) Portable tanks must not be flled in excess of the maximum degree of flling specifed in Section 5.9(3). The applicability of Section 5.9(3) to individual substances is specifed in the relevant tank instructions or special provisions in Columns 10 and 11 of the numerical list in Appendix 2 of this Code. (3) The maximum degree of flling (as a %) for general use is determined by the formula: Degree of flling = 97 1 + ∝ (t r - t f ) AustrAliAn ExplosivEs CodE 53 5.2 (4) In these formulae, α is the mean coeffcient of cubical expansion of the liquid between the mean temperature of the liquid during flling (t f ) and the maximum mean bulk temperature during transport (t r ) (both in °C). For liquids transported under ambient conditions, α could be calculated by the formula: α = d 15 - d 50 35 x d 50 in which d 15 and d 50 are the densities of the liquid at 15°C and 50°C, respectively. (5) the maximum mean bulk temperature (t r ) shall be taken as 50°C except that, for journeys under temperate or extreme climatic conditions, the Competent Authorities concerned may agree to a lower or require a higher temperature, as appropriate. (6) portable tanks must not be offered for transport: (i) with a degree of flling, for liquids having a viscosity less than 2,680 mm²/s at 20°C or at the maximum temperature of the substance during transport in the case of a heated substance, of more than 20% but less than 80% unless the shells of portable tanks are divided, by partitions or surge plates, into sections of not more than 7,500l capacity; (ii) with residue of substances previously transported adhering to the outside of the shell or service equipment; (iii) when leaking or damaged to such an extent that the integrity of the portable tank or its lifting or securing arrangements may be affected; and (iv) unless the service equipment has been examined and found to be in good working order. For certain dangerous substances, a lower degree of flling may be required. (7) Forklift pockets of portable tanks must be closed off when the tank is flled. This provision does not apply to single-compartment portable tanks with a length less than 3.65 metres, provided that: (i) the shell, including all the fttings, is well protected from being hit by the forklift blades; and (ii) the distance between the centres of the forklift pockets is at least half of the maximum length of the portable tank. 54 AustrAliAn ExplosivEs CodE 6 CHAPTER 6: CARRY BOX, ENCLOSED VEHICLE BODY, FREIGHT CONTAINER AND VEHICLE DESIGN 6.1 Scope of Section this Chapter sets out requirements for locks, carry boxes, enclosed vehicle bodies, freight containers, bulk vehicles, rail vehicles and special vehicles used in the transport of explosives. 6.1.1 Requirements for Locks Any receptacle, carry box, tank or closed transport unit used to transport explosives by road or rail (1) must be lockable.

(4) A load of explosives assigned to division 1.5 or 1.6 in accordance with table 7.1 must always be assigned to Compatibility Group d or n, respectively. (5) Explosives not normally permitted by section 7.3.2(3) to be transported together, may be transported on the same vehicle provided the incompatible explosives are segregated by: (a) an effective means of segregation demonstrated to prevent sympathetic detonation of the incompatible explosives; or (b) other means specifcally approved by a Competent Authority for that purpose. (6) Detonators of Classifcation Code 1.1B must not be transported on the same vehicle as other explosives except in accordance with an approved method (see section 7.3.2(5)), or under the following conditions: (a) the quantity of detonators does not exceed the upper Category 1 limit; (b) the total quantity of explosives does not exceed the upper Category 2 limit which applies for the division assigned to the load; and (c) detonators must be separated from other explosives by at least 2 metres, or a lesser distance where separated by suffcient means to prevent fre or explosion communicating from the detonators to the other explosives. (7) Detonators of Classifcation Code 1.4B or 1.4S may be carried with other explosives on the same vehicle provided they are in a separate carry box or compartment from the other explosives. (8) The placarding of the vehicle must refect the predominant characteristics of the combined load (e.g. blasting explosives of Classifcation Code 1.1D). (9) if a detonator compartment forms part of a mixed explosives load, that compartment must be identifed accordingly. Note: Explosives being packed for export are also required to be segregated and classifed in accordance with the IMDG Code and Marine Orders Part 41.

(2) Explosives in Compatibility Group L must only be transported with the same type of explosives within Compatibility Group L. (3) Different types of articles of Division 1.6, Compatibility Group N, may only be transported together as Classifcation Code 1.6N when it is proven that there is no additional risk of sympathetic detonation between the articles. Otherwise they should be treated as Classifcation Code 1.1D. (4) When articles of Compatibility Group N are transported with articles or substances of Compatibility Groups C, D or E, the goods of Compatibility Group N must be treated as Compatibility Group D. (5) Articles or substances of Compatibility Group S (other than detonators) may be transported with explosives of any other Compatibility Group, other than Groups A and L, without affecting the Compatibility Groups of those explosives. This note is not intended to preclude the transport of detonators of Compatibility Group S being transported with detonators of Compatibility Group B. (6) Any combination of articles in Compatibility Groups C, D and E must be treated as Compatibility Group E. Any combination of substances in Compatibility Groups C and D must be treated as the most appropriate Compatibility Group taking into account the predominant characteristics of the combined load. (7) Explosives of Compatibility Group A may only be transported with the approval of and subject to conditions imposed by the Competent Authority. (8) Except detonators with other explosives.

(2) Appendix 9 lists goods which are prohibited for transport, unless specifed elsewhere in this Code or specifcally authorised by a Competent Authority. (3) For completeness Appendix 1 also lists dangerous goods, not being of Class 1, which fall into one of fve categories, namely those goods: (i) which with less phlegmatiser, dilutent or stabiliser would be of Class 1; (ii) where, if the goods were presented in a different form, (e.g. fner, of a different nitration level or with suffcient impurities) would be of Class 1; (iii) which may be required to bear a Class 1 subsidiary risk label; (iv) not of Class 1, which have a proper shipping name very similar to similar goods, being of Class 1; and (v) which are or are very similar to precursors for explosives. (4) Guide as to reading the alphabetical list: (i) the name of a substance or article in upper case indicates a proper shipping name; (ii) the name of a substance or article in upper case followed by the word “see” indicates an alternative proper shipping name or part of a proper shipping name; (iii) an entry in upper case followed by the word “see” indicates that the entry is not a proper shipping name; it is a synonym; (iv) where an entry is partly in upper case and partly in lower case letters, the latter part is considered not to be part of the proper shipping name; (v) a proper shipping name may be used in the singular or plural, as appropriate, for the purposes of documentation and package marking; and (vi) where an alphabetical entry has multiple un numbers listed, the numbers are listed in order of decreasing hazard division. 1.1 Guide as to how the Alphabetical Order has been Determined (1) Except as indicated below, the chemical entries under “name and description” are sorted in traditional chemical alphabetical order, all other entries are sorted rigorously alphabetically. (Case and spaces are ignored). Note: All entries for sulphur compounds are now spelt with an “f” in lieu of “ph”. “Sulfur” is the preferred spelling but “sulphur” may be used as an alternative [Similarly the preference is Caesium not Cesium and Aluminium not Aluminum]. AustrAliAn ExplosivEs CodE 101 A1 (2) to assist locating the proper shipping name or other entry some of the rules used are set out below. A. TreatmentofPrefxes–IgnoredPrefxes For the purpose of determining the alphabetical order, the following at the head of or elsewhere within the entry do not affect the order even when they form part of the entry unless the numerals, Greek letters or abbreviations are the only difference. in these instances the order is determined by the increasing natural numerical order or by the alphabetical order (Greek or English as the case may be) respectively. numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. and i, ii, iii, iv etc. Greek letters: e.g. Alpha –α, Beta – β, Gamma – γ and Omega –ω the abbreviations: cis refecting a particular type of stereoisomerism H meaning “indicated or added Hydrogen” m meaning meta n meaning normal N meaning “attached to nitrogen” o meaning ortho O meaning “attached to oxygen” p meaning para S meaning “attached to sulfur” sec meaning secondary tert meaning tertiary trans refecting a particular type of stereoisomerism B. Treatmentofprefxes–Non-ignoredprefxes Unlike the prefxes in A above, the following prefxes do determine the order for such names: Bi, CYClo, Epi, iso, nEo, pEr, Bis, tris, tEtrAKis; Greek prefxes denoting number such as: MONO, DI, TRI, TETRA, PENTA, ORTHO and PARA. Note: The simple numerical prefxes DI, TRI, TETRA, etc. are used to indicate a multiplicity of substituent suffxes, conjunctive components, replacement affxes, simple (i.e., un-substituted) substituent prefxes, and simple functional modifcation terms provided that there is no ambiguity. The multiplicative numerical prefxes BIS, TRIS, TETRAKIS, etc. are used to indicate a multiplicity of substituted substituent prefxes or functional modifcation terms. Such prefxes may also be used when the use of DI, TRI, TETRA, etc., could be ambiguous. C. Some examples of the preceding rules are as follows: “5-tert-ButYl-2,4,6 -trinitro-m-xYlEnE” would appear under “B”; “5-nitroBEnZotriAZol” would appear under “n”; “trinitroAnisolE” would appear under “t”. 102 AustrAliAn ExplosivEs CodE A1 D. In addition to the above, two other conventions have been adopted: The frst is used within an entry, which itself generally will commence (save for the leading letter) in lower case, where there exists a number of options. two instructive examples would be “Ammunition, small arms” and “Flares, aeroplane”. the convention adopted is that the “name and description” entry increases in numero-alpha order, save when there exists two or more of the same numero-alpha entries, when the order is established by the increase in the numerical order of the un number. the second is used when there exist, two or more identical proper shipping names. An instructive example would be “ArtiClEs, ExplosivE, n.o.s.”. the convention adopted is that the order of such proper shipping names is established by the increase in the numerical order of the un number.

However, when other dangerous goods are being transported with goods of Class 1, the provisions of Chapter 7 of this Code and the segregation provisions of Part 9 of the ADG Code may apply (if there is any confict refer to the Competent Authority). (2) Where a substance or article is specifcally listed by name in the Numerical List, it must be transported in accordance with the provisions in the list, which are appropriate for that substance or article. A “generic” or “not otherwise specifed” entry may be used to permit the transport of substances or articles which do not appear specifcally by name in the Numerical List. Such a substance or article may be transported only after its dangerous properties have been determined. The substance or article must then be classifed according to the Class defnitions and test criteria and the name in the Numerical List which most appropriately describes the substance or article must be used. The classifcation is to be approved by the appropriate Competent Authority. Any substance or article having or suspected of having explosive characteristics must frst be considered for inclusion in Class 1. (3) Some collective entries may be of the “generic” or “not otherwise specifed” type provided that this Code contains provisions ensuring safety, both by excluding extremely dangerous goods from normal transport and by covering all subsidiary risks inherent in some goods. (4) the numerical list does not include goods which are so dangerous that their transport is prohibited without a specifc exemption or determination from the Competent Authority. These are listed in Appendix 9, but it must be recognised that the list in Appendix 9 is not exhaustive and the absence of a substance from Appendix 9 must not be interpreted that that substance may be carried without special restrictions. inherent instability in goods may take different dangerous forms, for example, explosion, polymerization, with intense evolution of heat, or emission of toxic gases. in respect of most substances, such tendencies can be controlled by correct packing, dilution, stabilisation, addition of an inhibitor, refrigeration or other precautions. (5) Where precautionary measures are laid down in the numerical list in respect of a given substance or article (e.g. that it must be “stabilised” or “with x% water or phlegmatiser”) such substance or article may not normally be carried when these measures have not been taken, unless the item in question is listed elsewhere (e.g. Class 1) without any indication of, or with different, precautionary measures. Proper Shipping Name (PSN) 1.1 (1) the proper shipping name is that portion of the entry most accurately describing the goods in the numerical list, which is shown in upper-case characters (plus any numbers, Greek letters, ‘sec’, ‘tert’, and the letters m, n, o, p, which form an integral part of the name). An alternative proper shipping name may be shown in brackets following the main proper shipping name (such as BlACK poWdEr (GunpoWdEr)). portions of an entry appearing in lower case need not be considered as part of the proper shipping name but may be used. (2) When conjunctions such as “and” or “or” are in lower case or when segments of the name are punctuated by commas, the entire name of the entry need not necessarily be shown in the transport document or package markings. 128 AustrAliAn ExplosivEs CodE A2 (3) proper shipping names may be used in the singular or plural as appropriate. in addition, when qualifying words are used as part of the proper shipping name, their sequence on documentation or package markings is optional. For instance, “nitroGlYCErin solution in AlCoHol” May alternatively be shown as, “AlCoHol solution oF nitroGlYCErin”. Commercial or military names for goods of Class 1 which contain the proper shipping name supplemented by additional descriptive text may be used. (4) Many substances have an entry for both the liquid and solid state (see defnitions for liquid and solid in Section 1.2 of Chapter 1 of this Code), or for the solid and solution. these are allocated separate un numbers, which are not necessarily adjacent to each other. details are provided in the alphabetical list in Appendix 1, e.g.: propEllAnt, liQuid 1.3C un 0495 propEllAnt, solid 1.3C un 0499 (5) When temperature control is used to stabilise such substances to prevent the development of any dangerous excess pressure, then: (a) For liquids: where the sAdt is less than or equal to 50°C, the provisions of 7.1.6 of the AdG Code shall apply; (b) For gases: the conditions of transport shall be approved by the Competent Authority. 2.3 Genericor“NotOtherwiseSpecifed”(N.O.S.)NamesandTechnicalNames (1) Generic and “not otherwise specifed” Proper Shipping Names that are assigned to Special Provision 274 in Column 6 of the numerical list shall be supplemented with the technical or chemical group names unless a national law or international convention prohibits its disclosure if it is a controlled substance. For explosives of Class 1, the dangerous goods description may be supplemented by additional descriptive text to indicate commercial or military names. technical and chemical group names shall be entered in brackets immediately following the Proper Shipping Name. An appropriate modifer, such as “contains” or “containing” or other qualifying words such as “mixture”, “solution”, etc., and the percentage of the technical constituent may also be used. For example: un 3319 nitroGlYCErin MixturE, dEsEnsitisEd, solid, n.o.s., with more than 2% but not more than 10% nitroglycerin, by mass. (2) The technical name must be a recognised chemical or other name currently used in scientifc and technical handbooks, journals and texts. trade names must not be used for this purpose. (3) When a mixture of dangerous goods is described by one of the “n.o.s.” or “generic” entries to which special provision 274 has been allocated in the numerical list, not more than the two constituents which most predominantly contribute to the hazard or hazards of a mixture need to be shown, excluding controlled substances when their disclosure is prohibited by national law or international convention. if a package containing a mixture is labelled with any subsidiary risk label, one of the two technical names shown in brackets must be the name of the constituent, which compels the use of the subsidiary risk label. 2.4 Mixtures and Solutions Containing One Dangerous Substance (1) A mixture or solution containing a dangerous substance identifed by name in the Numerical List and one or more substances not subject to this Code must be treated according to the requirements given for the dangerous substance provided that the packaging is appropriate to the physical state of the mixture or solution, unless: (a) the mixture or solution is specifcally identifed by name in this Code; or (b) the entry in this Code specifcally indicates that it applies only to the pure substance; or AustrAliAn ExplosivEs CodE 129 A2 (c) the hazard Class, physical state or packing group of the solution or mixture is different from that of the dangerous substance; or (d) there is signifcant change in the measures to be taken in emergencies. (2) For solutions and mixtures treated according to the provisions given for the dangerous substance, the qualifying word “solution” or “MixturE”, as appropriate, must be added as part of the proper shipping name. in addition, the concentration of the solution or mixture may also be indicated. 2.5 Notes Regarding Columns the numerical list is divided into twelve Columns as follows: Column 1 “UN No.” - this Column contains the serial number assigned to the article or substance under the united nations system. Column 2 “Name and Description” - this Column contains the proper shipping names in uppercase characters, which may be followed by additional descriptive text presented in lowercase characters. proper shipping names may be shown in the plural where isomers of similar classifcation exist. Hydrates may be included under the proper shipping name for the anhydrous substance, as appropriate. unless otherwise indicated for an entry in this numerical list, the word “solution” in a proper shipping name means one or more named dangerous goods dissolved in a liquid. Column 3 “Class or Division” - this Column contains the Class or division and in the case of Class 1, the Compatibility Group assigned to the article or substance according to the classifcation system described in Chapter 2.1 of the UN Model Regulations as reproduced in Addendum 1 to this Appendix. Column 4 “Subsidiary Risk” - this Column contains the Class or division number of any important subsidiary risks which have been identifed by applying the classifcation system described in part 2 of the UN Model Regulations or the AdG Code. As advisory information this Column also identifes a dangerous goods as a marine pollutant or a severe marine pollutant. this information is provided to explain why imported shipments will have marine pollutant labels on them and if this Code is used for intrastate sea transport. Marine pollutants are indicated as follows: p - Marine pollutant pp - severe marine pollutant • - Marine pollutant only when containing 10% or more substance(s) identifed with ‘P’ or 1% or more substance(s) identifed with ‘PP’ in this Column. Column 5 “Packing Group” - this Column contains the un packing group number (i.e. i, ii or iii) assigned to the article or substance. if more than one packing group is indicated for the entry, the packing group of the substance or formulation to be transported must be determined, based on its properties, through application of the hazard grouping criteria as provided in part 2 of the UN Model Regulations or the AdG Code. Column 6 “Special Provisions” - this Column contains a number referring to any special provision(s) that are relevant to the article or substance as listed in Appendix 3 of this Code. special provisions apply to all the packing groups permitted for a particular substance or article unless the wording makes it otherwise apparent. 130 AustrAliAn ExplosivEs CodE A2 Column 7 “Limited Quantities” – the AdG Code allows some relaxations for limited quantities shipments. the requirements for such packages are given in Chapter 3.4 of the AdG Code. some of the goods in the numerical list of this Code may be packaged under these provisions. this Column provides the maximum quantity per inner packaging or article authorised for transport of the substance concerned according to the provisions for limited quantities in Chapter 3.4 of the AdG Code. the word “none” in this Column means that the article or substance is not permitted to be transported under the provisions of Chapter 3.4 of the AdG Code. Column 8 “Packing Instruction” - this Column contains alpha numeric codes which refer to the relevant packing instructions specifed in Appendix 4.1. The packing instructions indicate the packaging (including iBCs and large packagings), which may be used for the transport of substances and articles. A code including the letter “p” refers to packing instructions for the use of packagings. A code including the letters “iBC” refers to packing instructions for the use of iBCs. A code including the letters “lp” refers to packing instructions for the use of large packagings. When a particular code is not provided, it means the substance is not authorised in the type of packaging that may be used according to the packing instructions bearing that code. When n/A is included in the Column it means that the substance or article need not be packaged. Column 9 “Special Packing Provisions” - this Column contains alpha numeric codes which refer to the relevant special packing provisions specifed in Section 4.1.4 of the UN Model Regulations or the AdG Code. the special packing provisions indicate the special provisions for packaging (including iBCs and large packagings). A special packing provision including the letters “pp” refers to special packing provision applicable to the use of packing instructions bearing the code “p” in Appendix 4.1. A special packing provision including the letter “B” refers to special packing provision applicable to the use of packing instructions bearing the code “iBC” in Appendix 4.1. A special packing provision including the letter “l” refers to special packing provision applicable to packing instructions bearing the code “lp” in Appendix 4.1. Column 10 “Portable Tank and Bulk Containers / Instructions” - this Column contains a number preceded by the letter “t” which refers to the relevant instruction in Appendix 4.2 and 4.3 specifying the tank type(s) required for the transport of the substance in portable tanks. A “t” entry in Column 10 is also an indication that the substance may be transported in a suitable tank vehicle in accordance with Chapter 4.2 of the UN Model Regulations. A code including the letters “BK” refers to types of bulk containers used for the transport of bulk goods as specifed in Section 4.3.2 of the UN Model Regulations. Column 11 “Portable Tank and Bulk Containers / Special Provisions” - this Column contains a number preceded by the letters “tp” referring to any special provisions indicated in Appendix 4.2 and 4.3 that apply to the transport of the substance in portable tanks. Column 12 “Properties and Observations” - this column in some instances, provides criteria for when a substance or article is a dangerous goods and also, in some instances, allocates packing Groups.

Where goods present more than one type of risk, goods are assigned to Class and subsidiary risk according to the precedence of hazard principles set out in the AdG Code. the Class and subsidiary risk(s) (if any) of substances listed in Appendix 2 can be found, respectively, in Columns 3 and 4 of that Appendix. in addition to the assignment of dangerous goods to a Class and subsidiary risk, most dangerous goods (other than dangerous goods of Class 1, 2 and 7) are assigned to packing Groups, according to the degree of risk the goods present during transport. 132 AustrAliAn ExplosivEs CodE A2 N U M E R I C A L L I S T O F E X P L O S I V E S A N D R E L A T E D G O O D S U N N o P r o p e r S h i p p i n g N a m e a n d D e s c r i p t i o n C l a s s O r D i v i s i o n S u b R i s k P a c k i n g G r o u p S p e c i a l P r o v i s i o n s L i m i t e d Q t y P a c k a g e s a n d I B C s P o r t a b l e t a n k s & b u l k c o n t a i n e r s P r o p e r t i e s a n d O b s e r v a t i o n s I n s t r u c t i o n S p e c i a l P r o v i s i o n s I n s t r u c t i o n S p e c i a l P r o v i s i o n s ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 ) ( 4 ) ( 5 ) ( 6 ) ( 7 ) ( 8 ) ( 9 ) ( 1 0 ) ( 1 1 ) ( 1 2 ) 0 0 0 4 A M M o n i u M p i C r A t E d r y o r w e t t e d w i t h l e s s t h a n 1 0 % w a t e r , b y m a s s 1 . 1 d n o n E p 1 1 2 ( a ) , ( b ) o r ( c ) p p 2 6 s h o u l d b e s t o w e d a w a y f r o m e x p l o s i v e s c o n t a i n i n g c h l o r a t e s o r p e r c h l o r a t e s a n d f r o m l e a d a n d i t s c o m p o u n d s 0 0 0 5 C A r t r i d G E s F o r W E A p o n s w i t h b u r s t i n g c h a r g e † 1 . 1 F n o n E p 1 3 0 0 0 0 6 C A r t r i d G E s F o r W E A p o n s w i t h b u r s t i n g c h a r g e † 1 . 1 E n o n E p 1 3 0 l p 1 0 1 p p 6 7 l 1 0 0 0 7 C A r t r i d G E s F o r W E A p o n s w i t h b u r s t i n g c h a r g e † 1 . 2 F n o n E p 1 3 0 0 0 0 9 A M M u n i t i o n , i n C E n d i A r Y w i t h o r w i t h o u t b u r s t e r , e x p e l l i n g c h a r g e o r p r o p e l l i n g c h a r g e † 1 . 2 G n o n E p 1 3 0 l p 1 0 1 p p 6 7 l 1 0 0 1 0 A M M u n i t i o n , i n C E n d i A r Y w i t h o r w i t h o u t b u r s t e r , e x p e l l i n g c h a r g e o r p r o p e l l i n g c h a r g e † 1 . 3 G n o n E p 1 3 0 l p 1 0 1 p p 6 7 l 1 0 0 1 2 C A r t r i d G E s F o r W E A p o n s , i n E r t p r o J E C t i l E o r C A r t r i d G E s , s M A l l A r M s † 1 . 4 s n o n E p 1 3 0 0 0 1 4 C A r t r i d G E s F o r W E A p o n s , B l A n K o r C A r t r i d G E s , s M A l l A r M s , B l A n K † 1 . 4 s n o n E p 1 3 0 0 0 1 5 A M M u n i t i o n , s M o K E w i t h o r w i t h o u t b u r s t e r , e x p e l l i n g c h a r g e o r p r o p e l l i n g c h a r g e † 1 . 2 G 2 0 4 n o n E p 1 3 0 l p 1 0 1 p p 6 7 l 1 0 0 1 6 A M M u n i t i o n , s M o K E w i t h o r w i t h o u t b u r s t e r , e x p e l l i n g c h a r g e o r p r o p e l l i n g c h a r g e † 1 . 3 G 2 0 4 n o n E p 1 3 0 l p 1 0 1 p p 6 7 l 1 0 0 1 8 A M M u n i t i o n , t E A r -

However, Competent Authorities may approve transport of explosive substances and articles for special purposes under special conditions. Therefore entries have been included in Appendix 2 for “SUBSTANCES, EXPLOSIVE, NOT OTHERWISE SPECIFIED” and “ARTICLES, EXPLOSIVE, NOT OTHERWISE SPECIFIED”. It is the intention that these entries must be used only when no other method of operation is possible. (2) General entries such as “EXPLOSIVE, BLASTING, TYPE A” are used to allow for the transport of new substances. In preparing these requirements, military ammunition and explosives have been taken into consideration to the extent that they are likely to be transported by commercial carriers. (3) A number of substances and articles in Class 1 are described in Appendix 5. These descriptions are given because a term may not be well-known or may be at variance with its usage for regulatory purposes. (4) Class 1 is unique in that the type of packaging frequently has a decisive effect on the hazard and therefore on the assignment to a particular Division. The correct Division is determined by use of the procedures provided in this Addendum. 1. General (1) Class 1 comprises of: (a) Explosive substances (a substance which is not itself an explosive but which can form an explosive atmosphere of gas, vapour or dust is not included in Class 1), except those which are too dangerous to transport or those where the predominant hazard is one appropriate to another Class; (b) Explosive articles, except devices containing explosive substances in such quantity or of such a character that their inadvertent or accidental ignition or initiation during transport must not cause any effect external to the device either by projection, fre, smoke, heat or loud noise; and (c) substances and articles not mentioned under (a) and (b) which are manufactured with a view to producing a practical, explosive or pyrotechnic effect. (2) transport of explosive substances which are unduly sensitive, or so reactive as to be subject to spontaneous reaction, is prohibited. 2. Defnitions For the purposes of this Code, the following defnitions apply: (a) Explosive substance means a solid or liquid substance (or a mixture of substances) which is in itself capable by chemical reaction of producing gas at such a temperature and pressure and at such a speed as to cause damage to the surroundings. pyrotechnic substances are included even when they do not evolve gases; AustrAliAn ExplosivEs CodE 169 A2-I (b) Pyrotechnic substance means a substance or a mixture of substances designed to produce an effect by heat, light, sound, gas or smoke or a combination of these as the result of non- detonative self-sustaining exothermic chemical reactions; (c) Explosive article means an article containing one or more explosive substances; (d) Mass explosion means one which affects almost the entire load virtually instantaneously. 3. Hazard Divisions (1) the six Hazard divisions of Class 1 are: Division 1.1 Substances and articles which have a mass explosion hazard; Division 1.2 Substances and articles which have a projection hazard but not a mass explosion hazard; Division 1.3 Substances and articles, which have a fre hazard and either a minor blast hazard or a minor projection hazard or both, but not a mass explosion hazard. this division comprises substances and articles: (i) which give rise to considerable radiant heat; or (ii) which burn one after another, producing minor blast or projection effects, or both. Division 1.4 Substances and articles which present no signifcant hazard this division comprises substances and articles which present only a small hazard in the event of ignition or initiation during transport. the effects are largely confned to the package and no projection of fragments of appreciable size or range is to be expected. An external fre must not cause virtually instantaneous explosion of almost the entire contents of the package; Note: Substances and articles in this Division are in Compatibility Group S if they are so packaged or designed that any hazardous effects arising from the accidental functioning are confned within the package unless the package has been degraded by fre, in which case all blast or projection effects are limited to the extent that they do not signifcantly hinder fre fghting or other emergency response efforts in the immediate vicinity of the package. Division 1.5 Very insensitive substances which have a mass explosion hazard this division comprises substances which have a mass explosion hazard but are so insensitive that there is very little probability of initiation or of transition from burning to detonation under normal conditions of transport; Note: The probability of transition from burning to detonation is greater when large quantities are transported. Division 1.6 Extremely insensitive articles which do not have a mass explosion hazard this division comprises articles which contain only extremely insensitive detonating substances and which demonstrate a negligible probability of accidental initiation or propagation. Note: The risk from articles of Division 1.6 is limited to the explosion of a single article. (2) Any substance or article having or suspected of having explosive characteristics shall frst be considered for classifcation in Class 1 in accordance with the procedures in Section 8 of this 170 AustrAliAn ExplosivEs CodE A2-I Addendum. Goods are not classifed in Class 1 when: (a) unless specially authorised, the transport of an explosive substance is prohibited because sensitivity of the substance is excessive; (b) the substance or article comes within the scope of those explosive substances and articles which are specifcally excluded from Class 1 by the defnition of this Class; or (c) the substance or article has no explosive properties. 4. CompatibilityGroupsandClassifcationCodes Goods of Class 1 are considered to be “compatible” if they can be safely stowed or transported together without signifcantly increasing either the probability of an accident or, for a given quantity, the magnitude of the effects of such an accident. By this criterion, goods listed in this Class have been divided into a number of Compatibility Groups, each denoted by a letter from A to l (excluding i), n and s. these are described in section 6 of this Addendum. 5. FireworksLoadQuantityClassifcation Some jurisdictions may classify loads above certain quantities as Classifcation Code 1.1G irrespective of individual explosives packaging classifcations or classifcations by default. refer to section 2.5 of this Code.

Since the criterion of Compatibility Group s is an empirical one, assignment to this group is necessarily linked to the tests in the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria for assignment to division 1.4. 8. ClassifcationProcedure (1) Any substance or article having or suspected of having explosive characteristics shall be considered for classifcation in Class 1. Substances and articles classifed in Class 1 shall be assigned to the appropriate Division and Compatibility Group. Goods of Class 1 shall be classifed in accordance with the latest version of the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria. To determine the Classifcation Code of a substance or article which may be a Class 1, the appropriate tests under test series 1– 7 of the UN Manual of Test and Criteria are required to be carried out. (2) Except for substances, which are listed by their proper shipping name in Appendix 2 of this Code, goods must not be offered for transport as Class 1 until they have been subjected to the classifcation procedure in the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria. In addition, the classifcation procedure must be undertaken before a new product is offered for transport. in this context a new product is one which, in the opinion of the Competent Authority, involves any of the following: (a) a new explosive substance or a combination or a mixture of explosive substances, which is considered to be signifcantly different from other combinations or mixtures already classifed; (b) a new design of article or an article containing a new explosive substance or a new combination or mixture of explosive substances; (c) a new design of package for an explosive substance or article including a new type of inner packaging; Note: The importance of this may be overlooked unless it is realised that a relatively minor change in an inner or outer packaging can be critical and can convert a lesser risk into a higher or mass explosion risk. (d) a unit load unless all the packages have an identical hazard classifcation code. The resultant classifcation code must be applied to the unit load as a whole, treating it as if it were a package for the purposes of marking and labelling. (3) The producer or other applicant for classifcation of a product must provide adequate information AustrAliAn ExplosivEs CodE 173 A2-I concerning the names and characteristics of all explosive substances in the product and must furnish the results of all relevant tests which have been carried out. (4) Where testing is required, this is to be witnessed by a Competent Authority and be carried out in accordance with the latest version of the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, (5) A test report must be submitted to the Competent Authority of each jurisdiction in which classifcation is sought. In addition to details of test results as specifed in the latest version of the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, it must also contain specifc information on: (a) the composition of the substance or the structure of the article; (b) the quantity of substance or number of articles per test; (c) the type and construction of the packaging; (d) the test assembly, including in particular the nature, quantity and arrangement of the means of initiation or ignition used; (e) the course of the test, including in particular the time elapsing until the occurrence of the frst noteworthy reaction of the substance or article, the duration and characteristics of the reaction, and an estimate of the latter’s completeness; (f) the effect of the reaction on the immediate surroundings (up to 25 metres from the site of the test); (g) the effect of the reaction on the more remote surroundings (more than 25 metres from the site of the test); and (h) the atmospheric conditions during the test. (6) Verifcation of the classifcation must be undertaken if the substance or article or its packaging is degraded and the degradation might affect the behaviour of the item in the tests. (7) Assessment of the hazard division is usually made on the basis of test results. A substance or article must be assigned to the hazard division which corresponds to the results of the tests to which the substance or article, as offered for transport, has been subjected. other test results, and data assembled from accidents which have occurred, may also be taken into account. Assignment to a hazard division by analogy may also be acceptable where it is clear to the Competent Authority, from data presented, that the analogy can be made. (8) in the case of Compatibility Group s the tests may be waived by the Competent Authority if classifcation by analogy is possible using test results for a comparable article or substance and package confguration. (9) the Competent Authority may exclude an article or substance from Class 1 by virtue of test results and the Class 1 defnition. (10) Where a substance provisionally accepted into Class 1 is excluded from Class 1 by performing Test Series 6 on a specifc type and size of package, this substance, when meeting the classifcation criteria or defnition for another class or division, should be listed in either Addendum II to Appendix 3 or in the AdG Code in that class or division with a special provision restricting it to the type and size of package tested. (11) Where a substance is assigned to Class 1 but is diluted to be excluded from Class 1 by test series 6, this diluted substance, when meeting the classifcation criteria or defnition for another class or division, should be listed in Appendix 2 of this Code in that class or division, at the highest concentration which excluded it from Class 1 (see Addendum II of Appendix 3). When suffciently diluted, such substances may be deemed not to be subject to this Code. 174 AustrAliAn ExplosivEs CodE A2-I 9. Assignment of Fireworks to Hazard Divisions (1) Fireworks shall normally be assigned to Hazard divisions 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4 on the basis of test data derived from test series 6 of the UN Manual of Test and Criteria. However, since the range of such articles is very extensive and the availability of test facilities may be limited, assignment to Hazard divisions may also be made in accordance with the procedure in section 9(2) below. (2) Assignment of freworks to UN Nos. 0333, 0334, 0335 or 0336 may be made on the basis of analogy, without the need for Test Series 6 testing, in accordance with the Default Fireworks Classifcation Table in section 10 of this Addendum. such assignment must be made with the agreement of the Competent Authority. Items not specifed in the table must be classifed in accordance with the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria. Note: The addition of other types of freworks to Column 1 of the Table in Section 10 of this Addendum must only be made on the basis of full test data submitted to the UN Sub Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods for consideration. (3) Where freworks of more than one Hazard Division are packed in the same package they must be classifed on the basis of the highest Hazard Division unless test data derived from the UN Manual of Test and Criteria indicate otherwise. (4) The classifcation shown in the Table in Section 10 below applies only for articles packed in fbreboard boxes (4G). 10. DefaultFireworksClassifcationTable Note 1: This table contains a list of frework classifcations that may be used, with the agreement of the Competent Authority, in the absence of test series 6, of the UN Manual of Test and Criteria, data. Note 2: references to percentages in the table, unless otherwise stated, are to the mass of all pyrotechnic compositions (e.g., rocket motors, lifting charge, bursting charge and effect charge). Note 3: “Flash composition” in this table refers to pyrotechnic compositions in powder form or as pyrotechnic units as presented in the freworks, that are used to produce an aural effect, or used as a bursting charge or lifting charge, unless the time taken for the pressure rise is demonstrated to be more than 8 ms for 0.5 g of pyrotechnic composition in test series 2(c) (i) “time/pressure test” of the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria. Note 4: dimensions in mm refers to: for spherical and peanut shells the diameter of the sphere of the shell; (i) for cylinder shells the length of the shell; (ii) for a shell in mortar, Roman candle, shot tube frework or mine the inside diameter (iii) of the tube comprising or containing the frework; for a bag mine or cylinder mine, the inside diameter of the mortar intended to (iv) contain the mine. Note 5: Some freworks, despite their classifcation, are prohibited in some jusrisdictions.

AustrAliAn ExplosivEs CodE 183 A2-III ADDENDUM III TO APPENDIX 2 ASSIGNMENT OF PROPER SHIPPING NAME AND UN NUMBER TO MIXTURES AND UNLISTED SUBSTANCES 1.0 Unlisted Substances 1.1 All Unlisted Substances Where a substance, being a dangerous goods of Class 1, including a mixture, is not directly listed in Appendix 2 it must frst be assigned a Class and Subsidiary Risk (if any) in accordance with Addendum I of this Appendix. Classifcation is, in any case, required information for labelling, but it is also necessary for the selection of the n.o.s. name and corresponding un number which most accurately describes the substance within its Class and subsidiary risk. 1.2 Unlisted Technically Pure Substances For an unlisted technically pure substance, the n.o.s. name must be selected in accordance with section 1.1 (above). Where this n.o.s. name, as listed in Column 2 of Appendix 2 has sp274 against it, the name must be supplemented with the technical name of the substance in parenthesis immediately following the name. 2.0 Mixtures 2.1 For a mixture of listed or unlisted substances, where the n.o.s. name in Column 2 of Appendix 2 has sp274 against it, the technical names or proper shipping names of not more than two constituents which most predominantly contribute to the hazards of the mixture must be shown in parentheses immediately following the n.o.s. name. this requirement shall not apply to controlled substances when their disclosure is prohibited by national law or international convention and may not apply, with the approval of the Competent Authority, to un 0190. If classifcation demonstrates a Subsidiary Risk, then one of the two names must be that of the constituent compelling the Subsidiary Risk classifcation. 2.2 Where the technical name(s) in parentheses are of constituents in a mixture, a qualifying term such as ‘contains’ must be used to indicate a mixture rather than a pure compound. 184 AustrAliAn ExplosivEs CodE A3 APPENDIX 3 LIST OF SPECIAL PROVISIONS NOTES: (1) Appendix 3 contains a series of special provisions. these provisions have been adopted from the UN Model Regulations. (2) Each provision is numbered. Where Column 6 of Appendix 2 indicates that a special provision is relevant to particular dangerous goods the meaning and requirements of that special provision are as set forth below. (3) some special provisions merely contain helpful information in relation to the goods (see, for example, sp 226). (4) some special provisions qualify an entry in Appendix 2; for example, by specifying that certain of the dangerous goods named in Column 2 may be classifed in a particular way, (see, for example, SP 105), or that the entry applies only to goods of a particular description (see, for example, sp 178 and sp 266). (5) some special provisions specify the way in which dangerous goods are to be packaged, marked and transported (see, for example, sp 28 and sp 133). (6) some special provisions provide that the transport of goods to which the special provision applies may be prohibited (see, for example, SP 266). For the purposes of this Code, those goods are specifed as goods too dangerous to be transported. refer to Appendix 9 of this Code. (7) some special provisions provide that under certain conditions, some goods are not subject to the provisions of this Code. For the purposes of this Code, those goods are not dangerous goods (see, for example, sp 223 and sp 252). (8) some special provisions provide that a conduct in relation to a dangerous goods is prohibited unless “special authorisation” is granted by a Competent Authority*. Conduct of that description without such authorisation is not in accordance with this Code (see, for example, sp 272). * in order to obtain “special authorisation”, application should be made to the relevant Competent Authority (see section 1.5 of this Code). AustrAliAn ExplosivEs CodE 185 A3 3.1 List of Special Provisions SP No. Special Provision 16 samples of new or existing explosive substances or articles may be transported as directed by the Competent Authority for purposes including: testing, classifcation, research and development, quality control, or as a commercial sample. Explosive samples which are not wetted or desensitised shall be limited to 10kg in small packages as specifed by the Competent Authority. Explosive samples which are wetted or desensitised shall be limited to 25kg. 28 this substance may be transported under the provisions of division 4.1 only if it is so packed that the percentage of diluent will not fall below that stated, at any time during transport (refer to Addenda i and ii of this Appendix). 105 Nitrocellulose meeting the descriptions of UN 2556 or UN 2557 may be classifed in Division 4.1. 122 the subsidiary risks, control and emergency temperatures if any, and the generic entry number for each of the currently assigned organic peroxide formulations are given in section 2.5.3.2.4 of the AdG Code. 127 other inert material or inert material mixture may be used at the discretion of the Competent Authority, provided this inert material has identical phlegmatising properties. 131 The phlegmatised substance shall be signifcantly less sensitive than dry PETN. 132 during the course of transport, this substance shall be protected from direct sunshine and stored (or kept) in a cool and well ventilated place, away from all sources of heat. 133 If over-confned in packagings, this substance may exhibit explosive behaviour. Packagings authorised under packing instruction P409 are intended to prevent over-confnement. When a packaging other than those prescribed under packing instruction p409 is authorised by the Competent Authority, the package shall bear an “ExplosivE” subsidiary risk label (Model no.1 in Figure 3.1) unless the Competent Authority has permitted this label to be dispensed with for the specifc packaging employed because test data have proved that the substance in this packaging does not exhibit explosive behaviour. For export shipments the provisions of sections 7.2.8 and 7.1.7 of the iMdG Code shall also be considered. 152 The classifcation of this substance will vary with particle size and packaging, but borderlines have not been experimentally determined. Appropriate classifcations shall be made using the procedure as set out in section 8 of Addendum i to Appendix 2 of this Code. 178 this designation shall be used only when no other appropriate designation exists in the list, and only with the approval of the Competent Authority of the country of origin. 181 packages containing this type of substance shall bear the “ExplosivE” subsidiary risk label (Model no.1 in Figure 3.1) unless the Competent Authority has permitted this label to be dispensed with for the specifc packaging employed because test data have proved that the substance in this packaging does not exhibit explosive behaviour. the requirements of section 7.2.8 of the AdG Code shall also be considered. 186 in determining the ammonium nitrate content, all nitrate ions for which a molecular equivalent of ammonium ions is present in the mixture shall be calculated as ammonium nitrate. 193 this entry may only be used for uniform ammonium nitrate based fertiliser mixtures of the nitrogen, phosphate or potash type, containing not more than 70% ammonium nitrate and not more than 0.4% total combustible/organic material calculated as carbon or with not more than 45% ammonium nitrate and unrestricted combustible material. Fertilisers within these composition limits are not subject to the provisions of this Code when shown by a trough test (see UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, part iii, sub-section 38.2) that they are not liable to self-sustaining decomposition. 186 AustrAliAn ExplosivEs CodE A3 SP No. Special Provision 194 the control and emergency temperatures, if any, and the generic entry number for each of the currently assigned self-reactive substances are given in section 2.4.2.3.2.3 of the AdG Code. 195 For certain organic peroxides types B or C, a smaller packaging than that allowed by packing methods op5 or op6 respectively has to be used (see sections 4.1.7 and 2.5.3.2.4 of the AdG Code). 198 Nitrocellulose solutions containing not more than 20% nitrocellulose may be transported as paint or printing ink, as applicable. see un 1210, 1263, 3066, 3469 and 3470 in the AdG Code. 204 Articles containing smoke-producing substance(s) corrosive according to the criteria for Class 8 shall be labelled with a “CorrosivE” subsidiary risk label (see Model no. 8 of Figure 3.6). 215 this entry only applies to the technically pure substance or to formulations derived from it, having an sAdt higher than 75°C and, therefore, does not apply to formulations, which are self-reactive substance (for self-reactive substances, see section 2.4.2.3.2.3 of the AdG Code). Homogeneous mixtures containing not more than 35% by mass of azodicarbonamide and at least 65% of inert substance are not subject to this Code unless criteria of other Classes are met. 223 if the chemical or physical properties of a substance covered by this description are such that, when tested, it does not meet the established defning criteria for the Class or Division listed in Column 3 of Appendix 2, or any other Class or division, it is not subject to the provisions of this Code, except for sea transport where the substance may be a marine pollutant under Chapter 2.10 of the iMdG Code. 224 unless it can be demonstrated by testing that the sensitivity of the substance in its frozen state is no greater than in its liquid state, the substance shall remain liquid during normal transport conditions. it shall not freeze at temperatures above -15°C. 226 Formulations of these substances containing not less than 30 % non-volatile, non-fammable phlegmatiser are not subject to the provisions of this Code. 227 When phlegmatised with water and inorganic inert material, the content of urea nitrate may not exceed 75% by mass and the mixture shall not be capable of being detonated by the Series 1, Type (a) test in the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, part i. 235 this entry applies to articles which contain Class 1 explosive substances and which may also contain dangerous goods of other Classes.

(2) Except as provided in section 4.3(3) of this Appendix, bulk containers shall only be used when a substance is assigned a bulk container code in Column 10 of the numerical list in Appendix 2. (3) When a substance is not assigned a bulk container code in Column 10 of the numerical list in Appendix 2, interim approval for transport may be issued by the Competent Authority. the approval must be included in the documentation of the consignment and contain, as a minimum, the information normally provided in the bulk container instruction and the conditions under which the substance must be transported. Appropriate measures should be initiated by the Competent Authority to have the assignment included in the numerical list in Appendix 2. (4) substances which may become liquid at temperatures likely to be encountered during transport are not permitted in bulk containers. (5) Bulk containers must be sift-proof and must be so closed that none of the contents can escape under normal conditions of transport including the effect of vibration, or by changes of temperature, humidity or pressure. (6) Bulk solids must be loaded into bulk containers and evenly distributed in a manner that minimises movement that could result in damage to the container or leakage of the explosives. (7) Where venting devices are ftted, they must be kept clear and operable. (8) Bulk solids must not react dangerously with the material of the bulk container, gaskets, equipment including lids and tarpaulins, or with protective coatings, which are in contact with the contents, or signifcantly weaken them. Bulk containers must be so constructed or adapted that the goods cannot penetrate between wooden foor coverings or come into contact with those parts of the bulk containers that may be affected by the explosives or residues thereof. (9) Before being flled and offered for transport, each bulk container must be inspected and cleaned to ensure that it does not contain any residue on the interior or exterior that could: (a) cause a dangerous reaction with the substance intended for transport; (b) detrimentally affect the structural integrity of the bulk container; or (c) affect the explosives retention capabilities of the bulk container. (10) during transport, no dangerous residues must adhere to the outer surfaces of a bulk container. AustrAliAn ExplosivEs CodE 227 A4.3 (11) If several closure systems are ftted in series, the system which is located nearest to the dangerous goods to be transported must be closed frst before flling. (12) Empty bulk containers that have contained explosives must be treated in the same manner as is prescribed in this Code for a flled bulk container, unless adequate measures have been taken to nullify any hazard. (13) if bulk containers are used for the carriage of bulk goods liable to cause a dust explosion, or evolve fammable vapours (e.g. for certain wastes), measures must be taken to exclude sources of ignition and to prevent dangerous electrostatic discharge during transport loading or unloading of the goods. (14) substances, for example wastes, which may react dangerously with one another and substances of different Classes and goods not subject to this Code, which are liable to react dangerously with one another must not be mixed together in the same bulk container. dangerous reactions are: (a) combustion and/or evolution of considerable heat; (b) emission of fammable and/or toxic gases; (c) formation of corrosive liquids; or (d) formation of unstable substances. (15) Before a bulk container is flled, it must be visually examined to ensure it is structurally serviceable, its interior walls, ceiling and foors are free from protrusions or damage and that any inner liners or substance retaining equipment are free from rips, tears or any damage that would compromise its cargo retention capabilities. structurally serviceable means the bulk container does not have major defects in its structural components, such as top and bottom side rails, top and bottom end rails, door sill and header, foor cross members, corner posts, and corner fttings in a freight container. Major defects include: (a) bends, cracks or breaks in the structural or supporting members that affect the integrity of the container; (b) more than one splice or an improper splice (such as a lapped splice) in top or bottom end rails or door headers; (c) more than two splices in any one top or bottom side rail; (d) any splice in a door sill or corner post; (e) door hinges and hardware that are seized, twisted, broken, missing, or otherwise inoperative; (f) gaskets and seals that do not seal; (g) any distortion of the overall confguration great enough to prevent proper alignment of handling equipment, mounting and securing chassis or vehicle, or insertion into ships’ cargo spaces; (h) any damage to lifting attachments or handling equipment interface features; or (i) any damage to service or operational equipment. 228 AustrAliAn ExplosivEs CodE A5 APPENDIX 5 GLOSSARY OF TERMS USED TO DESCRIBE SOME SUBSTANCES AND ARTICLES AND RELATED EXPRESSIONS NOTES: (1) Appendix 5 contains a Glossary of terms used to describe some substances and articles and related expressions. the majority of entries in this Glossary are cross-referenced from Column 2 of Appendix 2 by a “†”. this Glossary is adopted from Appendix B of the UN Model Regulations, Fifteenth revised edition.

Explosive, defagrating A substance, e.g. propellant, which reacts by defagration rather than detonation when ignited and used in its normal manner. Explosive, detonating see detonating Explosive. Explosive, extremely insensitive detonating substance (EIDS) A substance which, although capable of sustaining a detonation, has demonstrated through tests that it is so insensitive that there is very little probability of accidental initiation. Explosive, primary Explosive substance manufactured with a view to producing a practical effect by explosion which is very sensitive to heat, impact or friction and which, even in very small quantities, either detonates or burns very rapidly. it is able to transmit detonation (in the case of initiating explosive) or defagration to secondary explosives close to it. The main primary explosives are tetrazene, mercury fulminate, lead azide and lead styphnate. Explosive, secondary Explosive substance which is relatively insensitive (when compared to primary explosives), which is usually initiated by primary explosives with or without the aid of boosters or supplementary charges. such an explosive may react as a defagrating or as a detonating explosive. Explosive substance refer to 2(a) of Addendum i to Appendix 2. FIREWORKS pyrotechnic articles designed for entertainment. FLARES means, articles containing pyrotechnic substances, which are designed for use to illuminate, identify, signal or warn. the term includes: FlArEs, AEriAl; and FlArEs, surFACE.

Fuse/Fuze Although these two words have a common origin (French fusée, fusil) and are sometimes considered to be different spellings, it is useful to maintain, in the English language, the convention that fuse refers to a cord-like igniting device whereas fuze refers to a device used in ammunition which incorporates mechanical, electrical, chemical or hydrostatic components to initiate a train by defagration or detonation. AustrAliAn ExplosivEs CodE 235 A5 FUSE, IGNITER, tubular, metal clad Article consisting of a metal tube with a core of defagrating explosive.

Ignition, means of A general term used in connection with the method employed to ignite a defagrating train of explosive or pyrotechnic substances (for example: a primer for a propelling charge; an igniter for a rocket motor; an igniting fuze). Initiation, means of (1) A device intended to cause the detonation of an explosive (for example: detonator; detonator for ammunition; detonating fuze). (2) the term “with its own means of initiation” means that the contrivance has its normal initiating device assembled to it and this device is considered to present a signifcant risk during transport but not one great enough to be unacceptable. the term does not apply, however, to a contrivance packed together with its means of initiation provided the device is packaged so as to eliminate the risk of causing detonation of the contrivance in the event of accidental functioning of the initiating device. the means of initiating can even be assembled to the contrivance provided there are protective features such that the device is very unlikely to cause detonation of the contrivance in conditions which are associated with transport. (3) For the purposes of classifcation any means of initiation without two effective protective features must be regarded as Compatibility Group B; an article with its own means of initiation, without two effective protective features, would be Compatibility Group F. on the other hand, a means of initiation which itself possesses two effective protective features would be Compatibility Group d; 236 AustrAliAn ExplosivEs CodE A5 Initiation, means of (continued) and an article with a means of initiation which possesses two effective protective features would be Compatibility Group d or E. Means of initiation adjudged as having two effective protective features shall have been approved by the appropriate Competent Authority. A common and effective way of achieving the necessary degree of protection is to use a means of initiation which incorporates two or more independent safety features. Initiatory compositions initiatory compositions are physical mixtures of two or more ingredients which include highly sensitive chemicals such as; lead azide; silver azide; mercury fulminate; lead styphnate; tetrazene; heavy metal salts of 5-nitrotetrazole; lead 2, 4-dinitroresorcinate; and diazodinitrophenol. these mixtures are very sensitive to one or more stimuli such as heat, impact, percussion, electric charge and friction. they are used mainly in cap type primers and detonators to initiate an explosive event after being subjected to such stimuli. JET PERFORATING GUNS, CHARGED, oil well, without detonator Articles consisting of a steel tube or metallic strip, into which are inserted shaped charges connected by detonating cord, without means of initiation.

AustrAliAn ExplosivEs CodE 243 A7 APPENDIX 7 HAZCHEM CODES NOTES: (1) the Hazchem Code is fully titled “Hazchem Emergency Action Code”. in European publications, it is now frequently referred to simply as “Emergency Action Code” or “EAC”. (2) Further detail on the allocation of Hazchem Codes may be found in the AdG Code. 1. General (1) A Hazchem Code refects the initial emergency response recommended in a dangerous situation such as leakage, spillage or fre involving the dangerous goods to which it relates. It offers guidance only on emergency responses. (2) A Hazchem Code is required to be displayed on tanks, iBCs and/or vehicles when conveying dangerous goods of Class 1, as required by section 3.7.2 of this Code. (3) the Hazchem Code is composed of a number, followed by one or more letters as detailed in Appendix C, C2.2–C2.6 of the AdG Code. 2. Hazchem Code Allocation to Explosives (1) Because of the unacceptable risk in fghting a fre involving most types of explosives, it is not appropriate to assign a Hazchem Code other than “E”. the table below shall be used to determine the appropriate Hazchem Code, if any, for the load. Division Assigned to the Load Hazchem Code to be Assigned 1.1 E 1.2 E 1.3 E 1.4 1YE 1.5 E 1.6 E (2) Where ‘E’ alone is quoted as a Hazchem Code, fre fghting is considered inappropriate. the evacuation procedures in the Emergency procedure Guide should be followed. 3. Extinguishing Media (1) The frefghting extinguishing media is determined by reference to the frst character of the Hazchem Code as follows: 1 denotes coarse water spray 2 denotes fne water spray 3 denotes normal foam – i.e. protein based foam that is not alcohol resistant 4 denotes dry agent - water Must not be allowed to come into contact with substance. Note: Any higher number than the one shown can be used but a lower number must not be used. 244 AustrAliAn ExplosivEs CodE A7 (2) the table below shows the meaning of each of the letters used in the second part of the Hazchem Code. The letters indicate the precautions to be taken in the event of a fre or spillage. Letter Risk of Violent Reaction or Explosion Recommended Personal Protective Equipment Appropriate Measures p Yes liquid–tight chemical protective clothing and breathing apparatus dilute r no s Yes Full fre kit and breathing apparatus t no W Yes liquid-tight chemical protective clothing and breathing apparatus Contain x no Y Yes Full fre kit and breathing apparatus Z no Note: For further details refer to Sections 2 to 6 of this Appendix. 4. Personal Protection Where the second character of the Hazchem Code is S, T, Y or Z, normal frefghting clothing is appropriate, i.e. self-contained open circuit positive pressure compressed air breathing apparatus, worn in combination with fre kit, frefghters gloves and frefghters’ boots. Where the second character of the Hazchem Code is p, r, W or x, liquid-tight chemical protective clothing in combination with breathing apparatus should be used. Note 1: Leather boots may not provide adequate chemical resistance and therefore caution should be exercised in their use. Note 2: Letters S, T, Y and Z, which in previous editions of this Code were shown in reverse printing or square brackets for some dangerous goods, are now always shown in normal print, indicating that breathing apparatus should be used for all signifcant incidents. 5. Violent Reaction Where the second character of the Hazchem Code is a p, s, W or Y there is a danger that the substance can be violently or explosively reactive. this danger may be present due to one of the following: (a) violent or explosive decomposition of the material involved, including ignition or friction. (b) The ignition of a fammable gas or vapour cloud (this danger exists for all fammable gases and fammable liquids with a fash point below 60.5 °C. (c) the rapid acceleration of combustion due to the involvement of an oxidiser. (d) A reaction with water which is itself violent, and may also evolve fammable gases. the actual dangers present can be determined from the placards on vehicles or containers, or by reference to the Classes, divisions and subsidiary risks shown on the transport document. AustrAliAn ExplosivEs CodE 245 A7 6. Contain/Dilute Where the second character of the Hazchem Code is W, x, Y or Z spillages and decontamination run-off should be prevented from entering drains and watercourses. Where the second character of the code is p, r, s or t spillages and decontamination run-off may be washed to drains with large quantities of water. due care must however still be exercised to avoid unnecessary pollution of watercourses. Note: Ideally most contamination and decontamination run-off should be contained. However, this will not always be practical for normal emergency services operations, as life saving operational procedures must take precedence over other considerations at the scene of an incident. Nevertheless, all steps that are reasonably practicable should be taken to contain contaminants and the emergency service should always inform the environmental authority as soon as possible so that appropriate advice can be given. 7. “E” Evacuation As indicated in 2 (2) above, where ‘E’ alone is quoted as the Hazchem Code, fre fghting is considered inappropriate. the evacuation procedures in the Emergency procedure Guide should be followed. An ‘E’ following the frst two characters of the Hazchem Code indicates that there may be a public safety hazard outside the immediate area of the incident, and that the following actions should be considered: (a) people should be warned to stay indoors with all doors and windows closed, preferably in rooms upstairs and facing away from the incident. ignition sources should be eliminated and any ventilation stopped. (b) Effects may spread beyond the immediate vicinity. All non-essential personnel should be instructed to move at least 250 metres away from the incident. police and Fire Brigade incident commanders should consult each other and with a product expert, or with a source of product expertise. (c) the possible need for subsequent evacuation should be considered, but it should be remembered that in most cases it will be safer to remain in a building than to evacuate. some situations where evacuation may be necessary are listed in the following table. EXAMPLES ASSESSMENT 1.(i) Smoke from product fre which is allowed to burn out. (often safest and least environmentally damaging option.) (ii) small/low concentration long lasting toxic emission. 1. nuisance effects will last several hours. smoke or gas concentrations in open air are unpleasant but short-term exposure is not likely to be dangerous. 2. A larger long lasting toxic gas emission which will be carried towards an inhabited area after a predicted wind change not due for at least two hours. 2. Area considered for evacuation will not be exposed to signifcant danger for at least an hour, preferably longer. 3. Evacuation of people from an isolated house in the country may be feasible, possibly using additional BA sets. 3. downwind area is very sparsely populated and resources are available to protect people during their evacuation. 4.(i) righting a loaded road tanker or rail tank wagon, especially one carrying a liquefed gas. (ii) recovering or clearing petrol from drains. 4. Area considered for evacuation could be exposed to danger as a result of actions necessary to restore normality at a time determined by the recovery team. 246 AustrAliAn ExplosivEs CodE A8 APPENDIX 8 LIST OF SUBSTANCES AND ARTICLES AGAINST THEIR CLASSIFICATION CODE NOTE: in this list, substances and articles of the same Classification Code have been placed in increasing un number order.

In those cases, the goods named in this list are also named in the Numerical Listing in Appendix 2 of this Code. in those cases, the goods named in this list are also named in the dangerous Goods list in the AdG Code. An entry in the dangerous Goods list in the AdG Code describes goods of that name that may be transported. For example, it may be possible to transport a substance in compliance with this Code, or the AdG Code, after mixing it with diluents, stabilisers, inhibitors, desensitisers, phlegmatisers, solvents, wetting agents or adulterants, as specifed in the Dangerous Goods List in the ADG Code, to overcome the instability inherent in the goods. The entry in this Appendix refers to goods that do not meet the description specifed in the dangerous Goods list in the AdG Code and any associated special provisions of that Code or Appendix 3 of this Code. 3. the list below is not an exhaustive listing of goods too dangerous to be transported, see section 2.1(4) of Appendix 2. 4. A Competent Authority may determine that other goods are to be classifed as goods too dangerous to be transported, or that goods listed in this Appendix are not too dangerous to be transported. 5. some state and territory legislation, that embodies the principles of the noHsC national standard on the storage and Handling of dangerous Goods, makes reference to this list and assigns a label or placard to these goods, for use when they are kept on premises. the use of that label/placard is not authorised by this Code for transport purposes.
