ABSTRACT

Once a material has been classified, it is included in the long list of dangerous goods, an alphabetic list of common articles and substances providing details of classification, labelling, and rules regarding its transportation. Class 1 contains all explosives, and is subdivided into six divisions with the respect to the materials behaviour in a fire, such as its propensity for mass detonation or mass explosion or for creating a mass fire hazard, see Table 14.
