What does HD 1.1 mean?
Mass explosion hazard
Explosive substances and articles that have a mass explosion hazard giving rise to blast and both high and low velocity projections.
A mass explosion is one which affects almost the entire load virtually instantaneously.
Define HD 1.2.1 and 1.2.2
HD 1.2.1 munitions that contain a high explosive charge and may also contain a propelling or pyrotechnic charge. These items will have an NEQ greater than 0.73kg.
HD 1.2.2 munitions that contain a high explosive charge and may also contain a propelling or pyrotechnic charge. These munitions will have an NEQ equal to or less than 0.73kg.
Define HD 1.3.3
HD 1.3.3 – Producing a mass fire effect.
Consists of the more hazardous items of HD 1.3 and are more likely to be bulk packed gun propellants which produce a fireball with intense radiant heat, firebrands and some fragments.
Define HD 1.3.4
HD 1.3.4 - Not producing a mass fire effect.
Consists of the less hazardous items of HD 1.3 that produce a moderate fire with moderate projections and firebrands.
Define HD 1.4
HD 1.4 - No significant Hazard
Comprises explosive substances and articles which present no significant hazard and which present a small hazard in the event of ignition or initiation during storage or transport.
How many compatibility groups are there?
13
Define CG B
Article containing a primary explosive substance and not containing two or more effective protective features. Dets
Define CG D
Secondary detonating explosive substance or Black Powder or article containing a secondary detonating explosive substance, in each case without (its own) means of initiation and without a propelling charge, or article containing a primary explosive substance and containing two or more effective features.
Define CG H
An article containing both an explosive substance and white phosphorus.
Define CG S
Substance or article so packed or designed than any hazardous effects arising from accidental functioning are confined within the package unless that package has been degraded by fire e.g. SAA.
