dangerous substances and articles

12

Class 1 - EXPLOSIVES
Explosive substance
Solid or liquid which is in itself capable by chemical reaction of
producing gas at such a temperature and pressure and such a
speed as to cause damage to the surroundings.

Pyrotechnic substance
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
reaction.

Explosive article
article containing one or more explosive substances

Mass explosion
one which affects almost the entire load virtually instantaneously.

Class 2 - GASES
Definitions
Gas -at 50C has vapour pressure greather than 300kPa

-is completely gaseous at 20C at standard pressure of 101.3kPa

condition of gas described according is physical state:
Compressed gas
for transport under pressure entirely gaseous at 20C

Liquefied gas
is partially liquid at 20C

Refrigereted liquefied gas

is partially liquid because its low temperature

Gas in solution

compressed gas is dissolved in a solvent

11/23/2014

16

Class 2 - GASES
Subdivisions
2.1 Flammable gases
are ignitable at 20 C and a standard pressure of 101.3 kPa

2.2

Non-flammable, non-toxic gases

Asphyxiant
Oxidizing
Do not come under the other classe
pressure not less than 280 kPa at 20 C or as refrigereted

2.3
11/23/2014

Toxic gases
to pose a hazard to health

LC50

Class 3 - FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS

Definitions
Flammable liquids
liquids, or mixtures of liquids, or liquids containing solids in
solution or suspension which give off a flammable vapour at or
below 61C c.c
cloused cup test / open-cup test

Flashpoint
is the lowest temperature of the liquid at which its vapour
forms an ignitable mixture with air

11/23/2014

18

Class 4 - FLAMMABLE SOLIDS

Subdivisions
4.1 Flammable solids

are readily comustible or may cause or contribute to fire through

friction, self-reactive substances which are liable to undergo a
strongly exothermic reaction, solid desensitized explosives which
may explode if not diluted sufficiently.

4.2 Substances liable to spontaneous combustion

solid and liquids which are liable to spontaneous heating under
normal conditions encountered in transport, or to heating up in
contact with air, and being then liable to catch fire.

4.3 Substances which, in contact with water,

emit flammable gases
solid and liquids wich by interaction with water, are liable to
become spontaneously flammable or give off flammable gases in
11/23/2014
19
dangerous quantities.

Class 4 - FLAMMABLE SOLIDS

4.1 Flammable solids
combustible solids and solids which may cause fire through friction.
Readily

combustible solids

powdered, granular or pasty substances which are dangerous if they

can be easily ignited by brief contact with an ignition source,
such as a burning match, and if the flame spreads rapidly.
Self-reactive substances
Are thermally unstable substances liable to undergo a strongly
exothermix decomposition even without participation of oxygen.
Solid desensitized explosives
are explosives which are wetted with water or alcohols or are
diluted with other substances to form a homogeneous solid
mixture to suppress their explosive properties.
11/23/2014

20

Class 4 - FLAMMABLE SOLIDS

4.2 Substances liable to spontaneous combustion

Pyrophoric substances
which are substances, including mixtures and solutions, which even in
small quantities, ignite 5 minutes of coming into contact with air.
Self- heating substances
Which are substances, other than pyrophoric substances, which, in
contact with air without energy suplly, are liable to self-heating.

Class 5 - OXIDIZING & ORGANIC

PEROXIDES

Subdivisions
5.1 Oxidizing substances
which, while in themselves not necessarily combustible, may,
generally by yielding oxygen, cause or contribute to the
combustion of other material.
5.2 Organic peroxides
are thermally unstable substances which may undergo exothermic
self-accelerating decomposition.
- be liable to explosive decomposition
- burn rapidly
- be sensitive to impact or friction
- react dangerously with other substances
11/23/2014

- cause damage to the eyes

Class 6 - TOXIC AND INFECTIOUS

Subdivision

6.1 Toxic substance

Substance liable either to cause death or serious injury or to harm
human health if swallowed or inhaled, or by skin contact

6.2 Infectious substances
