F. With respect to explosive of the Sixth (Ammunition)
Class,—
(i.) An explosive of the First Division shall be contained
in a box, barrel, or case of wood, metal, or other
solid material, and of such strength, construction,
and character that it will not be broken or acci-
dentally opened, or become defective or insecure,
whilst being conveyed, and will not allow any
explosive to escape.

(ii.) As to explosives of the Second Division,—
(a.) A shell or torpedo containing any explosive
material, whether such shell or torpedo be separate
or form part of a rocket or other appliance, shall
be packed in such manner as may be specially
directed by an Inspector with reference to such
explosive.
(b.) An explosive material when made up into
a cartridge or charge for cannon, shells, mines,
blasting, or other like purposes, shall be packed
in the manner required for the same explosive
material when not so made up: Provided that,
where a double package is required, the enclosing
case of each such cartridge or charge, if it satisfies
the conditions required for the inner package,
may be held to be such inner package.
(c.) Any other explosive of the Second Division
shall be packed in a box, barrel, or case of wood,
metal, or other solid material, and of such
strength, construction, and character that it will
not be broken or accidentally opened, or become
defective or insecure, whilst being conveyed, and
will not allow any explosive to escape; and any one
such package shall not contain more than 100 lb.
of ammunition, except with the consent of and
under conditions approved by an Inspector.

(iii.) An explosive of the Third Division shall be packed
in a double package. The inner package shall be
a substantial case, bag, canister, or other covering,
made and closed so as to prevent any explosive
from escaping, and shall not contain more than
2 lb. of such explosive. The outer package shall
be a box, barrel, or case of wood, metal, or other
solid material, and shall be of such strength, con-
struction, and character that it will not be broken
or accidentally opened, or become defective or in-
secure, whilst being conveyed, and will not allow
any explosive to escape; and any one such outer
package shall not contain more than 50 lb., except
with the consent of and under conditions approved
by an Inspector: Provided that, in the case of
detonators, the following general conditions shall
be observed, in addition to all other general con-
ditions relating to the packing for conveyance of
explosives of the Third Division of the Sixth
(Ammunition) Class :—
(a.) The detonators, and the spaces between the
detonators, and the spaces between the sides of
the inner package and the detonators therein,
shall all be filled, as far as practicable, with fine
sawdust or other similar material; a layer of
cotton wool, or other soft elastic material, shall
be placed between each end of each detonator and
the interior of the inner package in which the
same is placed, in such manner and so secured
that both ends of each detonator will rest upon
the cotton wool, or other material used in place of
cotton wool. Every inner package, if of metal,
must be lined throughout with paper or other soft
material.
(b.) When the number of detonators to be
packed for conveyance exceeds in all 1,000, or
when a greater number than 1,000 has, subject
to any special conditions, been approved by an
Inspector (which he is hereby authorised to do),
then, if the number of detonators to be packed
for conveyance exceeds the number so approved,
all the inner packages containing detonators
shall be placed inside a substantial case of wood
or metal, made and closed so as to prevent
any of the inner packages escaping therefrom;
and such case shall be placed inside the outer
package required in the case of explosives of the
Third Division of the Sixth (Ammunition) Class
packed for conveyance, and so secured as to
leave a clear space of not less than 3 in. between
every part of the interior of such outer package
and such inner case, and such clear space may be
either filled with sawdust or with straw, or other
soft or elastic substance, or may contain a light
framework of wood, or wooden battens, so arranged
as to keep such case in such position as aforesaid
with respect to the outer package.
(c.) The conveyance of detonators is hereby

prohibited, except the same take place subject
to the foregoing conditions and restrictions.
(iv.) Whatever be the amount of the explosive, and to
whatever division it belong,—
(a.) The interior of every package, whether
single or double, shall be kept free from grit and
otherwise clean.
(b.) No package, whether single or double, when
actually used for the packing of one description
of ammunition, shall, except with the consent of
and under conditions approved by an Inspector,
be used for the packing of any other description
of ammunition, or for any other purpose: Pro-
vided that, with explosive of the First Division,
there may be packed any article not of an in-
flammable or explosive character, or liable to
cause fire or explosion.
(c.) On the outermost package there shall be
affixed in conspicuous characters, by means of a
brand or securely attached label or other mark,
in the case of percussion-caps and of safety-fuse
for blasting, the words “Percussion-caps” or
“Safety-fuse for Blasting,” as the case may be,
with the name and address of the owner or sender,
and in the case of any other ammunition the
word “Explosive,” with the name of the ex-
plosive, followed by the words “Ammunition,
Division 1” (or 2, or 3, as the case may be), and
the name and address of the owner or sender;
also in the case of cartridges and charges for
cannon, shells, mines, blasting, or other like pur-
poses, the name of the explosive material con-
tained in such cartridges or charges shall be
given, thus :—
