(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.

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.

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 as so 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.
