60. The factory and every part thereof shall be maintained in accordance with the license, and no material alteration in the factory, either by enlarging or adding to the site, or by externally enlarging or adding to any building thereon, or by altering any mound otherwise than by enlargement, or by making any new work shall be made except by permission in writing of the Minister.

65. Every factory-magazine and expense magazine shall have attached thereto a sufficient lightning-conductor, unless by reason of the construction by excavation, or the position of such magazine, or otherwise, an Inspector of Explosives considers a conductor unnecessary; and every danger building shall, if so required by an Inspector of Explosives, have attached thereto a sufficient lightning-conductor.

Charcoal, whether ground or otherwise, or oiled cotton, oiled rags, or oiled waste, or any article whatever liable to spontaneous ignition, shall not be taken into any danger building except for the purpose of immediate supply and work or immediate use in such building, and upon the cessation of such work or use shall be forthwith removed.

67. Before repairs are made to or in any room in or other part of a danger building, that room or part shall, so far as practicable, be cleaned by the removal of all explosives and wholly or partly mixed ingredients thereof, and by the thorough washing of such room or part; and such room or part of the building after being so cleaned shall not be deemed to be a danger building within the meaning of these regulations until explosives, or any ingredient thereof which either by itself is possessed of explosive properties, or which when mixed with any other ingredient or article also present in such building is capable of forming an explosive mixture or an explosive compound, are again taken into it.

68. There shall be constantly kept affixed to every danger building, either outside or inside, in such manner as to be easily read, a statement of the quantities of explosive or ingredients allowed to be in the building, and a copy of these regulations, and of any parts of the said Act
