SCHEDULE 2

SPECIAL PROVISIONS

This Schedule gives the text of the special provisions that apply to dangerous goods. The numbers of the special provisions in this Schedule correspond to the numbers in column 5 of Schedule 1. Each UN number that has the special provision against it is included in italics at the end of each special provision.

1 If these explosives contain chlorates, they must not be packed in the same means of containment with explosives containing ammonium nitrate or any other ammonium salt. In addition, if these explosives are to be transported in the same means of transport with explosives containing ammonium nitrate or any other ammonium salt, they must be separated from those explosives so that there will be no reaction in the event of an accident.
