Authorized
List of Explosives
Any explosive
that is to be imported into or manufactured, transported, possessed
or used in Canada must appear on the List of Authorized Explosives
or be covered by a permit, certificate or special authority issued
by ERD for special tests or product trials. Note that explosives
include propellants, ammunition, fireworks, model rockets and toy
pistol caps, as well as blasting explosives. A testing protocol
is established for authorization and classification of Class 1 (Explosives)
and this testing helps to establish the UN classification. Following
a review of submitted specifications for the product, this testing
protocol may be initiated if further assurances are required or
if the product is new in the field. Testing is used to determine
the safety of the product and conformity with the manufacturer's
specifications. These tests establish criteria for storage, transportation
and general use of the product.
