7 CCR 1101-9-4-2 - Classes of Explosive Materials and Examples

For the purposes of this article, there are three classes of explosive materials. These classes, together with the description of explosive materials comprising each class, are as follows:

(A) High Explosives - Explosive materials which can be caused to detonate by means of a detonator when unconfined. Examples include:

(1) Dynamite and detonators;

(2) Detonator-sensitive slurry/water gels and emulsions; and

(3) Mixed binaries.

(B) Low Explosives - Explosive materials which can be caused to deflagrate when confined. Examples include:

(1) Black powder;

(2) Pull wire igniters; and

(3) Safety fuse.

(C) Blasting Agents - Explosives materials consisting of fuel and oxidizer which cannot be detonated by means of a number 8 test detonator when unconfined. Examples include:

(1) Ammonium Nitrate/Fuel Oil mixture (ANFO); and

(2) Non detonator-sensitive slurry/water gels and emulsion products.
