Explanatory Note.
(This Note is not part of the repulations, but is intended to indicate their general purport).
These regulations set out the dangerous goods to which the Dangerous Goods Ordinance, 1958, is applicable, each substance being classified under one of nine categories according to the nature of the ubstance. In view of the large number of substances and articles to be classified under "explosives" (Category 1), po detailed list of explosives has been included; instead, reference is made to the lists of Government And commercial explosives set out in the Report of the Departmental Committee appointed by the Minister of Transport to consider the Existing Rules relating to the Carriage of Dangerous Goods and Explosives in Ships, dated 18th November, 1961.
2. In order to give an indication of the comparative danger which may arise, each substance is further classified into one of the following port classés, namely, A, B, C and D, with explosives in a separate port class E and petroleum in bulk in a separate port class F. Particular reference is made to these port classes in the Dangerous Goods (Shipping) Regulations, 1956.
