(This Note is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general purport).
These reguladons amend the principal regulations consequential upon the introduction of the Dangerous Goods (General) (Amendment) Regulations 1966,
** A number of substances included in Category 94 have been removed from Category 8 and Category 9 since they are not dangerous as readily combustible substances or substances liable to spontaneous combustion. Whils the substances are not inherently dangerous special circumstances in Hong Kong require that certain controls be imposed on their storage. The creation of new category in these regulations provides the most convenient vehicle for achieving such control.
3. Regulation 2 exempts the substances or articles set out in new Category 9A from the application of sections $ to 9 of the Ordinance (which require the obtaining of Ucances for the storage or transport of all containers of such goods with a notice of their dangerous character). Regulations governing this Category have been made by the Dangerous Goods (General) (Aroendment) Regulations 1966.
