Explanatory Note.

(Thu Note is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general purport).

Regulation 4 of the principal regulations is amended so as to provide a partial exemption for safety cartridges used in industrial fastening tools from the general provisions relating to the storage of explosives.

These regulations amend the Tables to regulations $4, 92, 99, 139, 153, 199, 170 and 176 respectively of the principal regulations in respect of matters of detail in order to bring those rogulations into line with recent amendments made by Minister of Transport's Standing Advisory Committee to the recommendations contained in that Committee's report entitled "The Carriage of Dangerous Goods and Explosives in Ships" upon which, subject to adeptation, the principal regula- dona are based.

A new Part XA is added to the principal regulations following the creation of dangerous goods category 9A in the Dangerous Goods (Classification) (Amend- ment) Regulations 1966. Certain substances and articles formerly included in categories 8 and 9 have been removed therefrom and incorporated into category PA. The substances or articles in this new category may be manufactured, processed or stored without licence, but the storage of quantities above certain limits must be notified to the Director of Fire Services who may impose con- ditions as to storage. A distinction is made between premises which are also used for residential purposes or in any other way otherwise than for industrial purposes or which are in a building in which there are other premises used for residential purposes otherwise than for the purposes of an industrial undertaking and buildings used wholly for industrial purposes. The first type of premises are usually situated in multi-storey buildings where the risk of large scale loss of life and property in the event of a fire is high. Accordingly the quantities of combustible goods which may be stored on such premises without notification ure lower than in the case of a building which is used wholly for industrial purposes. The most important substance included in the new category is poly- styrene (formerly included in category B) Other plastics which have similar combustible characteristics are included in the regulations for the first time.
