TABLETests for Authorizing Explosives
1 Tests for physical properties — including consistency, reaction rate, rate of moisture-absorption, tendency for separation, exudation, behaviour at both high and low temperatures, density and specific gravity
2 Tests for chemical composition — including the determination of the percentage of each ingredient in the explosive
3 Tests for stability — including the determination of the stability of the explosive by subjecting it to varying environmental conditions, such as high temperatures, that might produce spontaneous ignition of the explosive or a variation of its sensitivity
4 Tests for ignition behaviour
5 Tests to determine the potential for mass explosion in a fire
6 Tests to determine whether ignition of an explosive article might ignite other explosive articles when stored or transported together
7 Tests for mechanical sensitivity — including sensitivity to friction and impact
8 Tests for sensitivity to electrostatic discharge
9 Tests for sympathetic initiation and detonation
10 Tests for velocity of detonation
11 Tests for explosive strength
12 Tests for or calculation of the composition of gases that evolve on explosion
13 Performance tests
14 Tests for minimum burning pressure
15 Packaging tests
16 Any other tests that are necessary for the purpose of authorizing an explosive
