Compatibility Group 3
Compatibility Group 3 : Letters identify explosives that are deemed to be compatible. The definition of these Compatibility Groups in this Glossary are intended to be descriptive. Please consult the transportation of dangerous goods/hazardous materials or explosives regulations of your jurisdiction for the exact wording of the definitions. Class 1 materials are considered to be "compatible" if they can be transported together without significantly increasing either the probability of an incident or, for a given quantity, the magnitude of the effects of such an incident. (A) Substances which are expected to mass detonate very soon after fire reaches them. (B) Articles which are expected to mass detonate very soon after fire reaches them. (C) Substances or articles which may be readily ignited and burn violently without necessarily exploding. (D) Substances or articles which may mass detonate (with blast and/or fragment hazard) when exposed to fire. (E&F) Articles which may mass detonate in a fire. (G) Substances and articles which may mass explode and give off smoke or toxic gases. (H) Articles which in a fire may eject hazardous projectiles and dense white smoke. (J) Articles which may mass explode. (K) Articles which in a fire may eject hazardous projectiles and toxic gases. (L) Substances and articles which present a special risk and could be activated by exposure to air or water. (N) Articles which contain only extremely insensitive detonating substances and demonstrate a negligible probability of accidental ignition or propagation. (S) Packaged substances or articles which, if accidentally initiated, produce effects that are usually confined to the immediate vicinity
