Please I need people opinion now.
The proposed changes to the December 2010 version are:
• Revising terminology to harmonize with the Explosives Regulations, 2013; as well as addressing the authorization of small arms cartridges with tracers, which can now be considered for authorization in conformity with the Explosives Regulations, 2013 for commercial sale if determined to be safe from causing a brush fire when used.
• The method by which small arms cartridges are authorised and listed on the list of authorized explosives (section 2.1)
o 2010 Version: Small arms cartridges were authorized by calibre and projectile type.
o 2014 Version: We propose to authorize small arms cartridges by calibre only. For example, .222 Remington.
• The exclusion of the National Standard of Canada CAN/CGSB 43.151-97, Packaging of Explosives (Class 1) for Transportation for the marking of packages of small arms cartridges in Limited Quantities (section 4.1 and Annex A)
o 2010 Version: Does not make reference to labelling for transport in Limited Quantities
o 2014 Version: Differentiates the labelling requirements for the transport of small arms cartridges and components in Limited Quantities.
Please find attached a copy of the Guidelines for Authorization of Cartridges (September 2014) which includes the proposed changes. If you have any comments or suggestions, please send them to the address below before October 30, 2014.
