Powder storage regs seem to be missing???

[umcoles]

Good Afternoon Reloaders,
I have been pouring over the explosives act looking for the ciations others have put here and i can't find any references to powder/primer storage requirements. I am looking here

http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/PDF/E-17.pdf

Am i looking at the wrong thing or has something gone missing??

Also looked here

http://www.nrcan.gc.ca/smm-mms/expl-expl/hoa-cmm-nov09-eng.htm

It is bugging me now because i signed a log sheet at Cabela's today first time ever in 10 years of reloading activities. I want to make sure i am in compliance with NRCAN regs and can't find any in the Explosives act or the web page. Are they just strolling along the modernization project or what is happening here?

Did you check the Regulation to the Explosives Act?

If memory serves, smokeless powder is not classified as explosives, but flamable solids. Black powder may be considered explosive.

Ah HA! Found the reg, thanks Grinch!

Your memory is bad, smokeless powder is a class 1.3C explosive, black powder is 1.1D.

Smokeless is classified as a flammable solid only in the USA. Canada has of course a different opinion.

I thought the NRCAN video on the modernization page was entertaining.
