本法规（49 CFR § 173.58）规定了美国境内新型爆炸品在运输分类中确定其危险类别（Class 1）及具体分项（Division 1.1-1.6）的强制性测试标准。除基础测试外，不同分项需执行UN《试验和标准手册》或《爆炸物试验手册》中的特定附加测试（如外部火灾、慢速烘烤、弹道冲击等）。只有当物质通过所有指定测试且符合特定判据（如无大规模爆炸风险、为极不敏感起爆物质EIDS等）时，方可归入相应低风险分项或排除出爆炸品类别。该条款直接决定货物的申报代码、包装要求及运输限制条件。

(a) Division 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4 explosives. In addition to the test prescribed in § 173.57 of this subchapter, a substance or article in these divisions must be subjected to Test Methods 6(a), 6(b), and 6(c), as described in the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria (IBR, see § 171.7 of this subchapter), for assignment to an appropriate division. The criteria for assignment of class and division are as follows:

- (1) Division 1.1 if the major hazard is mass explosion;

- (2) Division 1.2 if the major hazard is dangerous projections;

- (3) Division 1.3 if the major hazard is radiant heat or violent burning, or both, but there is no blast or projection hazard;

- (4) Division 1.4 if there is a small hazard with no mass explosion and no projection of fragments of appreciable size or range;

- (5) Division 1.4 Compatibility Group S (1.4S) if the hazardous effects are confined within the package or the blast and projection effects do not significantly hinder emergency response efforts. The UN Test Type 6(d) is used to determine whether a Division 1.4S classification is appropriate for an item assigned a proper shipping name to which special provision 347 ( see § 172.102 of this subchapter) applies; or

- (6) Not in the explosive class if the substance or article does not have significant explosive hazard or if the effects of explosion are completely confined within the article.

(b) Division 1.5 explosive. Except for ANFO, a substance that has been examined in accordance with the provisions § 173.57(a) of this subchapter, must be subjected to the following additional tests: Cap Sensitivity Test, Princess Incendiary Spark Test, DDT Test, and External Fire Test, each as described in the Explosive Test Manual. A material may not be classed as a Division 1.5 explosive if any of the following occurs:

- (1) Detonation occurs in the Cap Sensitivity Test (Test Method 5(a));

- (2) Detonation occurs in the DDT Test (Test Method 5(b)(ii));

- (3) An explosion, evidenced by a loud noise and projection of fragments, occurs in the External Fire Test (Test Method 5(c), or

- (4) Ignition or explosion occurs in the Princess Incendiary Spark Test (Test Method 5(d)).

(c) Division 1.6 explosive. (1) In order to be classed as a 1.6 explosive, an article must pass all of the following tests, as prescribed in the Explosive Test Manual:
(i) The 1.6 Article External Fire Test;

- (ii) The 1.6 Article Slow Cook-off Test;

- (iii) The 1.6 Article Propagation Test; and

- (iv) The 1.6 Article Bullet Impact Test.

- (2) A substance intended for use as the explosive load in an article of Division 1.6 must be an extremely insensitive detonating substance (EIDS). In order to determine if a substance is an EIDS, it must be subjected to the tests in paragraphs (c)(2)(i) through (c)(2)(x) of this section, which are described in the Explosive Test Manual. The substance must be tested in the form (i.e., composition, granulation, density, etc.) in which it is to be used in the article. A substance is not an EIDS if it fails any of the following tests:

(i) The Drop Weight Impact Sensitivity Test;

- (ii) The Friction Sensitivity Test;

- (iii) The Thermal Sensitivity Test at 75 °C (167 °F);

- (iv) The Small Scale Burning Test;

(v) The EIDS Cap Test;

- (vi) The EIDS Gap Test;

- (vii) The Susan Test;

- (viii) The EIDS Bullet Impact Test;

- (ix) The EIDS External Fire Test; and

(x) The EIDS Slow Cook-off Test.
(d) The Associate Administrator may waive or modify certain test(s) identified in §§ 173.57 and 173.58 of this subchapter, or require additional testing, if appropriate. In addition, the Associate Administrator may limit the quantity of explosive in a device.
(e) Each explosive is assigned a compatibility group letter by the Associate Administrator based on the criteria prescribed in § 173.52(b) of this subchapter.
