Code	Description	Open
`62`	Oxygen generators (see §171.8) are not authorized for transportation under this entry.	View
`64`	The group of alkali metals includes lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, and caesium.	View
`65`	The group of alkaline earth metals includes magnesium, calcium, strontium, and barium.	View
`66`	Formulations of these substances containing not less than 30 percent non-volatile, non-flammable phlegmatizer are not subject to this subchapter.	View
`70`	Black powder that has been classed in accordance with the requirements of §173.56 may be reclassed and offered for domestic transportation as a Division 4.1 material if it is offered for transportation and transported in accordance with the limitations and packaging requirements of §173.170.	View
`74`	During transport, this material must be protected from direct sunshine and stored or kept in a cool and well-ventilated place, away from all sources of heat.	View
`78`	Mixtures of nitrogen and oxygen containing not less than 19.5% and not more than 23.5% oxygen by volume may be transported under this entry when no other oxidizing gases are present. A Division 5.1 subsidiary hazard label is not required for any concentrations within this limit. Compressed air containing greater than 23.5% oxygen by volume must be shipped using the description “Compressed gas, oxidizing, n.o.s., UN3156.”	View
`79`	This entry may not be used for mixtures that meet the definition for oxidizing gas.	View
`81`	Polychlorinated biphenyl items, as defined in §761.3, for which specification packagings are impractical, may be packaged in non-specification packagings meeting the general packaging requirements of subparts A and B of part 173 of this subchapter. Alternatively, the item itself may be used as a packaging if it meets the general packaging requirements of subparts A and B of part 173 of this subchapter.	View
`101`	The name of the particular substance or article must be specified.	View
`102`	The ends of the detonating cord must be tied fast so that the explosive cannot escape. The articles may be transported as in Division 1.4 Compatibility Group D (1.4D) if all of the conditions specified in §173.63 are met.	View
`105`	The word “Agents” may be used instead of “Explosives” when approved by the Associate Administrator.	View
`106`	The recognized name of the particular explosive may be specified in addition to the type.	View

`107`	The classification of the substance is expected to vary especially with the particle size and packaging but the border lines have not been experimentally determined; appropriate classifications should be verified following the test procedures in §173.57 and §173.58.	View
`108`	Fireworks must be so constructed and packaged that loose pyrotechnic composition will not be present in packages during transportation.	View
`109`	Rocket motors must be nonpropulsive in transportation unless approved in accordance with §173.56. A rocket motor to be considered “nonpropulsive” must be capable of unrestrained burning and must not appreciably move in any direction when ignited by any means.	View
`110`	Fire extinguishers transported under UN1044 and oxygen cylinders transported for emergency use under UN1072 may include installed actuating cartridges (cartridges, power device of Division 1.4C or 1.4S), without changing the classification of Division 2.2, provided the aggregate quantity of deflagrating (propellant) explosives does not exceed 3.2 grams per cylinder. Oxygen cylinders with installed actuating cartridges as prepared for transportation must have an effective means of preventing inadvertent activation.	View
`111`	Explosive substances of Division 1.1 Compatibility Group A (1.1A) are forbidden for transportation if dry or not desensitized, unless incorporated in a device.	View
`113`	The sample must be given a tentative approval by an agency or laboratory in accordance with §173.56.	View
`114`	Jet perforating guns, charged, oil well, without detonator may be reclassed to Division 1.4 Compatibility Group D (1.4D) if the following conditions are met: a. The total weight of the explosive contents of the shaped charges assembled in the guns does not exceed 90.5 kg (200 pounds) per vehicle; and b. The guns are packaged in accordance with Packing Method US 1 as specified in §173.62.	View
`115`	Boosters with detonator, detonator assemblies and boosters with detonators in which the total explosive charge per unit does not exceed 25 g, and which will not mass detonate and undergo only limited propagation in the shipping package may be assigned to 1.4B classification code. Mass detonate means more than 90 percent of the devices tested in a package explode practically simultaneously. Limited propagation means that if one booster near the center of the package is exploded, the aggregate weight of explosives, excluding ignition and delay charges, in this and all additional boosters in the outside packaging that explode may not exceed 25 g.	View
`116`	Fuzes, detonating may be classed in Division 1.4 if the fuzes do not contain more than 25 g of explosive per fuze and are made and packaged so that they will not cause functioning of other fuzes, explosives or other explosive devices if one of the fuzes detonates in a shipping packaging or in adjacent packages.	View
`117`	If shipment of the explosive substance is to take place at a time that freezing weather is anticipated, the water contained in the explosive substance must be mixed with denatured alcohol so that freezing will not occur.	View
`118`	This substance may not be transported under the provisions of Division 4.1 unless specifically authorized by the Associate Administrator (see UN0143 or UN0150 as appropriate).	View
`119`	This substance, when in quantities of not more than 11.5 kg (25.3 pounds), with not less than 10 percent water, by mass, also may be classed as Division 4.1, provided a negative test result is obtained when tested in accordance with test series 6(c) of the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria (IBR, see §171.7).
