Abstract
Military explosive devices (infantry, artillery and rocket munitions, anti-personnel, anti-tank and mortar shells, aviation and navy ammunition, explosives, bombs, etc.) are objects filled with explosive substances (initial and high explosives, propellants, pyrotechnic mixtures) classified in Class 1 of dangerous substances, subclasses 1.1 to 1.6. In view of and taking into account the structural, chemical, physical and other characteristics of explosive devices, all prescribed safety and protection measures must be observed, covering the time of their production, storage, preservation, maintenance, handling, transporting, use and destruction.
Military explosive devices that, for whatever reason, cannot be of further use and are therefore written off as run out, defective, dangerous to human life and the environment or deemed unnecessary are destroyed, or brought to a state of permanent and total safety to human life and the environment. Also destroyed are explosive materials which failed to explode after use, as well as explosives found during demining of minefields after war. The destruction procedure is to be carried out in the prescribed manner with all measures of safety and protection to employees, other participants and the environment.
