Jet thrust units (jato), Class A explosives. Igniters, jet thrust (jato), Class A explosives.

Metal cylinders containing a
mixture of chemicals capable
of burning rapidly and pro-
ducing considerable pressure.
Under certain conditions the
chemical fuel with which
the unit is loaded may
explode.

ICC regulations require that
igniters must not be shipped
assembled in the units unless
shipped by, for, or to the
Departments of the Army,
Navy, or Air Force of the
U. S. Government.
Each outside package must be
plainly marked "Jet thrust
units, Class A explosives"
or "Igniters, jet thrust,
Class A explosives," as ap-
propriate.

Propellant explosives, Propellant explosives, Class A

Class A.

are solid chemicals or chemical mixtures which are designed to function by rapid combustion of successive layers, generally with little or no smoke. The combustion is controlled by composition, size, and form of grain. Propellant explosives, Class A, include some types of smokeless powder and some types of solid propellant explosives for jet thrust units, rockets or other devices.

Each outside container must be plainly marked: "Propellant explosives, Class A".

Rocket ammunition with explosive projectiles. Rocket ammunition with gas projectiles. Rocket ammunition with smoke projectiles. Rocket ammunition with incendiary projectiles. Rocket ammunition with illuminating projectiles.

Unstable explosies Explosive compositions that ignite spontaneously. Explosive compositions that undergo marked decomposition when subjected for 48 consecutive hours to a temperature of 167° F. Explosive compositions containing an ammonium salt and a chlorate.

Rocket ammunition is fixed ammunition which is fired from a tube, launcher, rails, trough, or other device, consisting of an igniter and propelling charge commonly described as a motor, and explosive projectile, gas projectile, smoke projectile, incendiary projectile, or illuminating projectile, fuzed or unfuzed.

ICC packing regulations require that detonating fuzes, tracer fuzes, explosive or ignition devices, bouchons or fuze parts with explosives contained therein, must not be assembled in ammunition or included in the same outside package unless shipped by, or or to the Departments of the Army, Navy, or Air Force of the U. S. Government, or unless of a type approved by the Bureau of Explosives.

Each outside package must be plainly marked with the appropriate descriptive name of the contents as: "Rocket ammunition with explosive projectiles," "Rocket ammunition with gas projectiles," "Rocket ammunition with smoke projectiles," "Rocket ammunition with incendiary projectiles," or "Rocket ammunition with illuminating projectiles."
