110. Storage or transport of more than one Hazard Division together



(1) If a person-

   (a)  stores or transports together explosives of more than one Hazard
        Division; and

   (b)  a provision of these Regulations requires that a collective Hazard
        Division be determined for those explosives-

the person must determine the collective Hazard Division in accordance with
subregulations (2) and (3).

(2) The collective Hazard Division of explosives of 2 different Hazard
Divisions is determined by taking the Hazard Division of one explosive in the
vertical Hazard Division column of Table 110, and the Hazard Division of the
other explosive in the horizontal Hazard Division column of the Table, and
reaching the place in the Table that the 2 columns intersect.
