Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 0780-02-15-.08 - PLOSOPHORIC MATERIALS OR BINARY MATERIALS

(1) Mixed or combined plosophoric materials are explosive materials and shall be stored and used in the same manner.

(2) Storage. Plosophoric materials shall be permitted to be stored in the same magazine with explosive materials, provided their total weight is included in the weight of explosives permitted in the magazine in order to comply with the quantity-distance requirements of the American Table of Distances for Storage of Explosives. Storage shall not introduce a hazard due to chemical incompatibility.

(3) Use

(a) Binary or plosophoric materials shall be mixed or combined at the point of use and the procedures recommended by the manufacturer shall be followed strictly.

(b) Because the mixing or combining of plosophoric components produces an explosive material, the number of packages of the binary/plosophoic material combined at any one time shall be limited to the number needed for immediate use. The Commissioner or his or her authorized representative may waive this limitation upon appropriate request; provided, the extra binary/plosophoric material produced can be handled and stored in the same manner as explosive material.

(4) Record Keeping and Reporting

(a) Thefts of plosophoric materials during transportation, storage and use shall be reported to the Commissioner or his or her authorized representative and law enforcement, as required for loss or thefts of explosive materials.
