ADR special provision 568

Barium azide wetted below the stated water content is an explosive, Class 1, UN 0224.

If barium azide contains less water than the limit given in its Table A entry, it is no longer this entry: it is treated as a Class 1 explosive under UN 0224.

Note. The water-content limit itself is in the Table A name of the entry, not in the provision.

Carried by 1 Table A entry
