sec.5 References to mass of explosive
In this regulation, a reference to the mass of an explosive is, unless stated to be a reference to the gross weight of the explosive, a reference to the mass of explosive material contained in the explosive. The gross weight of a box of distress signals might be 25kg, but the distress signals in the box might contain 2kg of explosive material. If this regulation stated a maximum amount for distress signals of 5kg, the box of distress signals would be less than the maximum amount.
