The classification of explosives in accordance with GHS is based on the system defined in the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Model Regulations. In many cases, classification of explosives depends on certain transport packaging. This approach results in that a number of classified explosives, after removal from the transport packaging, being placed in to another division and compatibility group, what is not communicated by the hazard communication elements appearing on the label. Experts of the GHS Sub-Committee from 2015 have been taking action to change the system of explosives classification, so that the criteria allow for proper assessment of the hazard posed by a specific explosive in a configuration other than for transport.
