Exclusion from Class 1

An article or a substance may be excluded from Class 1 by virtue of test results and the Class 1
definition with the approval of the competent authority of any ADR Contracting Party who may also
recognize an approval granted by the competent authority of a country which is not an ADR
Contracting Party provided that this approval has been granted in accordance with the procedures
applicable according to RID, ADR, ADN, the IMDG Code or the ICAO Technical Instructions.

With the approval of the competent authority in accordance with 2.2.1.1.8.1, an article may be
excluded from Class 1 when three unpackaged articles, each individually activated by its own means
of initiation or ignition or external means to function in the designed mode, meet the following test
criteria:
(a) No external surface shall have a temperature of more than 65 °C. A momentary spike in
temperature up to 200 ºC is acceptable;
(b) No rupture or fragmentation of the external casing or movement of the article or detached parts
thereof of more than one metre in any direction;
NOTE: Where the integrity of the article may be affected in the event of an external fire these
criteria shall be examined by a fire test, such as described in ISO 12097-3.
(c) No audible report exceeding 135 dB(C) peak at a distance of one metre;
(d) No flash or flame capable of igniting a material such as a sheet of 80 ± 10 g/m² paper in
contact with the article; and
(e) No production of smoke, fumes or dust in such quantities that the visibility in a one cubic
metre chamber equipped with appropriately sized blow out panels is reduced more than 50% as
measured by a calibrated light (lux) meter or radiometer located one metre from a constant
light source located at the midpoint on opposite walls. The general guidance on Optical
Density Testing in ISO 5659-1 and the general guidance on the Photometric System described
in Section 7.5 in ISO 5659-2 may be used or similar optical density measurement methods
designed to accomplish the same purpose may also be employed. A suitable hood cover
surrounding the back and sides of the light meter shall be used to minimize effects of scattered
or leaking light not emitted directly from the source.
NOTE 1: If during the tests addressing criteria (a), (b), (c) and (d) no or very little smoke is observed
the test described in (e) may be waived.
NOTE 2: The competent authority referred to in 2.2.1.1.8.1 may require testing in packaged form if it
is determined that, as packaged for carriage, the article may pose a greater risk.
