Dangerous Substances Act 2004

The regulations are to provide a scheme for regulating the handling of explosives.

However, subsection (1) does not require all aspects of the handling of all explosives to be licensed.

A regulation may make provision in relation to explosives, including, for example—

the explosives that may or must not be handled, including—

the authorisation, control and prohibition of explosives for this Act; and

the composition, testing and classification of explosives; and

the kinds of handling of explosives that must be authorised by a licence or by regulation; and

the packing, labelling and storage of explosives; and

the qualifications, training and experience of people to handle explosives; and

the authorisation of people to handle explosives; and

the authorisation of vehicles to carry explosives and the routes over which explosives may or must not be carried; and

the purposes for which, and the circumstances in which, explosives may or must not be handled; and

the duties of people, including reporting and notification requirements, in relation to explosives; and

the advertising, display and sale of explosives; and

the making and keeping of records in relation to explosives and their inspection.

A regulation may also make provision in relation to dangerous substances, and other substances, that can be used to manufacture explosives.
