These values are either listed in A11.5 or may be derived using theprocedure in A11.4.HArticle--A manufactured item, containing a hazardous material or substance, in a specific shape or design whichend use is dependent on the shape or design. The shape or design prevents loss of hazardous contents during normalconditions of transport.Atmospheric Pressure--Atmospheric pressure is 101.3kPa (14.7 psi).Bag--A flexible packaging made of paper, plastic film textiles, woven material or other similar materials.Bottle--An inner packaging having a neck of relatively smaller cross section than the body and an opening capableof holding a closure for retention of the contents.Box--A packaging with complete rectangular or polygonal faces made of metal, wood, plywood, reconstitutedwood, fiberboard, plastic, or other suitable material.Bulk Packaging--A packaging, with no intermediate form of containment, that has a maximum capacity greater than400 kg (882 lbs) or 450 L (119 gallons).Class 1 (Explosives)--Any substance or article (including a device) which is designed to function by explosion (i.e.,an extremely rapid release of gas and heat). Unless the substance or article is otherwise classed in table A4.1, theterm "explosive" may also refer to an item that is able to produce a chemical reaction within itself and is able tofunction in a similar manner even if not designed to function by explosion. Explosives in Class 1 are divided intosix divisions as follows:-Division 1.1--Consists of explosives that have a mass explosion hazard. A mass explosion is one whichaffects almost the entire load instantaneously.-Division 1.2--Consists of explosives that have a projection hazard but not a mass explosion hazard.-Division 1.3--Consists of explosives that have a fire hazard and a minor blast hazard or a minor projectionhazard (or both), but not a mass explosion hazard.-Division 1.4--Consists of explosive devices that present a minor explosion hazard. The explosive effectsare largely confined to the package and no projection of fragments of appreciable size or range is to beexpected. An external fire must not cause virtually instantaneous explosion of almost the entire contents of thepackage.-Division 1.5--Consists of very insensitive explosives. This division is comprised of substances which havea mass explosion hazard but are so insensitive that there is very little probability of initiation or of transitionfrom burning to detonation under normal transportation conditions.-Division 1.6--Consists of extremely insensitive articles that do not have a mass explosion hazard. Thisdivision is comprised of articles which contain only extremely insensitive detonating substances and which
