The majority of forbidden dangerous goods are extremely shock-sensitive explosives or explosives that become unstable when subjected to conditions normally incident to transportation [4] [5].
Forbidden material may include [6] :
- Electrical devices that generate sparks or excessive heat
- Excessively magnetic material
- Incompatible materials transported in the same container
- Materials that decompose or polymerize violently under normal conditions
- Materials that give off flammable vapour concentration
- Materials that detonate in a fire
- Specifically forbidden materials that have been involved in transportation incidents in the past
