| An explosive substance, that is to say—
which is capable by chemical reaction in itself of producing gas at such a temperature and pressure and at such a speed as could cause damage to surroundings or which is designed to produce an effect by heat, light, sound, gas or smoke or a combination of these as a result of non-detonative self-sustaining exothermic chemical reactions; including one or more such substances contained in an article. (See Note) | Class I: Division 1.1, 1.2 or 1.3 |  (The Division number “1.2” and Compatibility Group letter “E” shown are only examples). |
| Division 1.4 |  (The Compatibility Group letter “G” shown is only an example). For explosives of hazard (I classification code 1.4~, “1.4S” may appear in the upper half of the label ()I may be shown on its own without the orange label.
