Regulations controlling the sale of ammonium nitrate
Wednesday, June 29, 2011
NAVA have been asked by the National Counter Terrorism Security
Office to ensure that NAVA members are aware of the risks
associated with the sale of ammonium nitrate.
There are now regulations controlling the sale of ammonium
nitrate. These controls revolve around a 'Code of Practice for the
Transfer and Traceability of Fertiliser Classified as Dangerous
Goods'. The majority of AN is manufactured abroad, and can only be
imported into and sold in the UK if accompanied by a certifcate
that shows the consignment has passed a Detonation Resistance Test
(DRT).
All auctioneers have been asked to adhere to the above to ensure
that ammonium nitrate does not end up in the hands of extremists.
