Explosionsgefährliche

Explosionsgefährliche is an adjective used in German safety language to describe substances or articles that pose a risk of explosion. It is commonly attached to nouns such as Stoffe or Erzeugnisse to indicate an explosive hazard. In regulatory practice, the term appears in hazard communication and labeling, particularly within German-speaking contexts. In international classification, explosive materials are designated as class 1 explosives under the UN Model Regulations and are subject to European transport rules (ADR/RID/ADN). Materials labeled as explosionhazard must be properly labeled, packaged, stored, and transported, with documentation including the proper shipping name, UN number, class, and packing group. Signs and safety data sheets may use phrases like "explosionsgefährlich" or "Explosivstoffe" to warn handlers.

Handling and safety: Work with explosivstoffe or explosionsgefährliche Stoffe requires specialized facilities, training, and protective measures. Avoid ignition sources, friction, impact, and static discharge; control temperature and segregate from oxidizers and many acids; use sealed, certified containers and appropriate personal protective equipment; ensure adequate ventilation and spill containment. Transport and storage are subject to legal rules, including segregation, monitoring, and emergency procedures.

Nuance: The term denotes hazard presence rather than a specific chemical identity. For precise classification, consult the applicable regulations and the substance’s safety data sheet. The German term is primarily a hazard-labeling convention and should not substitute for official classification when handling or transporting potentially explosive materials.
