Abstract:

When the Department of Defense DoD revised its hazard classification guidelines in Technical Bulletin TB 700-2, NAVSEAINST 8020.8B, TO 1 1A-1-47, DLAR 8220,1 dated 5 January 1998 1, it significantly changed the procedures used to determine the explosive classification of rocket motors, to be shipped or placed in DoD storage facilities. The revised test protocols outlined in this document, hereafter referred to as TB 700-2 are far more conservative and costly to implement than the previous ones.
