GORMLEY, Ontario CAN — Cesaroni Technology Incorporated (CTI) is pleased to announce that as a result of successful completion of the UN Series 6 burn tests by the Canadian Explosives Research Laboratory (CERL), the Explosives Regulatory Division of National Resources Canada has reclassified Pro38 rocket motor reload kits as 1.4C explosives.
Note that this is true classification, NOT an exemption! These long awaited results mean that Pro38(R) reload kits can now be shipped far more economically than before, and thus will be more accessible to dealers and consumers.
The full classification is as follows: Canadian Classification - 7.2.5; UN Classification Code - 1.4C; UN Number - 0351; Proper Shipping Name - Articles, Explosives, <N.O.S>.; Packing Group - II; UN Packing Instruction 101. The packaging system for this product was designed from the outset to achieve 1.4C classification, and as a result remains identical: Outer Package - 4G fibreboard box; Inner Package - Fibreboard tubes.
CTI is now submitting the full test report and technical specifications to the US Department of Transportation, in order to reclassify the product for US shipping purposes. Expected turnaround time on this application is approximately one month, so please stay tuned for further details.
CTI is also testing modified versions of the existing Pro38 reload kits with 62.5 gram versus the current 64.5 gram grain weights. This preparatory move is in response to the current regulatory environment in the US regarding LEUP requirements. No official plans regarding TMT testing or release are available at this point.
In addition to the above work, CTI has been busy testing new propellant formulations designed to deliver high Isp along with exciting visual effects, and as well has begun development of Pro29 and Pro54 reloadable motors. Again, no details are being released at this point. |
