Résumé These Regulations implement article 7 of Council Directive 80/876/EEC in providing for checks to be carried out by the enforcing authority to establish that any ammonium nitrate based fertilizer manufactured chemically and containing more than 28 percent by weight of nitrogen, and described as an `EC fertilizer' satisfies the detonation resistance test. They also introduce equivalent safety controls for other ammonium nitrate material, where the material contains more than 28 percent nitrogen by weight derived from ammonium nitrate unless a person who has such material has been granted an exemption certificate by the Health and Safety Executive in accordance with regulation 10. All persons manufacturing, importing, supplying, or keeping ammonium nitrate material, with the exception of final users of ammonium nitrate, are required to have in their possession either a detonation resistance certificate, or unique numbered copy relating to the material under their control.
