UN 0136
Class: 1
Placard type: Explosive 1.1F
ERG: Guide 112 (check current ERG)
Isolation: ERG 112: Isolate 800m (½ mile) in all directions; evacuate area for large quantities; if fire threatens cargo, evacuate 1600m (1 mile) radius; mass detonation hazard affects entire load
Chemical & Response Details
| Also known as | Land minesAnti-personnel minesAnti-tank minesMilitary explosive minesBursting charge mines |
| Appearance | Military ordnance devices containing high explosives with bursting charges designed to detonate on contact or proximity. Typically metal or composite casings containing primary and secondary explosive charges. |
| Flash Point | Not applicable (explosive article) |
| Boiling Point | Not applicable (explosive article) |
| Vapor Density | Not applicable (solid explosive device) |
| Water Reactivity | No significant reaction with water, but moisture may affect explosive sensitivity over time |
| Extinguishing | Do not use water or foam; explosion risk from impact of water streams; use distance and protective cover only |
| PPE | ⚠️ Minimum safe distance protocols required; full EOD protective equipment if handling authorized; SCBA mandatory; only trained explosive ordnance disposal personnel should approach |
| Isolation | ERG 112: Isolate 800m (½ mile) in all directions; evacuate area for large quantities; if fire threatens cargo, evacuate 1600m (1 mile) radius; mass detonation hazard affects entire load |
Chemical details are general reference only. Always verify with current SDS, ERG, and SOP/SOG.
Common hazards (high level)
- Mass explosion hazard — entire load may detonate simultaneously.
- Severe blast overpressure and fragmentation.
- Sensitive to heat, shock, and friction.
- Secondary fire and debris hazard.
First actions (field-minded)
- CALL 911. Then call emergency response telephone number on shipping paper.
- Establish large isolation zone — minimum 500 meters in all directions.
- Stage upwind, uphill; limit personnel to essential responders only.
- Request Hazmat + law enforcement + additional resources immediately.
- Do not fight fire — evacuate and isolate; let burn if no life safety risk.
- Protect exposures only if safe and directed by command.
- Consult current ERG Guide 112 and follow SOP/SOG.
