6、SNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-MIL-STD-1325A (Navy) FOREWORD This standard describes general procedures and practices applicable to loading and securing hazardous materials for transportation by or to the Navy in railcars. Different loads require
7、different shoring applications. It is the intent of this standard not only to describe the special applications but also to set up minimum standards for the shoring of railcar loads. These procedures will help loading personnel prepare safe and economical loads. Physical dimensions, weights, types o
8、f loads and vehicles vary greatly, precluding the coverage of all combinations. The examples and procedures given in this basic standard shall be considered as typical. Mandatory requirements for specific loads are given in a series of MIL-STD dash number sheets which also form a part of this standa
9、rd. The Association of American Railroads, through its Bureau of Explosives, reviews and approves all carloading specifications for hazardaus materials as assigned by the Department of Transportation and the Canadian Transport Commission, .

SCO
22、PE l. 1 This standard contains general and detail requirements for the preparation of full and less than carload shipments of ammunition, explosives, propellants, and weapon system components. It also contains guidance to be followed in all carloading procedures when specific instructions in the for
23、m of MIL-STD dash number sheets do not exist (for example, mixed carloads). The MIL-STD dash number sheets contain specific instructions primarily for carloading ammunition normally shipped in large quantities. 1.2 Application. This standard is limited to the preparation for shipment of material by
24、or to the Navy. It applies to shipments from one Government activity to another and (where referenced in the applicable contract) shipment of material to the Navy from contractors plants, It does not apply to interplant shipments of material that is not Government owned. MI L-STD-1325-1 O0 and MIL-S
25、TD-1325- 1 O 1 are typical specifications applicable to carloading palletized unit loads of many different components which do not require the detail shown by specific carloading plans (dash sheets). MIL-STD-1325-102 is a typical specification showing procedures authorized for retaining partial uppe
26、r layers in all metal boxcars. 1.3 Compliance with law. The Code of Federal Regulations, Title 49, adminhtered by the Department of Transportation, imposes clear respohibilities on shippers of hazardous materials, including military shippers; It provides severe penalties against those who violate th
27、e regulations issued under this law. Compliance with the procedures outlined herein assures the individual shipper of compliance with his legal obligations. 1.3.1 In order to ensure compliance with law and regulations, this standard and its MIL-STD dash number sheets have been coordinated with or ap
28、proved by the Bureau of Explosives. 1 Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-MIL-STD-1325A (Navy) 1.4 Safety precautions. Th MIL-STD-1325A B1 77777LL 0071654 O - .e safety precautions outlined in OP 3347 shall be observed. The following are
29、general safety precautions that are not related to any specific procedure and therefore do not appear elsewhere in this standard. These precautions are recommended safety precautions that personnel shall understand and apply during many phases of- carloading. 1.4.1 Materials handling equipment. Neve
30、r exceed the rated allowable load of any piece of materials handling equipment. I 1.4.2 Gangways, bridge plates, etc. Always be sure gangways, bridge plates, and other means of entering cars are of sufficient strength to carry the load safely. Consider the gross load such as the forklift truck plus
31、the load. 1.4.3 Ammunition and explosive loading. Safety and responsibility are the paramount considerations in loading ammunition and explosives. Know the materials you are handling and remember, carelessness can and will kill YOU. 2. REFERENCED DOCUMENTS 2.1 The issue of the following documents in
