Sec. 555.109  Identification of explosive materials.

    (a) Each licensed manufacturer of explosive materials shall legibly 
identify by marking all explosive materials he manufactures for sale or 
distribution. The marks required by this section must identify the 
manufacturer and the location, date, and shift of manufacture. The 
licensed manufacturer shall place on each cartridge, bag, or other 
immediate container of explosive materials manufactured for sale or 
distribution the required mark which shall also be placed on the outside 
container, if any, used for their packaging.
    (b) Exceptions. (1) Licensed manufacturers of blasting caps are only 
required to place the identification marks prescribed in paragraph (a) 
on the containers used for the packaging of blasting caps.
    (2) The Director may authorize other means of identifying explosive 
materials upon receipt of a letter application from the licensed 
manufacturer showing that other identification is reasonable and will 
not hinder the effective administration of this part.
    (3) The Director may authorize the use of other means of 
identification on fireworks instead of marks prescribed in paragraph (a) 
of this section.
