Requirement to Notify Police when Moving Explosives

Notification of Class 1 Transportation

Under Regulation 51 of the Hazardous Substances (Classes 1 to 5 Controls) Regulations 2001, for a person in charge of any transportation on public roads or by rail of a class 1 substance must ensure that an enforcement officer appointed by Police is notified at least 24 hours before departure on the first occasion of transport by a new route and where appropriate, has this notification reconfirmed or modified at intervals, not greater than 12 months.

To facilitate this, Police have set up a reporting/notification system. The system adopted is that mark.stables@police.govt.nz is to be notified, preferably by email.

The information required is:

  • Name, address and contact details of consignor & consignee;
  • Name, address and contact details of operator;
  • Date(s) of travel;
  • Points of departure and destination and intended route;
  • Divisions of Class 1 & Quantities
