Deck General USCG Q#685 (Set 21)

Which statement is NOT true concerning the stowage of class 1 explosives?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — Class 1.4 explosives may not be stowed in the same hold with class 6.1 poisons.

Hazardous materials stowage rules under 49 CFR and 46 CFR permit certain minor explosives, such as Class 1.4, to be stowed near specific classes, but strictly prohibit stowing them in the same compartment as Class 6.1 toxic poisons.
