A magazine designed to accommodate less than 50 kg is what type of magazine?

• A. Portable magazine
• B. Permanent magazine
• C. Vaulted magazine
• D. Ground magazine

Answer: (A)

Explosive magazines are classified by how much they store. If a magazine is designed to accommodate less than 50 kg, it’s a portable magazine. This designation reflects the need for light, movable storage for small quantities, suitable for use close to the worksite while still meeting safety requirements like proper distance from ignition sources, weather protection, and security. The other types are for different situations: a permanent magazine is for larger quantities and fixed installations, vaults refer to rugged, reinforced structures for secure, heavier storage, and ground-type magazines describe storage built into or on the ground layout. The 50 kg cutoff is what separates the portable option from the others.
