CONFIGURATION GUIDANCE

Type 3 or IME/DOT: Which Do You Need?

The correct configuration depends on the materials involved, how the container will be used, and the requirements that apply to your operation.

Type 3 Day Boxes

Type 3 magazines are portable containers used for attended, temporary storage of explosive materials during daily operations. Steel and lightweight aluminum configurations are available.

Type 3 magazines must meet the applicable construction requirements of 27 CFR 555.209. They are not intended for unattended or overnight storage.

IME/DOT SLP-22 Containers

IME/DOT SLP-22 configurations are designed for certain applications involving the transportation of detonators with other explosive materials, subject to applicable conditions.

These configurations incorporate additional barrier construction. The applicable transportation requirements and permitted use should be confirmed before selecting a container.
