- Class 1.3: Composes of explosives that mainly present a fire hazard; may have minor blast and/or projection hazards, but do not pose a mass explosion threat.
- Class 1.4: Consists of explosives with no significant blast hazard; minor explosion effects confined to the package with no expected projection of large or far-ranging fragments.
- Class 1.5: Contains very insensitive explosives or blasting agents that have a mass explosion hazard but are unlikely to ignite or transition from burning to detonation under normal transport conditions.
- Class 1.6: Includes extremely insensitive detonating substances, presenting negligible risk of accidental initiation or explosion propagation.
