3.
The volume thresholds of the table below shall apply per operating range (columns 4 and 5).
4.
The quantities to be taken into account for the application of the relevant provisions shall be the maximum quantities which may or may be present at any given time. The calculation of the total quantity of dangerous substances present in an operating range only in quantities not exceeding 2% of the relevant quantitative threshold shall not be taken into account if they are to be found within an operating range. in a place where they cannot act as a trigger for an incident at another location in the operating area.
5.
For the purpose of examining the application of the Regulation, the subsets shall be added for each dangerous substance, having regard to point 4 above the operating range, and each individual sum shall be compared with the quantities of the quantities shown in columns 4 and 5. In the presence of a number of dangerous substances, the following rules shall apply to the addition of quantities of dangerous substances or categories of dangerous substances in an operational area: the operating range shall be covered by the relevant provisions: Provisions of this Regulation if the Summeq (deep) 1/Q (deep) 1 + q (deep) 2 + q (deep) 3/Q (deep) 3 + q (deep) 4/Q (deep) 4 + q (deep) 5/Q (deep) 5 + ... q (deep) x/Q (deep) x > = 1, where q (deep) (1, 2 ... x) is the present amount of a hazardous substance (1, 2 ... x) (or dangerous substances in one and the same category) of this Annex and Q (deep) (1, 2 ... x) the relevant quantity threshold of a dangerous substance (1, 2 ... x) (or dangerous substances in one and the same category) of column 4 or 5 of this Annex.

EC No L 196 p. 1), as last amended by Commission Directive 2004 /73/EC of 29 April 2004 (OJ L 196, 27.7.2004, p. EU No L 152 p. 1),
-
Directive 1999 /45/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 May 1999 on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous preparations (OJ L 346, 31.12.1999, p. EC No 1), as last amended by Council Directive 2004 /66/EC of 26 April 2004 (OJ L 136, 31.5.2004, p. EU No L 168 p. 35).

"Explosive" referred to in point 4 and 5 of the list of substances
a)
a substance or preparation in which which is the risk of explosion by impact, friction, fire or other sources of ignition (hazard note R 2),
b)
a substance or preparation in which which is a particular risk of explosion caused by impact, friction, fire or other sources of ignition (hazard warning R 3), or
c)
a substance, preparation or object of Class 1 of the European Convention on the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (UN/ADR), which was concluded on 30 September 1957, as amended, in the Council Directive 94 /55/EC of 21 November 1994 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States with regard to the transport of dangerous goods by road (OJ L 327, 22.12.1994, p. EC No 7), as last amended by Commission Directive 2004 /111/EC of 9 December 2004 (OJ L 319, 30.12.2004, p. EU No L 365 p. 25).
This definition also includes pyrotechnic substances which, for the purposes of this Regulation, are defined as a substance (or a mixture of substances) with which heat, light, sound, gas or smoke, or a combination of these effects, are obtained by: Self-sustaining, exothermic chemical reactions should be achieved. If a substance or preparation is classified according to the UN/ADR classification as well as the hazard warning R 2 or R 3, the UN/ADR classification shall take precedence over the hazard classification. The substances and objects of class 1 shall be in one of the subclasses of 1.1 to 1.6 according to the UN/ADR classification. The subclasses in question are as follows: Subclass 1.1: Substances and articles that are capable of mass explosions (a mass explosion is an explosion that virtually simultaneously captures the entire charge). Subclass 1.2: Materials and articles which present the risk of the formation of splinters, sprengs and worms, but not mass explosive; subclass 1.3: Substances and objects which have a fire hazard and which either have a fire hazard and which have a fire hazard. Low risk due to air pressure or a low risk due to splinters, sprenters and throwing pieces or both, but are not mass explosionable:
a)
significant radiant heat is produced during the combustion process, or
b)
which burn one after the other in such a way that a low air pressure effect or splinter, explosive piece action or both effects are produced.
Subclass 1.4: Substances and articles which, in the event of inflammation or ignition during transport, represent only a slight risk of explosion. The impact is essentially limited to the shipment piece, and it is not to be expected that explosive devices with larger dimensions or greater range will be created. A fire acting from the outside has no practically simultaneous explosion of the almost total contents of the mailpiece to the following subclass 1.5: Very insensitive mass explosive substances which are so insensitive that the Probability of ignition or the transition of a fire to a detonation under normal transport conditions is very low. The minimum requirement for these substances is that they do not explode during the outdoor fire test. Sub-class 1.6: Extremely insensitive objects that are not mass-explosive. These objects contain only extremely insensitive detonating substances and have a negligible probability of an unintentional ignition or reproduction. The danger is limited to the explosion of a single object. This definition also includes explosive or pyrotechnic substances or preparations contained in objects. In the case of objects containing explosive or pyrotechnic substances or preparations, the quantity of the substance or preparation contained shall be the determining factor for the purposes of this Regulation. If the quantity is not known, the entire object shall be treated as explosive for the purposes of this Regulation.
