Question 687 Deck General
70% to passA structurally serviceable freight container loaded with Class 1 explosive materials cannot have a major defect in its strength components. Which of the following would make a container non-serviceable?
The correct answer is A) dents or bends in the structural members greater than 0.75" in depth regardless of length. This is because the regulations for transporting Class 1 explosive materials in freight containers require the container to be structurally serviceable, meaning it must not have any major defects in its strength components. Dents or bends greater than 0.75" in depth are considered major defects that would make the container non-serviceable, regardless of the length of the dent or bend. The other options are incorrect because dents or bends less than 0.75" in depth (choices B and C) would not be considered major defects, and dents or bends greater than 0.075" in depth (choice D) are too small to be considered non-serviceable.
