Question 688 Deck General

The correct answer is A) the door gasket does not seal. The regulations stipulate that a freight container used to transport Class 1 explosive materials must be in serviceable condition. A critical requirement for serviceability is that the container's door gasket must seal properly to prevent the escape of explosive vapors or the entry of moisture. If the door gasket does not seal, the container cannot be considered serviceable and should not be used to transport Class 1 explosives. The other options, such as a film of rust, paint scratches, or a stiff locking mechanism, while undesirable, would not necessarily prevent the container from being serviceable as long as the door gasket seals properly and the container is otherwise in good condition.
