Marketing and Use of Explosive Precursors

Hi Folks,

Sorry if this has been covered before but I came across this proposal from the EU.

http://ec.europa.eu/...E_REGLEMENT.pdf

In a nutshell it would make buying the following items illegal without a licence:
Hydrogen Peroxide > 12% w/w
Potassium or Sodium Chlorate and Perchlorate
Nitric Acid > 3% w/w
Ammonium Nitrate.

[Posession of existing stock OK for 3 years]


The following items if purchased may be reported as "suspiscous":

Sulfuric Acid
Hexamine
Sodium/potassium Nitrate
Calcium Nitrate.

I don't use anything off the first list, but it would be annoying if I couldn't get hold of sulfuric as I do use that sometimes for home chemistry experiments :-(

Anbody else seen this?


Regards,
Redcone.
