| Abstract |
The general provisions set out as a schedule to this Order replace those of the Orders of 20 September 1954 and 11 April 1956. They emphasise the statutory obligation, when sorting scrap metal and before compacting or cutting, to stockpile separately in a place designated for this purpose all war ordinance, ammunition or any easily identifiable part thereof; to mark with an identity letter any suspicious or hollow objects which are not easily identifiable (also hollow objects which cannot be opened up manually, and to open and probe these objects). All such objects shall be handled with extreme care and sent in appropriate cases to the bomb-disposal or other similar service. In selling scrap, the fact that the above statutory obligation has been complied with shall be mentioned on the invoice or delivery voucher. After sorting is completed, the material shall be inspected by a qualified person before compacting or cutting-up. A commentary on some of the above provisions is appended. |
