This document is for guidance only and the definitive statutory requirements are contained in the Dangerous Goods Safety (Security Sensitive Ammonium Nitrate) Regulations 2007.
The basis for the SSAN Regulations is the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) agreement of 25 June 2004 related to counter-terrorism measures.
Western Australia has developed dedicated security regulations for so-called security sensitive ammonium nitrate (SSAN) rather than including them in the Explosives Regulations. This avoids confusion or inconsistencies between safety and security requirements for ammonium nitrate.
The requirements of the SSAN Regulations are in addition to the requirements of the other dangerous goods safety regulations.
