## Text

Section 200.21  Identification of Non-Commercial
and/or Homemade Explosive Materials
Non-commercial and/or homemade explosive materials may
be identified through laboratory analysis for explosives material verification,
or field tested by a law enforcement bomb technician who has completed and is
currently certified through Hazardous Devices School operated by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation (FBI).  The field test shall consist of a "test
burn" to provide verification the material tested is energetic, and then
followed by the use of analytic tools, such as spectrometer/analyzer (when
determined safe to perform) by a certified law enforcement bomb technician.
When a certified law enforcement bomb technician determines that the weight of
explosive materials cannot be achieved by weighing the explosive material
safely, the explosive substances and/or the device/containment shall be
considered the total explosive weight.  Where the explosives cannot be removed
safely from its location and/or its containment for identification, and the
certified bomb technician must initiate or "blow in place" and/or in
its containment, the bomb squad or its representatives shall video record the
initiation of the explosives to provide video evidence the explosives did react
by explosion.
