Provision in favour of gunmakers, &c. making cartridges.

46. The occupier of a magazine, store, or registered premises for any
explosive shall not be required by this Act to take out a factory license by
reason that in connexion with such magazine, store, or premises he fills for
sale or otherwise any cartridge for small arms with the said explosive, so
that he observe the following regulations; namely,

(1)There shall not be in the room in which such filling is being carried on
more than five pounds of gunpowder, or the prescribed amount of any other
explosive, except it is made up into safety cartridges; and

(2)Any work unconnected with the making of the cartridges shall not be carried
on in the room while such filling is being carried on; and

(3)There shall not be in the room while such filling is being carried on any
fire nor any artificial light, except a light of such construction, position,
or character as not to cause any danger of fire or explosion; and

(4)In the case of a magazine or store, the room in which the filling is
carried on shall be detached from the magazine or store, but in the immediate
neighbourhood thereof, and at such distance therefrom as may be specified in
the case of a magazine by the license, and in the case of a store by an Order
in Council relating to stores; and

(5)The occupier shall give notice in the case of a magazine to the Secretary
of State, and in the case of a store or registered premises to the [Ministry
of Home Affairs], that he intends to carry on such filling of cartridges as is
allowed by this section.

The regulations in this section and any conditions so made by the Secretary of
State as last aforesaid, shall be deemed to be general rules under this Act
relating to the magazine, store, and registered premises respectively, and the
breach of them shall be punished accordingly.
