Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of Division 1.5 explosives?

Division 1.5 explosives are classified as very insensitive explosives that have a low risk of accidental initiation or detonation. They are designed to be safe during handling and transport, which means they are typically not easily ignited or detonated without a significant external impact.

The characteristic "Potential for a minor explosion" is not appropriate for Division 1.5 explosives because they are specifically designed to minimize the risk of any explosion. While they can produce a deflagration (a low-speed combustion wave), they are generally considered safe under normal conditions and do not pose a significant risk of explosion like other more sensitive classes of explosives.

In contrast, the other characteristics – being moderately sensitive, very insensitive, and having limited risk of detonation – accurately reflect the nature of Division 1.5 explosives. These properties emphasize their stability and safety, which is essential in hazardous materials management and transport.
