The Controlled Products Regulations describe technical criteria for identifying materials which are classified as dangerously reactive. A dangerously reactive material can react vigorously: with water to produce a very toxic gas; on its own by polymerization or decomposition; or under conditions of shock, or an increase in pressure or temperature. A dangerously reactive material may cause a fire, explosion or other hazardous condition. It is very important to know which conditions (such as shock, heating or contact with water) may set off the dangerous reaction so that appropriate preventive measures can be taken. 3, record 1, English, - dangerously%20reactive%20material

Le Règlement sur les produits contrôlés donne les critères techniques servant à identifier les substances qui appartiennent à la catégorie des matières dangereusement réactives. Une matière dangereusement réactive peut réagir violemment : avec de l'eau pour produire un gaz très toxique; par elle-même par polymérisation ou par décomposition; ou sous l'effet d'un choc ou d'une augmentation de pression ou de température. Une matière dangereusement réactive peut déclencher un incendie ou une explosion, ou donner lieu à d'autres conditions dangereuses. Il est très important de connaître les conditions susceptibles d'occasionner une réaction dangereuse (choc, chaleur, humidité) pour pouvoir prendre les mesures de prévention appropriées. 2, record 1, French, - mati%C3%A8re%20dangereusement%20r%C3%A9active
