JOINT HAZARD CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (JHCS). 1. The JHCS database is the official Department of Defense (DoD) database for final HAZARD classified ammunition and explosives. The US Army Defense Ammunition Center (DAC), Directorate for USATCES (US Army Technical Center for Explosives Safety) at McAlester, OK manages the JHCS.

3 For the Department of Defense Explosives Safety Board (DDESB). Comments, questions and suggestions regarding the JHCS should be submitted to SJMAC-EST, US Army Defense Ammunition Center, 1 C Tree Road, Building 35, McAlester, OK 74501-9053. They may also be communicated via E-Mail to or by FAX to DSN 956- or commercial (918) 420-, extension 8758. 2. The JHCS is accessible through the "DAC Home Page" at A. Common Access Card (CAC) is required to access the DAC Home Page. In the left column under Available Products select "JHCS". This will take you to the home page for the Explosives Safety Information Data Base ESIDB (ESMAM & JHCS) which provides access to the Joint HAZARD CLASSIFICATION System JHCS database. NOTE: The JHCS is a listing of items containing HAZARD Class 1 materials. Items with no Class 1 material will not normally be found in the JHCS. Some items in the JHCS may not be classified as a HAZARD Class 1 due to an overriding predominant HAZARD of another class.

4 These items with an overriding predominant HAZARD ( ) will still display a Storage Compatibility Group (SCG) code. This SCG code is provided to assist in the storage of the item with other HAZARD Class 1 items only and is to be ignored for transportation purposes. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS.

There are ten (10) CODES/CLASSES of supplies that are used to identify different basic categories of items. These basic categories are identified by either a Roman or Arabic character (I thru X or 1 thru 0/10) and it is the first of a two (2) position/character identification/authorization system. A number of subclasses (a second character) further identifies the kind of equipment the item is used on or the type of unit allowed to order it within each CODE/CLASS. CODE CLASS subclasses . 1 I Subsistence A,C,R,S or W. 2 II Clothing, Kits, Tools & Household Equipment A,B,D,E,F,G,H,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,T,U,W,Y or Z. 3 III POL (fuel, antifreeze, lubricants & oil) 1,2,3,4,5,6 or 7.

Non Mil. X. 1. AMMUNITION - Ammunition of all types (including chemical, radiological and special weapons) bombs, explosives, land mines, fuses, detonators, pyrotechnics, missiles, rockets, propellants, and other associated items. subclasses for CODE/CLASS 5/V - AMMUNITION. A - Air (munitions delivered by aircraft or aircraft weapons systems). L - Missiles (includes guided missile ammunition items). N - Special Weapons (includes nuclear and thermonuclear munitions). W - Ground (conventional munitions consist of chemical, smoke, illuminating, incendiary, riot control and improved conventional munitions). Z - Chemicals (chemical toxic munitions). Expanded definitions for the ten CLASSES and definitions for the subclasses can be found in DA Pam 708-2, Table 3-42.
