<h2 id="overview">Overview</h2>
<p>Ordnance detonations may be broadly categorized as a high order detonation or a low order detonation. A high order detonation is generally an ordnance detonation that results in an explosive ordnance producing a designed/intended explosive yield. A low order detonation is generally a controlled ordnance detonation or a malfunctioned ordnance detonation that results in a significantly lower yield than designed.
</p><p>Render safe procedures and techniques apply to conventional ordnance such as nuclear, chemical, biological and conventional battlefield weapons/ordnance and unconventional ordnance such as improvised explosive devices (IED) and <a href="/facts/Improvised_nuclear_device/QxBPqj4s">improvised nuclear devices</a> (IND). RSPs can also apply to explosive components of military equipment such as may be found in military vehicles and aircraft – ejection seats, explosive bolts, etc.
</p><p>In civilian circles, RSPs can apply to items that can be dangerous if not handled properly, i.e. <a href="/facts/Air_bags/fIygARIw">air bags</a> and <a href="/facts/Seat_belt/2m5BvW5Y">seat belt pretensioners</a>. These are often detonated in a safe environment after replacement to comply with local <a href="/facts/Legislation/yUjkPsgX">legislation</a> surrounding transport of <a href="/facts/Dangerous_goods/mfe6Yv43">dangerous goods</a>.
