Which statement is required on the DD form 1348-1A for MDAS?

• A. The material listed on this form has been inspected or processed by DDSEB-approved means, as required by DOD policy and to the best of my knowledge and belief does not pose an explosive hazard
• B. The material has been tested for general compliance
• C. The material is non-hazardous and safe for unrestricted transport
• D. The material is suitable for any storage condition

Answer: (A)

On this form, the required statement is that the material listed has been inspected or processed by DDSEB-approved means, as required by DoD policy, and to the best of your knowledge and belief does not pose an explosive hazard. This exact certification exists to ensure explosives safety reviews are completed before anything related to MDAS is issued or moved, and that the person completing the form is taking personal responsibility for the safety assessment. The DoD Explosives Safety Board approves specific inspection and processing methods. Requiring this attestation ties the item to that approved safety oversight, providing a traceable, auditable check that the material has undergone the proper review and does not present an explosive hazard under the conditions anticipated for release or transport. Saying the material has simply been tested for general compliance doesn’t guarantee an explosives review, and asserting it’s non-hazardous or safe for unrestricted transport or suitable for any storage condition goes beyond what the safety process requires and could be misleading given the varied hazards and handling requirements of MDAS items.
