Composition Exploding is what UK ammunition staff were taught.
The real arbiter is Explosive Hazard Data Sheet No 1b - Composition Exploding - produced by ARDE in 1929.
Sheet 1a would have been for TNT which was the standard for the Figure of Explosive Insensivity (ness) as 100.
The sheet number changed to 1124 when RDX was adopted as the F o I standard of 80.
But all this is for UK, as is Alpini's page. Other nations may have called it something else.
Should you wish to move this across any international border by any legal means you would have to use the - UN Recommendations for the Transport of Dangerous Goods ('Orange' book) under the UN Serial Number 0208, name and description TRINOTROPHENYLMETHYLNITRAMINE (TETRYL).
From this book you have to meet the packaging and various other requirements. I first encountered this book in 1976 and it must about be up to the 20th edition by this time, due to new compounds being produced.
I have seen some packages in threads recently with a long white code right across the other markings. This is an orange book code and with this code you can move anything anywhere without the service or other markings, other than hazard labels.
Obviously, the end user wants to know that he is getting what he wants to put in his weapon and how many, or what Peroxide he is going to put on some female's hair, but you can move it then repackage it in your country.
