Standard Licence  Used for ‘normal’ requirements for ammunition storage Unless circumstances demand a different type of licence When the QD between the PES and ES can be achieved in line with the guidance provided in the QD matrices and tables (in IATG Quantity and separation distances) C9 Slide 7
