Non-commercial and/or homemade explosive materials may be identified through laboratory analysis for explosives material verification, or field tested by a law enforcement bomb technician who has completed and is currently certified through Hazardous Devices School operated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The field test shall consist of a "test burn" to provide verification the material tested is energetic, and then followed by the use of analytic tools, such as spectrometer/analyzer (when determined safe to perform) by a certified law enforcement bomb technician. When a certified law enforcement bomb technician determines that the weight of explosive materials cannot be achieved by weighing the explosive material safely, the explosive substances and/or the device/containment shall be considered the total explosive weight. Where the explosives cannot be removed safely from its location and/or its containment for identification, and the certified bomb technician must initiate or "blow in place" and/or in its containment, the bomb squad or its representatives shall video record the initiation of the explosives to provide video evidence the explosives did react by explosion.
