PACKING AND TANK PROVISIONS
Chapter 4.1. Use of
packagings, including intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) and large packagings
4.1.0
Definitions
Effectively
closed: liquid-tight closure.
Hermetically
sealed: vapour-tight closure.
Securely
closed: so closed that dry contents cannot escape during normal handling;
the minimum provisions for any closure.
4.1.1
General provisions for the packing of dangerous goods in packagings, including
IBCs and large packagings
Note:
For the packing of goods of classes 2, 6.2 and 7, the general provisions of
this section only apply as indicated in 4.1.8.2 (class 6.2), 4.1.9.1.5 (class
7) and in the applicable packing instructions of 4.1.4 (P201 and LP02 for class
2 and P620, P621, P650, IBC620 and LP621 for class 6.2).
4.1.1.1
Dangerous goods shall be packed in good quality packagings,
including IBCs and large packagings, which shall be strong enough to withstand
the shocks and loadings normally encountered during transport, including
trans-shipment between cargo transport units and between cargo transport units
and warehouses as well as any removal from a pallet or overpack for subsequent
manual or mechanical handling. Packagings, including IBCs and large packagings,
shall be constructed and closed so as to prevent any loss of contents when
prepared for transport which may be caused under normal conditions of
transport, by vibration, or by changes in temperature, humidity or pressure
(resulting from altitude, for example). Packagings, including IBCs and large
packagings, shall be closed in accordance with the information provided by the
manufacturer. No dangerous residue shall adhere to the outside of packages,
IBCs and large packagings during transport. These provisions apply, as
appropriate, to new, reused, reconditioned or remanufactured packagings, and to
new, reused, repaired or remanufactured IBCs, and to new, reused or
remanufactured large packagings.
4.1.1.2
Parts of packagings, including IBCs and large packagings, which
are in direct contact with dangerous goods:
.1 shall
not be affected or significantly weakened by those dangerous goods; and
.2 shall
not cause a dangerous effect, such as catalysing a reaction or reacting with
the dangerous goods; and
.3 shall
not allow permeation of the dangerous goods that could constitute a danger
under normal conditions of transport.
Where
necessary, they shall be provided with a suitable inner coating or treatment.
4.1.1.3
Unless otherwise provided elsewhere in this Code, each packaging,
including IBCs and large packagings, except inner packagings, shall conform to
a design type successfully tested in accordance with the provisions of 6.1.5,
6.3.5, 6.5.6 or 6.6.5, as applicable. However, IBCs manufactured before 1
January 2011 and conforming to a design type which has not passed the vibration
test of 6.5.6.13 or which was not required to meet the criteria of 6.5.6.9.5.4
at the time it was subjected to the drop test may still be used.
4.1.1.4 When filling packagings, including IBCs and large packagings, with
liquids,* sufficient ullage (outage) shall be left to ensure that neither
leakage nor permanent distortion of the packaging occurs as a result of an
expansion of the liquid caused by temperatures likely to occur during
transport. Unless specific provisions are prescribed, liquids shall not
completely fill a packaging at a temperature of 55°C. However, sufficient
ullage shall be left in an IBC to ensure that at the mean bulk temperature of
50°C it is not filled to more than 98% of its water capacity.†
___________________________
* With respect to ullage limits only, the
provisions applicable for packagings for solid substances may be used if the
viscous substance has an outflow time via a DIN-cup with a 4 mm diameter outlet
exceeding 10 minutes at 20°C (corresponding to an outflow time via a Ford cup 4
of more than 690 seconds at 20°C, or to a viscosity of more than 2680
centistokes at 20°C).
† For a differing temperature, the maximum
degree of filling may be determined as follows:
Degree of filling = 98/(1 + α (50 - tF)) per
cent of the capacity of the IBC
In this formula α represents the mean coefficient of cubic expansion
of the liquid substance between 15°C and 50°C; that is to say, for a maximum
rise in the temperature of 35°C, “α” is calculated according to the
formula:
α = d15 - d50
/(35 x d50) ,
where d15
and d50 are the relative densities of the liquid at 15°C and
50°C and tF is the mean temperature of the liquid at the time
of filling.
4.1.1.4.1
For air transport, packagings intended to contain liquids shall
also be capable of withstanding a pressure differential without leakage as
specified in the international regulations for air transport.
4.1.1.5
Inner packagings shall be packed in an outer packaging in such a
way that, under normal conditions of transport, they cannot break, be punctured
or leak their contents into the outer packaging. Inner packagings containing
liquids shall be packaged with their closures upward and placed within outer
packagings consistent with the orientation marks prescribed in 5.2.1.7.1 of
this Code. Inner packagings that are liable to break or be punctured easily, such
as those made of glass, porcelain or stoneware or of certain plastics
materials, etc., shall be secured in outer packagings with suitable cushioning
material. Any leakage of the contents shall not substantially impair the
protective properties of the cushioning material or of the outer packaging.
4.1.1.5.1
Where an outer packaging of a combination packaging or a large
packaging has been successfully tested with different types of inner
packagings, a variety of such different inner packagings may also be assembled
in this outer packaging or large packagings. In addition, provided an
equivalent level of performance is maintained, the following variations in
inner packagings are allowed without further testing of the package:
.1 Inner
packagings of equivalent or smaller size may be used provided:
– the inner packagings are
of similar design to the tested inner packagings (such as shape – round,
rectangular, etc.);
– the material of
construction of inner packagings (glass, plastics, metal, etc.) offers resistance
to impact and stacking forces equal to or greater than that of the originally
tested inner packaging;
– the inner packagings have
the same or smaller openings and the closure is of similar design (such as
screw cap, friction lid, etc.);
– sufficient additional
cushioning material is used to take up void spaces and to prevent significant
movement of the inner packagings;
– inner packagings are
oriented within the outer packaging in the same manner as in the tested
package; and
.2 A
lesser number of the tested inner packagings or of the alternative types of
inner packagings identified in .1 above may be used, provided sufficient
cushioning is added to fill the void space(s) and to prevent significant
movement of the inner packagings.
4.1.1.5.2
Use of supplementary packagings within an outer packaging (e.g. an
intermediate packaging or a receptacle inside a required inner packaging)
additional to what is required by the packing instructions is authorized
provided all relevant requirements are met, including those of 4.1.1.3, and, if
appropriate, suitable cushioning is used to prevent movement within the
packaging.
4.1.1.5.3
Cushioning and absorbent material shall be inert and suited to the
nature of the contents.
4.1.1.5.4
The nature and the thickness of the outer packagings shall be such
that friction during transport does not generate any heating likely to alter
dangerously the chemical stability of the contents.
4.1.1.6
Dangerous goods shall not be packed together in the same outer
packaging, or in large packagings, with dangerous or other goods if they react
dangerously with each other and cause:
.1 combustion
and/or evolution of considerable heat;
.2 evolution
of flammable, toxic or asphyxiant gases;
.3 the
formation of corrosive substances; or
.4 the
formation of unstable substances.
4.1.1.7
The closures of packagings containing wetted or diluted substances
shall be such that the percentage of liquid (water, solvent or phlegmatizer)
does not fall below the prescribed limits during transport.
4.1.1.7.1
Where two or more closure systems are fitted in series on an IBC,
that nearest to the substance being transported shall be closed first.
4.1.1.7.2
Unless otherwise specified in the Dangerous Goods List, packages
containing substances which:
.1 evolve
flammable gases or vapour;
.2 may
become explosive if allowed to dry;
.3 evolve
toxic gases or vapour;
.4 evolve
corrosive gases or vapour; or
.5 may
react dangerously with the atmosphere should be hermetically sealed.
4.1.1.8
Where pressure may develop in a package by the emission of gas
from the contents (as a result of temperature increase or other causes), the
packaging or IBC may be fitted with a vent provided that the gas emitted will
not cause danger on account of its toxicity, its flammability, the quantity
released, etc.
A
venting device shall be fitted if dangerous overpressure may develop due to
normal decomposition of substances. The vent shall be so designed that, when
the packaging or IBC is in the attitude in which it is intended to be transported,
leakages of liquid and the penetration of foreign substances are prevented
under normal conditions of transport.
4.1.1.8.1 Liquids
may only be filled into inner packagings which have an appropriate resistance
to internal pressure that may be developed under normal conditions of
transport.
4.1.1.9 New,
remanufactured or re-used packagings, including IBCs and large packagings, or
reconditioned packagings and repaired or routinely maintained IBCs shall be
capable of passing the tests prescribed in 6.1.5, 6.3.5, 6.5.6 or 6.6.5, as
applicable. Before being filled and handed over for transport, every packaging,
including IBCs and large packagings, shall be inspected to ensure that it is
free from corrosion, contamination or other damage and every IBC shall be
inspected with regard to the proper functioning of any service equipment. Any
packaging which shows signs of reduced strength as compared with the approved
design type shall no longer be used or shall be so reconditioned that it is
able to withstand the design type tests. Any IBC which shows signs of reduced
strength as compared with the tested design type shall no longer be used or
shall be so repaired or routinely maintained that it is able to withstand the
design type tests.
4.1.1.10 Liquids
shall be filled only into packagings, including IBCs, which have an appropriate
resistance to the i nternal pressure that may develop under normal conditions
of transport. As the vapour pressure of low-boiling-point liquids is usually
high, the strength of receptacles for these liquids shall be sufficient to
withstand, with an ample factor of safety, the internal pressure likely to be
generated. Packagings and IBCs marked with the hydraulic test pressure
prescribed in 6.1.3.1(d) and 6.5.2.2.1, respectively, shall be filled only with
a liquid having a vapour pressure:
.1 such
that the total gauge pressure in the packaging or IBC (i.e. the vapour pressure
of the filling substance plus the partial pressure of air or other inert gases,
less 100 kPa) at 55°C, determined on the basis of a maximum degree of filling
in accordance with 4.1.1.4 and a filling temperature of 15°C, will not exceed
two thirds of the marked test pressure; or
.2 at
50°C, less than four sevenths of the sum of the marked test pressure plus 100 kPa;
or
.3 at
55°C, less than two thirds of the sum of the marked test pressure plus 100 kPa.
IBCs intended for the
transport of liquids shall not be used to carry liquids having a vapour
pressure of more than 110 kPa (1.1 bar) at 50°C or 130 kPa (1.3 bar) at 55°C.

Note
1: For pure liquids, the vapour pressure at 55°C (Vp55)
can often be obtained from scientific tables.
Note
2: The table refers to the use of 4.1.1.10.3 only, which means that
the marked test pressure shall exceed 1.5 times the vapour pressure at 55°C less
100 kPa. When, for example, the test pressure for n-decane is determined
according to 6.1.5.5.4.1, the minimum marked test pressure may be lower.
Note
3: For diethyl ether, the required minimum test pressure under
6.1.5.5.5 is 250 kPa.
4.1.1.11
Empty packagings, including IBCs and large packagings, that have
contained a dangerous substance shall be treated in the same manner as is
required by this Code for a filled packaging, unless adequate measures have
been taken to nullify any hazard.
4.1.1.12
Every packaging as specified in chapter 6.1 intended to contain
liquids shall successfully undergo a suitable leakproofness test. This test is
part of a quality assurance programme as stipulated in 6.1.1.3 which shows the
capability of meeting the appropriate test level indicated in 6.1.5.4.4:
.1 before
it is first used for transport;
.2 after
remanufacturing or reconditioning of any packaging, before it is re-used for
transport.
For
this test, the packaging need not have its closures fitted. The inner receptacle
of a composite packaging may be tested without the outer packaging, provided
the test results are not affected. This test is not necessary for inner
packagings of combination packagings or large packagings.
4.1.1.13
Packagings, including IBCs, used for solids which may become
liquid at temperatures likely to be encountered during transport shall also be
capable of containing the substance in the liquid state.
4.1.1.14
Packagings, including IBCs, used for powdery or granular
substances shall be sift-proof or shall be provided with a liner.
4.1.1.15
For plastics drums and jerricans, rigid plastics IBCs and
composite IBCs with plastics inner receptacles, unless otherwise approved by
the competent authority, the period of use permitted for the transport of dangerous
substances shall be five years from the date of manufacture of the receptacles,
except where a shorter period of use is prescribed because of the nature of the
substance to be transported.
4.1.1.16
Where ice is used as a coolant it shall not affect the integrity
of the packaging.
4.1.1.17 Explosives,
self-reactive substances and organic peroxides
Unless
specific provision to the contrary is made in this Code, the packagings,
including IBCs and large packagings, used for goods of class 1, self-reactive
substances of class 4.1 and organic peroxides of class 5.2 shall comply with
the provisions for the medium danger group (packing group II).
4.1.1.18 Use of
salvage packagings and large salvage packagings
4.1.1.18.1
Damaged, defective, leaking or non-conforming packages, or
dangerous goods that have spilled or leaked may be transported in salvage
packagings mentioned in 6.1.5.1.11 and 6.6.5.1.9. This does not prevent the use
of a larger size packaging or large packaging of appropriate type and performance
level and under the conditions of 4.1.1.18.2 and 4.1.1.18.3.
4.1.1.18.2
Appropriate measures shall be taken to prevent excessive movement
of the damaged or leaking packages within a salvage packaging. When the salvage
packaging contains liquids, sufficient inert absorbent material shall be added
to eliminate the presence of free liquid.
4.1.1.18.3 Appropriate
measures shall be taken to ensure there is no dangerous build-up of pressure.
4.1.1.19 Use of
salvage pressure receptacles
4.1.1.19.1
In the case of damaged, defective, leaking or non-conforming
pressure receptacles, salvage pressure receptacles according to 6.2.3 may be
used.
Note: A
salvage pressure receptacle may be used as an overpack in accordance with
5.1.2. When used as an overpack, marks shall be in accordance with 5.1.2.1
instead of 5.2.1.3.
4.1.1.19.2
Pressure receptacles shall be placed in salvage pressure
receptacles of suitable size. The maximum size of the placed pressure
receptacle is limited to a water capacity of 1,000 litres. More than one
pressure receptacle may be placed in the same salvage pressure receptacle only
if the contents are known and do not react dangerously with each other (see
4.1.1.6). In this case the total sum of water capacities of the placed pressure
receptacles shall not exceed 1,000 litres. Measures shall be taken to prevent
movement of the pressure receptacles within the salvage pressure receptacle,
e.g. by partitioning, securing or cushioning.
4.1.1.19.3 A
pressure receptacle may only be placed in a salvage pressure receptacle if:
.1 the
salvage pressure receptacle is in accordance with 6.2.3.5 and a copy of the
approval certificate is available;
.2 parts
of the salvage pressure receptacle which are, or are likely to be in direct
contact with the dangerous goods will not be affected or weakened by those
dangerous goods and will not cause a dangerous effect (e.g. catalysing reaction
or reacting with the dangerous goods); and
.3 the
contents of the contained pressure receptacle(s) is limited in pressure and
volume so that if totally discharged into the salvage pressure receptacle, the
pressure in the salvage pressure receptacle at 65°C will not exceed the test
pressure of the salvage pressure receptacle (for gases, see packing instruction
in P200 (3) 4.1.4.1). The reduction of the useable water capacity of the
salvage pressure receptacle, e.g. by any contained equipment and cushioning,
shall be taken into account.
4.1.1.19.4
The proper shipping name, the UN number preceded by the letters
“UN” and label(s) as required for packages in chapter 5.2 applicable to the
dangerous goods inside the contained pressure receptacle(s) shall be applied to
the salvage pressure receptacle for transport.
4.1.1.19.5
Salvage pressure receptacles shall be cleaned, purged and visually
inspected internally and externally after each use. They shall be periodically
inspected and tested in accordance with 6.2.1.6 at least once every five years.
4.1.1.20
During transport, packagings, including IBCs and large packagings,
shall be securely fastened to or contained within the cargo transport unit, so
that lateral or longitudinal movement or impact is prevented and adequate
external support is provided.
4.1.2 Additional general provisions for the use of IBCs
4.1.2.1
When IBCs are used for the transport of liquids with a flashpoint
of 60°C (closed cup) or lower, or of powders liable to dust explosion, measures
shall be taken to prevent a dangerous electrostatic discharge.
4.1.2.2.1
Every metal, rigid plastics and composite IBC shall be inspected
and tested, as relevant, in accordance with 6.5.4.4 or 6.5.4.5:
.1 before
it is put into service;
.2 thereafter
at intervals not exceeding two and a half and five years, as appropriate; and
.3 after
the repair or remanufacture, before it is re-used for transport.
4.1.2.2.2
An IBC shall not be filled and offered for transport after the
date of expiry of the last periodic test or inspection. However, an IBC filled
prior to the date of expiry of the last periodic test or inspection may be
transported for a period not to exceed three months beyond the date of expiry
of the last periodic test or inspection. In addition, an IBC may be transported
after the date of expiry of the last periodic test or inspection:
.1 after
emptying but before cleaning, for purposes of performing the required test or
inspection prior to refilling; and
.2 unless
otherwise approved by the competent authority, for a period not to exceed six
months beyond the date of expiry of the last periodic test or inspection in
order to allow the return of dangerous goods or residues for proper disposal or
recycling. Reference to this exemption shall be entered in the transport
document.
4.1.2.3
IBCs of type 31HZ2 when transporting liquids shall be filled to at
least 80% of the volume of the outer casing and shall be transported in closed
cargo transport units.
4.1.2.4
Except for routine maintenance of metal, rigid plastics, composite
and flexible IBCs performed by the owner of the IBC, whose State and name or
authorized symbol is durably marked on the IBC, the party performing routine
maintenance shall durably mark the IBC near the manufacturer’s UN design type
mark to show:
.1 the
State in which the routine maintenance was carried out; and
.2 the
name or authorized symbol of the party performing the routine maintenance.
4.1.3 General provisions concerning packing instructions
4.1.3.1
Packing instructions applicable to dangerous goods of classes 1 to
9 are specified in 4.1.4. They are subdivided in three subsections depending on
the type of packagings to which they apply:
subsection 4.1.4.1 f or packagings other than IBCs and large packagings; these
packing instructions are designated by an alphanumeric code comprising the
letter “P”;
subsection 4.1.4.2 f or IBCs; these are designated by an alphanumeric code comprising
the letters “IBC”;
subsection 4.1.4.3 for large packagings; these are designated by an alphanumeric code
comprising the letters “LP”.
Generally,
packing instructions specify that the general provisions of 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and/or
4.1.3, as appropriate, are applicable. They may also require compliance with
the special provisions of 4.1.5, 4.1.6, 4.1.7, 4.1.8 or 4.1.9 when appropriate.
Special packing provisions may also be specified in the packing instruction for
individual substances or articles. They are also designated by an alphanumeric
code comprising the letters:
“PP” for
packagings other than IBCs and large packagings
“B” for
IBCs
“L” for
large packagings.
Unless
otherwise specified, each packaging shall conform to the applicable provisions
of part 6. Generally, packing instructions do not provide guidance on
compatibility and the user shall not select a packaging without checking that
the substance is compatible with the packaging material selected (such as, most
fluorides are unsuitable for glass receptacles). Where glass receptacles are
permitted in the packing instructions, porcelain, earthenware and stoneware
packagings are also allowed.
4.1.3.2
Column 8 of the Dangerous Goods List shows for each article or
substance the packing instruction(s) that shall be used. Column 9 indicates the
special packing provisions applicable to specific substances or articles.
4.1.3.3
Each packing instruction shows, where applicable, the acceptable
single and combination packagings. For combination packagings, the acceptable
outer packagings, inner packagings and, when applicable, the maximum quantity
permitted in each inner or outer packaging are shown. Maximum net mass
and maximum capacity are as defined in 1.2.1.
4.1.3.4
The following packagings shall not be used when the substances
being transported are liable to become liquid during transport:

and 21HZ2
4.1.3.5 Where
the packing instructions in this chapter authorize the use of a particular type
of packaging (such as 4G; 1A2), packagings bearing the same packaging
identification code followed by the letters “V”, “U” or “W” marked in
accordance with the provisions of part 6 (such as “4GV”, “4GU” or “4GW”;
“1A2V”, “1A2U” or “1A2W”) may also be used under the same conditions and
limitations applicable to the use of that type of packaging according to the
relevant packing instructions. For example, a combination packaging marked with
the packaging code “4GV” may be used whenever a combination packaging marked
“4G” is authorized, provided the provisions in the relevant packing instruction
regarding types of inner packagings and quantity limitations are respected.
4.1.3.6 Pressure
receptacles for liquids and solids
4.1.3.6.1 Unless
otherwise indicated in this Code, pressure receptacles conforming to:
.1 the
applicable requirements of chapter 6.2; or
.2 the
National or International standards on the design, construction, testing,
manufacturing and inspection, as applied by the country in which the pressure
receptacles are manufactured, provided that the provisions of 4.1.3.6 and
6.2.3.3 are met,
are authorized for the
transport of any liquid or solid substance other than explosives, thermally
unstable substances, organic peroxides, self-reactive substances, substances
where significant pressure may develop by evolution of chemical reaction and
radioactive material (unless permitted in 4.1.9).
This subsection is not
applicable to the substances mentioned in 4.1.4.1, packing instruction P200,
table 3.
4.1.3.6.2 Every
design type of pressure receptacle shall be approved by the competent authority
of the country of manufacture or as indicated in chapter 6.2.
4.1.3.6.3 Unless
otherwise indicated, pressure receptacles having a minimum test pressure of 0.6
MPa shall be used.
4.1.3.6.4 Unless
otherwise indicated, pressure receptacles may be provided with an emergency
pressure relief device designed to avoid bursting in case of overfill or fire
accidents.
Pressure receptacle valves
shall be designed and constructed in such a way that they are inherently able to
withstand damage without release of the contents or shall be protected from
damage which could cause inadvertent release of the contents of the pressure
receptacle, by one of the methods as given in 4.1.6.1.8.1 to 4.1.6.1.8.5.
4.1.3.6.5 The
level of filling shall not exceed 95% of the capacity of the pressure
receptacle at 50°C. Sufficient ullage (outage) shall be left to ensure that the
pressure receptacle will not be liquid-full at a temperature of 55°C.
4.1.3.6.6 Unless
otherwise indicated, pressure receptacles shall be subjected to a periodic
inspection and test every five years. The periodic inspection shall include an
external examination, an internal examination or alternative method as approved
by the competent authority, a pressure test or equivalent effective
non-destructive testing with the agreement of the competent authority,
including an inspection of all accessories (e.g. tightness of valves, emergency
relief valves or fusible elements). Pressure receptacles shall not be filled
after they become due for periodic inspection and test but may be transported
after the expiry of the time limit. Pressure receptacle repairs shall meet the
requirements of 4.1.6.1.11.
4.1.3.6.7 Prior
to filling, the filler shall perform an inspection of the pressure receptacle
and ensure that the pressure receptacle is authorized for the substances to be
transported and that the provisions of this Code have been met. Shut-off valves
shall be closed after filling and remain closed during transport. The consignor
shall verify that the closures and equipment are not leaking.
4.1.3.6.8 Refillable
pressure receptacles shall not be filled with a substance different from that
previously contained unless the necessary operations for change of service have
been performed.
4.1.3.6.9 Marking
of pressure receptacles for liquids and solids according to 4.1.3.6 (not
conforming to the requirements of chapter 6.2) shall be in accordance with the
requirements of the competent authority of the country of manufacturing.
4.1.3.7 Packagings,
including IBCs and large packagings, not specifically authorized in the
applicable packing instruction shall not be used for the transport of a
substance or article unless specifically approved by the competent authority
and provided:
.1 the
alternative packaging complies with the general provisions of this chapter;
.2 when
the packing instruction indicated in the Dangerous Goods List so specifies, the
alternative packaging meets the provisions of part 6;
.3 the
competent authority determines that the alternative packaging provides at least
the same level of safety as if the substance were packed in accordance with a
method specified in the particular packing instruction indicated in the
Dangerous Goods List; and
.4 a
copy of the competent authority approval accompanies each consignment or the
transport document includes an indication that alternative packaging was
approved by the competent authority.
Note:
The competent authorities granting such approvals shall take action to amend
the Code to include the provisions covered by the approval as appropriate.
4.1.3.8 Unpackaged
articles other than class 1 articles
4.1.3.8.1 Where
large and robust articles cannot be packaged in accordance with the
requirements of chapter 6.1 or 6.6 and they have to be transported empty,
uncleaned and unpackaged, the competent authority may approve such transport.
In doing so, the competent authority shall take into account that:
.1 Large
and robust articles shall be strong enough to withstand the shocks and loadings
normally encountered during transport, including trans-shipment between cargo
transport units and between cargo transport units and warehouses, as well as
any removal from a pallet for subsequent manual or mechanical handling.
.2 All
closures and openings shall be sealed so that there can be no loss of contents
which might be caused under normal conditions of transport, by vibration, or by
changes in temperature, humidity or pressure (resulting from altitude, for
example). No dangerous residue shall adhere to the outside of the large and
robust articles.
.3 Parts
of large and robust articles, which are in direct contact with dangerous goods:
.1 shall
not be affected or significantly weakened by those dangerous goods; and
.2 shall
not cause a dangerous effect, e.g. catalysing a reaction or reacting with the
dangerous goods.
.4 Large
and robust articles containing liquids shall be stowed and secured to ensure
that neither leakage nor permanent distortion of the article occurs during
transport.
.5 They
shall be fixed in cradles or crates or other handling devices in such a way
that they will not become loose during normal conditions of transport.
4.1.3.8.2 Unpackaged
articles approved by the competent authority in accordance with the provisions
of 4.1.3.8.1 shall be subject to the consignment procedures of part 5. In
addition the consignor of such articles shall ensure that a copy of any such
approval is transported with the large and robust articles.
Note: A
large and robust article may include flexible fuel containment systems,
military equipment, machinery or equipment containing dangerous goods above the
limited quantity thresholds.
4.1.3.9 Where,
in 4.1.3.6 and in the individual packing instructions, cylinders and other
pressure receptacles for gases are authorized for the transport of any liquid
or solid substance, use is also authorized of cylinders and pressure
receptacles of a kind normally used for gases which conform to the requirements
of the competent authority of the country in which the cylinder or pressure
receptacle is filled. Valves shall be suitably protected. Pressure receptacles
with capacities of 1 L or less shall be packed in outer packagings constructed
of suitable material of adequate strength and design in relation to the
capacity of the packaging and its intended use and secured or cushioned so as
to prevent significant movement within the outer packaging during normal
conditions of transport.

instruction applies to UN Nos. 3528, 3529 and 3530. |
|
If
the engine or machinery is constructed and designed so that the means of
containment containing the dangerous goods affords adequate protection, an
outer packaging is not required. Dangerous
goods in engines or machinery shall otherwise be packed in outer packagings
constructed of suitable material, and of adequate strength and design in
relation to the packaging capacity and its intended use, and meeting the
applicable requirements of 4.1.1.1, or they shall be fixed in such a way that
they will not become loose during normal conditions of transport, e.g. in
cradles or crates or other handling devices. In addition, the manner in
which means of containment are contained within the engine or machinery,
shall be such that under normal conditions of transport, damage to the means
of containment containing the dangerous goods is prevented; and in the event
of damage to the means of containment containing liquid dangerous goods, no
leakage of the dangerous goods from the engine or machinery is possible (a
leakproof liner may be used to satisfy this requirement). Means
of containment containing dangerous goods shall be so installed, secured or
cushioned as to prevent their breakage or leakage and so as to control their
movement within the engine or machinery during normal conditions of
transport. Cushioning material shall not react dangerously with the content
of the means of containment. Any leakage of the contents shall not
substantially impair the protective properties of the cushioning material. |
|
Additional requirement: Other
dangerous goods (e.g. batteries, fire extinguishers, compressed gas
accumulators or safety devices) required for the functioning or safe
operation of the engine or machinery shall be securely mounted in the engine
or machine. |
