COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 94/55/EC of 21 November 1994 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States with regard to the transport of dangerous goods by road THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 75 thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 189c of the Treaty (3),(1) Whereas, over the years, both the national and the international transport of dangerous goods by road have significantly increased, adding to the dangers in the event of an accident;(2) Whereas all Member States except Ireland are Contracting Parties to the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR), the geographical scope of which extends beyond the Community and which lays down uniform rules for the safe international transport of dangerous goods by road; whereas it is consequently desirable that such rules be extended to cover national traffic in order to harmonize across the Community the conditions under which dangerous goods are transported by road;(3) Whereas no Community legislation embraces the full range of measures required to ensure the safe transport of dangerous goods and the relevant national measures vary from one Member State to another; whereas those divergences are an obstacle to the free provision of transport services and, moreover, to the free movement of vehicles and transport equipment; whereas in order to overcome that obstacle uniform rules applicable to all intra-Community transport should be defined;(4) Whereas an action of this nature must be carried out at Community level to ensure consistency with other Community legislation, to ensure a satisfactory degree of harmonization to facilitate the free movement of goods and services and to ensure a high level of safety for national and international transport operations;(5) Whereas the provisions of this Directive are without prejudice to the commitment entered into by the Community and its Member States, in accordance with the goals set under Agenda 21, Chapter 19, at the Unced conference of June 1992 in Rio de Janeiro, to strive for the future harmonization of systems for the classification of dangerous substances;(6) Whereas no specific Community legislation yet governs the safety conditions under which biological agents and genetically modified micro-organisms, regulated under Council Directives 90/219/EEC (4), 90/220/EEC (5) and 90/679/EEC (6), should be transported;(7) Whereas this Directive takes account of other Community policies in the fields of worker safety, vehicle construction and environmental protection;(8) Whereas the Member States remain free to regulate any operation for the transport of dangerous goods carried out within their territory by a vehicle not covered by the Directive regardless of where the vehicle is registered;(9) Whereas the Member States must be able to apply specific road-traffic regulations to the transport of dangerous goods within their territories;(10) Whereas the Member States must be able to maintain their quality-control requirements as regards certain national transport operations until the Commission reports to the Council on these matters;(11) Whereas the provisions of the ADR authorize the conclusion of agreements derogating therefrom, and whereas the large number of agreements concluded bilaterally between Member States impedes the free provisions of dangerous-goods transport services; whereas including the necessary provisions in the Annexes to this Directive should overcome the need for such derogations; whereas provision should be made for a transitional period during which the Member States may continue to apply existing agreements amongst themselves;(12) Whereas it is necessary to transpose into Community law the provisions of the ADR, including the requirements concerning the construction of vehicles transporting dangerous goods; whereas, in this context, provision should be made for a transitional period so that the Member States may temporarily maintain certain specific national provisions on construction requirements for nationally registered vehicles;(13) Whereas existing information procedures in the field of related national legislative proposals must be used in order to increase transparency for all economical operators;(14) Whereas as regards national transport, the Member States must retain the right to apply rules complying with the United Nations multimodal Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, in so far as the ADR is not yet harmonized with those rules, the purpose of which is to facilitate the inter-modal transport of dangerous goods;(15) Whereas the Member States must be able to regulate or prohibit the transport by road of certain dangerous goods within their territories, but only for reasons other than transport safety; whereas in this context the Member States may retain the right in the case of certain transports of very dangerous substances to impose the use of transport by rail or inland waterway or may maintain very specific packaging for certain very dangerous substances;(16) Whereas for the purposes of this Directive the Member States must be able to apply more stringent or more lenient rules to certain transport operations performed within their territories by means of vehicles registered there;(17) Whereas the harmonization of conditions should take account of specific national circumstances and therefore this Directive must be sufficiently flexible in providing the Member States with the possibility of granting certain derogations; whereas the application of new technological and industrial developments must not be impeded and provision must therefore be made for temporary derogations;(18) Whereas vehicles registered in non-member countries must be allowed to perform international transport within the territories of Member States if they comply with the ADR;(19) Whereas it must be possible to adapt this Directive rapidly to technical progress, in order to take account of new provisions incorporated in the ADR and to decide upon the application and implementation of emergency measures in the event of accidents or incidents; whereas a committee should be created for that purpose and a procedure should be established for close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission within that committee;(20) Whereas the Annexes to this Directive contain provisions covering the vocational training of certain drivers of vehicles transporting dangerous goods by road; whereas, therefore, Council Directive 89/684/EEC of 21 December 1994 on vocational training for certain drivers of vehicles carrying dangerous goods by road (7) should be repealed,HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:CHAPTER I Scope, definitions and general provisions Article 1 1.  This Directive shall apply to the transport of dangerous goods by road within or between Member States. It shall not apply to the transport of dangerous goods by vehicles belonging to or under the responsibility of the armed forces.2.  This Directive shall not, however, affect the Member States' right, with due regard to Community law, to lay down requirements as regards:(a) the national and international transport of dangerous goods within their territories performed by vehicles not covered by this Directive,(b) road-traffic regulations specific to the national and international transport of dangerous goods;(c) quality controls on undertakings, in accordance with ISO standards 9001 and 9002, where they carry out national transport operations involving:(i) explosive substances and article in Class 1, where the quantity of explosive substance contained per transport unit exceeds:- 1 000 kg for division 1.1, or - 3 000 kg for division 1,2, or - 5 000 kg for divisions 1.3 and 1.5;(ii) the following very dangerous substances in tanks or in tank-containers of a total capacity exceeding 3 000 litres:- substances of Class 2- gas classified under(at)(bt)(b)(ct)(c)- deeply refrigerated liquified gases of 7° (b) and 8° (b),- substances of Classes 3, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 5.1, 5.2, 6.1 and 8- not listed under (b) or (c) in those classes, or- listed therein but having a hazard code with three or more significant digits (not including any zero);(iii) the following packages of Class 7 (radioactive materials): packages of fissile materials, packages of type B (U), packages of type B (M).The scope of the national provisions concerning these requirements may not be extended.The provisions in question shall cease to apply if similar measures are made obligatory under Community provisions.Before 31 December 1998 the Commission shall submit to the Council a report assessing the safety aspects covered by this provision together with an appropriate proposal for its continuation or repeal.Article 2 For the purposes of this Directive:- 'ADR` shall mean the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road, concluded at Geneva on 30 September 1957, as amended,- 'vehicle` shall mean any motor vehicle intended for use on the road, being complete or incomplete, having at least four wheels and a maximum design speed exceeding 25 km/h, and its trailers, with the exception of vehicles which run on rails, and of agricultural and forestry tractors and all mobile machinery,- 'dangerous goods` shall mean those substances and articles the transport of which by road is prohibited or authorized only in certain circumstances by Annexes A and B to this Directive,- 'transport` shall mean any road transport operation performed by a vehicle wholly or partly on public roads within the territory of a Member State, including the activity of loading and unloading, covered by Annexes A and B, without prejudice to the arrangements laid down by the laws of the Member States concerning liability in respect of such operations.It shall not include transport wholly performed within the perimeter of an enclosed area.Article 3 1.  Without prejudice to Article 6, dangerous goods the transport of which is prohibited by Annexes A and B to this Directive shall not be transported by road.2.

The Member States concerned shall inform the Commission accordingly.Article 5 1.  Without prejudice to other Community legislation, in paticular that on market access, each Member State shall retain the right, strictly for reasons other than safety during transport, such as reasons of national security or environmental protection, to regulate or prohibit the transport of certain dangerous goods within its territory.2.  Any rules imposed by a Member State on vehicles performing internaitonal transport through its territory and authorized by Marginal 10 599 of Annex B shall be limited in scope locally, shall apply to both national and international transport and may not result in any discrimination.3. (a) Each Member State may apply more stringent provisions concerning transport, with the exception of construction requirements, performed by vehicles registered or put into circulation within its territory.(b) The Member States may, however, maintain specific national provisions on the centres of gravity of tank-vehicles registered within their territories until the amendment, if any, of Marginal 211 128 of Annex B to this Directive, but not, in any event, after 31 December 1998.4.  If a Member State considers that the safety provisions applicable have been found to be insufficient, on the occasion of an accident or an incident, to limit the hazards involved in transport and if there is an urgent need to take action, it shall notify the Commission, at the planning stage, of the measures which it proposes to take. Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 9, the Commission shall decide whether the implementation of those measures should be authorized and determine their duration.5.

The Member States shall communicate these national provisions to the Commission, which shall inform the other Member States accordingly.Article 6 1.  Each Member State may authorize the transport by road within its territory of dangerous goods classified, packaged and labelled in accordance with the international requirements for maritime or air transport whenever the transport operation involves a sea or air voyage.2.  Any provisions in Annexes A and B concerning the use of languages in relevant marking or documentation shall not apply to transport operations confined to the territory of a single Member State. Member States may authorize the use of languages other than those provided for in the Annexes for transport operations performed within their territories.3.  Within its territory each Member State may authorize the use of vehicles constructed before 1 January 1997 which do not comply with this Directive but were constructed in accordance with the national requirements in force on 31 December 1996 provided that such vehicles are maintained to the required safety levels.4.  Each Member State may maintain provisions of national legislation in force on 31 December 1996 relating to the construction, use and conditions of carriage of new receptacles within the meaning of Marginal 2 212 of Annex A and new tanks which do not comply with Annexes A and B, until references to standards for the construction and use of tanks and receptacles with the same binding force as the provisions of this Directive are added to Annexes A and B and in any event no later than 31 December 1998. Receptacles and tanks constructed before 1 January 1999 and maintained to the required safety levels may continue to be used under the original conditions.5.  Each Member State may maintain national provisions other than those set out in Annexes A and B with regard to the reference temperature for the transport within its territory of liquified gases or mixtures of liquified gases until provisions relating to appropriate reference temperatures for designated climatic areas are incorporated into European standards and references to those standards are added to Annexes A and B.6.  Each Member State may allow the use, for transport within its territory, of packagings constructed but not certified in accordance with the ADR before 1 January 1997 provided that such packaging shows the date of manufacture and is capable of passing the tests laid down in national legislation in force on 31 December 1996 and provided that all such packagings are maintained to the relevant safety levels (including testing and inspection where required), in accordance with the following scheme: intermediate metal bulk containers and metal drums exceeding 50 litres in capacity, for up to 15 years after their date of manufacture; other metal packagings and all plastics packagings, for up to five years after their date of manufacture; other metal packagings and all plastics packagings, for up to five years after their date of manufacture but not after 31 December 1998.7.  Each Member State may allow the transport within its territory of certain dangerous goods packaged before 1 January 1997 until 31 December 1998, provided that the goods are classified, packaged and labelled in accordance with the requirements of national legislation in force before 1 January 1997.8.  Each Member State may maintain provisions of national legislation in force on 31 December 1996 relating to the display of an emergency action code in place of the hazard identification number provided for in Annex B for transport operations performed within its territory by vehicles registered within that territory.9.  Each Member State may, after consulting the Commission, maintain provisions less stringent than those set out in Annexes A and B to this Directive for the transport within its territory of small quantities of certain dangerous goods, with the exception of substances having a medium or high level of radioactivity.10.  Provided that safety is not compromised, the Member States may grant temporary derogations from Annexes A and B for the purpose of carrying out within their territories the trials necessary before the amendment of those Annexes to adapt them to technological and industrial developments. The Commission shall be informed thereof and shall inform the other Member States accordingly.A temporaty derogation agreed on between Member States' competent authorities on the basis of Marginals 2 010 and 10 602 of Annexes A and B shall take the form of a multilateral agreement proposed to all Member States' competent authorities by the authority taking the initiative in respect of the agreement. The Commission shall be informed accordingly.Any derogation such as referred to in the first and second subparagraphs shall be applied without discrimination on grounds of the nationality or the place of establishment of the consignor, haulier or consignee; they may last for up to five years and shall not be renewable.11.  Each Member State may authorize single transports of dangerous goods which are either prohibited by Annexes A and B or performed under conditions different from those laid down in Annexes A and B.12.  Without prejudice to paragraph 2, each Member State may until 31 December 1998 at the latest apply existing agreements with other Member States that comply with the ADR, without discrimination on grounds of the nationality or the place of establishment of the consignor, haulier or consignee. Any other derogation authorized by Marginals 2 010 and 10 602 of Annexes A and B shall comply with paragraph 10.Article 7 Subject to national or Community provisions on market access, vehicles registered or put into circulation in non-member countries shall be authorized to perform the international transport of dangerous goods within the Community if the transport in question complies with the ADR.CHAPTER III Final privisions Article 8 The amendments necessary to adapt Annexes A and B to scientific and technical progress in the fields covered by this Directive in order to take account of amendments to the Annexes to the ADR shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 9.Article 9 1.

Provisions concerning receptacles are applicable to fixed tanks, batteries of receptacles, demountable tanks and tank-containers only if this is expressly stipulated.(3) The term 'full load` means any load originating from one sender for which the use of a vehicle or of a large container is exclusively reserved and all operations for the loading and unloading of which are carried out in conformity with the instructions of the sender or of the consignee.(4) For the purposes of this Directive, 'n.o.s. (not otherwise specified) entry` means a collective entry to which substances, mixtures, solutions or articles may be assigned if they:a) are not mentioned by name under the items of the lists of substances, andb) exhibit chemical, physical and/or dangerous properties corresponding to the class, item, letter and name of the n.o.s. entry.(5) Wastes are substances, solutions, mixtures or articles for which no direct use is envisaged but which are transported for reprocessing, dumping, elimination by incineration or other methods of disposal.2001 >TABLE>The decimal multiples and sub-multiples of a unit may be formed by prefixes or symbols, having the following meanings, placed before the name or symbol of the unit:>TABLE>Note: 109 = 1 billion is United Nations usage in English. By analogy, so is 10-9 = 1 billionth.(2) Whenever the word 'weight` is used in this Annex and in Annex B, it means 'mass`.(3) Whenever the weight of a package is mentioned in this Annex and in Annex B, the gross mass is meant unless otherwise stated. The mass of containers or tanks used for the carriage of goods is not included in the gross mass.(4) Unless expressly stated otherwise, the sign ' %` in this Annex and in Annex B represents:a) in the case of mixtures of solids or of liquids, and also in the case of solutions and of solids wetted by a liquid: a percentage mass based on the total mass of the mixture, the solution or the wetted solid;b) in the case of mixtures of compressed gases: the proportion of the volume indicated as a percentage of the total volume of the gaseous mixture; in the case of mixtures of liquefied gases and gases dissolved under pressure: the proportion of the mass indicated as a percentage of the total mass of the mixture.(5) Pressures of all kinds relating to receptacles (such as test pressure, internal pressure, safety-valve opening pressure) are always indicated in gauge pressure (pressure in excess of atmospheric pressure); however, the vapour pressure of substances is always expressed in absolute pressure.(6) Where this Annex or Annex B specifies a degree of filling for receptacles or tanks, that degree of filling is always referred to a temperature of the substances of 15 °C unless some other temperature is indicated.(7) Fragile receptacles secured, either singly or in groups, by cushioning materials in a strong receptacle are not regarded as fragile receptacles if the strong receptacle is leakproof and so designed that in the event of breakage or leakage of the fragile receptacles their contents cannot escape from the strong receptacle and the mechanical strength of the latter is not impaired by corrosion during carriage.(8) The following approximate conversion formula is authorized until SI units have been incorporated throughout the texts of this Annex and Annex B.1 kg/mm2 = 10 N/mm2,1 kg/cm2 = 1 bar.General provisions 2002 (1) This Annex specifies the dangerous goods to be excluded from international carriage by road and the dangerous goods to be accepted for such carriage under certain conditions. It groups the dangerous goods in restrictive and non-restrictive classes.Of the dangerous goods covered by the headings of the restrictive classes (Classes 1, 2 and 7), those which are listed in the clauses concerning these classes (marginals 2101, 2201 and 2701) are to be accepted for carriage only under the conditions specified in these clauses, and others are to be excluded from carriage. Some of the dangerous goods covered by the headings of the non-restrictive classes (Classes 3, 4.1, 4.2,4.3, 5.1, 5.2, 6.1, 6.2, 8 and 9) are, by notes inserted in the clauses concerning the various Classes, excluded from carriage; of the other goods covered by the headings of the non-restrictive classes, those which are mentioned in the clauses concerning these classes (marginals 2301, 2401, 2431, 2471, 2501, 2551, 2601, 2651, 2801 and 2901) are to be accepted for carriage only under the conditions specified in these clauses; those which are not mentioned or covered by one of the collective headings are not deemed to be dangerous goods for the purposes of this Agreement and are to be accepted for carriage without any special conditions.(2) The classes of this Annex are as follows:>TABLE>(3) Any carriage of goods governed by this Annex shall be accompanied by both the following documents:a) a transport document containing at least the following information (for Class 7, see also marginal 2709):- a description of the goods including the substance identification number (where available) ();- the class ();- the item number together with any letter ();- the initials ADR or RID ();- the number and a description of the packages or IBCs;- the total quantity of dangerous goods (as a volume or as a gross mass or as a net mass and, in addition, in the case of explosive substances and articles of Class 1, as a total net mass of explosive contents).Note: 1. This information is not required in the case of uncleaned empty packagings, containers or tanks.2. In the case of the application of marginal 10 011, the quantities of dangerous goods carried per transport unit shall be expressed as a gross mass.- the name and address of the consignor;- the name and address of the consignee(s);- a declaration as required by the terms of any special agreement.The document containing this information may be that already required by other regulations in force for carriage by another mode of transport. The consignor shall communicate this information to the carrier in writing.The particulars to be entered in the document shall be drafted in an official language of the forwarding country, and also, if that language is not English, French or German, in English, French or German, unless international road transport tariffs, if any, or agreements concluded between the countries concerned in the transport operation, provide otherwise.b) instructions to be implemented in the event of an accident (see Annex B, marginal 10 385), (unless exempted under marginal 10 011).(4) If by reason of the size of the load a consignment cannot be loaded in its entirety on a single transport unit, at least as many separate documents, or copies of the single document, shall be made out as transport units loaded. Furthermore, in all cases separate transport documents shall be made out for consignments or parts of consignments which may not be loaded together on the same vehicle by reason of the prohibitions set forth in Annex B.(5) Outer packagings additional to those specified in this Annex may be used providing that they do not contravene the spirit of the provisions of this Annex relating to outer packagings. If such additional packagings are used, the prescribed marking and labels shall be applied to them.(6) If the mixed packing of several dangerous substances with one another or with other goods is allowed by the provisions of section A.3 of the provisions applicable to the various classes, the inner packagings containing different dangerous substances shall be carefully and effectively separated from one another in the collective packagings if dangerous reactions, such as the production of dangerous heat, combustion, the formation of mixtures sensitive to friction or shock, and the release of flammable or toxic gases, are liable to occur as a result of damage to or destruction of the inner packagings. In particular, if fragile receptacles are used, and especially if the said receptacles contain liquids, the danger of the formation of dangerous mixtures shall be avoided and to this end all appropriate measures shall be taken, such as the use of suitable cushioning materials in sufficient quantity, securing of the receptacles in a second, strong packaging, and subdivision of the collective packaging into several compartments. For mixed packing of material of Class 7, see marginal 3711 of Appendix A.7.(7) If mixed packing is used, the provisions of this Annex concerning the particulars in the transport document shall apply in respect of each of the different kinds of dangerous substance contained in the collective package, and the collective package shall bear all the inscriptions and all the danger labels prescribed in this Annex for the dangerous substances the collective package contains.(8) The following provisions shall apply to substances, solutions and mixtures [such as preparations and wastes ()] not mentioned by name in the lists of substances of the various classes:Note: 1. Solutions and mixtures comprise two or more components. These components may be either substances of this Directive or substances which are not subject to the provisions of this Directive.2. Solutions and mixtures containing one or more components of a restrictive Class are not to be accepted for carriage unless those components are listed by name in the list of substances of the restrictive class.3. Solutions and mixtures having a specific activity exceeding 70 kBq/kg (2nCi/g) are substances of Class 7 [see marginal 2700 (1)].a) A solution or mixture containing a dangerous substance listed by name in this Directive together with one or more non-dangerous substances, shall be regarded as the dangerous substance listed by name, unless:1. The solution or mixture is specifically listed by name elsewhere in this Directive; or2. It is quite clear from the item for the dangerous substance that it is applicable only to the pure or technically pure substance; or3. The class, physical state or packing group (letter), of the solution or mixture is different from that of the dangerous substance.For such solutions and mixtures, the word 'solution` or 'mixture` shall then be added as part of the name in the transport document for the purposes of clarity in the description, for example, 'acetone solution`.If the class, physical state or packing group are different from that of the pure substance, the solution or mixture shall be assigned to an appropriate n.o.s. entry, depending on the degree of danger.b) Substances having more than one danger characteristic and solutions and mixtures containing two or more components subject to this Directive shall be placed under an item and letter of the appropriate Class in accordance with their danger characteristics. Such classification according to the danger characteristics shall be carried out as follows:1.1 The physical and chemical characteristics and physiological properties shall be determined by measurement or calculation and be classified according to the criteria of the various classes.1.2 If this determination is not possible without disproportionate cost or effort (as for some kinds of wastes), the solutions or mixtures shall be placed in the class of the component presenting the predominant danger.2. If a substance presents more than one danger characteristic or if a mixture or solution contains more than one component of the classes or groups of substances listed below, it shall be classified in the class or the group of substances presenting the predominant danger.2.1 If there is no predominant danger, classification shall be based on the following order of precedence:- substances and articles of Class 1- substances and articles of Class 2- self-reactive and related substances and explosive substances in non-explosive state (wetted or phlegmatized explosive substances) of Class 4.1- pyrophoric substances of Class 4.2- substances of Class 5.2- substances of Class 6.1 or Class 3 which, on the basis of their inhalation toxicity, are to be classified under letter (a) of the various items (excluding substances, solutions and mixtures (such as preparations and wastes) meeting the classification criteria of Class 8 and having an inhalation toxicity of dust and mists (LC50) in the range of group (a) and toxicity through oral ingestion or dermal contact only in the range of group (c) or less; such substances, solutions and mixtures (such as preparations and wastes) shall be assigned to Class 8)- infectious substances of Class 6.2.2.2 If the danger characteristics fall within more than one class or group of substances not listed in 2.1, the substances, mixtures or solutions shall be classified in the class or group of substances presenting the predominant danger.2.3 If there is no predominant danger, the substance, solution or mixture shall be classified as follows:2.3.1 Assignment to a class shall be on the basis of the various danger characteristics or components in accordance with the table below. For Classes 3, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 5.1, 6.1, 8 and 9, account shall be taken of the degree of danger indicated by letters (a), (b) or (c) of the various items [see marginals 2300 (3), 2400 (3), 2430 (3), 2470 (3), 2500 (3), 2600 (1), 2800 (1) and 2900].Note: Example to explain the use of the table ():Description of the Mixture:Mixture consisting of a flammable liquid classified under Class 3, letter (c), a toxic substance classified under Class 6.1, letter (b), and a corrosive substance classified under Class 8, letter (a).Procedure:The intersection of line 3(c) with column 6.1(b) gives 6.1(b). The intersection of line 6.1(b) with column 8(a) gives 8(a). This mixture is therefore to be classified under Class 8, letter (a).>TABLE>2.3.2 Classification under an n.o.s. entry of an item of a class determined in accordance with 2.3.1 on the basis of the danger characteristics of the various components of the solution or mixture. Classification under a general n.o.s. entry is permitted only when classification under a specific n.o.s. entry is not possible.Note: Examples for the classification of mixtures and solutions under classes and items:A phenol solution of Class 6.1, 14°(b), in benzene of Class 3, 3°(b) is to be classified in Class 3, 3°(b); this solution is to be classified under the entry 1992 flammable liquid, toxic, n.o.s., Class 3, 19°(b), by virtue of the toxicity of the phenol.A solid mixture of sodium arsenate of Class 6.1, 51°(b) and sodium hydroxide of Class 8, 41°(b) is to be classified under the entry 1557 arsenic compound, solid, n.o.s. in Class 6, 51°(b).A solution of crude or refined naphthalene of Class 4.1, 6° (c) in petrol of Class 3, 3°(b), is to be classified under the entry 3295 hydrocarbons, liquid, n.o.s. in Class 3, 3°(b).A mixture of hydrocarbons of Class 3, 31°(c), and of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) of Class 9, 2°(b), is to be classified under the entry 2315 polychlorinated biphenyls in Class 9, 2°(b).A mixture of propyleneimine of Class 3, 12°, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) of Class 9, 2°(b), is to be classified under the entry 1921 propyleneimine, inhibited in Class 3, 12°.(9) The consignor, either in the transport document or in a separate declaration incorporated into or combined with it, shall certify that the substance presented may be carried by road in conformity with the provisions of this Directive and that its condition, treatment and, as appropriate its packaging, the intermediate bulk container or tank container and the labelling conform to the provisions of this Directive.

List of substances and articles 2100 (1) Among the substances and articles covered by the title of Class 1, only those listed in marginal 2101 or assigned to an n.o.s. entry in marginal 2101 are to be accepted for carriage. These substances and articles are only to be accepted for carriage subject to conditions set out in marginals 2100 (2) to 2116, Appendix A.1 and Annex B. They are then considered as substances and articles of this Directive.(2) Class 1 comprises:(a) - Explosive substances: solid or liquid substances (or mixtures of substances) capable by chemical reaction of producing gases at such a temperature and pressure and at such a speed as to cause damage to the surroundings.- Pyrotechnic substances: substances or mixtures of substances designed to produce an effect by heat, light, sound, gas or smoke or a combination of these as the result of non-detonating self-sustaining exothermic chemical reactions.Note: 1. Explosive substances which are unduly sensitive or are liable to spontaneous reaction are not to be accepted for carriage.2. Substances which are not themselves explosive but which may form an explosive mixture of gas, vapour or dust are not substances of Class 1.3. Also excluded from Class 1 are: water- or alcohol-wetted explosives of which the water or alcohol content exceeds the limits indicated in marginal 2101 and those containing plasticizers - these explosives are assigned to Class 4.1 (marginal 2401, 21°, 22° and 24°) - and those explosives which, on the basis of their predominant hazard, are assigned to Class 5.2.(b) Explosive articles: articles containing one or more explosive substances and or pyrotechnic substances.Note: Devices containing explosive and or pyrotechnic substances in such small quantity or of such a character that their inadvertent or accidental ignition or initiation during carriage would not cause any manifestation external to the device by projection, fire, smoke, heat or loud noise are not subject to the requirements of Class 1.(c) Substances and articles not mentioned under (a) or (b) above which are manufactured with a view to producing a practical effect by explosion or a pyrotechnic effect.(3) Explosive substances and articles shall have been assigned to a name in marginal 2101 in accordance with the test methods for the determination of explosive properties and the classification procedures set out in Appendix A.1 and they shall meet the conditions appropriate to that name or shall be assigned to an n.o.s. entry in marginal 2101 in accordance with these test methods and classification procedures.Assignment of substances and articles not mentioned by name to an n.o.s. entry shall be made by the competent authority of the country of origin.Substances and articles which are assigned to an n.o.s. entry shall be carried only with the approval of the competent authority of the country of origin and under the conditions laid down by that authority.The approval shall be issued in writing.(4) Substances and articles of Class 1, other than empty packagings, uncleaned, of 51°, shall have been assigned to a division in accordance with paragraph (6) and to a compatibility group in accordance with paragraph (7). The division shall be based on the results of the tests described in Appendix A.1 applying the definitions in paragraph (6). The compatibility group shall be determined in accordance with the definitions in paragraph (7). The classification code shall consist of the division number and the compatibility group letter.(5) Substances and articles of Class 1 are assigned to packing group II (see Appendix A.5).(6) Definition of divisions1.1. Substances and articles which have a mass explosion hazard. (A mass explosion is an explosion which affects almost the entire load virtually instantaneously).1.2. Substances and articles which have a projection hazard but not a mass explosion hazard.1.3. Substances and articles which have a fire hazard and either a minor blast hazard or a minor projection hazard or both, but not a mass explosion hazard,(a) combustion of which gives rise to considerable radiant heat; or(b) which burn one after another, producing minor blast or projection effects or both.1.4. Substances and articles which present only a slight risk of explosion in the event of ignition or initiation during carriage. The effects are largely confined to the package and no projection of fragments of appreciable size or range is to be expected. An external fire shall not cause virtually instantaneous explosion of almost the entire contents of the package.1.5. Very insensitive substances having a mass explosion hazard which are so insensitive that there is very little probability of initiation or of transition from burning to detonation under normal conditions of carriage. As a minimum requirement they must not explode in the external fire test.1.6. Extremely insensitive articles which do not have a mass explosion hazard. The articles contain only extremely insensitive detonating substances and demonstrate a negligible probability of accidental initiation or propagation.Note: The risk from articles of Division 1.6 is limited to the explosion of a single article.(7) Definition of compatibility groups of substances and articles:A Primary explosive substanceB Article containing a primary explosive substance and not having two or more effective protective features. Some articles, such as detonators for blasting, detonator assemblies for blasting and primers, cap-type, are included, even though they do not contain primary explosives.C Propellant explosive substance or other deflagrating explosive substance or article containing such explosive substanceD Secondary detonating explosive substance or black powder or article containing a secondary detonating explosive substance, in each case without means of initiation and without a propelling charge, or article containing a primary explosive substance and having two or more effective protective featuresE Article containing a secondary detonating explosive substance, without means of initiation, with a propelling charge (other than one containing an inflammable liquid or gel or hypergolic liquids)F Article containing a secondary detonating explosive substance with its own means of initiation, with a propelling charge (other than one containing an inflammable liquid or gel or hypergolic liquids) or without a propelling chargeG Pyrotechnic substance, or article containing a pyrotechnic substance, or article containing both an explosive substance and an illuminating, incendiary, tearor smoke-producing substance (other than a water-activated article or one which contains white phosphorus, phosphides, a pyrophoric substance, a flammable liquid or gel or hypergolic liquids)H Article containing both an explosive substance and white phosphorusJ Article containing both an explosive substance and an inflammable liquid or gelK Article containing both an explosive substance and a toxic chemical agentL Explosive substance or article containing an explosive substance and presenting a special risk (e.g. due to water activation or the presence of hypergolic liquids, phosphides or a pyrophoric substance) necessitating isolation of each typeN Articles containing only extremely insensitive detonating substancesS Substance or article so packed or designed that any hazardous effects arising from accidental functioning are confined within the package unless the package has been degraded by fire, in which case all blast or projection effects are limited to the extent that they do not significantly hinder or prevent fire-fighting or other emergency response efforts in the immediate vicinity of the package.Note: 1. Each substance or article, packed in a specified packaging, may be assigned to one compatibility group only. Since the criterion of compatibility group S is empirical, assignment to this group is necessarily linked to the tests for assignment of a classification code.2. Articles of compatibility groups D or E may be fitted or packed together with their own means of initiation provided that such means have at least two effective protective features designed to prevent an explosion in the event of accidental functioning of the means of initiation. Such packages shall be assigned to compatibility groups D or E.3. Articles of compatibility groups D or E may be packed together with their own means of initiation, which do not have two effective protective features (i.e. means of initiation assigned to compatibility group B), provided that they comply with the requirements of marginal 2104 (6). Such packages shall be assigned to compatibility groups D or E.4. Articles may be fitted or packed together with their own means of ignition provided that the means of ignition cannot function during normal conditions of carriage.5. Articles of compatibility groups C, D and E may be packed together. Such packages shall be assigned to compatibility group E.(8) Substances of compatibility group A and articles of compatibility group K, in accordance with paragraph (7), shall not be accepted for carriage.(9) For the purposes of the requirements of this Class and by derogation from marginal 3510 (3), the term 'package` shall also include an unpackaged article in so far as that article is accepted for carriage unpackaged.2101 The substances and articles of Class 1 to be accepted for carriage are listed in Table 1 below. Explosive substances and articles listed in marginal 3170 can be assigned to the various names in marginal 2101 only if their properties, composition, construction and anticipated use correspond to one of the descriptions contained in Appendix A.1.>TABLE>2.

Substances and preparations used as pesticides having a flashpoint below 23 °CNotes: 1. Flammable liquid substances and preparation, used as pesticides, which are highly toxic, toxic or slightly toxic and have a flashpoint of 23 °C or above are substances of Class 6.1 (see marginal 2601, 71° to 87°).2. In the tables, pesticides are subdivided into items 41° to 57° as follows:- highly toxic substances and preparations- toxic substances and preparations- slightly toxic substances and preparations.3. All active substances and their preparations used as pesticides shall be classified under 41° to 57° highly toxic, toxic and slightly toxic in accordance with marginal 2600 (3).4. If only the LD50 value of the active substance is known and not that of the preparations of the active substance, the preparations may be classified under 41° to 57° highly toxic, toxic and harmful using the following tables, where the figures shown in columns 'highly toxic`, 'toxic` and 'slightly toxic` of 41° to 57° represent the percentage of active pesticide substance in the preparations.5. For substances which are not named in the list, and for which only the LD50 value of the active substance is known and not the LD50 values of the various preparations, the classification of a preparation may be determined from the table in marginal 2600(3), using an LD50 value obtained by multiplying the LD50 value of the active substance by 100, × being the percentage of active substance by mass according to the following formula:LD50 value of the active substance × 100LD50 value = ------------------percentage of active substance by mass6. The classification according to notes 4 and 5 above shall not be used when the preparations contain additives which affect the toxicity of the active substance or when a preparation contains more than one active substance. In such cases the classification shall be based on the LD50 value of the preparation in question according to the criteria in marginal 2600 (3). If the LD50 value is not known, the substance shall be classified under highly toxic of 41° to 57°.41° 2784 organophosphorus pesticide, liquid, flammable, toxic, flashpoint less than 23 °C(a) having a boiling point or initial boiling point not exceeding 35 °C and/or highly toxic;(b) having a boiling point or initial boiling point exceeding 35 °C and toxic or slightly toxic;

List of substances 2400 (1) Among the substances and articles covered by the title of Class 4.1, those which are listed in marginal 2401 or are covered by a collective entry in that marginal are subject to the conditions set out in marginals 2400 (2) to 2422 and to the provisions of this Annex and of Annex B. They are then considered as substances and articles of this Directive.Note: For the quantities of substances listed in marginal 2401 which are not subject to the provisions for this Class, either in this Annex or in Annex B, see marginal 2401a.(2) The title of Class 4.1 covers substances and articles which have a melting-point greater than 20 °C or are pasty, according to the criteria of the penetrometer test (see Appendix A.3, marginal 3310) or are not liquid according to the ASTM D 4359-90 test method, or which are selfreactive liquids. The following are assigned to Class 4.1:- readily flammable solid substances and articles, and those which can be ignited by flying sparks or can cause fire through friction;- self-reactive substances which (at normal or elevated temperatures), are liable to undergo strongly exothermal decomposition caused by excessively high carriage temperatures or by contact with impurities;- substances related to self-reactive substances, which are distinguished from the latter by having a self-accelerating decomposition temperature greater that 75 °C, and are liable to undergo a strongly exothermic decomposition and may, in certain packagings, meet the criteria for explosive substances of Class 1;- explosives, which are wetted with such a quantity of water or alcohol or which contain such a quantity of plasticizing or inerting agent, that their explosive properties are neutralized.Notes: 1. Self-reactive substances and formulations of self-reactive substances are not considered to be self-reactive substances of Class 4.1 if:- they are explosives according to the criteria of Class 1;- they are oxidizing substances according to the assignment procedure of Class 5.1;- they are organic peroxides according to the criteria of Class 5.2;- their heat of decomposition is less than 300 J/g;- their self-accelerating decomposition temperature (SADT) is greater than 75 °C for a 50 kg package;- tests have proved that they are exempted as type G [see Appendix A.1, marginal 3104 (2) (g)].2. The heat of decomposition can be determined using any internationally recognized method e.g. Differential Scanning Calorimetry and adiabatic calorimetry.3. The self-accelerating decomposition temperature (SADT) is the lowest temperature at which self-accelerating decomposition may occur with a substance in the packaging as used during carriage. Requirements for the determination of the SADT are given in Appendix A.1, marginal 3103.(3) The substances and articles of Class 4.1 are subdivided as follows:A. Solid organic flammable substances and articlesB. Solid inorganic flammable substances and articlesC. Explosive substances in non-explosive stateD. Substances related to self-reactive substancesE. Self-reactive substances not requiring temperature controlF. Self-reactive substances requiring temperature controlG. Empty packagingsSubstances and articles of Class 4.1, with the exception of substances of 5° and 15°, classified under the various items of marginal 2401, shall be assigned to one of the following groups designated by the letter (a), (b) or (c) according to their degree of danger:(a) very dangerous(b) dangerous(c) less dangerousAll solid substances, normally wetted, which, if in the dry state, would be classified as explosives, are assigned to letter (a) of the various items.Self-reactive substances are assigned to letter (b) of the various items.Substances related to self-reactive substances are assigned to letters (b) or (c) of the various items.(4) The assignment of substances and articles not specifically named to 3° to 8° of marginal 2401, as well as within these items to the letters, can be based on experience or on the results of the test procedures in accordance with Appendix A.3, marginals 3320 and 3321. Assignment to 11° to 14°, 16° and 17° as well as within these items to the letters, shall be based on the results of the test procedure in accordance with Appendix A.3, marginals 3320 and 3321; experience shall also be taken into account when it leads to a more strictly-based assignment.(5) When substances or articles not specifically named are assigned to the items of marginal 2401 on the basis of the test procedures in accordance with Appendix A.3, marginals 3320 and 3321, the following criteria apply:(a) Readily flammable powdery, granular or pasty substances of 1°, 4°, 6° to 8°, 11°, 12°, 14°, 16° and 17°, shall be assigned to Class 4.1 if they can be easily ignited by brief contact with an ignition source (e.g a burning match), or if, in the event of ignition, the flame spreads rapidly, the combustion time is less than 45 seconds for a measured distance of 100 mm or the speed of combustion is greater than 2,2 mm/s.(b) Metal powders or powders of metal alloys of 13° shall be assigned to Class 4.1 if they can be ignited by a flame and the reaction spreads over the whole sample in less than 10 minutes.(6) When substances and articles not specifically named are assigned to the letters of the items of marginal 2401 on the basis of test procedures in accordance with Appendix A.3, marginals 3320 and 3321, the following criteria apply:(a) Flammable solids of 4°, 6° to 8°, 11°, 12°, 14°, 16° and 17°, which, when tested, have a combustion time of less than 45 seconds over a measured distance of 100 mm shall be assigned to:(i) letter (b) if the flame passes the wetted zone;(ii) letter (c) if the wetted zone stops the flame for at least four minutes;(b) Metal powders or powders of metal alloys of 13° in which, when tested, the reaction:(i) spreads over the whole length of the sample in five minutes or less, shall be assigned to letter (b);(ii) spreads over the whole length of the sample in more than five minutes shall be assigned to letter (c).(7) If substances of Class 4.1, as a result of admixtures, come into different categories of risk from those to which the substances of marginal 2401 belong, these mixtures shall be assigned to the items and letters to which they belong on the basis of their actual degree of danger.Note: For the classification of solutions and mixtures (such as preparations and wastes) see also marginal 2002 (8).(8) When substances and articles are specifically named under more than one letter of the same item of marginal 2401, the relevant letter may be determined on the basis of the results of the test procedures in accordance with Appendix A.3, marginals 3320 and 3321 and the criteria set out in (6).(9) On the basis of the test procedures in accordance with Appendix A.3, marginals 3320 and 3321 and the criteria set out in (6), it may also be determined whether the nature of a specifically named substance is such that the substance is not subject to the provisions for this Class (see marginal 2414).(10) The chemically unstable substances of Class 4.1 are to be accepted for carriage only if the necessary steps have been taken to prevent their dangerous decomposition or polymerization during carriage. To this end, it shall in particular be ensured that receptacles do not contain any substance liable to promote these reactions.(11) Flammable solids, oxidizing, assigned to identification number 3097 of the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, are not to be accepted for carriage (see, however, marginal 2002 (8), footnote (¹) to the table in paragraph 2.3.1).Self-reactive substances(12) The decomposition of self-reactive substances can be initiated by heat, contact with catalytic impurities (e.g. acids, heavy-metal compounds, bases), friction or impact. The rate of decomposition increases with temperature and varies with the substance. Decomposition, particularly if no ignition occurs, may result in the evolution of toxic gases or vapours. For certain self-reactive substances, the temperature should be controlled. Some self-reactive substances may decompose explosively, particularly if confined.This characteristic may be modified by the addition of diluents or by the use of appropriate packagings. Some self-reactive substances burn vigorously. Self-reactive substances are, for example, some compounds of the types listed below:aliphatic azo compounds (-C-N=N-C-);organic azides (-C-N3);diazonium salts (-CN2+ Z P);N-nitroso compounds (-N-N=O); andaromatic sulphohydrazides (-SO2-NH-NH2).This list is not exhaustive and substances with other reactive groups and some mixtures of substances may have similar properties.(13) Self-reactive substances are classified into seven types according to the degree of danger. The principles to be applied to the classification of substances not listed in marginal 2401 are set out in Appendix A.1, marginal 3104. The types of self-reactive substance range from type A, which is not accepted for carriage in the packaging in which it is tested, to type G, which is not subject to the provisions for self-reactive substances of Class 4.1 [see marginal 2414 (5)]. The classification of types B to F is directly related to the maximum quantity allowed in one packaging.(14) The following self-reactive substances shall not be permitted for carriage:- self-reactive substances type A [see Appendix A.1, marginal 3104 (2) (a)];(15) Self-reactive substances and formulations of self-reactive substances listed in marginal 2401 are assigned to 31° to 50°, identification numbers 3221 to 3240.The classifications for substances of 31° to 50° are based on the technically pure substance (except where a concentration of less than 100 % is specified). For other concentrations, the substance may be classified differently following the procedures in Appendix A.1, marginal 3104.The collective entries specify:- self-reactive substances types B to F, see paragraph (13) above;- physical state (liquid-solid); and- temperature control (when required), see paragraph (20) below.(16) Classification of self-reactive substances or formulations of self-reactive substances not listed in marginal 2401 and assignment to a collective entry shall be made by the competent authority of the Member State.(17) Activators, such as zinc compounds, may be added to some self-reactive substances to change their reactivity. Depending on both the type and the concentration of the activator, this may result in a decrease in thermal stability and a change in explosive properties. If either of these properties is altered, the new formulation shall be assessed in accordance with the classification procedure.(18) Samples of self-reactive substances or formulations of self-reactive substances not listed in marginal 2401, for which a complete set of test results is not available and which are to be carried for further testing or evaluation, shall be assigned to one of the appropriate entries for self-reactive substances type C provided the following conditions are met:- the available data indicates that the sample would be no more dangerous than selfreactive substances type B;- the sample is packaged in accordance with packing method OP2A or OP2B and the quantity per transport unit is limited to 10 kg;- the available data indicate that the control temperature, if any, is sufficiently low to prevent any dangerous decomposition and sufficiently high to prevent any dangerous phase separation.(19) In order to ensure safety during carriage, self-reactive substances are in many cases desensitized by use of a diluent. Where a percentage of a substance is stipulated, this refers to the percentage by mass, rounded to the nearest whole number. If a diluent is used, the self-reactive substance shall be tested with the diluant present in the concentration and form used in carriage. Diluents which may allow a self-reactive substance to concentrate to a dangerous extent in the event of leakage from a packaging shall not be used. Any diluent shall be compatible with the selfreactive substance. In this regard, compatible diluents are those solids or liquids which have no detrimental influence on the thermal stability and hazard type of the self-reactive substance. Liquid diluents in formulations requiring temperature control [see paragraph (20)] shall have a boiling point of at least 60 °C and a flashpoint not less than 5 °C. The boiling point of the liquid shall be at least 50 °C higher than the control temperature of the self-reactive substance.(20) The control temperature is the maximum temperature at which the self-reactive substance can be safely carried. It is assumed that the temperature of the immediate surroundings of a package only exceeds 55 °C during carriage for a relatively short time in a 24 hours period. In the event of loss of temperature control, it may be necessary to implement emergency procedures. The emergency temperature is the temperature at which such procedures shall be implemented.The control and emergency temperatures are derived from the SADT (see Table 1). The SADT shall be determined in order to decide whether a substance shall be subjected to temperature control during carriage. Provisions for the determination of the SADT are given in Appendix A.1, marginal 3103.>TABLE>Self-reactive substances with an SADT not greater than 55 °C shall be subject to temperature control during carriage. Where applicable, control and emergency temperatures are listed in marginal 2401. The actual temperature during carriage may be lower than the control temperature but shall be selected so as to avoid dangerous separation of phases.A.

List of substances 2430 (1) Among the substances and articles covered by the title of Class 4.2, those which are listed in marginal 2431 or are covered by a collective heading in that marginal are subject to the conditions set out in marginals 2430 (2) to 2452 and to the provisions of this Annex and of Annex B. They are then considered as substances and articles of this Directive.(2) The title of Class 4.2 covers:- substances, including mixtures and solutions (liquids or solids), which even in small quantities ignite on contact with air within five minutes. They are described as substances liable to spontaneous combustion (pyrophoric substances);- substances and articles, including mixtures and solutions, which, on contact with air, are liable to heat up without any energy input. These substances can ignite only in large quantities (kilograms) and after a long period of time (hours or days). They are described as self-heating substances.(3) The substances and articles of Class 4.2 are subdivided as follows:A. Organic substances liable to spontaneous combustion.B. Inorganic substances liable to spontaneous combustion.C. Organometallic compounds liable to spontaneous combustion.D. Empty packagings.Substances and articles of Class 4.2 classified under the various items of marginal 2431, shall be assigned to one of the following groups designated by letters (a), (b) or (c), according to their degree of danger:(a) liable to spontaneous combustion (pyrophoric),(b) self-heating,(c) slightly self-heating.(4) The assignment of substances and articles not specifically named to 3° to 5°, 12°, 15°, 16°, 31° and 32° of marginal 2431, as well as within these items to the letters, can be based on experience or the results of the test procedure in accordance with Appendix A.3, marginals 3330 to 3333.Assignment to 6° to 10°, 14°, 17° to 21° and 33°, as well as within these to the letters, shall be based on the results of the test procedure in accordance with Appendix A.3, marginals 3330 to 3333; experience shall also be taken into account when it leads to a more strictly based assignment.(5) When substances or articles not specifically named are assigned to the items of marginal 2431 on the basis of test procedures in accordance with Appendix A.3, marginals 3330 to 3333, the following criteria apply:(a) Solids liable to spontaneous combustion (pyrophoric) shall be assigned to Class 4.2 when they ignite on falling from a height of 1 m or within five minutes;(b) Liquids liable to spontaneous combustion (pyrophoric) shall be assigned to Class 4.2 when:(i) on being poured on an inert carrier, they ignite within five minutes, or(ii) in the event of a negative result of the test according to (i), when poured on a dry, indented filter paper (Whatman No 3 filter), they ignite or carbonize it within five minutes;(c) Substances in which, in a 10 cm sample cube, at 140 °C test temperature, spontaneous combustion or a rise in temperature to over 200 °C is observed within 24 hours shall be assigned to Class 4.2. This criterion is based on the temperature of the spontaneous combustion of charcoal, which is at 50 °C for a sample cube of 27 m3. Substances with a temperature of spontaneous combustion higher than 50 °C for a volume of 27 m3 are not to be assigned to Class 4.2.(6) When substances and articles not specifically named are assigned to the letters of the items of marginal 2431 on the basis of test procedures in accordance with Appendix A.3, marginals 3330 to 3333, the following criteria shall apply:(a) Substances liable to spontaneous combustion (pyrophoric) shall be assigned to letter (a);(b) Self-heating substances and articles in which, in a 2.5 cm sample cube, at 140 °C test temperature, spontaneous combustion or a rise in temperature to over 200 °C is observed within 24 hours, shall be assigned to letter (b);(c) Slightly self-heating substances in which, in a 2.5 cm sample cube, the phenomena referred to under (b) are not observed, in the given conditions, but in which in a 10 cm sample cube at 140 °C test temperature spontaneous combustion or a rise in temperature to over 200 °C is observed within 24 hours, shall be assigned to letter (c).(7) If substances of Class 4.2, as a result of admixtures, come into different categories of risk from those to which the substances of marginal 2431 belong, these mixtures shall be assigned to the items and letters to which they belong on the basis of their actual degree of danger.Note: For the classification of solutions and mixtures (such as preparations and wastes), see also marginal 2002 (8).(8) When substances are specifically named under more than one letter of the same item in marginal 2431, the relevant letter may be determined on the basis of the results of the test procedure in accordance with Appendix A.3, marginals 3330 to 3333, and the criteria set out in (6).(9) On the basis of the test procedure in accordance with Appendix A.3, marginals 3330 to 3333, and the criteria set out in (6), it may also be determined whether the nature of a specifically named substance is such that the substance is not subject to the provisions for this Class (see marginal 2444).(10) Substances and mixtures of substances having a melting point higher than 45 °C shall be considered to be solids as defined in the packaging requirements of marginals 2435 (2), 2436 (2) and 2437 (3) and (4).(11) Self-heating solids, oxidizing, assigned to identification number 3127 of the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, shall not be accepted for carriage (see, however, marginal 2002 (8), footnote (¹) to the table in paragraph 2.3.1).A.

List of substances 2550 (1) Among the substances and articles covered by the title of Class 5.2, only those which are listed in marginal 2551 or are covered by a collective heading of that marginal are subject to the conditions set out in marginals 2550 (4) to 2567 and to the provisions of this Annex and of Annex B. They are then considered as substances and articles of this Directive ().Note: For the classification of solutions and mixtures (such as preparations and wastes), see also marginal 2002 (8).(2) Organic peroxides and formulations of organic peroxides are not considered to be substances of Class 5.2, if:- they contain not more than 1,0 % available oxygen from the organic peroxides when containing not more than 1,0 % hydrogen peroxide;- they contain not more than 0,5 % available oxygen from the organic peroxides when containing more than 1,0 % but not more than 7,0 % hydrogen peroxide; or- tests have proved that they are of type G [see paragraph (6)].Note: The available oxygen content ( %) of an organic peroxide formulation is given by the formula 16 × Ó (ni × ci/mi) where:ni- number of peroxygen groups per molecule of organic peroxide i;Ci- concentration (mass %) of organic peroxide i; andmi- molecular mass of organic peroxide i.(3) The following organic peroxides are not to be permitted for carriage under the provisions of Class 5.2:- organic peroxides type A [see Appendix A.1, marginal 3104 (2)(a)].Definition(4) Class 5.2 covers organic substances which contain the bivalent -O-O- structure and may be considered derivatives of hydrogen peroxide, where one or both of the hydrogen atoms have been replaced by organic radicals.Properties(5) Organic peroxides are thermally unstable substances which are liable to exothermic self-accelerating decomposition at normal or elevated temperatures. The decomposition can be initiated by heat, contact with impurities (e.g. acids, heavy-metal compounds, amines), friction or impact. The rate of decomposition increases with temperature and varies with the organic peroxide formulation. Decomposition may result in the evolution of harmful, or flammable, gases or vapours. Some organic peroxides may decompose explosively, particularly if confined. This characteristic may be modified by the addition of diluents or by the use of appropriate packagings. Many organic peroxides burn vigorously. Contact of organic peroxides with the eyes shall be avoided. Some organic peroxides will cause serious injury to the cornea, even after brief contact, or will be corrosive to the skin.Classification of organic peroxides(6) Organic peroxides are classified into seven types according to the degree of danger. The principles to be applied to the classification of substances not listed in marginal 2551 are set out in Appendix A.1, marginal 3104. The types of organic peroxide range from type A, which is not accepted for carriage in the packaging in which it is tested, to type G, which is not subject to the provisions of Class 5.2 [see marginal 2561 (5)]. The classification of types B to F is directly related to the maximum quantity allowed in one packaging.(7) Organic peroxides and formulations of organic peroxides listed in marginal 2551 are assigned to collective headings:- 1° to 20°, identification numbers 3101 to 3120.The collective headings specify:- the type (B to F) of organic peroxide, see paragraph (6);- physical state (liquid/solid), see marginal 2553 (1); and- temperature control (when required), see paragraph (16) to (19).Mixtures of these formulations may be classified as the same type of organic peroxide as that of the most dangerous component and be transported under the conditions of transport given for this type. However, as two stable components can form a thermally less stable mixture, the selfaccelerating decomposition temperature of the mixture should be determined and, if necessary, the control and emergency temperature derived from the SADT in accordance with marginal 2550 (17).(8) Classification of organic peroxides, formulations or mixtures of organic peroxides not listed in marginal 2551 and assignment to a collective heading shall be made by the competent authority of the country of origin.(9) Samples of organic peroxides or formulations of organic peroxides not listed in marginal 2551, for which a complete set of test results in not available and which are to be carried for further testing or evaluation, shall be assigned to one of the appropriate entries for organic peroxides type C provided the following conditions are met:- the available data indicate that the sample whould be no more dangerous than organic peroxides type B;- the sample is packaged in accordance with packing method OP2A or OP2B and the quantity per transport unit is limited to 10 kg;- the available data indicate that the control temperature, if any, is sufficiently low to prevent any dangerous decomposition and sufficiently high to prevent any dangerous phase separation.Desensitization of organic peroxides(10) In order to ensure safety during carriage, organic peroxides are in many cases desensitized by organic liquids or solids, inorganic solids or water. Where a percentage of a substance is stipulated, this refers to the percentage by mass, rounded to the nearest whole number. In general, desensitization shall be such that, in case of spillage, the organic peroxide will not concentrate to a dangerous extent.(11) Unless otherwise stated for the individual organic peroxide formulation, the following definition(s) shall apply to diluents used for desensitization:- diluents type A are organic liquids which are compatible with the organic peroxide and which have a boiling point of not less than 150 °C. Type A diluents may be used for desensitizing all organic peroxides,- diluents type B are organic liquids which are compatible with the organic peroxide and which have a boiling point of less than 150 °C but not less than 60 °C and a flash-point of not less than 5 °C.Type B diluents may only be used for desensitization of organic peroxides for which temperature control is required. The boiling point of the liquid shall be at least 50 °C higher than the control temperature of the organic peroxide.(12) Diluents, other than type A or B, may be added to organic peroxide formulations as listed in marginal 2551 provided that they are compatible and do not change the classification.(13) Water may only be used for the desensitization of organic peroxides which are listed in marginal 2551 or in the competent authority decision according to paragraph (8) as being 'with water` or 'as a stable dispersion in water`. Samples of organic peroxides or formulations of organic peroxides not listed in marginal 2551 may also be desensitised with water provided the requirements of paragraph (9) are met.(14) Organic and inorganic solids may be used for desensitization of organic peroxides provided that they are compatible.(15) Compatible liquids and solids are those which have no detrimental influence on the thermal stability and hazard type of the organic peroxide formulation.Temperature control provisions(16) Certain organic peroxides may only be carried under temperature-controlled conditions. The control temperature is the maximum temperature at which the organic peroxide can be safely carried. It is assumed that the temperature of the immediate surroundings of a package only exceeds 55 °C during carriage for a relatively short time in a 24 hour period. In the event of loss of temperature control, it may be necessary to implement emergency procedures. The emergency temperature is the temperature at which such procedures shall be implemented.(17) The control and emergency temperatures are derived from the self-accelerating decomposition temperature (SADT) which is defined as the lowest temperature at which self-accelerating decomposition may occur with a substance in the packaging as used during carriage (see Table 1). The SADT shall be determined in order to decide whether a substance shall be subjected to temperature control during carriage. Provisions for the determination of the SADT are given in Appendix A.1, marginal 3103.>TABLE>(18) The following organic peroxides shall be subject to temperature control during carriage:- organic peroxides types B and C with an SADT &le; 50 °C;- organic peroxides type D showing a violent or medium effect when heated under confinement with an SADT &le; 50 °C or showing a low or no effect when heated under confinement with an SADT &le; 45 °C; and- organic peroxides types E and F with an SADT &le; 45 °C.Note: Provisions for the determination of the effects of heating under confinement are given in Appendix A.1, marginal 3103.(19) Where applicable, control and emergency temperatures are listed in marginal 2551. The actual temperature during carriage may be lower than the control temperature but shall be selected so as to avoid dangerous separation of phases.2551 A.

List of substances 2600 (1) Among the substances and articles covered by the title of Class 6.1, those which are listed in marginal 2601 or are covered by a collective heading of that marginal are subject to the conditions set out in marginals 2600(2) to 2622 and to the provisions of this Annex and of Annex B. They are then considered as substances and articles of this Directive.Note: For the quantities of substances of marginal 2601 which are not subject to the provisions for this class either in this Annex or in Annex B, see marginal 2601a.(2) The title of Class 6.1 covers the toxic substances of which it is known by experience or regarding which it is presumed from experiments on animals that in relatively small quantity they are able by a single action or by action of short duration to cause damage to human health, or death, by inhalation, by cutaneous absorption or by ingestion.Substances of Class 6.1 are subdivided as follows:A. Substances which are highly toxic on inhalation with a flash-point below 23 °C which are not substances of Class 3;B. Organic substances which have a flash-point of not less than 23 °C or non-flammable organic substances;C. Organometallic compounds or carbonyls;D. Inorganic substances which may release toxic gases on contact with water (or atmospheric humidity), aqueous solutions or acids and other toxic water-reactive () substances;E. Other inorganic substances and metallic salts of organic substances;F. Substances and preparations used as pesticides;G. Substances intended for laboratories and experiments and for the manufacture of pharmaceutical products, if not listed in other items of this Class;H. Empty packagings.(3) Substances and articles of Class 6.1, other than the substances of 1° to 5°, which are classified under the various items of marginal 2601, shall be assigned to one of the following groups designated by the letters (a), (b) or (c), according to their degree of toxicity:(a) highly toxic substances(b) toxic substances(c) slightly toxic substancesSubstances, mixtures and solutions, including pesticides of 71° to 87°, not expressly mentioned shall be classified under the appropriate item and letter according to the following criteria:1 To assess the degree of toxicity, account shall be taken of human experience of instances of accidental poisoning, as well as special properties possessed by any individual substances: liquid state, high volatility, any special likelihood of cutaneous absorption, and special biological effects.2. In the absence of observations on humans, the degree of toxicity shall be assessed using the available data from animal experiments in accordance with the table below:>TABLE>2.1. Where a substance exhibits different degrees of toxicity for two or more kinds of exposure, it shall be classified under the highest such degree of toxicity.2.2. Substances meeting the criteria of Class 8 and with an inhalation toxicity of dusts and mists (LC50) leading to Packing Group I shall only be accepted for an allocation to class 6.1 if the toxicity through oral ingestion or dermal contact is at least in the range of Group (a) or (b). Otherwise an assignment to Class 8 shall be made if appropriate (see footnote 1) marginal 2800).LD50 value for acute oral toxicity2.3. That dose of the substance administered which is most likely to cause death within 14 days in one half of both male and female young adult albino rats. The number of animals tested shall be sufficient to give a statistically significant result and shall be in conformity with good pharmacological practices. The result is expressed in mg per kg body mass.LD50 value for acute dermal toxicity2.4. That dose of the substance which, administered by continuous contact for 24 hours with the bare skin of albino rabbits, is most likely to cause death within 14 days in one half of the animals tested. The number of animals tested shall be sufficient to give a statistically significant result and shall be in conformity with good pharmacological practices. The result is expressed in mg per kg body mass.LC50 value for acute toxicity on inhalation2.5. That concentration of vapour, mist or dust which, administered by continuous inhalation for one hour to both male and female young adult albino rats, is most likely to cause death within 14 days in one half of the animals tested. If the substance is administered to the animals as dust or mist, more than 90 % of the particles available for inhalation in the testshall have a diameter of 10 ìm or less, provided that it is reasonably foreseeable that such concentrations could be encountered by humans during carriage. The result is expressed in mg per litre of air for dusts and mists and in ml per m3 of air (ppm) for vapours.2.6. These criteria for inhalation toxicity of dusts and mists are based on LC50 data relating to 1-hour exposure, and where such information is available it shall be used. However, where only LC50 data relating to 4-hour exposure are available, such figures can be multiplied by four and the product substituted in the above criteria, i.e. LC50 value multiplied by four (4 hour) is considered the equivalent of LC50 (1 hour).Inhalation toxicity of vapours3. Liquids giving off toxic vapours shall be classified into the following groups where 'V` is the saturated vapour concentration (in ml/m3 of air) (volatility) at 20 °C and standard atmospheric pressure:>TABLE> These criteria for inhalation toxicity of vapours are based on LC50 data relating to 1-hour exposure, and where such information is available, it shall be used.However, where only LC50 data relating to 4-hour exposure to the vapours are available, such figures can be multiplied by two and the product substituted in the above criteria, i.e. LC50 (4 hour) × 2 is considered the equivalent of LC50 (1 hour).Inhalation toxicity of vapoursGroup borderlines>REFERENCE TO A FILM>In this figure, the criteria are expressed in graphical form, as an aid to easy classification. However, due to approximations inherent in the use of graphs, substances falling on or near group borderlines shall be checked using numerical criteria.Mixtures of liquids4. Mixtures of liquids which are toxic on inhalation shall be assigned to danger categories according to the following criteria:4.1. If LC50 is known for each of the toxic substances constituting the mixture, the group may be determined as follows:(a) calculation of the LC50 of the mixture:LC50 (mixture) = wherefi = molar fraction of constituent i of the mixture.LC50i = average lethal concentration of constituent i in ml/m3.(b) calculation of volatility of each mixture constituent:Vi = Pi × >NUM>106>DEN>101,3ml/m3wherePi = partial pressure of constituent i in kPa at 20 °C and at standard atmospheric pressure.(c) calculation of the ratio of volatility to LC50:R = (d) the values calculated for LC50 (mixture) and R are then used to determine the group of the mixture:Group (a): R &ge; 10 and LC50 (mixture) &le; 1 000 ml/m3.Group (b): R &ge; and LC50 (mixture) &le; 3 000 ml/m3, if the mixture does not meet the criteria for (a)Group (c): R &ge; 1/5 and LC50 (mixture) &le; 5 000 ml/m3, if the mixture does not meet the criteria of group (a) or group (b).4.2. In the absence of LC50 data on the toxic constituent substances, the mixture may be assigned to a group based on the following simplified threshold toxicity tests. When these threshold tests are used, the most restrictive group shall be determined and used for carrying the mixture.4.3. A mixture is assigned to group (a) only if it meets both of the following criteria:(i) A sample of the liquid mixture is vaporized and diluted with air to create a test atmosphere of 1 000 ml/m3 vaporized mixture in air. Ten albino rats (5 male and 5 female) are exposed to the test atmosphere for 1 hour and observed for 14 days. If five or more of the animals die within the 14-day observation period, the mixture is presumed to have an LC50 equal to or less than 1 000 ml/m3.(ii) A sample of vapour in equilibrium with the liquid mixture is diluted with 9 equal volumes of air to form a test atmosphere. Ten albino rats (5 male and 5 female) are exposed to the test atmosphere for 1 hour and observed for 14 days. If five or more of the animals die within the 14-day observation period, the mixture is presumed to have a volatility equal to or greater than 10 times the mixture LC50.4.4. A mixture is assigned to group (b) only if it meets both of the following criteria, and does not meet the criteria for group (a):(i) A sample of the liquid mixture is vaporized and diluted with air to create a test atmosphere of 3 000 ml/m3 vaporized mixture in air. Ten albino rats (5 male and 5 female) are exposed to the test atmosphere for 1 hour and observed for 14 days. If five or more of the animals die within the 14-day observation period, the mixture is presumed to have an LC50 equal to or less than 3 000 ml/m3.(ii) A sample of the vapour in equilibrium with the liquid mixture is used to form a test atmosphere. Ten albino rats (5 male and 5 female) are exposed to the test atmosphere for 1 hour and observed for 14 days. If five or more of the animals die within the 14-day observation period, the mixture is presumed to have a volatility equal to or greater than the mixture LC50.4.5. A mixture is assigned to group (c) only if it meets both of the following criteria, and does not meet the criteria for groups (a) or (b):(i) A sample of the liquid mixture is vaporized and diluted with air to create a test atmosphere of 5 000 ml/m3 vaporized mixture in air. Ten albino rats (5 male and 5 female) are exposed to the test atmosphere for 1 hour and observed for 14 days. If five or more of the animals die within the 14-day observation period, the mixture is presumed to have an LC50 equal to or less than 5 000 ml/m3.(ii) The vapour concentration (volatility) of the liquid mixture is measured and if the vapour concentration is equal to or greater than 1 000 ml/m3, the mixture is presumed to have a volatility equal to or greater than 1/5 the mixture LC50.(4) When, as a result of additions, substances of Class 6.1 pass into other danger categories than those to which the substances mentioned by name in marginal 2601 belong, these mixtures or solutions shall be listed under the items and letters to which they belong, based on their actual degree of danger.Note: For classification of solutions and mixtures (such as preparations and wastes), see also marginal 2002 (8).(5) On the basis of the criteria of paragraph (3), it may also be determined whether the nature of a solution or mixture mentioned by name or containing a substance mentioned by name is such that the solution or mixture is not subject to the requirements for this Class.(6) Flammable liquids which are toxic on inhalation, having a flash-point below 23 °C, except substances of 1° to 10°, are substances of Class 3 (see marginal 2301, 11° to 19°).(7) Flammable liquids slightly toxic, with the exception of substances and preparations used as pesticides, having a flash-point between 23 °C to 61 °C, inclusive, are substances of Class 3 (see marginal 2301).(8) Self-heating substances slightly toxic are substances of Class 4.2 (see marginal 2431).(9) Water-reactive substances slightly toxic are substances of Class 4.3 (see marginal 2471).(10) Oxidizing substances slightly toxic are substances of Class 5.1 (see marginal 2501).(11) Substances slightly toxic and slightly corrosive are substances of Class 8 (see marginal 2801).(12) Chemically unstable substances of Class 6.1 shall not be accepted for carriage unless the necessary steps have been taken to prevent their dangerous decomposition or polymerization during carriage.

List of substances 2800 (1) Among the substances and articles covered by the title of Class 8, those which are listed in marginal 2801 or are covered by a collective heading in that marginal are subject to the conditions set out in marginals 2800 (2) to 2822 and to the provisions of this Annex and of Annex B. They are then considered as substances and articles of this Directive.Note: For the quantities of substances listed in marginal 2801 which are not subject to the provisions for this Class, either in this Annex or in Annex B, see marginal 2801a.(2) The title of Class 8 covers substances which by chemical action attack epithelial tissue - of skin or mucous membranes - with which tey are in contact, and substances which in the event of leakage are capable of damaging or destroying other goods, or means of transport, and may also cause other hazards. The title of this Class also covers other substances which form a corrosive liquid only in the presence of water, or which produce corrosive vapour or mist in the presence of natural moisture of the air.(3)(a) Substances and articles of Class 8 are subdivided as follows:A. Acid substances;B. Basic substances;C. Other corrosive substances;D. Articles containing corrosive substances;E. Empty packagings.(b) Substances and articles of Class 8 which are classified under the various items of marginal 2801 other than substances of 6°, 14° and 15° shall be assigned to one of the following groups designated by the letter (a), (b) and (c) according to their degree of corrosivity:(a) highly corrosive;(b) corrosive;(c) slightly corrosive.(c) Allocation of substances to groups (a), (b) and (c) has been on the basis of experience taking into account such additional factors as inhalation risk () and reactivity with water (including the formation of dangerous decomposition products). The degree of corrosivity of substances not specifically named, including mixtures, can be judged by the length of time of contact necessary to produce full thickness destruction of human skin.Substances which are judged not to cause full thickness destruction of human skin shall still be considered for their potential to cause corrosion to certain metal surfaces. In making this grouping, account should be taken of human experience in instances of accidental exposure. In the absence of human experience, the grouping should be based on data obtained from animal experiments in accordance with OECD Guideline 404 ().(d) Substances that cause full thickness destruction of intact skin tissue within an observation period up to 60 minutes starting after the exposure time of 3 minutes or less are substances of group (a).(e) Substances that cause full thickness destruction of intact skin tissue within an observation period up to 14 days starting after the exposure time of more than 3 minutes but not more than 60 minutes are substances of group (b).(f) The following are substances of group (c):- substances that cause full thickness destruction of intact skin tissue within an observation period up to 14 days starting after the exposure time of more than 60 minutes but not more than 4 hours;- substances which are judged not to cause full thickness destruction of intact skin tissue, but which exhibit a corrosion rate on steel or aluminium surfaces exceeding 6,25 mm a year at a test temperature of 55 °C. For the purposes of testing steel, type P3 (ISO 2604 (IV); 1975) or a similar type, and for testing aluminium, non-clad types 7075-T6 or AZ5GU-T6 shall be used.(4) If substances of Class 8, as a result of admixtures, come into different categories of risk from those to which the substances specifically named in marginal 2801 belong, these mixtures or solutions shall be assigned to the items and groups to which they belong on the basis of their actual degree of danger.Note: For the classification of solutions and mixtures (such as preparations and wastes), see also marginal 2002 (8).(5) On the basis of the criteria set out in (3), it may also be determined whether the nature of a solution or a mixture specifically named or containing a specifically named substance is such that the solution or mixture is not subject to the provisions for this class.(6) For the packaging requirements of marginals 2805 (2), 2806 (3) and 2807 (3), substances and mixtures of substances having a melting point above 45 °C are considered to be solids.(7)(a) Flammable corrosive liquids having a flashpoint below 23 °C, other than substances of 54° (a) and 68° (a), are substances of Class 3 (see marginal 2301, items 21° to 26°).(b) Flammable, slightly corrosive liquids having a flashpoint between 23 °C and 61 °C, are substances of Class 3 (see marginal 2301, 33°).(c) Corrosive substances which are highly toxic by inhalation, as defined in marginal 2600 (3), are substances of Class 6.1 (see marginal 2601).(8) The chemically unstable substances of Class 8 are to be accepted for carriage only if the necessary steps have been taken to prevent their dangerous decomposition or polymerization during carriage. To this end it should in particular be ensured that receptacles do not contain any substance liable to promote these reactions.(9) 1910 calcium oxide and 2812 sodium aluminate, identification numbers assigned in the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, are not subject to the provisions of this Directive.(10) The flashpoint referred to below shall be determined in the manner described in Appendix A.3.A.

The provision concerning permanent deformation is not applicable to receptacles which, being made of a plastics material, soften.3293-3299APPENDIX A.3 A. TESTS RELATING TO FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS OF CLASSES 3, 6.1 AND 8Test for determining flash-point3300 (1) The flash-point shall be determined by means of one of the following types of apparatus:(a) for use at temperatures not exceeding 50 °C: Abel, Abel-Pensky, Luchaire-Finances, Tag;(b) for use at temperatures above 50 °C: Pensky-Martens, Luchaire-Finances;(c) failing these, any other closed-cup apparatus capable of giving results within 2 °C of those which an apparatus listed above would give at the same place.(2) To determine the flash-point of paints, gums and similar viscous products containing solvents, only apparatus and test methods suitable for determining the flash-point of viscous liquids shall be used, such as method A of IP standard 170/94 or more recent IP () standards or German standard DIN 53 213.3301 The test procedure shall be:(a) for the Abel apparatus, that of IP () standard 170/94; this standard may also be used with the Abel-Pensky apparatus;(b) for the Pensky-Martens apparatus, that of IP () standard 34/88, or that of ASTM () standard D.93/80;(c) for the Tag apparatus, that of ASTM () standard D.56/87;(d) for the Luchaire apparatus, that of the French standard NFT 60.103.If any other apparatus is used, the following precautions shall be taken:1. The test shall be performed in a place free from draughts.2. The rate of temperature increase of the liquid being tested shall never exceed 5 °C per minute.3. The pilot-flame shall be 5 mm (± 0,5 mm) long.4. The pilot-flame shall be applied to the opening of the receptacle at each rise of 1 °C in the temperature of the liquid.3302 In the event of a dispute as to the classification of a flammable liquid, the item number proposed by the consignor shall be accepted if a check-test of the flash-point, yields a result not differing by more than 2 °C from the limits (23 °C, and 61 °C respectively) stated in marginal 2301. If the difference is more than 2 °C a second check-test shall be carried out, and the highest figure obtained shall be adopted.Test for determining peroxide content3303 To determine the peroxide content of a liquid, the procedure is as follows:A quantity p (about 5 g, weighed to the nearest 0,01 g) of the liquid to be titrated is placed in an Erlenmeyer flask; 20 cm3 of acetic anhydride and about 1 g of powdered solid potassium iodide are added; the flask is shaken and, after 10 minutes, heated for 3 minutes to about 60 °C. When it has been left to cool for 5 minutes, 25 cm3 of water are added. After this, it is left standing for half an hour, then the liberated iodine is titrated with a decinormal solution of sodium thiosulphate, no indicator being added; complete discoloration indicates the end of the the reaction. If n is the number of cm3 of thiosulphate solution required, the percentage of peroxide (calculated as H2O2) present in the sample is obtained by the formula >NUM>7 n>DEN>100 PMethod of testing for combustibility3304 (1) The method describes a procedure for determining whether the substance, when heated under the test conditions and exposed to an external source of flame applied in a standard manner, sustains combustion.(2) Principle of the method: a metal block with a concave depression (test portion well) is heated to a specified temperature. A specified volume of the substance under test is transferred to the well and its ability to sustain combustion is noted after application and subsequent removal of a standard flame under specified conditions.(3) Apparatus: a combustibility tester consisting of a block of aluminium alloy or other corrosion-resistant metal of high thermal conductivity is used. The block has a concave well and a pocket drilled to take a thermometer. A small gas jet assembly on a swivel is attached to the block. The handle and gas inlet for the gas jet may be fitted at any convenient angle to the gas jet. A suitable apparatus is shown in figure 1 and the essential dimensions are given in figures 1 and 2.The following equipment is needed:(a) Gauge, for checking that the height of the centre of the gas jet above the top of the test portion well is 2,2 mm (see figure 1);(b) Thermometer, mercury in glass, for horizontal operation, with a sensitivity not less than 1mm/°C, or other measuring device of equivalent sensitivity permitting reading at 0,5 °C intervals. When in position in the block, the thermometer bulb should be surrounded with thermally conducting thermoplastic compound;c) Hotplate, fitted with a temperature-control device. (Other types of apparatus with suitable temperature-control facilities may be employed to heat the metal block);(d) Stopwatch, or other suitable timing device;(e) Syringe, capable of delivering 2 ml to an accuracy of ± 0,1 ml; and(f) Fuel source, butane test fuel.(4) Sampling: The sample shall be representative of the substance to be tested and shall be supplied and kept in a tightly closed container prior to test. Because of the possibility of loss of volatile constituents, the sample shall receive only the minimum treatment to ensure its homogeneity. After removing each test portion, the sample container shall be immediately closed tightly to ensure that no volatile components escape from the container; if this closure is incomplete, an entirely new sample shall be taken.(5) Procedure: Carry out the determination in triplicate.WARNING - Do not carry out the test in a small confined area (for example a glove box), because of the hazard of explosions.(a) It is essential that the apparatus is set up in a completely draught-free area (see warning) and in the absence of strong light, to facilitate observation of flash, flame, etc.(b) Place the metal block on the hotplate or heat the metal block by other suitable means so that its temperature, as indicated by the thermometer placed in the metal block, is maintained at the specified temperature with a tolerance of ± 1 °C. The test temperature is 60,5/75 °C [see (h)]. Correct this temperature for the difference in barometric pressure from the standard atmospheric pressure pressure (101,3 kPa) by raising the test temperature for a high pressure or lowering the test temperature for a lower pressure by 1,0 °C for each 4 kPa difference. Ensure that the top of the metal block is exactly horizontal. Use the gauge to check that the jet is 2,2 mm above the top of the well when in the test position.(c) Light the butane test fuel with the jet away from the test position (i.e. in the 'off` position, away from the well). Adjust the size of the flame so that it is 8 mm to 9 mm high and approximately 5 mm wide.(d) Using the syringe, take from the sample container at least 2 ml of the sample and rapidly transfer a test portion of 2 ml ± 0,1 ml to the well of the combustibility tester and immediately start the timing device.(e) After a heating time of 60 s, by which time the test portion is deemed to have reached its equilibrium temperature, and if the test fluid has not ignited, swing the test flame into the test position over the edge of the pool of liquid. Maintain it in this position for 15 s and then return it to the 'off` position while observing the behaviour of the test portion. The test flame should remain alight throughout the test.(f) For each test observe and record:(i) whether there is ignition and sustained combustion or flashing, or neither, of the test portion before the test flame is moved into the test position;(ii) whether the test portion ignites while the test flame is in the test position, and, if so, how long combustion is sustained after the test flame is returned to the 'off` position.(g) If sustained combustion interpreted in accordance with paragraph (6) is not found, repeat the complete procedure with new test portions, but with a heating time of 30 s.(h) If sustained combustion interpreted in accordance with paragraph (6) is not found at a test temperature of 60,5 °C, repeat the complete procedure with new test portions, but at a test temperature of 75 °C.(6) Interpretation of observations: The substance shall be assessed as sustaining combustions if, for either of the heating times, one of the following occurs with either of the test portions:(a) When the test flame is in the 'off` position, the test portion ignites and sustains combustion;(b) The test portion ignites while the test flame is in the test position, maintained for 15 s, and sustains combustion for more than 15 s after the test flame has been returned to the 'off` position;Intermittent flashing shall not be interpreted as sustained combustion. Normally, at the end of 15 s, the combustion has either clearly ceased or continues. In cases of doubt, the substance shall be deemed to sustain combustion;(c) Substances are considered not to sustain combustion if their fire point according to ISO 2592:1973 is greater than 100 C° or if they are water miscible solutions with a water content of more than 90 % by mass.Design and dimensions of the test apparatusfor determining the combustibility of flammable liquids>REFERENCE TO A FILM>Figure 1 - Combustibility tester>REFERENCE TO A FILM>Figure 2 - Test gas jet and flame3305-3309B. TEST FOR DETERMINING FLUIDITY3310 To determine the fluidity of liquid or viscous substances and mixtures of Class 3 and pasty substances of Class 4.1, the following test method shall be used.(a) Test apparatusCommercial penetrometer conforming to ISO Standard 2137-1985, with a guide rod of 47,5 g ± 0,05 g; sieve disc of duralumin with conical bores and a mass of 102,5 g ± 0,05 g (see Figure 1); penetration vessel with an inside diameter of 72 mm to 80 mm for reception of the sample.(b) Test procedureThe sample is poured into the penetration vessel not less than half an hour before the measurement. The vessel is then hermetically closed and left standing until the measurement. The sample in the hermetically closed penetration vessel is heated to 35 °C ± 0,5 °C and is placed on the penetrometer table immediately prior to measurement (not more than two minutes). The point S of the sieve disc is then brought into contact with the surface of the liquid and the rate of penetration is measured.(c) Evaluation of test resultsA substance is not subject to the provisions of Class 3 but to those of Class 4.1 of ADR if, after the centre S has been brought into contact with the surface of the sample, the penetration indicated by the dial gauge:(i) after a loading time of 5 s ± 0,1 s, is less than 15,0 mm ± 0,3 mm; or(ii) after a loading time of 5 s ± 0,1 s, is greater than 15,0 mm ± 0,3 mm, but the additional penetration after another 55 s ± 0,5 s is less than 5,0 mm ± 0,5 mm.Note: In the case of samples having a flow point, it is often impossible to produce a steady level surface in the penetration vessel and, hence, to establish satisfactory initial measuring conditions for the contact of the point S. Furthermore, with some samples, the impact of the sieve disc can cause an elastic deformation of the surface and, in the first few seconds, simulate a deeper penetration. In all these cases, it may be appropriate to make the evaluation in (b) above.Figure 3 - Penetrometer>REFERENCE TO A FILM>>REFERENCE TO A FILM>3311-3319C. TESTS RELATING TO FLAMMABLE SOLIDS OF CLASS 4.1Test methods for readily combustible solids3320 (1) Preliminary screening test(a) The substance in its commercial form shall be formed into an unbroken strip or powder train about 250 mm long by 20 mm wide by 10 mm high on a cool, impervious, low heat-conducting base plate.(b) A hot flame (minimum temperature 1 000 °C) from a gas burner (minimum diameter 5 mm) is applied to one end of the powder train until the powder ignites or for a maximum of 2 minutes (5 minutes for powders of metals or metal alloys). It shall be noted whether combustion propagates along 200 mm of the train within the two-minute test period (or 20 minutes for metal powders).(c) If the substance does not ignite and propagate combustion either by burning with flame or smouldering along 200 mm of the powder train within the two-minute (or 20 minute) test period, the substance shall not be classified as a flammable solid and no further testing is required.(d) If the substance propagates burning over a 200 mm length of the powder train in less than two minutes, or less than 20 minutes for metal powders, the full test programme below shall be carried out.(2) Burning rate testIn order to differentiate between any substance that can be ignited and those which burn rapidly or whose burning behaviour is particularly dangerous, only substances whose burning rate exceeds a certain limit shall be classified in Class 4.1. A burning time of less than 45 s measured over a length of 100 mm according to the procedure in marginal 3320 (3) is taken as the criterion. An attempt is made to ignite the substance under the conditions defined below and the burning time is measured. The pile is wetted beyond the zone over which the burning rate is measured and the effect on flame propagation is noted.(3) Test procedure(a) The powdered or granular substance, in its commercial form, is loosely filled into a mould 250 mm in length with triangular cross-section of inner height 10 mm and width 20 mm. On both sides of the mould, in the longitudinal direction, two metal sheets are mounted as lateral limitations which extend 2 mm beyond the upper edge of the triangular cross-section (see Figure 2). Mould and accessories for the preparation of the pile). The mould is then dropped three times from a height of 2 cm onto a solid surface. The lateral limitations are then removed and an impervious, non-combustible, low heat-conducting plate is placed on top of the mould, the apparatus inverted and the mould removed. Pasty substances are spread on a non-combustible surface in the form of a rope 250 mm in length with a cross-section of about 1 cm2. Any suitable ignition source such as a small flame or a hot wire of minimum temperature 1 000 °C is used to ignite the pile at one end. In the case of a moisture-sensitive substance, the test shall be carried out as quickly as possible, after removal of the substance from the container.(b) The pile shall be arranged across the draught in a fume cupboard. The air speed shall be sufficient to prevent fumes escaping into the laboratory and shall not be varied during the test. A draught screen may be erected around the apparatus.(c) 1 ml of a wetting solution shall be added to the pile 30-40 mm beyond the 100 mm timing zone. Apply the wetting solution to the ridge drop by drop, ensuring the whole cross-section of the pile is wetted without loss of liquid from the sides (). The liquid shall be applied over the shortest possible length of the pile consistent with avoiding loss from the sides. This part of the test is not applicable to metal powders.(d) One end of the pile shall be ignited. When the pile has burned over a length of 80 mm, measure the rate of burning over the next 100 mm. Note whether or not the wetted zone stops propagation of the flame. The test shall be performed six times using a clean cool plate each time, unless a positive result is observed earlier.Criteria for classification3321 (1) Powdered, granular or pasty substances shall be classified in Class 4.1 when the burning time of one or more of the tests, in accordance with the test method described in marginal 3320 (2), is less than 45 s or the rate of burning is more than 2,2 mm s. Powders of metals or metal alloys shall be classified in this class when they can be ignited and the reaction spreads over the whole length of the sample in 10 minutes or less.(2) Assignment to a letter in the various items(a) Any solid, normally wetted, which if in a dry state would be classified as an explosive shall be assigned to letter (a).(b) The following shall be assigned to letter (b):any self-reactive substance, any combustible solid (other than metal powders) tested in accordance with marginal 3320 if the burning time is less than 45 s and the flame passes the wetted zone, and powders of metal or metal alloys if the reaction spreads over the whole length of the sample in 5 minutes or less.(c) The following shall be assigned to letter (c):any combustible solid (other than metal powders) tested in accordance with marginal 3320 if the burning time is less than 45 s and the wetted zone stops the flame propagation for at least 4 minutes, and metal powders if the reaction spreads over the whole length of the sample in more than 5 minutes.(d) For solids which may cause or contribute to a fire through friction, a letter in the various items shall be assigned by analogy with existing classifications or in accordance with any appropriate special conditions.3322-3329Figure 4Mould and accessories for the preparation of the pile(All dimensions in millimetres)>REFERENCE TO A FILM>D.

This procedure shall be repeated six times unless a positive result is obtained earlier.(2) Test method for liquid pyrophoric substancesThe test for liquid substances shall be in two parts; the first to determine whether the substance ignites when added to an inert carrier and exposed to air, the second if a negative result is obtained in the first. The second part determines whether the substance chars or ignites a filter paper.(3) Test procedure for liquid pyrophoric substances(a) Part 1 - A porcelain cup of about 10 cm diameter shall be filled with diatomaceous earth or silica gel at room temperature to a height of about 5 mm. Approximately 5 ml of the liquid to be tested shall be poured into the prepared porcelain cup and it shall be observed whether the substance ignites within five minutes. This procedure shall be repeated six times unless a positive result is obtained earlier.(b) Part 2 - A 0,5 ml test sample shall be delivered from a syringe to an indented dry No 3 Whatman filter paper. The test is conducted at 25 °C ± 2 °C and at a relative humidity of 50 % ± 5 %.

This procedure shall be repeated three times, using a new filter paper each time, unless a positive result is obtained earlier.Criteria for classification3331 (1) A solid substance shall be classified in Class 4.2 and considered to be pyrophoric if the sample ignites in one of the tests. A liquid shall be classified in Class 4.2 and considered to be pyrophoric if it ignites in Part 1 of the test, or if the filter paper is ignited or charred in Part 2 of the test.(2) Assignment to a letter in the various itemsAll pyrophoric solids and liquids shall be assigned to letter (a).3332 (1) Test method for self-heating substancesSamples in 2,5 cm and 10 cm cubes shall be kept at a constant temperature for 24 hours and observations shall be made whether the temperature of the sample exceeds 200 °C.

Each container is housed in a cubic container cover made from stainless steel net with a mesh size of 0,595 mm () and slightly larger than the sample container, so that the container fits in this cover. In order to avoid the effect of air circulation, this cover is installed in a second stainless steel cage, made from a net with a mesh size of 0,595 mm () and 15 cm x 15 cm x 25 cm in size, shall be further installed to house the cover.(c) Chromel-Alumel thermocouples of 0,3 mm diameter shall be used for temperature measurement. One is placed in the centre of the sample and another between the sample container and the oven wall. The temperatures shall be measured continuously.(d) The sample, powdered or granular, shall be prepared in its commercial form and filled to the brim of the sample container and the container tapped several times. If the sample settles, more shall be added. If the sample is heaped it shall be levelled to the brim. The container shall be housed in the cover and hung at the centre of the oven.(e) The oven temperature shall be raised to 140 °C test temperature and maintained for 24 hours. The temperature of the sample shall be recorded. The first test shall be conducted with a 10 cm cube sample. Observations shall be made to determine whether spontaneous ignition occurs or whether the temperature of the sample exceeds 200 °C. If negative results are obtained, no further test is necessary. If positive results are obtained, a second test shall be conducted with a 2,5 cm cube sample to determine the packing group assignment.Criteria for classification3333 (1) A substance shall be classified in Class 4.2 if, in the first test using a 10 cm cube sample, spontaneous ignition occurs or the temperature of the sample exceeds 200 °C during the 24 hours test period. This criterion is based on the self-ignition temperature of charcoal, which is 50 °C for a cubic volume of 27 m3 and 140 °C for a one litre sample. Substances with self-ignition temperatures higher than 50 °C for 27 m3 shall not be classified in Class 4.2.(2) Assignment to a letter in the various items(a) Any substance which gives a positive result when tested with the 2,5 cm cube sample shall be assigned to letter (b).(b) Any substance which gives a positive result when tested with the 10 cm cube sample but which gives a negative result with a 2,5 cm cube sample shall be assigned to letter (c).3334-3339E. TEST RELATING TO SUBSTANCES OF CLASS 4.3 WHICH,IN CONTACT WITH WATER, EMIT FLAMMABLE GASES3340 (1) Test methodThis test method is used to determine whether the reaction of a substance with water leads to the development of a dangerous amount of flammable gases. The test method can be applied to solid and liquid substances. It is not applicable to pyrophoric substances. The substance shall be tested in its commercial form at ambient temperature (20 °C) by bringing it into contact with water. If spontaneous ignition of the gas occurs at any stage, no further testing is necessary.(2) Test procedure(a) A small quantity (approximately 2 mm diameter) of the test substance shall be placed in a trough of distilled water at 20 °C. It shall be noted (i) whether any gas is emitted and (ii) if spontaneous ignition of the gas occurs.(b) A small quantity of the test substance (approximately 2 mm diameter) shall be placed at the centre of a filter paper which is floated flat on the surface of distilled water at 20 °C in a suitable vessel, e.g. a 100 mm diameter evaporating dish. The filter paper is to keep the substance in one place, under which condition the likelihood of spontaneous ignition of any gas is greatest. It shall be noted (i) whether any gas is emitted and (ii) whether spontaneous ignition of the gas occurs.(c) The test substance shall be made into a pile approximately 2 cm high and 3 cm diameter with a hollow in the top. A few drops of water shall be added to the hollow. It shall be noted whether (i) any gas is emitted and (ii) whether spontaneous ignition occurs.d) For solid substances, the package shall be inspected for any powder of &lt;500 ìm. If that powder constitutes more than 1 % (mass) of the total, or if the substance is friable, then the whole of the sample shall be ground to a powder before testing to allow for a reduction in particle size during handling and carriage. Otherwise, as for liquids, the substance shall be tested in its commercial state. The test shall be performed at ambient temperature (20 °C) and atmospheric pressure, and repeated three times.e) Water is put into the dropping funnel and enough of the substance (up to a maximum weight of 25 g) to produce between 100 cm3 and 250 cm3 of gas is weighed and placed in a conical flask. The tap of the dropping funnel is opened to let the water into the conical flask and a stop-watch is started. The volume of gas emitted is measured by any suitable means. The time taken for all the gas to be emitted is noted and, where possible, intermediate readings are taken. The rate of emission of gas is calculated over seven hours at one hour intervals. If the rate of emission is erratic or is increasing after seven hours, the measuring time shall be extended to a maximum of five days. The five-day test may be stopped if the rate of emission becomes steady or continually decreases and sufficient data have been established to be able to assign the substance to a group or to decide that the substance is not to be classified in Class 4.3. If the chemical identity of the gas is unknown, the gas shall be tested for flammability.Criteria for classification3341 (1) A substance shall be classified in Class 4.3 if spontaneous ignition occurs at any stage of the test procedure, or if flammable gas is emitted at a rate greater than 1 litre per kilogramme of the substance per hour.(2) Assignment to a letter in the various items(a) The following shall be assigned to letter (a):any substance which reacts vigorously with water at ambient temperature and emits gas liable to ignite spontaneously, or which reacts readily with water at ambient temperature such that the rate of emission of flammable gas in one minute is equal to or greater than 10 litres per kilogramme of substance.(b) The following shall be assigned to letter (b):any substance which reacts readily with water at ambient temperature such that the maximum rate of emission of flammable gas is equal to or greater than 20 litres per kilogramme of substance per hour, and which does not meet the criteria for letter (a).(c) The following shall be assigned to letter (c):any substance which reacts slowly with water at ambient temperature such that the maximum rate of emission of flammable gas is equal to or greater than 1 litre per kilogramme of substance per hour, and which does not meet the criteria for letters (a) and (b).3342-3349F. TEST RELATING TO SOLID OXIDIZING SUBSTANCES OF CLASS 5.13350 (1) Test methodThis test method is designed to measure the potential for a solid substance to increase the burning rate or burning intensity of a combustible substance when the two are thoroughly mixed. Two tests shall be run for each substance to be evaluated, one at a 1 to 1 ratio (mass), of sample to sawdust and one at a 4 to 1 ratio (mass), of sample to sawdust. The burning characteristics of each mixture are compared with the standard 1 to 1 ratio (mass), of ammonium persulphate.(2) Test procedure(a) Ammonium persulphate, potassium perchlorate and potassium bromate are the reference substances. These substances shall pass through a sieve mesh size smaller than 0,3 mm and shall not be ground. The reference substances are dried at 65 °C for 12 hours and kept in a desiccator until required.(b) Softwood sawdust is the combustible material in this test. It shall pass through a sieve mesh size smaller than 1,6 mm and contain less than 5 % of water (mass). If necessary, it is made into a layer less than 25 mm thick, dried at 105 °C for 4 hours and kept in a desiccator until required.(c) A 30,0 g ± 0,1 g mixture of the reference substance and wood sawdust is prepared in a 1 to 1 ratio (mass). Two 30,0 g ± 0,1 g mixtures of the substance to be tested, in the particle size in which it will be carried, and the wood sawdust are prepared in ratios of 1 to 1 (mass), and 4 to 1 (mass). Each mixture shall be mixed mechanically without excessive stress as thoroughly as possible.(d) The test shall be conducted in a draught or a place equipped with a ventilator.(e) The conditions at normal atmospheric pressure are: temperature 20 °C ± 5 °C, humidity 50 % ± 110 %.(f) Each of the mixtures shall be formed into a conical pile with dimensions of approximately 70 mm base diameter and 60 mm height on a cool, impervious, low heat-conducting surface. Ignition shall be provided by means of a wire of inert metal in the form of a circular loop 40 mm in diameter positioned inside the pile 1 mm above the test surface. The wire shall be heated electrically to 1 000 °C until the first signs of combustion are observed or it is clear that the pile cannot be ignited. The electrical power is turned off as soon as there is combustion.(g) The time shall be recorded from the first observable signs of combustion to the end of all reaction: smoke, flame, incandescence.(h) The test shall be repeated three times for each of the mixing ratios.Criteria for classification3351 (1) A solid substance shall be classified in Class 5.1 if, in either concentration tested, the mean burning time of the sawdust, established from three tests, is equal to or less than that of the average of the three tests with ammonium persulphate mixture.(2) Assignment to a letter in the various items(a) Any substance which, in either concentration tested, exhibits a burning time less than that with potassium bromate shall be assigned to letter (a).(b) Any substance which, in either concentration tested, exhibits a burning time equal to or less than that with potassium perchlorate and does not meet the criteria for group (a) shall be assigned to letter (b).c) Any substance which, in either concentration tested, exhibits a burning time equal to or less than that with ammonium persulphate and does not meet the criteria for letters (a) and (b) shall be assigned to letter (c).3352-3389G. TEST FOR DETERMINING THE ECOTOXICITY, PERSISTENCEAND BIOACCUMULATION OF SUBSTANCESIN THE ACQUATIC ENVIRONMENT FOR ASSIGNMENT TO CLASS 9Note: The test methods used shall be those adopted by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the European Economic Commission (EEC). If other methods are used, they shall be internationally recognized, be equivalent to the OECD/EEC tests and be referenced in test reports.3390 Acute toxicity for fishThe object is to determine the concentration which causes 50 % mortality in the test species; this is the (LC50), value, namely, the concentration of the substance in water which will cause the death of 50 % of a test group of fish during a continuous period of testing of at least 96 hours. Appropriate types of fish include: striped brill (Brachydanio rerio), fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss).The fish are exposed to the test substance added to the water in varying concentrations (+ 1 control). Observations are recorded at least every 24 hours. At the end of the 96-hour activity and, if possible, at each observation, the concentration causing the death of 50 % of the fish is calculated. The no observed effect concentration (NOEC) at 96 hours is also determined.3391 Acute toxicity for daphniaThe object is to determine the effective concentration of the substance in water which renders 50 % of the daphnia unable to swim (EC50). The appropriate test organisms are daphnia magna and daphnia pulex. The daphnia are exposed for 48 hours to the test substance added to the water in varying concentrations. The no observed effect concentration (NOEC) at 48 hours is also determined.3392 Algal growth inhibitionThe object is to determine the effect of a chemical on the growth of algae under standard conditions. The change in biomass and the rate of growth with algae under the same conditions, but without the presence of the test chemical, are compared over 72 hours. The results are expressed as the effective concentration which reduces the rate of algal growth by 50 %, IC50r, and also the formation of the biomass, IC50b.3393 Tests for ready biodegradabilityThe object is to determine the degree of biodegradation under standard aerobic conditions. The test substance is added in low concentrations to a nutrient solution containing aerobic bacteria. The progress of degradation is followed for 28 days by determining the parameter specified in the test method used. Several equivalent test methods are available. The parameters include reduction of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), carbon dioxide (CO2) generation of oxygen (O2) depletion.A substance is considered to be readily biodegradable if within not more that 28 days the following criteria are satisfied - within 10 days from when degradation first reaches 10 %:Reduction of DOC: 70 %Generation of CO2: 60 % of theoretical CO2 productionDepletion of O2: 60 % of theoretical O2 requirementThe test may be continued beyond 28 days if the above criteria are not satisfied, but the result will represent the inherent biodegradability of the test substance. For assignment purposes, the 'ready` result is normally required.Where only COD and BOD5 data are available, a substance is considered to be readily biodegradable if:BOD5---- &ge; 0,5CODBOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) is defined as the mass of dissolved oxygen required by a specific volume of solution of the substance for the process of biochemical oxidation under prescribed conditions. The result is expressed as grams of BOD per gram of test substance. The normal test period is five days using a national standard test procedure.COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) is a measure of the oxidizability of a substance, expressed as the equivalent amount in oxygen of an oxidizing reagent consumed by the substance under fixed laboratory conditions. The results are expressed in grams of COD per gram of substance. A national standard procedure may be used.3394 Tests for bioaccumulation potential(1) The object is to determine the potential for bioaccumulation either by the ratio at equilibrium of the concentration (c) of a substance in a solvent to that in water or by the bioconcentration factor (BCF).(2) The ratio at equilibrium of the concentration (c) of a substance in a solvent to that in water is normally expressed as a log10. The solvent and water shall have negligible miscibility and the substance shall not ionize in water. The solvent normally used is n-octanol.In the case of n-octanol and water, the result is:log Pow = log10 [c°/cw]where Pow is the partition coefficient obtained by dividing the concentration of the substance in noctanol (c°) by the concentration of the substance in water (Cw). If logPow &ge; 3,0 then the substance has a potential bioaccumulate.(3) The bioconcentration factor (BCF) is defined as the ratio of the concentration of the test substance in the test fish (cf) to the concentration in the test water (cw) at steady state:BCF = (cf)/(cw)The principle of the test involves exposing fish to a solution or dispersion at known concentrations of the test substance in water. Continuous flow, static or semi-static procedures may be used according to the test procedure selected, based on the properties of the test substances. Fish are exposed to the test substances over a given period of time, followed by a period of no further exposure. During the second period, measurements are made of the rate of increase in the water of the test substance (i.e. the rate of excretion of depuration).(Full details of the various test procedures and the calculation method for the BCF are given in the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, methods 305A to 305E, 12 May 1981.)(4) A substance may have a log Pow greater than 3 and a BCF less than 100 which would indicate little or no potential to bioaccumulate. In cases of doubt, the BCF value takes precedence over log Pow, as indicated in the flow chart shown in marginal 3396.Criteria3395 A substance may be regarded as a pollutant to the aquatic environment if it satisfies one of the following criteria:The lowest of the values of the 96-hour LC50 for fish, the 48-hour EC50 for daphnia or the 72-hour IC50 for algae- is less than or equal to 1 mg/L;- is greater than 1 mg/L but less than or equal to 10 mg/L, and the substance is not biodegradable;- is greater than 1 mg/L but less than or equal to 10 mg/L, and the log Pow is greater than or equal to 3,0 (unless the experimentally determined BCF is less than or equal to 100).3396 Procedure to be followed>REFERENCE TO A FILM>3397-3399APPENDIX A.4 3400-3499 ReservedAPPENDIX A.5 GENERAL PACKING CONDITIONS, TYPES OF PACKAGING, REQUIREMENTSAPPLICABLE TO PACKAGINGS AND TEST REQUIREMENTS FOR PACKAGINGSNote: These requirements apply to packagings containing substances and articles of Classes 1, 3, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 5.1, 5.2, 6.1, 6,2, 8 and 9.Section IGeneral packing conditions3500 (1) Packagings shall be so manufactured and closed as to prevent any leakage of contents from a package prepared for dispatch such as might be caused in normal conditions of carriage particularly by vibration or changes in temperature, humidity or pressure. No dangerous substance shall adhere to the outside of packages. These provisions apply both to new and to reused packagings.(2) Parts of packagings which are in direct contact with dangerous substances shall not be affected by chemical or other action of those substances; where necessary, they shall be provided with a suitable inner coating or treatment. Such parts of packagings shall not incorporate constituents liable to react dangerously with the contents, to form hazardous products, or significantly to weaken them.(3) Each packaging except inner packagings of combination packagings shall conform to a design type tested and approved in accordance with the requirements laid down in section IV. Mass-produced packagings shall conform to the approved design type.(4) Where packagings are filled with liquid substances, sufficient ullage shall be left to ensure that no leakage of liquid substance and no permanent distortion of the packaging occurs as a result of expansion of the liquid substance, due to temperatures which may be attained during carriage. For a filling temperature of 15 °C, the degree of filling shall be determined as follows, unless otherwise provided under a particular class, either:(a)>TABLE> or(b) Degree of filling = >NUM>98>DEN>1 + á (50-tF) % of the capacity of the packaging.In this formula á 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 temperature of 35 °C, á is calculated according to the formula:á = >NUM>d15  P d50>DEN>35 × d50d15 and d50 being the relative densities () of the liquid at 15 °C and 50 °C and tF the mean temperature of the liquid at the time of filling.(5) Inner packagings shall be packed in an outer packaging in such a way that, under normal conditions of carriage, they cannot break, be punctured or leak their contents into the outer packaging. Inner packagings which 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.(6) Inner packagings containing different substances which may react dangerously with one another and cause:(a) combustion and/or evolution of considerable heat;(b) emission of flammable and/or toxic gases;(c) the formation of corrosive substances; or(d) the formation of unstable substances,shall not be placed in the same outer packaging (see also the mixed packing provisions under the various classes).(7) The closure 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 carriage.(8) Where overpressure may develop in a package through the emission of gas from the contents (as a result of temperature increase or other causes), the packaging may be fitted with a vent provided that the gas emitted will not cause any danger on account of its toxicity, its inflammability, the quantity released, etc. The vent shall be so designed that, when the packaging is in the attitude in which it is intended to be transported, leakages of liquid and the penetration of foreign matter are prevented under normal conditions of carriage. However, a substance may be carried in such a packaging only where a vent is expressly prescribed for that substance in the conditions of carriage of the relevant class.(9) New, remanufactured, reused or reconditioned packagings shall be capable of passing the tests prescribed in section IV. Before being filled and handed over for carriage, every packaging shall be inspected and its freedom from corrosion, contamination or other damage, verified. Any packaging which shows signs of reduced strength in comparison 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.(10) Packagings used for liquids shall undergo a leakproofness test if so required by and under the conditions prescribed in marginal 3560.(11) Liquids shall be filled only into packagings which have an appropriate resistance to the internal pressure that may be developed under normal conditions of carriage. Packagings marked with the hydraulic test pressure as prescribed in marginal 3512 (1) (d) shall be filled only with a liquid having a vapour pressure:(a) such that the total gauge pressure in the packaging (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) above and a filling temperature of 15 °C, will not exceed two-thirds of the marked test pressure; or(b) at 50 °C less than four-sevenths of the sum of the marked test pressure plus 100 kPa; or(c) at 55 °C less than two-thirds of the sum of the marked test pressure plus 100 kPa.(12) Packagings used for solids which may become liquid at temperatures likely to be encountered during carriage shall also be capable of containing the substance in the liquid state.(13) The packagings shall be manufactured and tested under a quality assurance programme which satisfies the competent authority in order to ensure that each manufactured packaging meets the requirements of this appendix.(14) The requirements for packagings in section III are based on packagings currently used. In order to take into account progress in science and technology, packagings having specifications different from those in section III may be used, provided that they are equally effective, are acceptable to the competent authority and are able successfully to withstand the tests described in paragraph (10) and section IV.3501-3509>TABLE>Notes: 1. For pure liquids the vapour pressure at 55 °C (Vp55) can often be obtained from scientific tables.2. The maximum vapour pressures in paragraphs (b) and (c) refer to the basis of the formula.3. The table refers to the use of paragraph (c) only, which means that the marked test pressure should 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 marginal 3554 (4) (a) the minimum marked test pressure may be lower.4. For diethyl ether (1155) (Packing group I), the required minimum test pressure under marginal 3554 (4) is 250 kPa.Section IITypes of packagingDefinitions3510 (1) Subject to the special provisions for each class, the packagings listed below may be used:Drums:flat-ended or convex-ended cylindrical packagings made of metal, fibre, plastics, plywood or other suitable materials.

A glass bottle is an example of such an 'inner packaging`. The 'inners` of 'composite packagings` are normally termed 'inner receptacles`. For example, the 'inner` of a 6HA1 composite packaging (plastics material) is such an 'inner receptacle` since it is normally not designed to perform a containment function without its 'outer packaging` and is not therefore an 'inner packaging`.Coding of design types for packagings conforming to marginal 3510 (1) and (2)3511 (1) The code number consists of:an Arabic numeral indicating the kind of packaging, e.g. drum, jerrican, etc.;a capital letter or letters (Latin characters) indicating the nature of the material, e.g. steel, wood, etc.;where necessary, an Arabic numeral indicating the category of packaging within the type to which the packaging belongs.In the case of composite packagings, two capital letters (Latin characters) shall be used. The first shall indicate the material of the inner receptacle and the second that of the outer packaging.In the case of combination packagings, only the code number for the outer packaging shall be used.The following numerals shall be used for the kind of packaging:1.

In itself, therefore, the mark does not necessarily confirm that the packaging may be used for any substance: generally the type of packaging (e.g. steel drum), its maximum capacity and/or mass, and any special requirements are specified for each substance in the appropriate packaging marginals in the classes.3512 (1) Each packaging shall bear markings which are durable, legible and placed in a location and of such a size relative to the packaging as to be readily visible. For packages with a gross mass of more than 30 kg, the markings or a duplicate thereof shall appear on the top or on a side of the packaging.

Design-type tests3550 Performance and frequency of tests(1) The design type of each packaging shall be tested and approved by the competent authority or by a body designated by that authority.(2) Tests in accordance with (1) shall be carried out again after any modification of the design type unless the authorized testing body has agreed to the modification of the design type. In the latter event a new approval of the design type is not required. A packaging design type is defined by the design, size, material and thickness, manner of construction and packing, but may include various surface treatments. It also includes packagings which differ from the design type only in their lesser design height.(3) The competent authority may at any time require proof, through tests in accordance with this section, that mass-produced packagings meet the requirements of the design-type tests. For such tests on paper or fibreboard packagings, preparation at ambient conditions shall be considered equivalent to the requirements of marginal 3551 (3).(4) For verification purposes the authorized testing body shall keep a record of the materials used, through materials testing or by retaining samples or pieces of the materials.(5) If an inner coating is required for safety reasons, it shall retain its protective properties even after the tests.(6) The competent authority may permit the selective testing of packagings that differ only in minor respects from a tested type, e.g. smaller sizes of inner packagings or inner packagings of lower net mass; and packagings such as drum, bags and boxes which are produced with small reductions in external dimension(s).(7) Provided the validity of the test results is not affected and with the approval of the competent authority, several tests may be made on one sample.3551 Preparation of packagings and packages for testing(1) Tests shall be carried out on packagings prepared as for transport including, with respect to combination packagings, the inner packagings used. Inner or single receptacles or packagings shall be filled to not less than 98 % of their maximum capacity for liquids or 95 % for solids. For combination packagings where the inner packaging is designed to carry liquids and solids, separate testing is required for both liquid and solid contents.The substances or articles to be transported in the packagings may be replaced by other substances or articles except where this would invalidate the results of the tests. For solids, when another substance is used it shall have the same physical characteristics (mass, grain, size, etc.) as the substance to be carried. It is permissible to use additives, such as bags of lead shot, to achieve the requisite total package mass, so long as they are placed so that the test results are not affected. Suitable mixtures of powdery solids, such as polyethylene or PVC powder with sawdust, fine sand, etc., may be used as a substitute filling substance for substances having a viscosity in excess of 2 680 mm2/s at 23 °C.(2) In the drop tests for liquids, when another substance is used its relative density and viscosity shall be similar to those of the substance to be carried. Water may also be used for the liquid drop test under the conditions in marginal 3552 (4).(3) Paper or fibreboard packagings shall be conditioned for at least 24 hours in an atmosphere having a controlled temperature and relative humidity (r.h.). There are three options, one of which shall be chosen. The preferred atmosphere is 23 °C ± 2 °C and 50 % ± 2 % r.h. The two other options are 20 °C ± 2 °C and 65 % ± 2 % r.h. or 27 °C ± 2 °C and 65 % ± 2 % r.h.Note: Average values shall fall within these limits. Short term fluctuations and measurement limitations may cause individual measurements to vary by up to ± 5 % relative humidity without significant impairment of test reproducibility.(4) Bung-type barrels made of natural wood shall be left filled with water for at least 24 hours before the tests.(5) To check that their chemical compatibility with the liquids is sufficient, plastics drums and jerricans in accordance with marginal 3526 and if necessary composite packagings (plastics material) in accordance with marginal 3537 shall be subjected to storage at ambient temperature for six months, during which time the test samples shall be kept filled with the goods they are intended to carry.For the first and last 24 hours of storage, the test samples shall be placed with the closure downwards. However, packagings fitted with a vent shall be so placed on each occasion for five minutes only. After this storage the test samples shall undergo the tests prescribed in marginals 3552 to 3556.When it is known that the strength properties of the plastics material of the inner receptacles of composite packagings (plastics material) are not significantly altered by the action of the filling substance, it shall not be necessary to check that the chemical compatibility is sufficient.A significant alteration in strength properties means:(a) distinct embrittlement; or(b) a considerable decrease in elasticity, unless related to a not less than proportionate increase in the elongation under load.Where the behaviour of the plastics material has been established by other means, the above compatibility test may be dispensed with. Such procedures shall be at least equivalent to the above compatibility test and be recognized by the competent authority.Note: For plastics drums and jerricans and composite packagings (plastics material) made of high molecular mass polyethylene, see also (6) below.(6) For high molecular mass polyethylene drums and jerricans in accordance with marginal 3526 and if necessary composite packagings of high molecular mass polyethylene in accordance with marginal 3537, conforming to the following specifications:- relative density at 23 °C after thermal conditioning for one hour at 100 °C &ge; 0,940, in accordance with ISO Standard 1183,- melt flow rate at 190 °C/21,6 kg load &le; 12 g/10 min. in accordance with ISO Standard 1133,chemical compatibility with the liquids listed in section II of the annex to this appendix may be verified as follows with standard liquids (see section I of the annex to this appendix).The sufficient chemical compatibility of these packagings may be verified by storage for three weeks at 40 °C with the appropriate standard liquid; where this standard liquid is water, proof of chemical compatibility is not required.For the first and last 24 hours of storage, the test samples shall be placed with the closure downwards. However, packagings fitted with a vent shall be so placed on each occasion for five minutes only. After this storage, the test samples shall undergo the tests prescribed in marginals 3552 to 3556.When a packaging design-type has satisfied the approval tests with a standard liquid, the comparable filling substances listed in section II of the annex to this appendix may be accepted for carriage without further testing, subject to the following conditions:the relative densities of the filling substances shall not exceed that used to determine the height for the drop test and the mass for the stacking test;the vapour pressures of the filling substances at 50 °C or 55 °C shall not exceed that used to determine the pressure for the internal pressure test.(7) For drums and jerricans conforming to marginal 3526, and where necessary composite packagings conforming to marginal 3537, made of high molecular mass polyethylene, which have passed the test in paragraph (6) of this marginal, filling substances other than those listed in section II of the annex may also be approved. Such approval shall be based on laboratory tests proving that the effect of such filling substances on the test specimens is less than that of the standard liquids. The processes of deterioration to be taken into account shall be the following: softening through swelling, cracking under stress and molecular degradation. The same conditions as those set out in (6) above shall apply with respect to relative density and vapour pressure.3552 Drop test ()(1) Number of test samples (per design type and manufacturer) and drop orientation.For other than flat drops the centre of gravity shall be vertically over the point of impact.>TABLE>Where more than one orientation is possible for a given drop test, the orientation most likely to result in failure of the packaging shall be used.(2) Special preparation of test samples for the drop test:The temperature of the test sample and its contents shall be reduced to  P18 °C or lower for the following packagings:(a) plastics drums (see 3526)(b) plastics jerricans (see 3526)(c) plastics boxes other than expanded polystyrene boxes (see 3531)(d) composite packagings (plastics material) (see 3537)(e) combination packagings with plastics inner packagings (see 3538)(f) textile bags with inner plastics liner (see 3533)(g) woven plastics bags (see 3534), and(h) plastics film bags (see 3535).Where the test samples are prepared in this way, the conditioning in marginal 3551 (3) may be waived.

For the test in accordance with marginal 3551 (6), a stacking test shall be carried out with a standard liquid.Where the contents of the test samples are non-dangerous liquids with relative density different from that of the liquid to be carried, the force shall be calculated in relation to the latter.(4) Criteria for passing the test:No test sample shall leak. In composite packagings or combination packagings, there shall be no leakage of the filling substance from the inner receptacle or inner packaging.No test sample shall show any deterioration which could adversely affect transport safety or any distortion liable to reduce its strength or cause instability in stacks of packages.Stacking stability shall be considered sufficient when, after the stacking test, and in the case of plastics packagings, after cooling to ambient temperature, two filled packagings of the same type placed on the test sample maintain their position for one hour.Supplementary permeability test for plastics drums and jerricans in accordance with marginal 3526 and for composite packagings (plastics material) in accordance with marginal 3537 intended for the carriage of liquids having a flash-point &le; 61 °C, other than 6HA1 packagings3556 (1) Polyethylene packagings need be subjected to this test only if they are to be approved for the carriage of benzene, toluene, xylene or mixtures and preparations containing those substances.(2) Number of test samples:Three packagings per design type and manufacturer.(3) Special preparation of the test sample for the test:The test samples are to be pre-stored with the original filling substance in accordance with marginal 3551 (5), or, for high molecular mass polyethylene packagings, with the standard liquid mixture of hydrocarbons (white spirit) in accordance with marginal 3551 (6).(4) Test method:The test samples filled with the substance for which the packaging is to be approved shall be weighed before and after storage for 28 days at 23 °C and 50 % relative atmospheric humidity.

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 that it is able to withstand the design type tests.(4) Where two or more closure systems are fitted in series, that nearest to the substance being carried shall be closed first.(5) During carriage, no dangerous residue shall adhere to the outside of the IBC.(6) Where overpressure may develop in an IBC through the emission of gas from the contents (as a result of temperature increase or other causes), the IBC may be fitted with a vent provided that the gas emitted will not cause any danger on account of its toxicity, its flammability, the quantity released, etc. The vent shall be so designed that, when the IBC is in the position in which it is intended to be carried, leakages of liquid and the penetration of foreign matter are prevented under normal conditions of carriage. However, a substance may be carried in such an IBC only where a vent is prescribed for that substance in the conditions of carriage of the relevant class.(7) When IBCs are filled with liquids, sufficient ullage shall be left to ensure that no leakage of liquid and no permanent distortion of the IBC occurs as a result of expansion of the liquid, due to temperatures which may be attained during carriage.For a filling temperature of 15 °C, the maximum degree of filling shall be determined as follows, unless otherwise provided under a particular class:Either (a)>TABLE>Or (b)Degree of filling = >NUM>98>DEN>1 + á (50 P tF) % of the capacity of the IBC.In this formula, á represents the mean coefficient of cubic expansion of the liquid between 15 °C and 50 °C, that is to say, for a maximum rise in temperature of 35 °C;á is calculated according to the formula : á = >NUM>d15  P d50>DEN>35 × d50d15 and d50 being the relative densities of the liquid at 15 °C and 50 °C and tF the mean temperature of the liquid at the time of filling.(8) When IBCs are used for the carriage of liquids with a flash-point of 55 °C (closed cup) or lower, or powders liable to dust explosion, measures shall be taken to prevent a dangerous electrostatic discharge during filling and emptying.(9) The closure of IBCs 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 carriage.(10) Liquids shall be loaded only into rigid plastics IBCs or composite IBCs which have an adequate resistance to the internal pressure that may be developed under normal conditions of carriage. IBCs marked with the hydraulic test pressure as prescribed in marginal 3612 (2) shall be filled only with a liquid having a vapour pressure:(a) such that the total gauge pressure in the packaging (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 paragraph (7) and a filling temperature of 15 °C, will not exceed two-thirds of the marked test pressure; or(b) at 50 °C less than four-sevenths of the sum of the marked test pressure plus 100 kPa; or(c) at 55 °C less than two-thirds of the sum of the marked test pressure plus 100 kPa.(11) During carriage, IBCs shall be securely fastened to or retained within the transport unit so as to prevent lateral or longitudinal movement or impact, and so as to provide adequate external support.3602-3609Section 2Types of IBCsDefinitions3610 (1) Subject to the particular provisions of each class, the IBCs mentioned below may be used:Metal IBCsMetal IBCs consist of a metal body together with appropriate service and structural equipment.Flexible IBCsFlexible IBCs consist of a body constituted of film, woven fabric or any other flexible material or combinations thereof, and if necessary an inner coating or liner, together with any appropriate service equipment and handling devices.Rigid plastics IBCsRigid plastics IBCs consist of a rigid plastics body, which may have structural equipment together with appropriate service equipment.Composite IBCs with plastics inner receptacleComposite IBCs consist of structural equipment in the form of a rigid outer casing enclosing a plastics inner receptacle together with any service or other structural equipment.

Design type testsGeneral requirements3650 (1) The design type of each IBC shall be tested and approved by the competent authority or by a body designated by that authority.(2) For each design type, a single IBC shall successfully be subjected to the tests listed in (5) below in the order mentioned in the table and according to the provisions specified in marginals 3652 to 3660, (and, for flexible IBCs, in accordance with the procedures established by the competent authority) before such an IBC is used. An IBC design type is defined by the design, size, material and thickness, manner of construction and means of filling and discharging but may include various surface treatments. It also includes IBCs which differ from the design type only in their lesser external dimensions.The competent authority may nevertheless authorize the selective testing of IBCs which differ from a type already tested only in minor respects, for example, slight reductions in the external dimensions.(3) Tests shall be carried out on IBCs prepared as for dispatch. IBCs shall be filled as indicated for the various tests. The substances to be carried in the IBCs may be replaced by other substances, except where this would invalidate the results of the tests. For solids, if another substance is used, it shall have the same physical characteristics (mass, grain size, etc.) as thesubstance to be carried. It is permissible to use additives, such as bags of lead shot, to achieve the requisite total package mass, provided they are placed so that the test results are not affected.(4) In the drop tests for liquids, if another substance is used, its relative density and viscosity shall be similar to those of the substance to be carried. Water may also be used for the liquid drop test under the following conditions:(a) if the substances to be carried have a relative density not exceeding 1.2, the drop heights shall be those shown under the relevant sections for the various types of IBC;(b) where the substances to be carried have a relative density exceeding 1.2, the drop heights shall calculated on the basis of the relative density (d) of the substance to be carried rounded up to the first decimal as follows:>TABLE>(5) Tests required for every IBC design type.Each × indicates that the IBC category shown at the head of the column has to be subjected to the test indicated on the line in question, in the order listed.>TABLE>Preparation of IBCs for testing3651 (1) Flexible IBCs, fibreboard IBCs and composite IBCs with fibreboard outer casingPaper IBCs, fibreboard IBCs and composite IBCs with fibreboard outer casings shall be conditioned for at least 24 hours in an atmosphere having a controlled temperature and relative humidity (r.h.).

The package design and shipment approval certificates may be combined into a single certificate.Competent authority identification marks3760 (1) Each approval certificate issued by a competent authority shall be assigned an identification mark. The mark shall be of the following generalized type:Symbol of nationality of country/number/type code:(a) The symbol of nationality represents the distinguishing sign for motor vehicles in international traffic in the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic (1968).(b) The number shall be assigned by the competent authority, and shall be unique and specific with regard to the particular design or shipment. The shipment approval identification mark shall be clearly related to the design approval identification mark.(c) The following type codes shall be used in the order listed to indicate the types of approval certificates issued:AF Type A package design for fissile materialB(U) Type B(U) package design; B(U)F if for fissile materialB(M) Type B(M) package design; B(M)F if for fissile materialIF Industrial package design for fissile materialS Special form radioactive materialT ShipmentX Special arrangement.(d) For package design approval certificates, other than those issued under the provisions of marginal 3755, the symbol '-85` () shall be added to the type code of the package design.(2) These type codes shall be applied as follows:(a) Each certificate and each package shall bear the appropriate identification mark, comprising the symbols prescribed in paragraph (1) above, except that, for packages, only the applicable design type codes including, if applicable, the symbol '-85` () shall appear following the second stroke, that is, the 'T` or 'X` shall not appear in the identification marking on the package. Where the design approval and shipment approval are combined, the applicable type codes do not need to be repeated. For example:A/132/B(M)F-85: A Type B(M) package design approved for fissile material, requiring multilateral approval, for which the competent authority of Austria has assigned the design number 132 ( to be marked on both the package and on the package design approval certificate);A/132/B(M)F-85T: The shipment approval issued for a package bearing the identification mark elaborated above (to be marked on the certificate only);A/137/X-85: A special arrangement approval issued by the competent authority of Austria, to which the number 137 has been assigned (to be marked on the certificate only);A/139/IF-85: An industrial package design for fissile material approved by the competent authority of Austria, to which package design number 139 has been assigned (to be marked on both the package and on the package design approval certificate).(b) Where multilateral approval is effected by validation, only the identification mark issued by the country of origin of the design or shipment shall be used. Where multilateral approval is effected by issue of certificates by successive countries, each certificate shall bear the appropriate mark and the package whose design was so approved shall bear all appropriate identification marks. For example:A/132/B(M)F-85CH/28/B(M)F-85would be the identification mark of a package which was originally approved by Austria and was subsequently approved, by separate certificate, by Switzerland. Additional identification marks would be displayed in a similar manner on the package.(c) The revision of a certificate shall be indicated by a parenthetical expression following the identification mark on the certificate. For example, A/132/B(M)F-85 (Rev.2) would indicate revision 2 of the Austrian package design approval certificate; or A/132/B(M)F-85 (Rev.0) would indicate the original issue of the Austrian package design approval certificate. For original issues, the parenthetical entry is optional and other words such as 'Original issue` may also be used in place of 'Rev.0`. Certificate revision numbers may only be issued by the country issuing the original approval certificate.(d) Additional symbols (as may be necessitated by national requirements) may be added in brackets to the end of the identification mark; for example, A/132/B(M)F-85 (SP503).(e) It is not necessary to alter the identification mark on the packaging each time that a revision to the design certificate is made. Such re-marking shall be made only in those cases where the revision to the package design certificate involves a change in the letter type codes for the package design following the second stroke.Contents of approval certificates(see introductory note to this section)3761 Special form radioactive material approval certificatesparagraph 7263762 Special arrangements approval certificatesparagraph 7273763 Shipment approval certificatesparagraph 7283764 Package design approval certificatesparagraph 729Validation of certificates3765 Multilateral approval may be by validation of the original certificate issued by the competent authority of the country of origin of the design or shipment.Such validation may take the form of an endorsement on the original certificate or the issue of a separate endorsement, annex, supplement, etc., by the competent authority of the country through or into which the shipment is made.General provision for quality assurance programme3766 Quality assurance programmes shall be established for the design, manufacture, testing, documentation, use, maintenance and inspection of all packages and for transport and in-transit storage operations to ensure compliance with the relevant provisions of this Appendix.

The test pressures prescribed are at least equal to the vapour pressures of the liquids at 70 °C, reduced by 100 kPa (1 bar), the minimum test pressure required being, however, 1 MPa (10 bar).2. In view of the high degree of toxicity of phosgene of 3° (at) and of cyanogen chloride of 3° (ct), the minimum test pressure for these gases has been fixed at 2 MPa (20 bar).3. The maximum values prescribed for the degree of filling in kg/litre have been determined as follows: maximum mass of contents per litre of capacity = 0,95 times the density of the liquid phase at 50 °C; in addition, the vapour phase must not disappear below 60 °C.() Solvent-separation test: This test is carried out at 23 °C using a 100 ml graduated measuring cylinder of the stoppered type of approximately 25 cm total height and of a uniform internal diameter of approximately 3 cm over the calibrated section. The substance should be stirred to obtain a uniform consistency and poured into the measuring cylinder up to the 100 ml mark. The stopper should be inserted and the cylinder left standing undisturbed for 24 hours. After 24 hours the height of the upper separated layer should be measured and layer's height as a percentage of the total height of the sample should be calculated.() Viscosity determination: Where the substance concerned is non-Newtonian, or where a flow cup method of viscosity determination is otherwise unsuitable, a variable shear-rate viscometer of the substance, at 23 °C, at a number of shear rates, the values obtained are plotted against shear rate and then extrapolated to zero shear rate. The dynamic viscosity thus obtained, divided by the density, gives the apparent kinematic viscosity at near-zero shear rate.() International Convention for Safe Containers (Geneva, 1972), as amended, published by the International Maritime Organization, 4 Albert Embankment, London SE1 7SR.() The technical name shall be a name currently used in scientific and technical handbooks, journals and texts.

003-10 009PART I GENERAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO THE CARRIAGE OF DANGEROUS SUBSTANCES OF ALL CLASSES (See, however, marginal 10 002) General Scope of this Annex10 010 Annex A exempts, from the provisions of the present Annex, carriage performed under the conditions (of packaging, mass, etc.) laid down in marginals 2201a, 2301a, 2401a, 2471a, 2501a, 2551a, 2601a, 2801a and 2901a.10 011 Table specifying the limited quantities of dangerous substances in packages which may be carried in one transport unit without application of the provisions of this Annex relating to:- special requirements to be fulfilled by the means of transport and its equipment (all sections 2 of Parts I and II), subject, however, to compliance with the provisions of marginals 10 240 (1) (a) and 21 212;- vehicle crews (marginals XX 311 of Parts I and II);- special training of drivers (marginal 10 315):- carriage of passengers (marginal 10 325);- instructions in writing (marginals XX 385 of Parts I and II);- places of loading and unloading (marginals XX 407 of Part II); and- special provisions concerning the operation of vehicles (all sections 5 of Parts I and II).>TABLE>Notes 1: The maximum quantities shown in the above table represent a degree of danger which may, from a highly simplified standpoint, be considered as equivalent for each of the substances listed. This danger level shall not be exceeded even where a load not affected by any prohibition on mixed loading includes more than one dangerous substance.Where the same exemption limit applies to the substances concerned, their respective masses are added and the total must not exceed that limit. Where, however, different exemption limits apply to the substances, the maximum quantities allowed for each shall be calculated as follows:(a) The total actual mass of each substance referred to in any one column of the table shall be multiplied by the factor shown at the head of the column;(b) The products so obtained are added together and their total shall not exceed 1 000.Up to that figure, the difference divided by the factor corresponding to some other substance gives the exemption limit still not taken up.Example of these calculations>TABLE>Since the total of the products is less than 1 000, the case set out above leaves available within the exemption limit 1 000  P 550 = 450, which could be used to make up the load with, for example, gas cylinders of Class 2, 11° (a) (limit 333 kg) up to a value of 450 : 3 = 150 kg.These multiplications or divisions can be avoided by using the mass tables below.Maximum mass of each of two different substances shown in columns A to G of the above table which may be loaded together on a transport unit without exceeding the exemption limits (in kg):- Columns A et seq.>REFERENCE TO A GRAPHIC>- Columns B et seq.>REFERENCE TO A GRAPHIC>- Columns C et seq.>REFERENCE TO A GRAPHIC>- Columns D et seq.>REFERENCE TO A GRAPHIC>- Columns E et seq.>REFERENCE TO A GRAPHIC>- Columns F and G>REFERENCE TO A GRAPHIC>If, on taking into account the mass of the first substance to be loaded (as shown in one of the columns of a quick reference table), the maximum quantity for the second substance is not reached (in the other column of the same table) the mass remaining available may be used for a third substance. To ascertain the permissible mass of that substance, reference should be made to the quick-reference table which is headed by the column letters corresponding to the second and third substances. If the maximum quantity for the third substance is not used up either, the same procedure may be followed in regard to loading one or more other substances.In the left-hand column of each table, an intermediate higher value for a quantity actually loaded (e.g. in the B and D table, 9 between 8 and 10) may be rounded down to the lower value shown (in this case 8).

However, some of the requirements of Appendix B.1a may be made applicable to tank-containers by the provisions of Annex B and Appendix B.1b.(3) It is recalled that marginal 10 121 (1) prohibits the carriage of dangerous substances in tanks except where such carriage is expressly authorized under each Section 1 of Part II in Appendices B.1a or B.1b and Section 1 of Appendix B.1c.200 001-210 999APPENDIX B.1a PROVISIONS CONCERNING FIXED TANKS (TANK-VEHICLES) DEMOUNTABLE TANKS AND BATTERIES OF RECEPTACLES Note: Part I sets out the requirements applicable to fixed tanks (tank-vehicles), demountable tanks and batteries of receptacles intended for the carriage of substances of any class. Part II contains special requirements supplementing or modifying the requirements of Part I.PART I REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO ALL CLASSES 211 000-211 099SECTION 1GENERAL; SCOPE (USE OF TANKS); DEFINITIONSNote: In accordance with the provisions of marginal 10 121 (1), the carriage of dangerous substances in fixed or demountable tanks or batteries of receptacles is permitted only where this mode of carriage is expressly authorized for such substances in each Section 1 of Part II of this Appendix.211 100 These requirements shall apply to fixed tanks (tank-vehicles), demountable tanks and batteries of receptacles used for the carriage of liquid, gaseous powdery or granular substances.211 101 (1) In addition to the vehicle proper, or the units of running gear used in its stead, a tank-vehicle comprises one or more shells, their items of equipment and the fittings for attaching them to the vehicle or to the running-gear units.(2) When attached to the carrier vehicle, the demountable tank or battery of receptacles shall meet the requirements precribed for tank-vehicles.211 102 In the following requirements:(1) (a) 'shell` means the tank proper (including the openings and their closures);(b) 'service equiment of the shell`, means the filling, discharge, venting, safety, heating and heat-insulating devices and the measuring instruments;(c) 'structural equipment` means the internal or external reinforcing, fastening, protective or stabilizing members external to the shell.(2) (a) 'calculation pressure` means a theoretical pressure at least equal to the test pressure which, according to the degree of danger exhibited by the substance being carried, may to a greater or lesser degree exceed the working pressure. It is used solely to determine the thickness of the walls of the shell, independently of any external or internal reinforcing device;(b) 'test pressure` means the highest effective pressure which arises in the shell during the pressure test;(c) 'filling pressure` means the maximum pressure actually built up in the shell when it is being filled under pressure;(d) 'discharge pressure` means the maximum pressure actually built up in the shell when it is being discharged under pressure;(e) 'maximum working pressure (gauge pressure)` means the highest of the following three pressures:(i) the highest effective pressure allowed in the shell during filling ('maximum filling pressure allowed`);(ii) the highest effective pressure allowed in the shell discharge ('maximum discharge pressure allowed`);and(iii) the effective gauge pressure to which the shell is subjected by its contents (including such extraneous gases as it may contain) at the maximum working temperature.Unless the special requirements for each class provide otherwise, the numerical value of this working pressure (gauge pressure) shall not be lower than the vapour pressure (absolute pressure) of the filling substances at 50 °C.For shells equipped with safety valves (with or without bursting disc), the maximum working pressure (gauge pressure) shall however be equal to be prescribed opening pressure of such safety valves.(3) 'Leakproofness test` means the test which consists in subjetting the shell to an effective internal pressure equal to the maximum working pressure, but not less than 20 kPa (0,2 bar) (gauge pressure), by a procedure approved by the competent authority. For shells equipped with venting systems and a safety device to prevent the contents spilling out if the shell overturns, the pressure for the leakproofness test shall be equal to the static pressure of the filling substance.211 103-211 119SECTION 2CONSTRUCTION211 120 Shells shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the provisions of a technical code recognized by the competent authority, but the following minimum requirements shall be met:(1) Shells shall be made of suitable metallic materials which unlesss other temperature ranges are prescribed in the various classes, shall be resistant to brittle fracture and to stress corrosion cracking between  P 20 °C and + 50 °C.(2) For welded shells only materials of faultless weldability and whose adequate impact strength at an ambient temperature of  P 20 °C can be guaranteed, particularly in the weld seams and the zones adjacent thereto, shall be used.(3) Welds shall be skilfully made and shall afford the fullest safety. For the execution and checking of weld beads, see also marginal 211 127 (8). Shells whose minimum wall thicknesses have been determined in accordance with 211 127 (2) to (6) shall be checked by the methods described in the definition of the weld coefficient 0,8.(4) The materials of shells, or of their protective linings in contact with the contents, shall not contain substances liable to react dangerously with the contents, to form dangerous compounds, or substantially to weaken the material.(5) The protective lining shall be so designed that its leakproofness remains intact whatever the deformation liable to occur in normal conditions of carriage [211 127(1)].(6) It contact between the substance carried and the material used for the construction of the shell entails a progressive decrease in the thickness of the walls, this thickness shall be increased at manufacture by an appropriate amount. This additional thickness to allow for corrosion shall not be taken into consideration in calculating the thickness of the shell walls.211 121 (1) Shells, their attachments and their service and structural equipment shall be designed to withstand without loss of contents (other than quantities of gas escaping through any degassing vents):- static and dynamic stresses in normal conditions of carriage;- prescribed minimum stresses as defined in marginals 211 125 and 211 127.(2) In the case of vehicles in which the shell constitutes a stressed self-supporting member, the shell shall be designed to withstand the stresses thus imposed in addition to stresses from other sources.211 122 The pressure on which the wall thickness of the shell is based shall not be less than the calculation pressure, but the stresses referred to in marginal 211 121 shall also be taken into account.211 123 Unless specially prescribed otherwise in the various classes, the following particulars shall be taken into account in the design of shells:(1) Gravity-discharge shells intended for the carriage of substances having a vapour pressure not exceeding 110 kPa (1,1 bar) (absolute pressure) at 50 °C shall be designed for a calculation pressure of twice the static pressure of the substance to be carried but not less than twice the static pressure of water.(2) Pressure-filled or pressure-discharge shells intended for the carriage of substances having a vapour pressure not exceeding 110 kPa (1,1 bar) (absolute pressure) at 50 °C shall be designed for a calculation pressure equal to 1,3 times the filling or discharge pressure.(3) Shells intended for the carriage of substances having a vapour pressure of more than 110 kPa (1,1 bar) but not more than 175 kPa (1,75 bar) (absolute pressure) at 50 °C shall, whatever their filling or discharge system, be designed for a calculation pressure of not less than 150 kPa (1,5 bar) gauge pressure or 1,3 times the filling or discharge pressure, whichever is the higher.(4) Shells intended for the carriage of substances having a vapour pressure of more dan 175 kPa (1,75 bar) (absolute pressure) at 50 °C shall, whatever their filling or discharge system, be designed for a calculation pressure equal to 1,3 times the filling or discharge pressure but not less than 400 kPa (4 bar) gauge pressure.211 124 Tanks intended to contain certains dangerous substances shall be provided with special protection. This may take the form of additional thickness of the shell (such additional thickness being determined in the light of the dangers inherent in the substance concerned: see the relevant classe(s) or of a protective device.211 125 At the test pressure, the stress ó (sigma) at the most severely stressed point of the shell shall not exceed the material-dependent limits prescribed below. Allowance shall be made for any weakening due to the welds. In addition, in choosing the material and determining wall thickness, the maximum and minimum filling and working temperatures should be taken into account.(1) For the metals and alloys, the stress ó at the test pressure shall be lower than the smaller of the values given by the following formulae:ó &le; 0,75 Re or ó &le; 0,5 RmwhereRe = apparent yield stress, or 0,2 % or, in the case of austenitic steels, 1 %Rm = minimum tensile strength.Ratios of Re/Rm exceeding 0,85 are not allowed for steels used in the construction of welded tanks.The values of Re and Rm to be used shall be specified minimum values according to material standards. If no material standard exists for the metal or alloy in question, the values of Re and Rm used shall be approved by the competent authority or by a body designated by that authority.When austenitic steels are used, the specified minimum values according to the material standards may be exceeded by up to 15 % if these higher values are attested in the inspection certificate.The values specified in the certificate shall be taken as a basis in determining the Re/Rm ratio in each case.(2) When the maximum working temperature of the shell does not exceed 50 °C, the values of Re and Rm at 20 °C may be used; when the working temperature exceeds 50 °C, the values at this maximum working temperature (calculation temperature) shall be used.(3) For steel, the elongation at fracture in % shall be not less than>NUM>10 000>DEN>determined tensile strength in N/mm2but in any case it shall be not less than 16 % for fine-grained steels and not less than 20 % for other steels. For aluminium alloys the elongation at fracture shall be not less than 12 % ().211 126 Shells intended for the carriage of liquids having a flash-point of 61 °C, or below or for the carriage of flammable gases, shall be linked to the classics by means of at least one good electrical connection. Any metal contact capable of causing electrochemical corrosion shall be avoided. Shells shall be provided with at least one earth clearly marked with the symbol '>REFERENCE TO A FILM>`, capable of being electrically connected.211 127 Shells and their fastenings shall withstand the stresses specified in paragraph (1) below, and the wall thicknesses of shell shall be at least as determined in accordance with paragraphs (2) to (6).(1) The shells and their fastenings shall be capable of absorbing, under the maximum permissible load, the forces exerted by:- in the direction of travel: twice the total mass;- at right angles to the direction of travel: the total mass;- vertically upwards: the total mass;- vertically downwards: twice the total mass.Under the stresses defined above, the stress at the most severely stressed point of the shell and its fastenings shall not exceed the value ó defined in marginal 211 125.(2) The thickness of the cylindrical wall of the shell and of the ends and cover plates shall be at least equal to that obtained by the following formulae:e = >NUM>PMPa × D>DEN>2 × ó × ë mm ( e = >NUM>Pbar × D>DEN>20 × ó × ë mm )wherePMPa = calculation pressure in MPa;Pbar = calculation pressure in bar;D = internal diameter of shell in mm;ó = permissible stress, as defined in marginal 211 125 (1), (a) and (b), and (2); in N/mm2; andë = a coefficient, not exceeding 1, allowing for any weakening due to welds.The thickness shall in no case be less than that defined in paragraphs (3) to (5) below.(3) The walls, ends and cover plates of shells of circular cross-section not more than 1,80 m in diameter (), other than those referred to in paragraph (5), shall not be less than 5 mm thick if of mild steel (), or of equivalent thickness if of another metal. Where the diameter is more than 1,80 m () this thickness shall be increased to 6 mm except in the case of shells intended for the carriage of powdery or granular substances, if the shell is of mild steel (), or to an equivalent thickness if the shell is of another metal. 'Equivalent thickness` means the thickness obtained by the following formula:e1 = (4) Where protection of the shell against damage through lateral impact or overturning is provided, the competent authority may allow the aforesaid minimum thicknesses to be reduced in proportion to the protection provided; however, the said thicknesses shall not be less than 3 mm in the case of mild steel (), or than an equivalent thickness in the case of other materials, for shells not more than 1,80 m in diameter (). For shells with a diameter exceeding 1,80 m () the aforesaid minimum thickness shall be increased to 4 mm in the case of mild steel () and the equivalent thickness in the case of other metal 'Equivalent thickness` means the thickness obtained by the following formula:21,4 × e0 ()e1 = (5) For tanks built after 1 January 1990, there is protection against damage as referred to in paragraph (4) when the following measures or equivalent measures are adopted:(a) For shells intended for the carriage of powdery or granular substances, the protection against damage shall satisfy the competent authority.(b) For shells intended for the carriage of other substances, there is protection against damage when:1. for shells with a circular or elliptical cross-section having a maximum radius of curvature of 2 m, the shell is equipped with strengthening members comprising partitions, surge plates or external or internal rings, so placed that at least one of the following conditions is met:- Distance between two adjacent strengthening elements &le; 1,75 m.- Volume contained between two partitions or surge plates &le; 7 500 l.The vertical cross-section of a ring, with the associated coupling, shall have a section modulus of at least 10 cm3.External rings shall not have projecting edges with a radius of less than 2,5 mm.Partitions ans surge plates shall conform to the requirements of paragraph (7).The thickness of the partitions and surge plates shall in no case be less than that of the shell.2. For shells with double walls, the space between being evacuated of air, the aggregate thickness of the outer metal wall and the shell wall corresponds to the wall thickness prescribed in paragraph (3), and the thickness of the wall of the shell itself is not less than the minimum thickness prescribed in paragraph (4).3. For shells made with double walls having an intermediate layer of solid materials at least 50 mm thick, the outer wall has a thickness of at least 0,5 mm of mild steel () or at least 2 mm of a plastic material reinforced with glass fibre. Solid foam (with an impact absorption capacity like that, for example, of polyurethane foam) may be used as the intermediate layer of solid material.4. Shells of forms other than in 1., especially box-shaped tanks, are provided, all round the mid-point of their vertical height and over at least 30 % of their height with an additional protection designed in such a way as to offer specific resilience at least equal to that of a shell constructed in mild steel of a thickness of 5 mm (for a shell diameter not exceeding 1,80 m) or 6 mm (for a shell diameter exceeding 1,80 m).The additional protection shall be applied in a durable manner to the outside of the shell. This requirement shall be considered to have been met without further proof of the specific resilience when the additional protection involves the welding of a plate of the same material as the shell to the area to be strengthened, so that the minimum wall thickness is in accordance with paragraph (3).This protection is dependent upon the possible stresses exerted on mild steel shells in the event of an accident, where the ends and walls have a thickness of at least 5 mm for the diameter not exceeding 1,80 m or at least 6 mm for a diameter not exceeding 1,80 m. If another metal is used, the equivalent thickness shall be obtained in accordance with the formula in paragraph (3).For demountable tanks this protection is not required when they are protected in all sides by the drop sides of the carrier vehicles.(6) The thickness of tank shells designed in accordance with marginal 211 123 (1) which either are of not more than 5 000 litres capacity or are divided into leak-proof compartments of not more than 5 000 litres unit capacity may be adjusted to a level which, unless prescribed otherwise in the various classes, shall however not be less than the appropriate value shown in the following table:>TABLE>Where a metal other than mild steel is used, the thickness shall be determined by the equivalence formula given in paragraph (3). The thickness of the partitions and surge-plates shall in no case be less than that of the shell.(7) Surge-plates and partitions shall be dished, wiith a depth of dish of not less than 10 cm, or shall be corrugated, profiled or otherwise reinforced to give equivalent strength. The area of the surge-plate shall be at least 70 % of the cross-sectional area of the tank in which the surge-plate is fitted.(8) The manufacturer's qualification for performing welding operations shall be one recognized by the competent authority. Welding shall be performed by skilled welders using a welding process whose effectiveness (including any heat treatments required) has been demonstrated by test. Non-destructive tests shall be carried out by radiography or by ultrasound and must confirm that the quality of the welding is appropriate to the stresses.In determining the thickness of the shell walls in accordance with paragraph (2), the following values of the coefficient ë (lambda) should be adopted for the welds:0,8: where the weld beads are so far as possible inspected visually on both faces and are subjected to a non-destructive spot check with particular attention to connexions;0,9: where all longitudinal beads throughout their length, all connexions, 25 % of circular beads, and welds for the assembly of large-diameter items of requirement are subjected to non-destructive checks. Beads shall be checked visually on both sides as far as possible;1,0: where all beads are subjected to non-destructive checks and are so far as possible inspected visually on both sides. A weld test-piece shall be taken.Where the competent authority has doubts regarding the quality of weld beads, it may require additional checks.(9) Measures shall be taken to protect shells against the risk of deformation as a result of a negative internal pressure.Unless otherwise prescribed in the special provisions fot the individual classes, these shells may have valves to avoid an unacceptable negative internal pressure, without intervening bursting discs.(10) The thermal insulation shall be so designed as not to hinder access to, or the operation of, filling and discharge devices and safety valves.Stability211 128 The overall width of the ground-level bearing surface (distance between the outer points of contact with the ground of the right-hand tyre and the left-hand tyre of the same axle) shall be at least equal to 90 % of the height of the centre of gravity of the laden tank-vehicle. In an articulated vehicle the mass on the axles of the load-carrying unit of the laden semi-trailer shall not exceed 60 % of the nominal total laden mass of the complete articulated vehicle.Protection of upper fittings211 129 The fittings and accessories mounted on the upper part of the shell shall be protected against damage caused by overturning. This protection may take the form of strengthening rings, protective canopies or transverse or longitudinal members so shaped that effective protection is given.SECTION 3ITEMS OF EQUIPMENT211 130 The items of equipment shall be so arranged as to be protected against the risk of being wrenched off or damaged during carriage or handling.They shall exhibit a suitable degree of safety comparable to that of the shells themselves, and shall in particular:- be compatible with the substances carried; and- meet the requirements of marginal 211 121.As many operating parts as possible shall be served by the smallest possible number of apertures in the shell wall.The leakproofness of the service equipment shall be ensured even in the event of over-turning of the tank-vehicles, demountable tanks ans batteries of receptacles. The gaskets shall be made of a material compatible with the substance carried and shall be replaced as soon as their effectiveness is impaired, for example as a result of ageing. Gaskets ensuring the leakproofness of fitting requiring manipulation during normal use of tank-vehicles, demountable tanks and batteries of receptacles, shall be so designed and arranged that manipulation of the fittings incorporating them does not damage them.211 131 Every bottom-discharge shell, and in the case of compartmented bottom-discharge shells every compartment, shall be equipped with the two mutually independent shut-off devices, the first being an internal stop-valve () fixed directly to the shell and the second being a sluice-valve or other equivalent device, mounted in series, one at each end of the discharge pipe-socket. The bottom discharge of shells intended for the carriage of powdery or granular substances may be constituted by external piping with a stop-valve if it is made of a malleable metallic material. In addition, the openings of the shells shall be capable of being closed by means of screw-threaded plugs, blank flanges or other equally effective devices. The internal stop-valve shall be operable from above or from below. If possible, the setting - open or closed - of the internal stop-valve shall be capable of being verified from the ground in both cases. The controls of the internal stop-valve shall be so designed as to prevent any inadvertent opening through impact or unconsidered action. The internal shut-off device must continue to be effective in the event of damage to the external control.The position and/or direction of closure of the sluice-valves must be clearly apparent.In order to avoid any loss of contents in the event of damage to the external filling and discharge fittings (pipes, lateral shut-off devices), the internal stop-valve and its seating shall be protected against the danger of being wrenched off by external stresses or shall be so designed as to withstand them. The filling and discharge devices (including flanges or threaded plugs) and protective caps (if any) shall be capable of being secured against any inadvertent opening.The shell or each of its compartments shall be provided with the opening large enough to permit inspection.211 132 Shells intended for the carriage of substances for which all the openings are required to be above the surface level of the liquid may be equipped, in the lower part of the body, with a cleaning aperture (fist-hole).

This inspection shall include a check of conformity to the approved prototype, a check of the design characteristics (), an external and internal examination, a hydraulic pressure test () and a check of satisfactory operation of the equipment.The hydraulic pressure test shall be carried out on the shell as a whole at the pressure indicated in Part II of this Appendix, and separately on each compartment of compartmented shells at a pressure of not less than 1,3 times the maximum working pressure. The leakproofness test shall be carried out separately on each compartment of compartmented shells.The hydraulic pressure test shall be carried out before the installation of such thermal equipment as may be necessary. It the shells and their equipment are tested separately, they shall be jointly subjected to a leakproofness test after assembly.211 151 Shells and their equipment shall undergo periodic inspections at fixed intervals. The periodic inspections shall include: an external and internal examination and, as a general rule, a hydraulic pressure test (). Sheathing for thermal or other insulation shall be removed only to the extent required for reliable appraisal of the characteristics of the shell.The hydraulic pressure test shall be carried out on the shell as a whole at the pressure indicated in Part II of this Appendix, and separately on each compartment of compartmented shells at a pressure of not less than 1,3 times the maximum working pressure.In the case of shells intended for the carriage of powdery or granular substances, and with the agreement of the expert approved by the competent authority, the periodic hydraulic pressure tests may be omitted and replaced by leakproofness tests in accordance with marginal 211 102 (3).The maximum intervals for inspections shall be six years.Tank-vehicles, demountable tanks and batteries of receptacles empty, uncleaned, may be moved after expiration of the period for undergoing the test.211 152 In addition, a leakproofness test of the shell with its equipment and a check of the satisfactory operation of all the equipment shall be carried out at least every three years.The leakproofness test shall be carried out separately on each compartment of compartmented shells.211 153 When the safety of the shell or of its equipment may have been impaired as a result of repairs, alterations or accident, an exceptional check shall be carried out.211 154 The tests, inspections and checks in accordance with marginal 211 150 to 211 153 shall be carried out by the expert approved by the competent authority.

In such a case the degree of filling at the outset shall be such, and the temperature so regulated, that the shell is not full to more than 95 % of its capacity at any time during carriage, and that the filling temperature is not exceeded.(4) Where hot substances are loaded, the temperature of the outer surface of the shell or of the thermal insulation shall not exceed 70 °C during carriage.211 173 Where shells intended for the carriage of liquids () are not divided by partitions or surge-plates into sections of not more than 7 500 litres capacity, they shall be filled to not less than 80 % of their capacity unless they are nominally empty.211 174 During loading and unloading of tanks, appropriate measures shall be taken to prevent the release of dangerous quantities of gases and vapours. Shells shall be closed in such a way that the contents cannot run out uncontrolled. The openings of bottom-discharge shells shall be closed by means of screw-threaded plugs, blank flanges or other equally effective devices. The leakproofness of the shell closures, particularly in the upper part of the dip-tube, shall be verified by the consignor after the shell has been filled.211 175 Where several closure systems are fitted in series, that nearest to the substance being carried shall be closed first.211 176 No dangerous residue of the substance carried shall adhere to the outside of shells during carriage, whether they are laden or empty.211 177 To be accepted for carriage, empty shells, uncleaned, must be closed in the same manner and leakproof in the same degree as though they were full.211 178 The connecting pipes between independent but interconnected shells of a transport unit shall be empty during carriage.Flexible filling and discharge pipes which are not permanently connected to the shell shall be empty during carriage.211 179SECTION 8TRANSITIONAL MEASURES211 180 Fixed tanks (tank-vehicles), demountable tanks and batteries of receptacles built before 1 October 1978 and not conforming to the requirements of this Appendix may, if they were built in conformity with the requirements of this Directive, be used until 30 September 1984.

Part II contains particular requirements supplementing or modifying the requirements of Part I.PART I REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO ALL CLASSES 212 000-212 099SECTION 1GENERAL; SCOPE (USE OF TANK-CONTAINERS); DEFINITIONSNotes: 1. In accordance with the provisions of marginal 10 121 (1), the carriage of dangerous substances in tank-containers is permitted only where expressly authorized for such substances in each of the Sections 1 of Part II of this Appendix.2. For the purposes of this Directive, tank swap bodies are considered as tank-containers.212 100 These requirements shall apply to tank-containers of a capacity of more than 0,45 m3 which are used for the carriage of liquid, gaseous, powdery or granular substances, and to their fittings and accessories.212 101 A tank-container comprises a shell and items of equipment, including the equipment to facilitate movement of the tank-container without significant change of attitude.212 102 In the following requirements:(1) (a) 'shell` means the tank proper (including the openings and their closures);(b) 'service equipment` of the shell means filling and emptying, venting, safety, heating and heat-insulating devices and measuring instruments; and(c) 'structural equipment` means the internal or external reinforcing, fastening, protective or stabilizing members of the shell.(2) (a) 'calculation pressure` means a theoretical pressure at least equal to the test pressure which, according to the degree of danger exhibited by the substance being carried, may to a greater or lesser degree exceed the working pressure. It is used solely to determine the thickness of the walls of the shell, independently of any external or internal reinforcing device;(b) 'test pressure` means the highest effective pressure which arises in the shell during the pressure test;(c) 'filling pressure` means the maximum pressure actually built up in the shell when it is being filled under pressure;(d) 'discharge pressure` means the maximum pressure actually built up in the shell when it is being discharged under pressure;(e) 'maximum working pressure (gauge pressure)` means the highest of the following three pressures:(i) the highest effective pressure allowed in the shell during filling ('maximum filling pressure allowed`);(ii) the highest effective pressure allowed in the shell during discharge ('maximum discharge pressure allowed`); and(iii) the effective gauge pressure to which the shell is subjected by its contents (including such extraneous gases as it may contain) at the maximum working temperature.Unless the special requirements for each class provide otherwise, the numerical value of this working pressure (gauge pressure) shall not be lower than the vapour pressure (absolute pressure) of the filling substance at 50 °C.For shells equipped with safety valves (with or without bursting disc), the maximum working pressure (gauge pressure) shall however be equal to the prescribed opening pressure of such safety valves.(3) 'Leakproofness test` means the test which consists of subjecting the shell to an effective internal pressure equal to the maximum working pressure, but not less than 20 kPa (0,2 bar) (gauge pressure), using a method approved by the competent authority.For shells equipped with venting systems and a safety device to prevent the contents spilling out if the shell overturns, the pressure for the leakproofness test shall be equal to the static pressure of the filling substance.212 103-212 119SECTION 2CONSTRUCTION212 120 Shells shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the provisions of a technical code recognized by the competent authority, but the following minimum requirements shall be met:(1) Shells shall be made of suitable metallic materials which, unless other temperature ranges are prescribed in the various classes, shall be resistant to brittle fracture and to stress corrosion cracking between  P20 °C and +50 °C.(2) For welded shells only materials of faultless weldability whose adequate impact strength at an ambient temperature of  P20 °C can be guaranteed, particularly in the weld seams and the zones adjacent thereto, shall be used.(3) Welds shall be skilfully made and shall afford the fullest safety. For the execution and checking of weld beads, see also marginal 212 127 (6). Shells whose minimum wall thicknesses have been determined in accordance with marginal 212 127 (3) and (4) shall be checked by the methods described in the definition of the weld coefficient of 0,8.(4) The materials of shells or of their protective linings which are in contact with the contents shall not contain substances liable to react dangerously with the contents, to form dangerous compounds, or substantially to weaken the material.(5) The protective lining shall be so designed that its leakproofness remains intact, whatever the deformation liable to occur in normal conditions of carriage [marginal 212 127 (1)].(6) If contact between the substance carried and the material used for the construction of the shell entails a progressive decrease in the thickness of the walls, this thickness shall be increased at manufacture by an appropriate amount. This additional thickness to allow for corrosion shall not be taken into consideration in calculating the thickness of the shell walls.212 121 Shells, their attachments and their service and structural equipment shall be designed to withstand without loss of contents (other than quantitites of gas escaping through any degassing vents):- static and dynamic stresses in normal conditions of carriage;- prescribed minimum stresses as defined in marginals 212 125 and 212 127.212 122 The pressure on which the wall thickness of the shell is based shall not be less than the calculation pressure, but the stresses referred to in marginal 212 121 shall also be taken into account.212 123 Unless specially prescribed otherwise in the various classes, the following particulars shall be taken into account in the design of shells:(1) Gravity-discharge shells intended for the carriage of substances having a vapour pressure not exceeding 110 kPa (1,1 bar) (absolute pressure) at 50 °C shall be designed for a calculation pressure of twice the static pressure of the substance to be carried but not less than twice the static pressure of water.(2) Pressure-filled or pressure-discharge shells intended for the carriage of substances having a vapour pressure not exceeding 110 kPa (1,1 bar) (absolute pressure) at 50 °C shall be designed for a calculation pressure equal to 1,3 times the filling or discharge pressure.(3) Shells intended for the carriage of substances having a vapour pressure of more than 110 kPa (1,1 bar) but not more than 175 kPa (1,75 bar) (absolute pressure) at 50 °C shall, whatever their filling or discharge system, be designed for a calculation pressure of not less than 150 kPa (1,5 bar) (gauge pressure) or 1,3 times the filling or discharge pressure, whichever is the higher.(4) Shells intended for the carriage of substances having a vapour pressure of more than 175 kPa (1,75 bar) (absolute pressure) at 50 °C shall, whatever their filling or discharge system, be designed for a calculation pressure equal to 1,3 times the filling or discharge pressure but not less than 400 kPa (4 bar) (gauge pressure).212 124 Tank-containers intended to contain certain dangerous substances shall be provided with additional protection, which may take the form of additional thickness of the shell (such additional thickness being determined in the light of the dangers inherent in the substances concerned: see the relevant classes) or of a protective device.212 125 At the test pressure, the stress ó (sigma) at the most severely stressed point of the shell shall not exceed the material-dependent limits prescribed below. Allowance shall be made for any weakening due to the welds.

Where the diameter is more than 1,80 m (), this thickness shall be increased to 6 mm except in the case of shells intended for the carriage of powdery or granular substances, if the shell is of mild steel () (in conformity with the provisions of marginal 212 125) or to an equivalent thickness if the tank is of another metal.Whatever the metal used, the thickness of the shell wall shall in no case be less than 3 mm.'Equivalent thickness` means the thickness obtained by the following formula:e1 = (4) Where protection of the shell against damage is provided, the competent authority may allow the aforesaid minimum thicknesses to be reduced in proportion to the protection provided; however, the said thicknesses shall be not less than 3 mm in the case of mild steel (), or than an equivalent thickness in the case of other materials, for shells not more than 1,80 m in diameter (). For shells of a diameter exceeding 1,80 m () this minimum thickness shall be increased to 4 mm in the case of mild steel () and to an equivalent thickness in the case of other metals.'Equivalent thickness` means the thickness obtained by the following formula:e1 = (5) The protection referred to under (4) may consist of over-all external structural protection as in 'sandwich` construction where the sheathing is secured to the shell, or a structure in which the shell is supported by a complete skeleton including longitudinal and transverse structural members, or double-wall construction.Where the shells are made with double walls, the space between being evacuated of air, the aggregate thickness of the outer metal wall and the shell wall shall correspond to the minimum wall thickness prescribed in (3), the thickness of the wall of the shell itself being not less than the minimum thickness prescribed in (4).Where shells are made with double walls with an intermediate layer of solid materials at least 50 mm thick, the outer wall shall have a thickness of not less than 0,5 mm if it is made of mild steel () or at least 2 mm if it is made of a plastics material reinforced with glass fibre. Solid foam with an impact absorption capacity such as that, for example, of polyurethane foam, may be used as the intermediate layer of solid material.(6) The manufacturer's qualification for performing welding operations shall be one recognized by the competent authority. Welding shall be performed by skilled welders using a welding process whose effectiveness (including any heat treatments required) has been demonstrated by test. Non-destructive tests shall be carried out by radiography or by ultrasound and must confirm that the quality of the welding is appropriate to the stresses.In determining the thickness of the shell walls in accordance with (2), the following values of the coefficient ë (lambda) should be adopted for the welds:0,8: where the weld beads are so far as possible inspected visually on both faces and are subjected to a non-destructive spot check with particular attention to connections;0,9: where all longitudinal beads throughout their length, all connections, 25 % of circular beads, and welds for the assembly of large-diameter items of equipment are subjected to non-destructive checks. Beads shall be checked visually on both sides as far as possible;1,0: where all beads are subjected to non-destructive checks and are so far as possible inspected visually on both sides. A weld test-piece shall be taken.Where the competent authority has doubts regarding the quality of weld beads, it may require additional checks.(7) Measures shall be taken to protect shells against the risk of deformation as a result of a negative internal pressure.Unless otherwise prescribed in the special provisions for the individual classes, these shells may have valves to avoid an unacceptable negative internal pressure, without intervening bursting discs.(8) The thermal insulation shall be so designed as not to hinder access to, or the operation of, filling and discharge devices and safety valves.212 128-212 129SECTION 3ITEMS OF EQUIPMENT212 130 The items of equipment shall be so arranged as to be protected against the risk of being wrenched off or damaged during carriage or handling.

If the shells, including the service equipment, are so constructed as to withstand impact or overturning they need not be protected in this way. The thickness of the walls of the shell shall remain, throughout its period of use, not less than the minimum value required by marginal 212 127 (2).212 171 Shells shall not be loaded with any dangerous substances other than those for whose carriage they have been approved and which, in contact with the materials of the shell, gaskets, equipment and protective linings, are not liable to react dangerously with them, to form dangerous products or appreciably to weaken the material. Foodstuffs shall not be carried in these shells unless the necessary steps have been taken to prevent any harm to public health.212 172 (1) The following degrees of filling shall not be exceeded in tank-containers intended for the carriage of liquids at ambient temperatures:(a) for flammable substances without additional risks (e.g. toxicity or corrosivity), in tank-containers with a venting system or with safety valves (even where preceded by a bursting disc):degree of filling = >NUM>100>DEN>1 + á (50  P tF) % of capacity;(b) for toxic or corrosive substances (whether inflammable or not) in tank-containers with a venting system or with safety valves (even where preceded by a bursting disc):degree of filling = >NUM>98>DEN>1 + á (50  P tF) % of capacity;(c) for flammable substances and for slightly toxic or slightly corrosive substances (whether flammable or not) in hermetically closed shells () without safety device:degree of filling = >NUM>97>DEN>1 + á (50  P tF) % of capacity;(d) for highly toxic, toxic, highly corrosive or corrosive substances (whether inflammable or not) in hermetically closed shells () without safety device:degree of filling = >NUM>100>DEN>1 + á (50  P tF) % of capacity;(2) In these formulae, is the mean coefficient of cubical expansion of the liquid between 15 °C and 50 °C, i.e. for a maximum variation in temperature of 35 °C.á is calculated by the formula: á = >NUM>d15  P d50>DEN>35 × d50where d15 and d50 are the relative densities of the liquid at 15 °C and 50 °C respectively. tF is the mean temperature of the liquid during filling.(3) The provisions of (1) shall not apply to shells whose contents are, by means of a heating device, maintained at a temperature above 50 °C during carriage. In this case the degree of filling at the outset shall be such, and the temperature so regulated, that the shell is not full to more than 95 % of its capacity and that the filling temperature is not exceeded, at any time during carriage.(4) Where hot substances are loaded, the temperature of the outer surface of the shell or of the thermal insulation shall not exceed 70 °C during carriage.212 173 If the shells of tank-containers intended for the carriage of liquids () are not divided by partitions or surge plates into sections of not more than 7 500 litres capacity, they shall be filled to not less than 80 % of their capacity unless they are nominally empty.212 174 During loading and unloading of tanks, appropriate measures shall be taken to prevent the release of dangerous quantities of gases and vapours.Tank-containers shall be closed so that the contents cannot spill out uncontrolled.

The test is carried out by dropping a 5 kg steel mass onto the surface of the laminate corresponding to the external surface of the tank.(b) ApparatusThe apparatus consists of a 5 kg steel mass, a guidance device for this mass and a specimen-bearing chassis. A general diagram of the apparatus is given in figure 1. The mass is in the form of a steel cylinder provided with two guide channels, the lower extremity being spherically shaped, 90 mm diameter. The guidance device is fitted vertically to a wall.The specimen-bearer is composed of two angle-bars of 100 × 100 × 25 mm and 300 mm long, welded to a 400 × 400 mm metal support. The gap between the two bars is 175 mm. The specimen-bearer, fixed to the ground, is provided with a 50 mm deep cavity to allow flexion of the specimen.(c) Preparation of specimensFrom the sample, three specimens are taken, each measuring 200 × 200 mm × thickness of the sample.(d) Operating methodThe specimen is placed symmetrically on the specimen-bearer; if possible it rests on the support following two basic straight lines of the surface, in such a way that the mass strikes the centre of the face of the specimen corresponding to the external surface of the tank.The mass is allowed to fall from a determined height, care being taken to ensure that it does not rebound and strike the specimen a second time.The test must be conducted at ambient temperature.The height to which the mass is raised in the guidance device is noted.The other two specimens are tested in the same way.(e) RequirementThe drop height for a 5 kg mass shall be 1 metre; the specimen must not allow leakage of more than 1 litre per 24 hours when subjected to a column of water of 1 m.(6) Resistance to chemical agentsFlat reinforced plastics test plates, prepared in the laboratory, are subjected to attack by the dangerous substance at a temperature of 50 °C for 30 days in accordance with the following procedure:(a) Description of the test apparatus (shown in figure 2)The test apparatus comprises a glass cylinder, diameter 140 × 150 mm, 150 mm high with two nozzles positioned at 135° one fitted with an NS 29 joint to take an intermediate pipe for a reflux condenser (1), the other nozzle fitted with an NS 14,5 joint to take a thermometer (2), an intermediate pipe for a reflux condenser and a reflux condenser not shown in the diagram. The glass part of the apparatus shall be in glass resistant to changes of temperature.The specimens taken from the test plates form the base and the top of the glass cylinder. They are sealed to the sides of the cylinder by a PTFE collar. The cylinder with the two specimens is clamped between two pressure plates in corrosion-resistant steel with six threaded bolts tightened by means of wing nuts. An asbestos washer must be placed between the pressure plates and the specimens. These washers are not shown in figure 2. Heating is effected from outside by means of an automatically controlled sleeve heater. The temperature is measured in the chamber containing the liquid.(b) Operation of the test apparatusThe test apparatus allows only flat plates of uniform thickness to be tested. The test plates should, if possible, be 4 mm thick. Should these plates be covered with a gel coating, they must be tested in condition as for practical use. Six hexagonal specimens, each side measuring 100 mm, are cut from the test plate.For each test, three speciments are prepared per apparatus. One of these samples is used as a reference and the other two are used for checking in the liquid zone, and vapour zone of the device respectively.(c) Test procedureThe specimens to be tested are placed on the apparatus with the surface which may be gel-coated facing inwards. 1 200 ml of test liquid is poured into the glass cylinder. The apparatus is then heated to the test temperature. A constant temperature is maintained during the test. After the test the apparatus is cooled to the ambient temperature and the test liquid removed. The specimens tested are immediately washed with distilled water. Liquids which are not soluble in water are removed with a solvent which does not attack the specimens. Mechanical cleaning of the plates cannot be performed because of the danger of damaging the surface of the specimens.(d) EvaluationA visual examination is made:- if the visual examination reveals excessive attack (cracks, bubbles, pores, peeling off, swelling, or roughness), the test is conclusive negatively;- if the visual examination reveals no abnormality, bending tests are made by the methods specified in marginal 213 140 (4) on the two specimens subjected to chemical attack and on the reference specimen. In this case the bending strength shall not be more than 20 % lower than the value ascertained for the test plate not subjected to any stress.Test and quality required for the prototype unit213 141 The prototype tank shall be subjected to a hydraulic pressure test conducted by an expert approved by the competent authorities of a Member State.If the prototype tank is divided into compartments either by bulkheads or by baffle plates, the test shall be conducted on a unit made for this purpose with the same external ends as the entire tank and which represents the part of the tank subjected, under normal conditions of use, to the greatest stresses.This test should not be conducted if there has already been a successful test on another prototype unit of the same section or a section with larger dimensions, geometrically similar to that of the prototype unit in question, even if that unit has a different internal surface layer.This test must demonstrate that the prototype unit has, under normal conditions of use, a factor of not less than 7,5 so far as rupture is concerned.It must be proved, e.g. by calculation, that safety factors against fracture given in marginal 213 140 (4) are complied with for each section of the tank.Rupture occurs when the test liquid escapes from the tank in the form of jets. Consequently, before this rupture, the presence of delaminations and losses of liquid through these delaminations in the form of droplets is permitted.The prototype unit shall be submitted to a hydraulic pressure.H = 7,5 × d × hwhere H is the height of the column of water;h is the height of the tank;d is the density of the substance to be carried.If a rupture occurs with a water-column height H1 less than H, there must still beH1 &le; 7,5 × d × (h-h1)where h1 is the height of the highest point where the first jet of liquid appears.Should the flow of liquid at point h1 be too great, it is essential to make a temporary repair and temporary local strengthening to enable the test to continue to height H.Conformity check on tanks produced in series213 142 (1) The inspection of conformity on tanks produced in series shall be carried out by conducting one or more of the tests listed in marginal 213 140. However, the measurement of the degree of polymerization is replaced by Barcol hardness measurement.(2) Barcol hardnessThe test must be conducted in accordance with suitable procedures (). Barcol hardness measured on the internal surface of the finished tank shall not be less than 75 % of the value obtained in the laboratory on pure hardened resin.(3) The percentage of glass fibre must be within the limits prescribed in marginal 213 140 (2) and, in addition, must not deviate by more than 10 % of the figure for the prototype tank.Tests and qualities required for all tanks before being put into service213 143 Leakproofness testThe leakproofness test shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of marginals 211 150, 211 151 and 211 152 and the expert's stamp shall be applied to the tank.213 144-213 149SECTION 5SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR TANKS USED FOR THE CARRIAGE OF SUBSTANCES WITH A FLASH-POINT OF 55 °C OR LOWER213 150 The tank must be constructed so as to ensure the elimination of static electricity from the various component parts so as to avoid the accumulation of dangerous electric charges.213 151 All metal parts of the tank and the transport unit and also wall layers conducting electricity must be interconnected.213 152 The resistance between each conducting part and the chassis must not be higher than 106 ohms.Elimination of hazards due to charges generated by friction213 153 The surface resistance and the discharge resistance to earth of the entire surface of the tank shall conform with the requirements of marginal 213 154.213 154 The surface resistance and discharge resistance to earth measured in accordance with marginal 213 155 must satisfy the following requirements.(1) Walls not equipped with electrically conducting elements:(a) Surfaces upon which one can walk:the discharge resistance to earth shall not be higher than 108 ohms.(b) Other surfaces:the surface resistance shall not be higher than 109 ohms.(2) Walls equipped with electrically conducting elements:(a) Surfaces on which one can walk:the discharge resistance to earth shall not be higher than 108 ohms.(b) Other surfaces:conductance shall be considered as sufficient if the maximum thickness of non-conducting layers on conducting elements, for example conducting sheets, metal netting or other appropriate material, connected to the earthing connexion, does not exceed 2 mm, and that, in the case of a metal netting, the surface area of the mesh does not exceed 64 cm2.(3) Any measurement of surface resistance or discharge resistance to earth must be carried out on the tank itself shall be replaced at intervals of not more than one year to ensure that the specified resistances are not exceeded.Test methods213 155 (1) Surface resistance (R100) - (insulating resistance) in ohms, electrodes of conducting paint in accordance with figure 3 of Recommendation IEC 167 of 1964, measured in the standard 23/50 atmosphere according to Recommendation ISO R291, paragraph 3.1, of 1963.(2) The discharge resistance to earth in ohms is the ratio between the direct voltage measured between an electrode described below in contact with the surface of the tank of the vehicle and the earthed chassis of the vehicle, and the total current.The conditioning of the specimens is the same as in paragraph 1. The electrode is a disc with a surface area of 20 cm2 and a diameter of 50 mm. Its close contact with the surface of the tank must be ensured, for example by using damp paper or a damp sponge or any other suitable substance. The earthed chassis of the vehicle is used as the other electrode. A direct voltage in the range of 100 volts-500 volts shall be applied. The measurement shall be carried out after the test voltage has been applied for one minute.
