§180.503 Definitions.
§180.505 Quality assurance program.
Source: Amdt. 180-8, 60 FR 49079, Sept. 21, 1995, unless otherwise noted.
The following definitions and those contained in §§171.8 and 179.2 of this subchapter apply:
Modification means any change to a tank car that affects the certificate of construction prescribed in §179.5, including an alteration prescribed in §179.6, or conversion.
Qualification, as relevant to a tank car, means the car and its components conforms to the specification to which it was designed, manufactured, or modified to the requirements of this subpart, to the applicable requirements of the AAR Specifications for Tank Cars (IBR, see §171.7 of this subchapter), and to the owner's acceptance criteria. Qualification is accomplished by careful and critical examination that verifies conformance using inspections and tests based on a written program approved by the tank car owner followed by a written representation of that conformance. A tank car that passes the appropriate tests for its specification, has a signed test report, is marked to denote this passage, and is considered qualified for hazardous materials transportation under this subchapter.
§180.509(*)
Note 1: Subparagraph (f)(2) may require thickness tests at an interval different from the other items for qualification of the tank.
Representation means attesting through documenting, in writing or by marking on the tank (or jacket), that a tank car is qualified and railworthy. See also §§180.511 and 180.517(b).
The quality assurance program requirements of §179.7 of this subchapter apply.
