The filling and discharge devices (including flanges or threaded plugs) and protective caps (if any) shall be capable of being secured against any unintended opening. 6.10.3.5 The tanks may be equipped with openable ends. Openable ends shall comply with the following conditions: (a) The ends shall be designed to be secured leaktight when closed; (b) Unintentional opening shall not be possible; (c) Where the opening mechanism is power operated the end shall remain securely closed in the event of a power failure; (d) A safety or breakseal device shall be incorporated to ensure that the openable end cannot be opened when there is still a residual over pressure in the tank. This requirement does not apply to openable 2006/128. szám ends which are power-operated, where the movement is positively controlled. In this case the controls shall be of the dead-man type and be so positioned that the operator can observe the movement of the openable end at all times and is not endangered during opening and closing of the openable end; and (e) Provisions shall be made to protect the openable end and prevent it from being forced open during a roll-over of the tank-container or tank swap body. 6.10.3.6 Vacuum-operated waste tanks which are fitted with an internal piston to assist in the cleaning of the tank or discharging shall be provided with stop-devices to prevent the piston in every operational position being ejected from the tank when a force equivalent to the maximum working pressure of the tank is applied to the piston.

The internal piston shall be constructed in a manner and of materials which will not cause an ignition source when the piston is moved. The internal piston may be used as a compartment provided it is secured in position. Where any of the means by which the internal piston is secured is external to the tank, it shall be placed in a position not liable to accidental damage. 6.10.3.7 The tanks may be equipped with suction booms if: (a) the boom is fitted with an internal or external stop-valve fixed directly to the shell, or directly to a bend that is welded to the shell; (b) the stop-valve mentioned in (a) is so arranged that carriage with the valve in an open position is prevented; and (c) the boom is constructed in such a way that the tank will not leak as a result of accidental impact on the boom. 6.10.3.8 The tanks shall be fitted with the following additional service equipment: (a) The outlet of a pump/exhauster unit shall be so arranged as to ensure that any flammable or toxic vapours are diverted to a place where they will not cause a danger; (b) A device to prevent immediate passage of flame shall be fitted to both the inlet and outlet of a vacuum pump/exhauster unit which may create sparks and which is fitted on a tank used for the carriage of flammable wastes; (c) Pumps which can deliver a positive pressure shall have a safety device fitted in the pipework which can be pressurised. The safety device shall be set to discharge at a pressure not exceeding the maximum working pressure of the tank; (d) A stop-valve shall be fitted between the shell, or the outlet of the overfill prevention device fitted to the shell, and the pipework connecting the shell to the pump/exhauster unit; (e) The tank shall be fitted with a suitable pressure/vacuum manometer which shall be mounted in a position where it can be easily read by the person operating the pump/exhauster unit. A distinguishing line shall be marked on the scale to indicate the maximum working pressure of the tank; (f) The tank, or in case of compartmented tanks, every compartment, shall be equipped with a level indicating device. Sight glasses may be used as level indicating devices, provided: (i) they form a part of the tank wall and have a resistance to pressure comparable to that of the tank; or they must be fitted external to the tank; (ii) the top and bottom connections to the tank are equipped with shut-off valves fixed directly to the shell and so arranged that carriage with the valves in an open position is prevented; (iii) they are suitable for operation at the maximum working pressure of the tank; and (iv) they are placed in a position where they will not be liable to accidental damage. 6.10.3.9 The shells of vacuum-operated waste tanks shall be fitted with a safety valve preceded by a bursting disc.

Safety devices shall be of such a type as to resist dynamic stresses, including liquid surge. The space between the bursting disc and the safety valve shall be provided with a pressure gauge or suitable tell-tale indicator for the detection of disc rupture, pinholing or leakage which could cause a malfunction of the safety valve. 6.10.4 Inspection Vacuum-operated waste tanks shall be subject at least every two and a half years to an examination of the internal condition, in addition to the tests according to 6.8.2.4.3. 2006/128. szám Chapter 6.11 Requirements for the design, construction, inspection and testing of bulk containers 6.11.1 Definitions For the purposes of this Chapter: Closed bulk container means a totally closed bulk container having a rigid roof, sidewalls, end walls and floor (including hopper-type bottoms).
