FOREWORD

The International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974 (SOLAS), as amended deals with various aspects of maritime safety and contains in part A of chapter VII the man-datory provisions governing the carriage of dangerous goods in packaged form or in solid form in bulk Regulation Vll/1-3 prohibits the carriage of dangerous goods except in accor-dance with the provisions of part A of chapter VII which are amplified by the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code.

Regulation II-2/54 of the SOLAS Convention specifies the special requirements for a ship intended to carry dangerous goods, the keel of which was laid or which was at a similar stage of construction on or after 1 September 1984.

The International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973, as modified by the Protocol of 1978 relating thereto (MARPOL 73/78), deals with various aspects of prevention of marine pollution, and contains in its Annex III the mandatory provisions for the prevention of pollution by harmful substances carried by sea in packaged form Regulation 1(2) prohibits the carriage of harmful substances in ships except in accordance with the provisions of Annex III, which are also amplified by the IMDG Code.

In accordance with the Provisions concerning Reports on Incidents Involving Harmful Sub-stances (Protocol I to MARPOL 73/78), incidents involving losses of such substances from ships must be reported by the master or other person having charge of the ship concerned. Each substance defined as harmful to the marine environment is identified as a MARINE POLLUTANT in its individual schedule of the IMDG Code and by the superscripts P

or PP

in the General Index. Substances which may be considered harmful to the marine envi-ronment only if they contain certain quantities of marine pollutants P or PP

are identified by the superscript • in the General Index.

The IMDG Code is recommended to Governments for adoption or for use as the basis for national regulations in pursuance of their obligations under regulation Vll/1-4 of the 1974 SOLAS Convention, as amended, and regulation 1(3) of Annex III of MARPOL 73/78 Obser-vance of the Code harmonizes the practices and procedures followed in the carriage of dan-gerous goods by sea and ensures compliance with the mandatory provisions of the SOLAS Convention and of Annex III of MARPOL 73/78.

The Code, which sets out in detail the requirements applicable to each individual substance, material or article, has undergone many changes, both in layout and content, in order to keep pace with the expansion and progress of industry IMO's Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) is authorized by the Organization's Assembly to adopt amendments to the Code, thus enabling IMO to respond promptly to developments in transport.

FOREWORD

During its seventeenth session (28 October to 8 November 1991), the Assembly adopted resolution A 717(17), "Co-ordination in Matters relating to Dangerous Goods and Hazardous Substances", in order to achieve and maintain a level of harmonization between the IMDG Code and the recommendations of the other transport modes.

A revision of the Code was undertaken resulting in the latest set of amended pages (Amendment 29-98) which was adopted by the MSC at its sixty-ninth session (11 to 20 May 1998).

The MSC unanimously agreed that Amendment 29 to the Code, its Annex I, the Emergency Procedures for Ships Carrying Dangerous Goods (EmS) and the Medical First Aid Guide for Use in Accidents Involving Dangerous Goods (MFAG) should be implemented on 1 January 1999, with a six month transitional period until 1 July 1999, on the understanding that Gov-ernments had the prerogative to implement an amendment in whole or in part at any earlier date following circulation of the adopted amendments by the Organization and that the Or-ganization would be notified of any such early implementation.

Note on pagination a new page which has been in-serted between existing pages is indicated by a number followed by -1, -2, -3 etc., a page which continues or extends a page is indicated by a number followed by a, b, c etc. (in a long sequence such as a table, this would continue as a1-, z1-, a4-, z4- etc.) Note on amended text changes to existing text or new texts are indicated by shading Where there are no changes resulting from Amendment 29 but a page does not exactly match a page of the 1994 Consolidated Edition as updated by Amendment 28-96 there is shad-ing around the page number.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

5.1.9 Class 9 Miscellaneous dangerous substances and articles. In this Code class 9 comprises: 1

substances and articles not covered by other classes which experience has shown or may show to be of such a dangerous character that the provisions of part A of chapter VII of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea 1974, as amended should apply these include substances that are transported or offered for transport at temperatures equal to or exceeding 100° C in a liquid state and solids that are transported or offered for trans-port at temperatures equal to or exceeding 240° C; and

2

substances not subject to the provisions of part A of chapter VII of the aforementioned Convention but to which the regulations of Annex III of the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships 1973, as modified by the Protocol of 1978 relating thereto (MARPOL 73/78) apply.

5.1.10

For the purposes of this Code dangerous goods with a melting point or initial melting point of 20° C or lower at a pressure of 101.3 kPa should be considered to be liquid unless there is an explicit or implicit indication to the con-trary. A viscous substance for which a specific melting point cannot be determined should be subjected to the ASTM D-4359.90 test or to the test for determining fluidity (penetrometer test) prescribed in Appendix A.3 of An-nex A of the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR) with the modifications that the penetrometer shall conform to ISO 2137, 1985 and that the test shall be used for viscous substances of any class.

5.1.11 Non-classified materials:

A GENERIC or NOT OTHERWISE SPECIFIED (N.O.S.) entry may be used to offer for transport by sea a sub-stance material or article which is not listed by its name in the General Index. Such a substance material or article may be transported only after: - its dangerous hazardous and/or harmful properties have been determined; - it has been classified in accordance with the class definitions and criteria and; - the entry that most accurately describes the nature of the goods has been selected (see also subsection 7.1). Once the class of the goods has been established all applicable requirements for transport laid down in this Code should be complied with. Any substance material or article having or suspected of having explosive properties or characteristics should first be considered for classification in class 1.

5.2 Classification of substances, mixtures and solutions with multiple hazards 5.2.1

5.2.2

The table of precedence of hazard characteristics in 5.2.6 should be used as a guide in determining the class of a substance mixture or solution having more than one hazard when it is not specifically listed by name in this Code. For substances mixtures or solutions having multiple hazards which are not specifically Instead by name the most stringent packaging group of those assigned to the respective hazards of the goods takes precedence over other packaging groups irrespective of the precedence of hazard table in 5.2.6. The precedence of hazard table indicates which of the hazards should be regarded as the primary hazard. The class which appears at the intersection of the horizontal line and the vertical column is the primary hazard and the remaining class is the subsidiary hazard. The packaging groups for each of the hazards associated with the sub-stance mixture or solution should be determined by reference to the appropriate criteria. The most stringent of the groups so indicated should then become the packaging group of the substance mixture or solution.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

5.2.3 The proper shipping name (see subsection 7.1 of this General Introduction) of a substance, mixture or solution when classified in accordance with 5.2.1 and 5.2.2 should be the most appropriate N.O.S. (not otherwise speci-fied) entry in this Code for the class shown as the primary hazard.

5.2.4 The precedence of hazard characteristics of the following substances materials and articles have not been dealt with in the precedence of hazard table as these primary hazards always take precedence:

1 substances and articles in class 1; 2 gases in class 2; 3 self-reactive and related substances and desensitized explosives in class 4.1; 4 pyrophoric substances in class 4.2; 5 substances in class 5.2; 6 substances in class 6.1 with a packaging group I vapour inhalation toxicity; 7 substances in class 6.2; and 8 materials in class 7. 5.2.5 Apart from excepted radioactive materials (where the other hazardous properties take precedence), radioactive

materials having other hazardous properties should always be classified in class 7, with the greatest of the additional hazards being identified.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

5.3 Classification of solutions and mixtures subject to the provisions of part A of chapter VII of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974, as amended

5.3.1

A solution or mixture containing a dangerous substance identified by name in this Code and one or more non-dangerous substances should be shipped in accordance with the requirements for the dangerous substance except when

1 the solution or mixture is specifically listed elsewhere in this Code; or

2 the schedule for the dangerous substance specifically indicates that it applies only to the pure or technically pure substance; or

3 the class physical state or packaging group of the solution or mixture is not the same as that of the dangerous substance; or

4 there is a significant change in the measures to be taken in an emergency. 5.3.2

When considering a solution or mixture in accordance with 5.3.1 due account should be given to whether the danger-ous constituent comprising the solution or mixture has been identified as a marine pollutant. If this is the case the requirements of subsection 5.4 are also applicable.

5.3.3

For solutions and mixtures subject to 5.3.1 the qualifying word SOLUTION or MIXTURE as appropriate should be part of the proper shipping name e.g. BUTANE MIXTURE.

5.3.4

When the class physical state or packaging group has changed in comparison with the pure substance the solution or mixture should be shipped in accordance with the requirements for the changed hazard under an appropriate N.O.S. entry.

5.3.5

A mixture or solution containing one or more substances identified by name in this Code or classified under an N.O.S. or generic entry and one or more substances not subject to the provisions of this Code is not subject to the provisions of this Code if the hazard characteristics of the mixture or solution are such that they do not meet the criteria (includ-ing human experience criteria) for any class.

5.4 Classification of solutions, mixtures and isomers subject to the provisions of Annex III of the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, as modified by the Protocol of 1978 relating thereto (MARPOL 73/78)

5.4.1 A solution or mixture contain no 10% or more of a marine pollutant or marine pollutants is a MARINE POLLUTANT 5.4.2 However certain marine pollutants do have an extreme pollution potential and are identified as severe marine pollut-

ants in the individual schedules A solution or mixture containing 1% or more of these specific marine pollutant is MARINE POLLUTANT

5.4.3

A solution or mixture which does not fall within the criteria of classes 1 to 8 but which meets the criteria for marine pollutants under 5.4.1 or 5.4.2 should be offered for transport as an ENVIRONMENTALLY HAZARDOUS SUB-STANCE, LIQUID, N.O.S. or as an ENVIRONMENTALLY HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE, SOLID, N.O.S. under UN No. 3082 and UN No. 3077 respectively in class 9 even though it is not listed by name in the appendices thereto.

5.4.4

An isomer of a substance identified as a marine pollutant and covered by a generic entry in classes 1 to 8, but which does not fall within the criteria of these classes should be offered for transport as an ENVIRONMENTALLY HAZ-ARDOUS SUBSTANCE, LIQUID, N.O.S. or as an ENVIRONMENTALLY HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE, SOLID, N.O.S. under UN No. 3082 and UN No. 3077 respectively in class 9 even though it is not listed by name in the ap-pendices thereto.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

6 STANDARDIZATION OF THE FLASHPOINT TEST METHOD

6.1 The flashpoint of a flammable liquid is the lowest temperature of the liquid at which its vapour forms an ignitable mix-ture with air*. It gives a measure of the risk of formation of explosive or ignitable mixtures when the liquid escapes from its packing. A flammable liquid cannot be ignited so long as its temperature remains below the flashpoint.

6.2 The flashpoint is not an exact physical constant for a given liquid It depends to some extent on the construction of the test apparatus used and on the testing procedure. Therefore flashpoint data should specify the name of the test appa-ratus.

6.3 Several standard apparatuses are in current use. They all operate on the same principle a specified quantity of the liquid is introduced into a receptacle at a temperature well below the flashpoint to be expected then slowly heated periodically a small flame is brought near to the surface of the liquid. The flashpoint is the lowest temperature at which a flash is observed.

6.4 The test methods can be divided into two groups depending on the use in an apparatus of an open receptacle (open cup methods) or a closed one which is only opened to admit the flame (closed cup methods). As a rule the flashpoints found in an open cup test are a few degrees higher than in a closed cup test.

6.5 In general reproducibility in closed cup apparatus is better than in an open cup.

6.5.1 It's therefore recommended that flashpoints especially in the range around 23° C (73 F) should be determined by means of closed cup methods.

6.5.2 Flashpoint data in this Code are generally based on closed cup methods. In countries where it is customary to deter-mine flashpoints by the open cup method the temperatures given by that method would need to be reduced to corre-spond with those in this Code.

6.6 The following documents describe methods used in certain countries to determine the flashpoint of substances in class 3:

1 France (Association francaise de normalisation (AFNOR) Tour Europe Cedex, 7, 92080 Pans la Defense); French Standard NF M 07 019; French Standard NF M 07 011/NFT 30 050/NFT 66 009; French Standard NF M 07 036. 2 Germany (Deutscher Normenausschuss Burggrafenstrasse 6, 10787, Berlin) Standard DIN 53213 (for varnishes lacquers and similar viscous liquids with flashpoints below 65° C) 3 Netherlands ASTM D 93 90 ASTM D 3278 89 ISO 1516 ISO 1523 ISO 3679 ISO 3680

Note: The flashpoint should not be confused with the ignition temperature, which is the temperature to which an explosive vapour-air mixture must be heated to cause actual explosion. There is no relationship between the flashpoint and the ignition temperature.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

7.1.3.2

When several names are in use for the same substance one or more of those names have been chosen as proper shipping names the rest being only synonyms are included on the individual schedules and in the General Index for reference purposes only. Initials or trade names alone should not be used to describe a substance unless they are abbreviations or names approved by the international Organisation for Standardization (ISO). Trade names may be utilized on documents and packages in addition to the proper shipping name.

7.1.4

A pesticide or pesticide preparation falling within the criteria of class 3 or class 6.1, which is a marine pollutant should be offered for transport under the appropriate pesticide entry as given in the Pesticides Table supplemented with the name and the concentration of the specific pesticide in parentheses and the words MARINE POLLUTANT (see subsection 9.3 of this General Introduction). Such a pesticide or pesticide preparation which does not fall under the criteria of these classes, but which meets the criteria for marine pollutants under 5.4.1 or 5.4.2 of this General Introduction should be offered for transport as an ENVIRONMENTALLY HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE, LIQUID, N.O.S., UN No. 3082 or as an ENVIRONMENTALLY HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE , SOLID, N.O.S., UN No. 3077 under these entries in class 9 even though it is not listed by name in the appendices thereto.

7.1.5

Care should be exercised in the selection of the portion of the entry, which constitutes the proper shipping name of the dangerous goods. Portions of an entry not highlighted by capital letters need not be considered as part of the proper shipping name. When conjunctions such as, and or on are not capitalized or when capitalized segments of an entry are punctuated by commas the entire capitalized portion of the entry need not necessarily be shown as the proper shipping name on documentation or packages. This is the case particularly when a combination of several distinct entries is listed under a single UN Number.

7.1.5.1

For proper shipping names to be used for dangerous goods shipped as limited quant ties see 18.7 and 18.8 of this General Introduction.

7.1.6

Proper shipping names may end with the qualifying words SOLUTION or MIXTURE, if the conditions stated in sub-section 5.3 of this General Introduction are met.

7.1.7

Where it is not already included the qualifying word LIQUID or SOLID as appropriate should be added to the proper shipping name of a substance which due to the differing physical states of the various isomers of the substance could be either liquid or solid (see 5.1.10 of this General Introduction)

7.1.8

Where it is not already included the qualifying word MOLTEN should be added to the proper shipping name when a substance which is solid in accordance with the definition in 5.1.10 of this General Introduction is offered for trans-port in the molten state (e.g. ALKYLPHENOL, SOLID, N.O.S., MOLTEN).

7.1.9

If the proper shipping name of a substance that is transposed or offered for transport in a liquid state at a tempera-ture equal to or exceeding 100° C or in a solid state at temperatures equal to or exceeding 240° C does not convey the elevated temperature condition (for example by using the term MOLTEN or ELEVATED TEMPERATURE as part of the shipping name) the word HOT should immediately precede the proper shipping name on the transport document.

7.1.10

Proper shipping names may be used in the singular or plural as appropriate. Proper shipping names may be shown in plural where isomers of similar classification exist. Hydrates of inorganic substances may be included under the equivalent proper shipping name for the anhydrous substance as appropriate. In addition when qualifying words are used as part of the proper.

IMDG CODE - PAGE 0025 Amdt. 2896

Page 9: IMDG1998

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

shipping name their sequence on documentation or packages is optional Commercial or military names for goods of class 1 which contain the proper shipping name supplemented by additional descriptive text may be used.

7.1.11 Examples illustrating the selection of proper shipping names for such entries are:

1 UN No. 11 70 ETHANOL or ETHANOL SOLUTIONS

The proper shipping name is the most appropriate of the following possible combinations: ETHANOL ETHANOL SOLUTIONS ETHANOL SOLUTION 2

UN No. 2583 ALKYLSULPHONIC or ARYLSULPHONIC ACIDS , SOLID with more than 5% free sulphuric acid

The proper shipping name is the most appropriate of the following: ALKYLSULPHONIC ACIDS , SOLID ARYLSULPHONIC ACIDS, SOLID 3

UN No. 3207 ORGANOMETALLIC COMPOUND or COMPOUND SOLUTION or COMPOUND DISPERSION, WATER REACTIVE, FLAMMABLE, N.O.S.

The proper shipping name is the most appropriate of the following: ORGANOMETALLIC COMPOUND, WATER-REACTIVE, FLAMMABLE, N.O.S. * ORGANOMETALLIC COMPOUND SOLUTION, WATER-REACTIVE, FLAMMABLE, N.O.S. * ORGANOMETALLIC COMPOUND DISPERSION, WATER-REACTIVE, FLAMMABLE, N.O.S. * 7.1.12

Practical considerations prohibit the listing of all dangerous goods by name in this Code. Therefore many dangerous goods must be transported under one of the N.O.S. (not otherwise specified) or generic entries in this Code Due to the highly generic nature of certain of these entries neither the entry itself nor its corresponding UN Number can provide sufficient information about the dangerous goods to ensure that appropriate response action is initiated in the event of an incident involving the goods. Thus, for the purpose of documentation and marking of packages, these entries should be supplemented, in parentheses, with the additional information required by 7.1.14.

7.1.13

Entries in this Code for which this additional information is necessary are listed below HOWEVER THERE ARE OTHER ENTRIES FOR WHICH THIS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IS REQUIRED THIS IS INDICATED IN THE INDIVIDUAL SCHEDULES.

* These entries should be supplemented in parentheses, with the additional information required by 7.1.14

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

7.1.14

The additional information to be shown in documentation and on packages should be a recognized chemical name currently used in readily available scientific and technical handbooks, journals and texts. Trade names should not be used for this purpose In the case of pesticides the technical name which should supplement the proper shipping name should be the ISO common name, other name(s) listed in The WHO Recommended Classification of Pesti-cides by Hazard and Guidelines to Classification or the name of the active substance. For pesticides, the concen-tration of the active substance(s) should be included in the documentation accompanying the shipment.

7.1.14.1

When a mixture of dangerous goods is described by one of the N.O.S. or generic entries listed in the preceding pages, the inclusion in parentheses of this additional information for each constituent that contributes to the hazard of the mixture may result in such a lengthy description that marking the entire description on the packages be-comes impractical. In general not more than the two constituents which contribute most to the hazard of a mixture need be shown.

7.1.14.2

If a package containing a mixture bears a subsidiary risk label, one of the chemical names shown in parentheses should be the name of the constituent which leads to the use of the subsidiary risk label.

7.1.14.3

If a package contains a marine pollutant, the recognized chemical name (or in the case of pesticides, the ISO approved name) of the marine pollutant should always be shown.

7.2 Marking and labelling of packages

7.2.1 Marking of packages

7.2.1.1

Unless otherwise provided in this Code, each package containing dangerous goods should be durably marked with the proper shipping name (see subsection 7.1) of the contents, and, when assigned, the corresponding United Nations UN Number preceded by the letters "UN". In the case of unpackaged articles, the marking should be dis-played on the article, on its cradle or on its handling, storage or launching device.

7.2.1.2

A package containing a marine pollutant should also be durably marked with the MARINE POLLUTANT mark except:

1 packages containing marine pollutants in inner packagings with: - contents of 5 / or less for liquids, or - contents of 5 kg or less for solids, or 2 packages containing severe marine pollutants in inner packagings with: - contents of 0.5 / or less for liquids, or - contents of 500 g or less for solids. (See subsection 23.5 of this General Introduction)

7.2.1.3

The methods of marking as required in 7.2.1 on packages should be such that this information will still be identifi-able on packages surviving at least three months immersion in the sea. In considering suitable marking methods, account should be taken of the durability of the packaging materials used and of the surface of the package.

7.2.1.4 Each package containing dangerous goods packed into a container should be marked as specified in this Code.

IMDG CODE - PAGE 0027 Amdt. 29-98

Page 21: IMDG1998

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

7.2.2 Labelling of packages

7.2.2.1 Unless otherwise provided in this Code e.g. as provided in section 18 of this General Introduction, each package containing dangerous goods should be durably identified with distinctive label(s) or stencil(s) of the label(s) so as to make clear the dangerous properties of the goods. For goods of class1 in division 1.4, compatibility group S each package may alternatively be marked 1.4S.

7.2.2.2 A package containing a dangerous substance with a low degree of danger and identified as such on the individ-ual schedule may be exempt from these labelling requirements In these cases the individual schedules indicate that no hazard label is required. However, for certain substances, the package should be marked with appropri-ate text as indicated on the schedule. For example

Proper shipping name UN No. Class Mark required on package Hay* 1327 4.1 - Fishmeal 1374 4.2 Class 4.2 Batteries, wet, non-spillable 2800 8 Class 8 * No mark is required for the carriage of hay 7.2.2.3 The method of affixing the label(s) or applying stencil(s) of label(s) on packages containing dangerous goods

should be such that the label(s) or stencil(s) will still be identifiable on packages surviving at least three months' immersion in the sea. In considering suitable labelling methods account should be taken of the durability of the packaging materials used and the surface of the package.

7.2.2.4 Substances which possess subsidiary dangerous properties should where so prescribed in the individual sched-ule also bear the label denoting this hazard. In all cases, subsidiary risk labels should not bear the class number.

7.2.2.5 Substances of class 8 need not carry a subsidiary risk label of class 6.1 if the " toxicity" arises solely from the destructive effect on tissue.

7.2.2.6 Substances of class 5.2 need not carry a subsidiary risk label of class 8 if the corrosivity hazard level is packag-ing group III.

7.3 Placarding and marking of cargo transport units

7.3.1 General requirements 7.3.1.1 For the purposes of this subsection, a cargo transport unit is:

1 a road freight vehicle; 2 a railway freight wagon; 3 a freight container ; 4 a road tank vehicle; 5 a railway tank wagon; and 6 a portable tank.

7.3.1.2 Enlarged labels (placards) and if applicable, marks and signs, should be affixed to the exterior surfaces of a cargo transport unit to provide a warning that the contents of the unit are dangerous goods and present risks, unless the labels and/or marks affixed to the packages are clearly visible from the exterior of the unit.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

9 DOCUMENTATION OF DANGEROUS GOODS SHIPMENTS1 9.1 When dangerous goods are offered for shipment similar documents to those required for other categories of goods have

to be prepared. The form of these documents the particulars to be entered on them and the obligations they entail may be fixed by international conventions applying to certain modes of transport and by national legislation.

9.2 One of the primary requirements of a shipping document for dangerous goods is to convey the fundamental information relative to the hazards of the goods. It is, therefore necessary to include certain basic information on the document for a consignment of a (the) dangerous good(s) unless otherwise exempted or regulated in this Code.

9.3 The basic items of information necessary for each dangerous substance, material or article offered for shipment are:

1 The proper shipping name (see subsection 7.1 of this General Introduction).

2 The class and, when assigned the division of the goods In addition this may be followed by the class name:

- For substances and articles of , the division should be followed immediately by the compatibility group and the stowage arrangement;

- For gases possessing subsidiary hazards the information should be further amplified to indicate these hazards by adding the word "flammable" , 'oxidizing agent' and/or 'corrosive ', as appropriate;

- For AEROSOLS (UN No. 1950) transported as limited quantities see 1882;

- For class 7 radioactive materials the class should be followed immediately by the words 'RADIOACTIVE MATE-RIAL', unless this already appears in the proper shipping name.

3 The UN Number shown for the dangerous goods in the IMDG Code, preceded by the letters "UN" (Not required for consignments identified as dangerous goods in limited quantities of class/classes ).

4 Where assigned, the packaging group.

5 For class 7 radioactive materials only the class 7 schedule number.

6 Empty packagings including portable tanks and bulk packagings which contain the residue of dangerous goods should be so indicated by placing the words "EMPTY UNCLEANED" or "RESIDUE - LAST CONTAINED " before or after the proper shipping name.

7 If waste dangerous goods (other than radioactive wastes) are being transported for disposal, or for processing for disposal, the proper shipping name should be preceded by the word "WASTE".

8 The number and kind of packages and the total quantity of dangerous goods covered by the description (by volume or mass, and in the case of goods of by the net explosives mass of the contents).

9.4.1 If the dangerous goods documentation is presented to the carrier by means of electronic data processing (EDP) or electronic data interchange (EDI) transmission techniques the signature(s) may be replaced by the name(s) (in capi-tals) of the person authorized to sign.

9.5 The text of the above declaration, and the special information relative to the hazards of the goods to be carried (as in 9.3 above) should be incorporated into, or combined with, an existing transport or shipping document. The layout of the information on the document (or the order of transmission of the corresponding data by electronic or other auto-matic data processing (EDP) or electronic data interchange (EDI) techniques) should be as in 9.3.

9.6 When an existing transport or shipping document or cargo handling form cannot be used for the purposes of danger-ous goods documentation for multimodel transport a specimen declaration form has been prepared (see 9.11)*, which is suitable for use where the declaration is made on a separate document. It is not the intention to require a separate shipping document for dangerous goods when a shipment contains both dangerous and non-dangerous goods, or to restrict the number of individual descriptions that may appear on a single document. However if both dangerous and non-dangerous goods are listed on one document the dangerous goods should be listed first, or otherwise empha-sized.

9.7 Special information

9.7.1 Special information is required: 1 for goods of (see section 2 of the introduction to ); 2 for self reactive substances in class 4.1 exempted from displaying a subsidiary risk label of (see 6.1 of the intro-

duction to class 4.1);

3 for certain organic peroxides exempted from displaying a subsidiary risk label of (see 5.1.1 of the introduction to class 5.2);

4 for infectious substances (see introduction to class 6.2); 5 for radioactive materials (see section 8 of the introduction to class 7). 9.7.2 In certain circumstances special certificates are required, such as: 1 a container packing certificate (see 12.3.7 of this General Introduction); 2 a vehicle declaration (see 17.7.7 of this General Introduction); 3 a weathering certificate as required in the individual schedules; 4 a certificate exempting a substance, material or article from the provisions of the IMDG Code (e.g. see individual

entries for charcoal, fishmeal, seed cake);

5 for new self-reactive substances and organic peroxides or new formulations of currently assigned self-reactive substances and organic peroxides, a statement by the competent authority of the country of origin of the approved classification and conditions of carriage.

9.8 When packages containing dangerous goods are packed into a unit, e.g. freight container flat trailer or other vehicle intended for carriage by sea those responsible for the packing of the unit should provide a certificate or declaration in accordance with 12.3.7 or 17.7.7 of this General Introduction as appropriate. The container/vehicle/unit identification number(s) should also be indicated.

* The layout of this form complies with the recommendations contained in the Trade Data Elements Directory issued by the UN/ECE Working Party on Facilitation of International Trade Procedures (United Nations publication ECE/ TRADE/200) in particular Recommendation No.1 (United Nations Lay-out Key for Trade Documents) (ECE/TRADE/ 137, edition 82.2) and Recommendation No.11 (Documentary Aspects of the Interna-tional Transport of Dangerous Goods) (ECE/TRADE/204 edition 96.1).

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

10 PACKING

10.1 The types of packages and packagings recommended in this Code are those which, based on extensive past ex-perience, ensure a high degree of safety.

10.2 Detailed specifications and a number of performance tests applicable to a wide range of packagings recommended in this Code are to be found in Annex I to this Code.

10.2.1 Dangerous goods of all classes other than classes 1, 2, 6.2 and 7 have for packing purposes been apportioned among three categories (packaging groups) according to the degree of danger they present great danger (packaging group I), medium danger (packaging group II) and minor danger (packaging group III). The packaging group to which a substance is assigned is given in the individual schedule.

10.2.2 Performance tests should be made on packagings representative of those to be used in commercial practices. A packaging destined to contain a dangerous substance with a low degree of danger, and identified as such in the individual schedule, may be exempt from the packaging performance tests.

10.2.3 Suitable evidence must be established and kept to enable the fact that the tests have been passed successfully to be verified.

10.2.4 Each packaging manufactured and intended for use according to this Code should bear the markings specified in section 6 of Annex I to this Code.

10.3 Equivalences

In order to take into account progress in science and technology, there is no objection to the use of packagings having specifications different from those recommended in this Code, provided that they are at least equally effective acceptable to authorities concerned and able successfully to withstand the tests described in Annex I to this Code. Moreover, methods of testing, other than those described in Annex I to this Code, are acceptable provided that they be at least equally effective.

10.4 The strength of packagings should be such that they will retain their contents and keep them free from contamination under the normal conditions of carriage by sea.

10.5 Parts of packagings which are in direct contact with dangerous substances should not be affected by chemical or other action of those substances. Where necessary, they should be provided with a suitable inner coating or treat-ment. Such parts of packagings should not incorporate constituents liable to react dangerously with the contents so as to form hazardous products or to weaken them significantly.

10.5.1 Cushioning and absorbent material should be inert and suited to the nature of the contents.

10.6 Particular recommendations in respect of certain packaging materials and specifications are dealt with in detail in the separate classes.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

12 CONTAINER TRAFFIC

12.1 Applicability and definitions

12.1.1 For the purposes of this section, a 'container' is a freight container used for the transport of packaged dangerous goods, a bulk packaging for solid dangerous goods or a portable tank used for the transport of liquid and solid dangerous substances, non-refrigerated liquefied gases and refrigerated liquefied gases. For the transport of solid dangerous goods in bulk packagings see also section 25 of this General Introduction. The requirements for port-able tanks are given in section 13.

12.1.2 For the purposes of this Code, freight container means an article of transport equipment that is of a permanent character and accordingly strong enough to be suitable for repeated use, specially designed to facilitate the trans-port of goods, by one or more modes of transport, without intermediate reloading and designed to be secured and/or readily handled having fittings for these purposes. The term freight container includes neither vehicle nor packaging. However a container that is carried on a chassis is included.

12.1.3 Freight containers used for the transport of packaged dangerous goods or as bulk packagings for solid dangerous goods should be of adequate strength to resist the possible stress imposed by the conditions of the services in which they are employed and they should be adequately maintained. They should be approved in accordance with the International Convention for Safe Containers (CSC), 1972, as amended when applicable.

12.1.3.1 The International Convention for Safe Containers does not apply to offshore containers that are handled in open seas. The design and testing of offshore containers should take into account the dynamic lifting and impact forces that may occur when a container is handled in open seas in adverse weather and sea conditions. The requirement for such containers should be determined by the approving competent authority. Such requirements should be based on MSC/Circ.860 Guidelines for the approval of offshore containers handled in open seas. Such containers should be clearly marked with the words OFFSHORE CONTAINER on the safety approval plate.

12.1.4 Closed freight container means a freight container which totally encloses the contents by permanent structures. Freight containers with fabric sides or tops are not closed freight containers for the purposes of this section.

12.1.5 Open freight container means a freight container which is not a closed freight container.

12.1.6 Container space means a distance not less than 6 metres (20 feet) fore and aft or not less than 2.4 metres (8 feet) athwartship. This distance may be occupied by a container or containers containing non-dangerous materials.

12.1.7 Cellular ship means a ship in which containers are loaded under deck into specially designed slots giving a perma-nent stowage of the container during sea transport. Containers loaded on deck in such a ship are specially stacked and secured on fittings.

IMDG CODE - PAGE 0050 Amdt. 29-98

Page 31: IMDG1998

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

12.1.8 In relation to this section, the terms listed hereafter should be interpreted as described hereafter:

1 Packagings and packages refer to receptacles for dangerous goods and to receptacles containing dangerous goods respectively;

2 Packing and unpacking refer to the placing of packages containing dangerous goods into a freight container and their removal therefrom.

12.2 Permitted shipments

12.2.1 Dangerous goods which have to be segregated from each other should not be carried in the same freight container However, dangerous goods which should be segregated «AWAY FROM» each other may be carried in the same freight container with the approval of the competent authority. In such cases an equivalent standard of safety must be maintained.

12.2.2 Dangerous goods should only be transported in freight containers when they are packaged in accordance with section 10 of this General Introduction.

12.3 Freight container packing and certification

12.3.1 Packages containing dangerous substances and any other goods should be tightly packed within the freight con-tainer or adequately braced and secured for the voyage. The packages should be packed in such a way that there will be a minimum likelihood of damage to fittings during transport. Such fittings on packages should be adequately protected.

12.3.2 When a dangerous goods consignment forms only part of the load of a freight container , it should preferably be packed so as to be accessible from the doors of the freight container .

12.3.2.1 If container doors are locked, the means of locking should be such that, in case of emergency, the doors can be opened without delay (See IMO/ILO Guidelines for Packing Cargo in Freight Containers or Vehicles in the Sup-plement to this Code).

12.3.3 The requirements set out in section 9 of this General Introduction with respect to the documentation of packaged dangerous goods and freight containers used as bulk packagings for dangerous goods should be met.

12.3.4 Freight containers into which dangerous goods are to be packed should be examined visually for damage and if there is evidence of material damage the freight container should not be packed.

12.3.5 Irrelevant markings, labels, placards, orange panels and marine pollutant marks should be removed before pack-ing a freight container .

12.3.6 Packages should be examined and any found to be damaged, leaking or sifting should not be packed into a freight container . Care should be taken to see that excessive water, snow, ice or foreign matter adhering to packages is removed before packing into a freight container .

IMDG CODE - PAGE 0051 Amdt. 28-96

Page 32: IMDG1998

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

12.3.7 Those responsible for the packing of the dangerous goods into a freight container should provide a "container pack-ing certificate" certifying that this has been properly carried out and embodying the following provisions*:

-The freight container was clean, dry and apparently fit to receive the goods;

-If the consignments include goods of , other than division 1.4, the freight container is structurally serviceable in conformity with section 12 of the introduction to of the IMDG Code;

-Goods which should be segregated have not been packed together in the freight container , unless approved by the competent authority concerned in accordance with 12.2.1;

-The dangerous goods declaration required in subsection 9.4 of the General Introduction to the International Mari-time Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG Code) has been received for each dangerous goods consignment packed in the freight container .

The functions of the documents required in 12.3.3 and 12.3.7 above may be incorporated into a single document, if not, it may be desirable to attach these documents one to the other. If these functions are incorporated into a single document, e.g. a dangerous goods declaration, a shipping note, etc., the inclusion of a phrase such as "It is declared that the packing of the freight container has been carried out in accordance with the provisions of 12.3.7 of section 12 of the General Introduction to the IMDG Code" may suffice.

Note: The container packing certificate is not required for tanks.

12.3.8 The special dangerous goods list or manifest (required by regulation 5.3 of part A of chapter VII of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974, as amended (and by regulation 4 (3) of Annex III of the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973, as modified by the Protocol of 1978 relating thereto (MARPOL 73/78)) and/or a cargo plan should indicate clearly those containers in which dangerous goods are loaded and their location aboard the ship. The total quantity of each dangerous substance, in addition to the description as required under the above regulation, should also be shown in the list, manifest and/or cargo plan.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

13 PORTABLE TANKS AND ROAD TANK VEHICLES

13.1 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PORTABLE TANKS AND ROAD TANK VEHICLES FOR DANGEROUS SUBSTANCES OTHER THAN CLASS 2

13.1.1 Preamble

13.1.1.1 The requirements of this subsection apply to portable tanks and road tank vehicles intended for the transport of dangerous substances except for those of class 2, by sea. In addition to these requirements, or unless otherwise specified, the applicable requirements of the International Convention for Safe Containers (CSC) 1972 as amended, should be fulfilled by any tank which meets the definition of a container within the terms of that Con-vention. The International Convention for Safe Containers does not apply to offshore tank-containers that are handled in open seas. The design and testing of offshore tank-containers should take into account the dynamic lifting and impact forces that may occur when a tank is handled in open seas in adverse weather and sea condi-tions. The requirements for such tanks should be determined by the approving competent authority (see also MSC/Circ.613 in the annex at the end of this section). Such requirements should be based on MSC/Circ.860 Guidelines for the approval of offshore containers handled in open seas.

13.1.1.2 Attention is drawn to the fact that no requirements have been included in respect of any additional fire-fighting equipment which may be necessary on ships transporting these tanks.

13.1.1.3 In order to take into account progress in science and technology, the use of alternative arrangements may be considered where these offer at least equivalent safety in use in respect of compatibility with the properties of the substances transported and equivalent or superior resistance to impact, loading and fire.

13.1.1.4 The appendix to this subsection comprises the list of dangerous substances showing the particular requirements which modify or supplement these general requirements for each particular substance. The appendix will need updating from time to time in the light of technical progress and to include new substances.

13.1.1.4.1 In general, where a substance has not been allocated a UN Number, it should be carried under the most suitable N.O.S. entry. However, the competent authority of the country of origin may issue interim approvals for shipment of substances not listed in the appendix to this subsection to which individual UN Numbers have already been assigned. The approval should accompany the shipment concerned and contain at a minimum the information normally provided in the list of substances and the conditions under which the particular substance should be carried. The approval should contain a note to the effect that this competent authority has undertaken action to include this substance in the appendix to subsection 13.1.

13.1.1.4.2 Solid dangerous substances which do not appear on the list in the appendix to this section but which may be transported in portable tanks in accordance with paragraphs 13.1.28.2.1 and 13.1.28.2.3 are not subject to ap-proval by the competent authority of the country of origin as provided for in paragraph 13.1.1.4.1 in general. However, in the particular case provided for in paragraph 13.1.28.2.3 it is necessary to obtain competent author-ity approval but it is not necessary for that approval to contain a note to the effect that the competent authority has undertaken action to include this substance in the appendix to subsection 13.1.

13.1.1.5 These requirements do not apply to rail tank-wagons (except for materials of class 7), non-metallic tanks, tanks intended for the transport of liquids having a capacity of 450 litres or less, and tanks for substances of class 2.

IMDG CODE - PAGE 0058 Amdt. 29-98

Page 35: IMDG1998

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

13.1.2 Definitions 13.1.2.1 For the purposes of these requirements.

13.1.2.2 Portable tank means a tank having a capacity of more than 450 litres whose shell is fitted with items of service equipment and structural equipment necessary for the transport of dangerous substances whose vapour pressure is not more than 3 bar (absolute) at a temperature of 50° C. It is a tank that has stabilizing members external to the shell and is not permanently secured on board the ship Its contents should not be loaded or discharged while the tank remains on board. It should be capable of being loaded and discharged without the need of removal of its structural equipment and be capable of being lifted on and off the ship when loaded.

NOTES:

1 Portable tanks being in conformity with the requirements of this section are not considered to be intermediate bulk containers (IBCs);

2 IBCs being in conformity with the requirements of section 26 of this General Introduction are not considered to be portable tanks.

13.1.2.3 Shell means the tank proper including openings and their closures but does not include service equipment (see 13.1.2.4).

13.1.2.4 Service equipment of a shell means filling and discharge venting safety heating and heat insulating devices and measuring instruments.

13.1.2.5 Structural equipment means the reinforcing fastening protective or stabilizing members of the shell.

13.1.2.6 Maximum allowable working pressure means a pressure that is not less than the higher of the following two pres-sures measured at the top of the tank while in operating position:

1 The highest effective pressure allowed in the shell during filling or discharge; or

2 the maximum effective gauge pressure to which tanks for liquids should be designed which is the sum of the following partial pressures minus 1 bar;

2.1 The vapour pressure (in bar) at 65° C; and

2.2 the partial pressure (in bar) of air or other gases in the ullage space being determined by a maximum ullage temperature of 65° C and a liquid expansion due to the increase of the bulk mean temperature of tr - tf (tf - filling temperature usually 15° C, t - 50° C the maximum mean bulk temperature).

13.1.2.7 Test pressure means the maximum gauge pressure at the top of a tank during a hydraulic test.

13.1.2.8 Design pressure means the pressure used according to a recognized pressure vessel code as mentioned in 13.1.3.11 for the design of every element of the tank.

The design pressure should never be less than the highest of the following three pressures:

1 the working pressure as given in 13.1.2.6.1; or

2 the sum of the pressure as given in 13.1.2.6.2 and the dynamic head pressure determined on the basis of the dynamic forces due to inertia specified in 13.1.4.1 minus 1.0 bar such a dynamic head pressure should never be taken to be less than 0.35 bar; or

3 the required test pressure divided by 1.5.

IMDG CODE - PAGE 0059 Amdt. 27-94

Page 36: IMDG1998

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

13.1.3.11 Tanks should be designed manufactured and tested in accordance with a recognized pressure vessel code taking into account the design pressure as defined in 13.1.2.8.

13.1.3.12 Tanks should be of a design capable of being stress analysed mathematically or experimentally by resistance strain gauges or by any other acceptable method.

13.1.3.13 Tanks should be designed and manufactured to withstand a test pressure equal to at least 1.5 times the maxi-mum allowable working pressure. However the test pressure should never be lower than 1.5 bar. Specific re-quirements are laid down for various substances authorized to be carried in tanks in the appendix to this subsec-tion. Attention is also drawn to the minimum shell thickness requirements specified in 13.1.5.1 to 13.1.5.8.

13.1.3.14 Tanks without vacuum relief valves should be designed to withstand an external pressure at least 0.4 bar above the internal pressure. Tanks equipped with vacuum relief valves should be designed to withstand an external overpressure of 0.21 bar or greater and should have their vacuum relief valve set to relieve at minus (-) 0.21 bar except that a greater negative setting may be utilized provided the external design pressure is not exceeded. All vacuum relief valves used on tanks for the transport of liquids with flashpoints below 61° C (c.c.) should be equipped with a flame trap.

13.1.3.15 Tanks intended to contain certain dangerous substances should be provided with additional protection which may take the form of additional thickness of the shell or a higher test pressure the additional thickness or higher test pressure being determined in the light of the dangers inherent in the substances concerned. The requirements for each substance are given in the list in the appendix to this subsection.

13.1.4 Design criteria

13.1.4.1 Tanks and their fastenings should under the maximum permissible load be capable of absorbing the following dynamic forces:

1 in the direction of travel twice the total mass;

2 horizontally at right angles to the direction of travel the total mass (where the direction of travel is not clearly determined the maximum permissible load should be equal to twice the total mass);

3 vertically upwards the total mass; and

4 vertically downwards twice the total mass (total loading including the effect of gravity).

13.1.4.2 Under each of these loads the safety factors to be observed for the primary combined stress should be as fol-lows:

1 for metals having a clearly defined yield point a safety factor of 1.5 in relation to the determined yield stress; or

2 for metals with no clearly defined yield point a safety factor of 1.5 in relation to the guaranteed 0.2% (1.0% for austenitic steels) proof stress.

Note: The above loads do not give rise to an increase in the pressure in the vapour space.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

13.1.4.3 At the test pressure the membrane stress in the shell should conform to the material-dependent limitations pre-scribed below:

1 for metals and alloys exhibiting a clearly defined yield point or characterized by a guaranteed conventional yield stress Re (generally 0.2% proof stress, for austenitic steels 1.0% proof stress) the membrane stress should not exceed 0.75Re or 0.50Rm, whichever is lower;

2 In the case of steel, the elongation at fracture in per cent should not be less than 10000/Rm, where Rm is in N/mm2, with an absolute minimum of 20% based on a standard gauge length of 50 mm In the case of alumin-ium, the elongation at fracture, in per cent should not be less than 10000/6Rm, where Rm is in N/mm2 with an absolute minimum of 12%.

13.1.4.4 The specimens used to determine the elongation at fracture should be taken transversely to the direction of rolling and be so secured that,

where

Lo = gauge length of the specimen before the test; d = diameter; and A = cross-sectional area of the test specimen.

13.1.5 Minimum shell thickness

13.1.5.1 The minimum shell thickness referred to in this subsection may be used only if design criteria calculations do not indicate that a greater thickness is required.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

13.1.1.9.3 The shell and items of equipment of each tank should be inspected and tested either together or separately first before being put into service (initial inspection and test) and thereafter at no more than five year intervals (peri-odic inspection and test). The initial inspection and test should include a check of the design characteristics an internal and external examination and a hydraulic pressure test. If the shell and equipment have been pressure tested separately they should together be subjected after assembly to a leakage test. The periodic inspections and tests should include an internal and external examination and as a general rule a pressure test:

1 Sheathing thermal insulation and the like should be removed only to the extent required for reliable appraisal of the tanks condition. The initial and periodic pressure tests should be carried out by the competent authority at the test pressure indicated on the data plate of the tank except in cases where periodic tests at lower test pressures are authorized;

2 The tank should be inspected for corroded areas dents or other conditions which indicate weakness that might render the tank unsafe in transport and while under pressure for leakage. If any evidence of such unsafe condition is discovered the tank should not be placed in or returned to service until it has been repaired and the test repeated has been passed.

13.1.1.9.4 Before tanks are put into service and thereafter at intervals midway between the five yearly inspection and tests specified in 13.1.1.9.3 the following tests and inspections should be performed:

1 a leakage test where required;

2 a test of satisfactory operation of all service equipment; and

3 an internal and external inspection of the tanks and their fittings with due regard to the substances trans-ported.

13.1.1.9.5 The 2.5 year (midway) inspection and test may be carried out within 3 months of the specified date. The date of the 2.5 year inspection should be durably marked on or as near as possible to the metal identification plate re-quired in 13.1.20.1. When marking is not done on the plate the characters should be at least 32 mm in height and of a contrasting colour to the tank.

13.1.19.6 The 2.5 year internal inspections may be waived or substituted for by other test methods by the competent au-thority in the case of tanks intended for dedicated transport. A portable tank may not be filled and offered for transport after the date of expiry of the last 5 year or 2.5 year periodic inspection and test as required by 13.1.19.3 and 13.1.19.4/13.1.15.3 and 13.1.15.4/13.2.13.3 and 13.2.13.4. However a portable tank filled prior to the date of expiry of the last periodic inspection and test may be transported for a period not to exceed three months beyond the date of expiry of the last periodic test or inspection In addition a portable tank may be trans-ported after the date of expiry of the last periodic test and inspection:

1 After emptying but before cleaning, for purposes of performing the next required test and inspection prior to refilling; and

2 Unless otherwise approved by the competent authority for a period not to exceed six months beyond the date of expiry of the last periodic test and inspection in order to allow the return of dangerous goods for proper disposal or recycling. Reference to this authorization should be entered in the dangerous goods shipping document.

13.1.19.7 When the tank is damaged it should be so repaired as to comply with these recommendations.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

13.1.19.8 In all cases where cutting burning or welding operations on the shell of the tank have been effected that work should be to the approval of the competent authority and a hydrostatic test to at least the original test pressure should be carried out.

13.1.19.9 The certificate and the test report required under 13.1.19.1 and the certificate showing the results of the initial hydrostatic test for each tank issued by the competent authority or its approved inspecting agency should be retained by the authority or agency and the owners during the time the tank is in service. As a minimum the cer-tificate issued under 13.1.19.1 should provide the information required in 13.1.20.1.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

13.1.20 Marking 13.1.20.1

Every tank should be fitted with a corrosion resistant metal plate permanently attached in a place readily accessible for inspection. At least the following particulars should be marked on the plate in characters at least 3 mm in height by stamping engraving embossing or any similar method. If for reasons of tank ar-rangements the plate cannot be permanently attached to the shell the shell should be marked with at least those particulars required by a recognized pressure vessel code in a manner prescribed by that code.

The plate should be kept free of paint to ensure that the markings will be legible at all times.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

13.1.55.2 The following requirements apply to tanks intended for the transport of organic peroxides (type F) with a Self-Accelerating Decomposition Temperature (SADT) of 55 ° C or more In case of conflict, these requirements prevail over 13.1 to 13.1.26. Emergencies to be taken into account are the self accelerating decomposition of the or-ganic peroxide and the fire engulfment as described in 13.1.55.8.

13.1.55.3 Formulations of organic peroxides transported in portable tanks with an SADT less than 55° C have to be sub-jected to the temperature control requirements given in section 21 of this General Introduction. The additional requirements for transport in tanks of organic peroxides with an SADT less than 55° C should be specified by the competent authority of the country of origin and notification thereof should be sent to the competent authority of the country of destination.

13.1.55.4 Tanks should be designed for a test pressure of at least 0.4 MPa (4 bar).

13.1.55.5 Tanks should be fitted with temperature-sensing devices.

13.1.55.6 Tanks should be fitted with pressure relief devices and emergency relief devices. Vacuum-relief devices may also be used. Pressure relief devices should operate at pressures determined according to both the properties of the organic peroxide and the construction characteristics of the tank. Fusible elements are not allowed in the shell of the tank.

13.1.55.7 The pressure-relief devices should consist of spring loaded valves fitted to prevent significant build-up within the tank of the decomposition products and vapours released at a temperature of 50° C. The capacity and start-to-discharge pressure of the relief valves should be based on the results of the tests specified in 13.1.55.1. The start to discharge pressure should however in no case be such that liquid would escape from the valve or valves if the tank is overturned.

13.1.55.8 The emergency-relief devices may be of the spring-loaded or frangible types designed to vent all the decomposi-tion products and vapours evolved during a period of not less than one hour of complete fire-engulfment as calcu-lated by the following equations.

0.82AF 70961 q ⋅=

where

q = heat absorption [W];

A = wetted area [m2];

F = insulation factor [-];

F = 1 for non-insulated vessels; or

47032Tpo)U(923F −=

where K = heat conductivity of insulation layer (W m1 K1];

L = thickness of insulation layer [m];

U - K/L = heat transfer coefficient of the insulation [W m 2 K1];

Tpo = temperature of peroxide at relieving conditions [K].

for insulated vessels

Page 43: IMDG1998

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

The start-to-discharge pressure of the emergency-relief device (s) should be higher than that specified in 13.1.55.7 and based on the results of the tests referred to in 13.1.55.1. The emergency-relief devices should be dimensioned in such a way that the maximum pressure in the tank never exceeds the test pressure of the tank.

Note: An example of a method to determine the size of emergency-relief devices is given in Appendix 5 of the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Crite-ria.

13.1.55.9 For insulated tanks the capacity and setting of emergency relief device or devices should be determined assum-ing a loss of insulation of 1% of the surface area.

13.1.55.10 Vacuum-relief devices and spring-loaded valves should be provided with flame arresters. Due attention should be paid to the reduction of the relief capacity caused by the flame arrester.

13.1.55.11 Service equipment such as valves and external piping should be so arranged that no organic peroxide remains in them after filling of the tank.

13.1.55.12 Tanks may be either insulated or protected by a sun shield. If the SADT of the organic peroxide in the tank is 55°C or less, or the tank is constructed of aluminium, the tank should be completely insulated. The outer surface should be finished in white or bright metal.

13.1.55.13 The degree of filling should not exceed 90% at 15° C.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

13.100 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PORTABLE TANKS AND ROAD TANK VEHICLES FOR NON-REFRIGERATED LIQUEFIED GASES OF CLASS 2

13.101 Preamble

13.101.1 The requirements of this subsection apply to portable tanks (type 5 tanks) and road tank vehicles (type 6 tanks) intended for the transport of non-refrigerated liquefied gases of class 2. In addition to these requirements and unless otherwise specified, the applicable requirements of the International Convention for Safe Containers (CSC), 1972, as amended should be fulfilled by any portable tank which meets the definition of a "container" within the terms of that Convention. The International Convention for Safe Containers does not apply to offshore tank-containers that are handled in open seas. The design and testing of offshore tank-containers should take into account the dynamic lifting and impact forces that may occur when a tank is handled in open seas in ad-verse weather and sea conditions. The requirements for such tanks should be determined by the approving competent authority (see MSC/Circ.613 in the annex at the end of this section). Such requirements should be based on MSC/Circ.860 Guidelines for the approval of offshore containers handled in open seas.

13.101.2 In order to take into account progress in science and technology the use of alternative arrangements which offer at least equivalent safety in use in respect of compatibility with the properties of the gases transported and equivalent or superior resistance to impact, loading and fire may be considered by the national competent au-thority.

13.101.3 The requirements of this subsection are presented in two parts. The first contains general requirements applica-ble to portable tanks and road tank vehicles intended for the transport of non-refrigerated liquefied gases of class 2. The second contains the appendix* with a table showing the particular requirements which modify or supplement the general requirements of this subsection for each particular gas.

13.101.3.1 In general, where a substance has not been allocated a UN Number, it should be carried under the most suit-able N.O.S. entry. However, the competent authority of the country of origin may issue interim approvals for shipment of gases not listed in the appendix to this subsection to which individual UN Numbers have already been assigned. The approval should accompany the shipment concerned and contain at a minimum the infor-mation normally provided in the list of non-refrigerated liquefied gases and the conditions under which the par-ticular gases should be carried. The approval should contain a note to the effect that this competent authority has undertaken action to include this gas in the appendix to subsection 13.100.

13.101.4 Construction, equipment, testing, marking and operation of portable tanks and road tank vehicles should be subject to acceptance by the competent authority of the country in which they are approved.

13.101.5 The requirements of this subsection do not apply to rail tank-wagons, non-metallic tanks or tanks having a ca-pacity of 1.000 litres or less.

13.101.6 IMO type 5 tanks certified prior to the implementation of these revised requirements and constructed in accor-dance with the requirements in force at the time may be permitted for use with competent authority approval. The approval should refer to this paragraph.

* The appendix will need updating from time to time in the light of technical progress and to include new substances.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

13.102 Definitions 13.102.1 For the purposes of these requirements.

13.102.2 For the purposes of this subsection tank means a portable tank or the carrying tank of a road tank vehicle the shell of which is fitted with items of service equipment and structural equipment necessary for the transport of gases. A tank should be capable of being transported loaded and discharged without the need of removal of its structural equipment.

13.102.3 Shell means the pressure vessel proper including openings and their closures.

13.102.4 Service equipment of a shell means filling and discharge venting safety heating and heat insulating devices and measuring instruments.

13.102.5 Structural equipment means the reinforcing fastening protective and stabilizing members external to the shell and for a road tank vehicle includes fastenings to running gear or chassis.

13.102.6 Maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) means the maximum gauge pressure permissible at the top of the tank in its operating position. It may be no less than the vapour pressure at the design reference temperature less one bar of any product which can be loaded and carried and any pressure which might be used during loading or unloading In no case should the MAWP be less than 7 bar.

13.102.7 Test pressure means the highest pressure which arises in the shell during the hydraulic pressure test.

13.102.8 Discharge pressure means the highest pressure actually built up in the shell when it is being discharged by pressure.

13.102.9 Leakage test is the test which submits the shell complete with those items of service equipment necessary for filling discharge safety and measuring to an effective internal pressure equivalent to the MAWP. The procedure to be adopted should be approved by the competent authority.

13.102.10 Total mass means the mass of the portable tank or road tank vehicle with the heaviest load authorized for trans-port.

13.102.11 Design reference temperature means the temperature at which the vapour pressure of the tank contents is de-termined for the purpose of calculating the MAWP.

The design reference temperature should be less than the critical temperature of the gas to be transported to ensure that the gas at all times is liquefied.

For portable tanks the temperature to be taken is as follows:

1 for a tank with a diameter of 1.5 metres or less 65° C; 2 for a tank with a diameter of more than 1.5 metres; 2.1 without insulation or sun shield 60° C; 2.2 with sun shield 55° C; and 2.3 with insulation 50° C*. For a road tank vehicle the temperature to be taken is to be agreed by the competent authorities.

* This reference temperature is envisaged but dependent on the quality of the insulation system.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

13.115.3 The shell and items of equipment of each tank should be inspected and tested either together or separately first before being put into service (initial inspection and test) and thereafter at not more than five year intervals (periodic inspection and test).

13.115.3.1 The initial inspection and test should include a check of the design characteristics and internal and external examination and a hydraulic pressure test. If the shell and equipment have been pressure tested separately they should together be subjected after assembly to a leakage test. All welds in the shell should be tested in the initial inspection by radiographic ultrasonic or another suitable non-destructive method. This does not apply to the metal sheathing of an insulation.

13.115.3.2 The periodic inspections and tests should include an internal and external examination and as a general rule a pressure rest.

13.115.3.2.1 Sheathing thermal insulation and the like should be removed only to the extent required for reliable appraisal of the tank's condition.

13.115.3.3 The initial and periodic pressure tests should be carried out by an expert approved by the competent authority at the test pressure indicated on the data plate of the tank except in cases where periodic tests at lower test pressures are authorized.

13.115.3.4 While under pressure the tank should be inspected for leakage or other conditions which indicate weaknesses that night render the tank unsafe in transport and if any evidence of such unsafe condition is discovered the tank should not be placed in or returned to service until it has been repaired and the test repeated has been passed.

13.115.4 Before tanks are put into service and thereafter at intervals midway between the inspections and tests speci-fied in 13.115.3 the following tests and inspections should be performed:

1 a leakage test where required;

2 a test of satisfactory operation of all service equipment; and

3 an internal and external inspection of the tanks and their fittings with due regard to the gases transported.

13.115.5 The 2.5 year (midway) inspection and test may be carried out within 3 months of the specified date. The date of the 2.5 year inspection should be durably marked on or as near as possible to the metal identification plate required in 13.117.1. When marking is not done on the plate the characters should be at least 32 mm in height and of a contrasting colour to the tank.

13.115.6 The 2.5 year internal inspections may be waived or substituted by other test methods by the competent authority in the case of tanks intended for the transport of one substance. A portable tank may not be filled and offered for transport after the date of expiry of the last 5 year or 2.5 year periodic inspection and test as re-quired by 13.1.19.3 and 13.1.19.4/13.115.3 and 13.115.4/13.213.3 and 13.213.4. However, a portable tank filled prior to the date of expiry of the last periodic inspection and test may be transported for a period not to exceed three months beyond the date of expiry of the last periodic test or inspection In addition a portable tank may be transported after the date of expiry of the last periodic test and inspection.

1 After emptying but before cleaning for purposes of performing the next required test and inspection prior to refilling; and

2 Unless otherwise approved by the competent authority for a period not to exceed six months beyond the date of expiry of the last periodic test and inspection, in order to allow the return of dangerous goods for proper disposal or recycling. Reference to this authorization should be entered in the dangerous goods shipping document.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

13.115.9 A certificate from the competent authority or its approved inspecting agency affirming that the tank complies with the requirements of this Code should be issued and should be retained by the authority and the owners during the time the tank is in service. All information required in 13.117.1 and 13.117.2 should also be included in this certifi-cate.

13.116 Approval, testing and marking of type 6 tanks

13.116.1 Road tank vehicles are to be authorized for short international voyages only.

13.116.2 For any road tank vehicles intended for transport of a substance listed in the appendix to this subsection there should be in existence a valid certificate issued by or on behalf of the competent authority for road transport au-thorizing transport of that substance by road.

13.116.3 The competent authority for sea transport or a body authorized by that authority should issue additionally in re-spect of a road tank vehicle a certificate attesting compliance with the relevant design construction and equipment requirements of this subsection and, where appropriate the special requirements for the gases listed in the ap-pendix to this subsection. The certificate should list the gases allowed to be transported.

13.116.4 A road tank vehicle should be periodically tested and inspected in accordance with the requirements of the com-petent authority for road transport.

13.116.5 Road tank vehicles should be marked in accordance with 13.117. However where the marking required by the competent authority for road transport is substantially in agreement with that of 13.117.1 it will be sufficient to endorse the plate attached to the road tank vehicle with "IMO type 6".

13.117 Marking

13.117.1 Every tank should be fitted with a corrosion resistant metal plate permanently attached in a place readily accessi-ble for inspection. At least the following particulars should be marked on the plate in characters at least 3 mm in height by stamping, engraving, embossing or any similar method. If for reasons of tank arrangements the plate cannot be permanently attached to the shell the shell should be marked with at least those particulars required by a recognized pressure vessel code in a manner prescribed by that code.

The plate should be kept free of any paint to ensure that the markings will be legible at all times.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

13.200 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PORTABLE TANKS AND ROAD TANK VEHICLES FOR REFRIGERATED LIQUEFIED GASES OF CLASS 2

13.201 Preamble

13.201.1 The requirements of this subsection apply to portable tanks (type 7 tanks) and road tank vehicles (type 8 tanks) intended for the transport of refrigerated liquefied gases of class 2. In addition to the requirements of this subsec-tion and unless otherwise specified, the applicable requirements of the International Convention for Safe Contain-ers (CSC), 1972, as amended, should be fulfilled by any portable tank which meets the definition of a "container" within the terms of that Convention. The International Convention for Safe Containers does not apply to offshore tank-containers that are handled in open seas. The design and testing of offshore tank-containers should take into account the dynamic lifting and impact forces that may occur when a tank is handled in open seas in adverse weather and sea conditions. The requirements for such tanks should be determined by the approving competent authority (see also MSC/Circ.613 in the annex at the end of this section). Such requirements should be based on MSC/Circ.860 Guidelines for the approval of offshore containers handled in open seas.

13.201.2 In order to take into account progress in science and technology, the use of alternative arrangements which offer at least equivalent safety in use in respect of compatibility with the properties of the substances transported and equivalent or superior resistance to impact, loading and fire may be considered by the national competent author-ity.

13.201.3 Existing tanks and their service equipment not conforming strictly to the requirements set forth, but having ac-ceptable alternatives, may be considered by the competent authority for approval. In the approval it should be clearly stated that the basis for the issue of the certificate is this paragraph. In the certificate the entry should read "Approved in accordance with 13.201.3 of the IMDG Code ".

13.201.4 The appendix* to this subsection comprises the list of dangerous substances and also indicates any special re-quirements which modify or supplement these general requirements for each particular substance.

13.201.5 Construction, equipment, testing, marking and operation of portable tanks and road tank vehicles should be sub-ject to acceptance by the competent authority of the country in which they are approved.

13.201.6 These requirements do not apply to rail tank-wagons, non-metallic tanks or tanks having a capacity of 1.000 litres or less.

13.202 Definitions

13.202.1 For the purposes of these requirements.

13.202.2 Type 7 tank means a thermally insulated portable tank fitted with items of service and structural equipment nec-essary for the transport of refrigerated liquefied gases. The portable tank should be capable of being transported, loaded and discharged without the need of removal of its structural equipment and should be capable of being lifted when full. It should not be permanently secured on board the ship.

* The appendix will need updating from time to time in the light of technical progress and to include new substances.

IMDG CODE - PAGE 0107 Amdt. 29-98

Page 89: IMDG1998

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

Its contents should not be loaded or discharged while the portable tank remains on board.

13.202.2.1 Type 8 tank means a road tank vehicle and includes a semi-trailer with a permanently attached thermally insu-lated tank fitted with items of service equipment and structural equipment necessary for the transport of refriger-ated liquefied gases. It should be fitted with permanent attachments such that it can be secured on board ship. However, its contents should not be loaded or discharged whilst the vehicle remains on board. A road tank vehicle should only be carried on short international voyages.

13.202.3 Tank means a construction which normally consists of:

1 a jacket and one or more inner shells where the space between the shell or shells and the jacket incorpo-rates thermal insulation and is exhausted of air (vacuum insulation); or

2 a jacket and an inner shell with ah intermediate layer of solid thermally insulating material (e.g. solid foam); or

3 an outer shell with an inner layer of solid thermally insulating material.

13.202.4 Shell means a pressure vessel proper, including openings and their closures.

13.202.5 Service equipment of a tank means filling and discharge, venting, safety, thermal-insulating devices and measuring instruments.

13.202.6 Structural equipment means the reinforcing, fastening, protective and stabilizing members external to a tank and includes for a road tank vehicle fastenings to running gear or chassis.

13.202.7 Maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) means the maximum effective gauge pressure permissible at the top of the shell of a loaded tank in its operating position.

13.202.8 Test pressure means the maximum gauge pressure which arises in the shell during the pressure test.

13.202.9 Leakage test means a test which consists of subjecting the shell, complete with its service equipment, to an effective internal pressure equivalent to the MAWP. The procedure to be adopted should be approved by the competent authority.

13.202.10 Total mass means the mass of the portable tank or road tank vehicle with the heaviest load authorized for trans-port.

13.202.11 Holding time means the time that will elapse from the moment the liquid starts boiling at atmospheric pressure up to the moment the pressure of the tank contents reaches the MAWP under equilibrium conditions.

13.202.12 Minimum design temperature means the lowest contents temperature at which the tank can be used.

13.202.13 Short international voyage means an international voyage in the course of which a ship is not more than 200 miles from a port or place in which the passengers and crew could be placed in safety. Neither the distance between the last port of call in the country in which the voyage begins.

IMDG CODE - PAGE 0108 Amdt. 27-94

Page 90: IMDG1998

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

13.213.4 Before a portable tank is put into service, and thereafter at intervals midway between the inspections and tests provided in 13.213.3, the following tests and inspections should be performed:

1 a leakage test, where required; 2 a test of satisfactory operation of all service equipment; 3 an external inspection of the portable tank and its fittings with due regard to the gases transported; and 4 a vacuum reading where applicable. 13.213.5 The 2.5 year (midway) inspection and test may be carried out within 3 months of the specified date. The date of

the 2.5 year inspection should be durably marked on or as near as possible to the metal identification plate re-quired in 13.215.1. When marking is not done on the plate, the characters should be at least 32 mm in height and of a contrasting colour to the tank. A portable tank may not be filled and offered for transport after the date of expiry of the last 5 year or 2.5 year periodic inspection and test as required by 13.1.19.3 and 13.1.19.4/13.115.3 and 13.115.4/13.213.3 and 13.213.4. However, a portable tank filled prior to the date of expiry of the last periodic inspection and test may be transported for a period not to exceed three months beyond the date of expiry of the last periodic test or inspection In addition, a portable tank may be transported after the date of expiry of the last periodic test and inspection.

1 After emptying but before cleaning, for purposes of performing the next required test and inspection prior to refilling; and

2 Unless otherwise approved by the competent authority for a period not to exceed six months beyond the date of expiry of the last periodic test and inspection, in order to allow the return of dangerous goods for proper disposal or recycling. Reference to this authorization should be entered in the dangerous goods shipping document.

13.213.6 When a portable tank is damaged it should not be allowed to be used until it has been repaired so as to comply with these requirements. When the shell is damaged it should be repaired and re-tested in conformity with 13.213.7.

13.213.7 In all cases where cutting, burning or welding operations on the shell of a portable tank have been carried out, that work should be to the satisfaction of the competent authority and a pressure test to at least the original test pressure should be carried out.

13.213.8 Certificates showing the results of the test should be issued by the competent authority. All information required in 13.215.1 and 13.215.2 should also be included in this certificate.

13.214 Approval, testing and marking of type 8 tanks

13.214.1 Road tank vehicles are to be authorized for short international voyages only.

13.214.2 For any road tank vehicle intended for transport of a substance listed in the appendix to this subsection there should be in existence a valid certificate issued by or on behalf of the competent authority for road transport au-thorizing transport of that substance by road.

Page 91: IMDG1998

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

13.214.3 The competent authority for sea transport or a body authorized by that authority should issue additionally in re-spect of a road tank vehicle a certificate attesting compliance with the relevant design construction and equipment requirements of this subsection and where appropriate the special requirements for the gases in the appendix to this subsection. The certificate should list the gases allowed to be transported.

13.214.4 A road tank vehicle should be tested and inspected in accordance with the requirements of the competent author-ity for road transport.

13.214.5 Road tank vehicles should be marked in accordance with 13.215. However where the marking required by the competent authority for road transport is substantially in agreement with that of 13.215.1 it will be sufficient to endorse the metal plate attached to the road tank vehicle with IMO type 8, the reference to holding time may be omitted.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

15 SEGREGATION

15.1 General

15.1.1 The requirements of this section should apply to all cargo spaces on deck or under deck of all types of ships and to all cargo transport units (CTUs).

15.1.2 The International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974, as amended, requires in regulation 6.1 of part A of chapter VII that incompatible goods shall be segregated from one another.

15.1.3 For the Implementation of this requirement, two substances or articles are considered mutually incompatible when their stowage together may result in undue hazards In case of leakage or spillage, or any other accident.

15.1.4 The extent of the hazard arising from possible reactions between incompatible dangerous goods may vary and so the segregation arrangements required should also vary as appropriate. Such segregation is obtained by maintain-ing certain distances between incompatible dangerous goods or by requiring the presence of one or more steel bulkheads or decks between them, or a combination thereof. Intervening spaces between such dangerous goods may be filled with other cargo compatible with the dangerous substances in question.

The following segregation terms are used throughout this Code:

.1 «AWAY FROM»;

.2 "Separated from";

.3 "Separated by a complete compartment or hold from";

.4 "Separated longitudinally by an intervening complete compartment or hold from".

15.1.5

These terms are defined in 15.2 and their use in regard to the different modes of sea transport is explained further in the other subsections of this section.

The general requirements for segregation between the various classes of dangerous goods are shown in the "segregation table" of 15.1.17. in addition to these general requirements, there may be a need to segregate a particular substance, material or article from other goods which could contribute to its hazard. Particular require-ments for segregation are indicated in the individual schedules and, in the case of conflicting requirements, always take precedence over the general requirements.

For example:

On the schedule for ACETYLENE, DISSOLVED, Class 2.1, UN No. 1001 the following particular segregation requirement is specified:

15.1.6

«SEPARATED FROM» chlorine.

15.1.6.1 Where the Code Indicates a single secondary hazard (one subsidiary risk label), the segregation requirements applicable to that hazard should take precedence where they are more stringent than those of the primary hazard.

IMDG CODE - PAGE 0127 Amdt. 29-98

Page 95: IMDG1998

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

15.1.6.2 Except for , the segregation requirements for substances, materials or articles having more than two hazards (two or more subsidiary risk labels) are given in the individual schedules.

For example:

The schedule for BROMINE CHLORIDE, class 2.3, subsidiary risks 5.1 and 8, UN No. 2901 specifies Segregation as for class 5.1 but «SEPARATED FROM» class 7".

15.1.7 In the case of segregation from combustible material this should be understood not to include packaging materials or dunnage.

15.1.8 Whenever dangerous goods are stowed together whether or not in a cargo transport unit the segregation of such dangerous goods from others should always be in accordance with the most stringent requirements for any of the dangerous goods concerned.

15.1.9 For the purposes of 15.1.6.1 the segregation requirements corresponding to a subsidiary risk label of are those for division 1.3.

15.1.10 Notwithstanding 15.1.6.1, 15.1.6.2 and 15.1.13, substances of the same class may be stowed together without regard to segregation required by secondary hazards (subsidiary risk label (s)), provided the substances do not react dangerously with each other and cause.

1 combustion and/or evolution of considerable heat, 2 evolution of flammable, toxic or asphyxiant gases, 3 the formation of corrosive substances; or 4 the formation of unstable substances. 15.1.11 Where the individual schedule specifies that "Segregation as for class " applies, the segregation requirements

applicable to that class in table 15.1.17 should be applied However, for the purposes of interpreting paragraph 15.1.10 which permits substances of the same class to be stowed together provided they do not react dangerously with each other, the segregation requirements of the class as represented by the primary hazard class in the indi-vidual schedule should be applied

For example UN No. 2965 - BORON TRIFLUORIDE DIMETHYL ETHERATE, Class 4.3 The schedule specifies "Segregation as for class 3, but ' away from' classes 3, 4.1 and 8"

For the purposes of establishing the segregation requirements applicable in table 15.1.17, the class 3 column should be consulted

17.2 Applicability

17.2.1 The provisions of this section should apply to the loading and unloading of dangerous goods by means of vehicles, containers and other cargo transport units via ramps, etc. and to the loading and unloading of units by means of fork-lift trucks, cranes etc.

17.3 Definitions

17.3.1 For the purposes of this section, unit means any vehicle, container, tank intermediate bulk container (IBC), unit load or receptacle which is loaded and unloaded separately as one piece*.

17.3.2 Vehicle means any road freight or tank vehicle or railway freight or tank wagon permanently attached to an under frame and wheels or chassis and wheels, which is loaded and unloaded as a unit It also includes a trailer, semi-trailer or similar mobile unit, except those used solely for the purposes of loading and unloading*.

17.3.3 For the purposes of this section, the term container includes a road or rail demountable container rigid or collapsible, having a net mass of more than 400 kg, a freight container , a demountable or portable tank a pressure vessel or any other receptacle having a capacity of 450 litres or more.

17.3.4 Closed type unit means a unit in which dangerous goods are totally enclosed by sufficiently strong boundaries such as a freight container , a tank or a vehicle Units with fabric sides or tops are not closed type units.

17.3.5 Ro-Ro ship (roll-on roll-off ship) means a ship which has one or more decks, either closed or open, not normally subdivided in any way and generally running the entire length of the ship, carrying goods which are normally loaded and unloaded in a horizontal direction.

17.3.6 Weather deck is a deck which is completely exposed to the weather from above and from at least two sides.

17.3.7 On Weather deck, for the purposes of this section, is equivalent to stowage "on deck" (see also appendix to section 14 of this General Introduction).

* For reasons of convenience, dangerous goods are generally referred to in this section as being loaded or packed into a unit or vehi-cle. Such references should be interpreted as including loading or packing on to a unit or vehicle, where the context so requires. The word "in", when used in relation to a unit or vehicle should be construed accordingly.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

19 CARRIAGE OF DANGEROUS GOODS IN SHIPBORNE BARGES ON BARGE-CARRYING SHIPS

19.1 General

19.1.1 Because of the structural differences of barge-carrying ships from conventional ships, this section contains alterna-tive and special or additional provisions for the transport of packaged dangerous goods or solid bulk materials pos-sessing chemical hazards on these ships.

19.2 Applicability

19.2.1 The provisions of this section are applicable to shipborne barges in which packaged dangerous goods or solid bulk materials possessing chemical hazards are carried while aboard barge-carrying ships or barge feeder vessels.

19.2.2 The provisions of this section are not intended to apply to shipborne barges designed for carriage aboard barge-carrying ships while the shipborne barges are operating independently of the barge-carrying ship.

19.2.3 Barges used for the shipborne carriage of packaged dangerous goods or solid bulk materials possessing chemical hazards should be of proper design and adequate strength to resist the stresses imposed by the conditions of the services in which they are employed and they should be adequately maintained. Shipborne barges should be ap-proved in accordance with requirements for certification of a recognized classification society, or any organization approved by and acting on behalf of the competent authority of the countries concerned.

19.2.4 Except as otherwise specified in this section, all the provisions laid down for each substance in this Code should apply to the carriage of packaged dangerous goods or solid bulk materials possessing chemical hazards in ship-borne barges on barge-carrying ships.

19.2.5 The provisions of this section apply only to shipborne barges of steel construction. Packaged dangerous goods or solid bulk materials possessing chemical hazards should only be carried in shipborne barges constructed of other materials, including the hatch covers, under conditions specified by the competent authority concerned.

19.3 Definitions

19.3.1 Shipborne barge or barge means, for the purposes of this section, an independent, non-self-propelled vessel, spe-cially designed and equipped to be lifted in a loaded condition and stowed aboard a barge-carrying ship or barge feeder vessel.

19.3.2 Barge-carrying ship means a ship specially designed and equipped to carry shipborne barges.

19.3.3 Barge feeder vessel means a vessel specially designed and equipped to transfer shipborne barges to or from a barge-carrying ship.

19.3.4 Loading and unloading means the placement or removal of cargo into or out of a shipborne barge.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

21 CONTROLLED TEMPERATURE REQUIREMENTS

21.1 Preamble

21.1.1 If the temperature of certain substances (e.g. organic peroxides and self-reactive and related substances) exceeds a value which is typical of the substance as packaged for transport, a self-accelerating decomposition, possibly of explosive violence, may result. To prevent such decomposition, it is necessary to control the temperature of the substance during transport. Other substances not requiring temperature control for safety reasons may be trans-ported under controlled temperature conditions for commercial reasons.

21.1.2 The requirements for the temperature control of certain specified substances are based on the assumption that the temperature in the immediate surroundings of the cargo does not exceed 55°C during transport and attains this value for a relatively short time only during each period of 24 hours.

21.1.3 If a substance which is not normally temperature-controlled is transported under conditions where the temperature may exceed 55°C, it may require temperature control; in such cases adequate measures should be taken.

21.2 Definitions

21.2.1 Control temperature is the maximum temperature at which certain substances (e.g. organic peroxides and self-reactive and related substances) can be safely transported during a prolonged period of time.

21.2.2 Emergency temperature is the temperature at which emergency procedures should be implemented.

21.2.3 Self-accelerating decomposition temperature (SADT)* is the lowest temperature at which self-accelerating decom-position may occur for a substance in the packaging as used in transport.

21.2.3.1 The relationship between SADT, the control temperature and the emergency temperature is as follows:

SADT Control temperature Emergency temperature 20°C or less 20°C below SADT 10°C below SADT over 20°C to 35°C 15°C below SADT 10°C below SADT over 35°C 10°C below SADT 5°C below SADT

21.3 General requirements

21.3.1 The substances for which a control temperature and an emergency temperature are indicated in the individual schedules should be transported under conditions of temperature control such that the temperature of the immedi-ate surroundings of the cargo does not exceed the control temperature.

* The self-accelerating decomposition temperature (SADT) should be determined in accordance with the latest version of the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Criteria. Test methods for determining flammability are given In Part III, section 32.4 of the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dan-gerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Criteria. Because organic peroxides may react vigorously when heated, it is recom-mended to determine their flashpoint using small sample sizes such as described in ISO 3679.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

21.3.2 The actual transport temperature may be lower than the control temperature but should be selected so as to avoid dangerous separation of phases.

21.3.3 If, during transport the control temperature is exceeded, an alerting procedure should be initiated involving either repair of the refrigeration machinery or an increase in the cooling capacity (e.g. by adding liquid or solid refrigerants). If an adequate cooling capacity is not restored, emergency procedures, including preparation for disposal of the cargo, together with temperature checks at frequent intervals, should be started.

21.4 Methods of temperature control.

21.4.1 The suitability of a particular means of temperature control for transport depends on a number of factors. Among those to be considered are:

1 the control temperature (s) of the substance (s) to be transported; 2 the difference between the control temperature and the anticipated ambient temperature conditions;

3 the effectiveness of the thermal insulation of the cargo transport unit. The overall heat-transfer coefficient should not be more than 0.4 W/m2* K for freight containers and 0.6 W/m2* K for tanks;

4 the duration of the voyage.

21.4.2 Suitable methods for preventing the control temperature from being exceeded are in order of increasing capability:

1 thermal insulation, provided that the initial temperature of the substance is sufficiently below the control tem-perature;

2 thermal insulation and coolant system, provided that:

2.1 an adequate quantity of non-flammable coolant (e.g. liquid nitrogen or solid carbon dioxide) allowing a reason-able margin for delay, is carried;

2.2 liquid oxygen or air is not used as coolant. 2.3 there is a uniform cooling effect even when most of the coolant has been consumed; and 2.4 the need to ventilate the transport unit before entering is clearly indicated by a warning on the door (s).

3 single mechanical refrigeration provided that the unit is thermally insulated and for substances with a flashpoint lower than the sum of the emergency temperature plus 5°C explosion-proof electrical fittings are used within the coolant compartment to prevent ignition of flammable vapours from the substances;

4 combined mechanical refrigeration system and coolant system, provided that: 4.1 the two systems are independent of one another; and 4.2 the requirements of 21.4.2.2 and 21.4.2.3 are met. 5 dual mechanical refrigeration system, provided that:

5.1 apart from the integral power supply unit, the two systems are independent of one another;

5.2 each system alone is capable of maintaining adequate temperature control; and

5.3 for substances with a flashpoint lower than the sum of the emergency temperature plus 5°C explosion proof electrical fittings are used within the coolant compartment to prevent ignition of flammable vapours from the substances.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

23 MARINE POLLUTANTS

23.1 General

23.1.1 Marine pollutants should be carried under the provisions of Annex III as amended of the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships 1973 as modified by the Protocol of 1978 relating thereto (MARPOL 73/78). These substances materials or articles are identified in the individual schedules as MARINE POLLUTANT. When a substance material or are tide is suspected to possess properties that may meet the definition of a marine pollutant or severe marine pollutant but is not identified in this Code such substance material or article may be transported as a marine pollutant or severe marine pollutant in accordance with this section. All relevant data should be submitted to GESAMP* as appropriate.

23.1.2 Substances articles or materials that are identified as marine pollutants but do not possess any other hazard are listed in the appendices to the schedules for ENVIRONMENTALLY HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE SOLID N.O.S. UN No. 3077 or ENVIRONMENTALLY HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE LIQUID N.O.S. UN No. 3082 in class 9. These appendi-ces do not list the solutions mixtures and isomers referred to in 23.2.3 and 23.2.4

23.1.3 Certain marine pollutants have an extreme pollution potential** and are identified as severe marine pollutants in the individual schedules.

23.1.4 Certain marine pollutants or severe marine pollutants are identified only in the General Index with an assignment to an appropriate N.O.S or generic entry of classes 1 to 8 although they are not listed in those schedules.

23.1.5 Certain other marine pollutants or severe marine pollutants are identified only in the General Index. These marine pollutants or severe marine pollutants have not been assigned to an N.O.S or generic entry. These marine pollutants or severe marine pollutants may possess properties of classes 1 to 8 and should be classified accordingly. A sub-stance which does not fall within the criteria of these classes should be offered for transport as an ENVIRONMEN-TALLY HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE SOLID N.O.S. UN No. 3077 or as an ENVIRONMENTALLY HAZARDOUS SUB-STANCE LIQUID N.O.S. UN No. 3082 under these entries in class 9.

23.1.6 With the approval of the competent authority substances materials or articles that are identified as marine pollutants in this Code, but which on the basis of a revised GESAMP hazard profile no longer meet the criteria for designation, as a marine pollutant or a severe marine pollutant need not be transported in accordance with the provisions of this Code applicable to marine pollutants.

* Reference is made to the IMO/FAO/UNESCO-IOC/WMO/WHO/IAEA/UN/UNEP Joint Group of Experts on the Scientific Aspects of Marine Environmental Protection. ** A substance is regarded to have an extreme pollution potential if it

- is bioaccumulated to a significant extent and known to produce a hazard to aquatic life or human health (Hazard Rating + in column A) and is highly toxic to aquatic life (Hazard Rating 4 in column B) or has particularly high toxicity to aquatic life as defined by LC50/96 hour of 0.01 ppm or less.

Refer to the guidelines for the identification of harmful substances in packaged form contained in the appendix to Annex III of MARPOL 73/78 as amended and reproduced in section 23.8 of this General Introduction.

Page 135: IMDG1998

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

26.1.5.3 Conformity to design type. 26.1.5.3.1 The marking indicates that the IBCs correspond to a successfully tested design type and that the requirements

referred to in the certificate have been met. 26.1.6 Operational requirements 26.1.6.1 Before being filled and handed over for transport every IBC should be inspected to ensure, that it is free from

corrosion contamination or other damage, with particular regard to the proper functioning of any service equip-ment. Any IBC which shows signs of reduced strength as compared with the tested design type should no longer be used or should be so repaired that it is able to withstand the design type tests.

26.1.6.2 When filling IBCs with liquids sufficient ullage should be left to ensure that, at the mean bulk temperature of 50°C, the IBC is not filled to more than 98% of its water capacity.

Note: For a differing temperature the maximum degree of filling can be determined as follows:

Degree of filling = )tα(501

98F−+

per cent of the capacity of the IBC.

In this formula α represents the mean coefficient of cubic expansion of the liquid substance between 15°C and 50°C, that is to say, for a maximum rise in the temperature of 35°C, α is calculated according to the formula:

50

5015

d35ddα

×−= ,

where

d15 and d50 are the relative densities of the liquid at 15°C and 50°C and tf is the mean temperature of the liquid at the time of filling.

26.1.6.3 Where two or more closure systems are fitted in series, that nearest to the substance being transported should be closed first.

26.1.6.4 During transport, no dangerous residue should adhere to the outside of an IBC.

26.1.6.5 Empty uncleaned IBCs which have been used previously for the transport of dangerous substances should be subject to the requirements of this section for filled IBCs unless adequate measures have been taken to nullify any hazard.

26.1.6.6 When IBCs are used for the transport of liquids with a flashpoint of 61°C c.c. or lower or of powders liable to dust explosion measures should be taken to prevent a dangerous electrostatic discharge.

26.1.6.7 IBCs used for solids which may become liquid at temperatures likely to be encountered during transport should also be capable of containing the substance in the liquid state.

26.1.6.8 The periodic testing and inspection requirements for IBCs are provided in 26.2, 26.4 and 26.5. An IBC should not be filled and offered for transport after the date of expiry of the last periodic test required by 26.2.6, 26.4.6 or 26.5.6, or the date of expiry of the last periodic inspection required by 26.2.7, 26.4.7 or 26.5.7.

However, an IBC filled prior to the date of expiry of the last periodic test or inspection may be transported for a period not to exceed three months beyond the date of expiry of the last periodic test or inspection.

IMDG CODE - PAGE 0176 Amdt. 29-98

Page 136: IMDG1998

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

In addition an IBC may be transported after the date of expiry of the last periodic test or inspection:

1 after emptying but before cleaning for purposes of performing the required test or inspection prior to refill-ing; and

2 unless otherwise approved by the competent authority for a period not to exceed six months beyond the date of expiry of the last periodic test or inspection in order to allow the return of dangerous goods for proper disposal or recycling Reference to this exemption should be entered on the transport document.

26.1.7 Marking and labelling

26.1.8 Stowage

26.1.8.1 IBCs should be stowed in accordance with section 14 of this General Introduction and with any requirements in this respect as included in the individual schedules of the substances to be transported.

26.1.8.2 During transport the IBCs should be securely fastened to or contained within the cargo transport unit so that lateral or longitudinal movement or impact is prevented and adequate external support is provided

26.1.9 Segregation

26.1.9.1 IBCs containing dangerous substances should be segregated in accordance with the requirements for the segre-gation of packages of section 15 of this General Introduction.

26.1.10 Special requirements relating to IBCs for the transport of organic peroxides (class 5.2)

26.1.10.1 Each organic peroxide should have been tested and a report made available indicating that transport in IBCs would be safe. The conditions for this transport should be specifically designated by the competent authority of the country of origin. A notification including the report should be sent to the competent authority of the country of destination. The tests undertaken should include those necessary:

.1 to prove that the organic peroxide complies with the principles for classification given in 3.3.6 of the intro-duction to class 5.2;

.2 to prove the compatibility of all materials normally in contact with the substance during transport;

.3 to determine when applicable the control and emergency temperatures derived from the SADT (Self Ac-celerating Decomposition Temperature see section 2.1 of this General Introduction). These temperatures may be lower than those indicated for packages in the appendix to the individual schedules; and

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

.4 to design, when applicable, pressure and emergency relief devices; and any special requirements neces-sary for the safe transport of the organic peroxide.

26.1.10.2 Emergencies to be taken into account are self-accelerating decomposition of the organic peroxide and fire en-gulfment.

26.1.10.3 To prevent explosive rupture of metal IBCs or composite IBCs with a complete metal casing, the emergency-relief devices should be designed to vent all the decomposition products and vapours evolved during self-accelerating decomposition or during a period of not less than one hour of complete fire engulfment calculated by the equa-tions given in 13.1.55.8.

26.1.10.4 IBCs should be transported in a closed cargo transport unit.

26.1.10.5 Organic peroxides suitable for transport in IBCs are identified in the appendices to the individual class 5.2 sched-ules for UN Nos. 3109 and 3119, and in appendix 1 to this section together with the special requirements applica-ble for their transport.

26.1.11 Special requirements relating to IBCs for the transport of self-reactive substances of class 4.1

26.1.11.1 Self-reactive substances of class 4.1 should have been tested and a report made available indicating that the transport in IBCs would be safe. The conditions for transport should be specified by the competent authority of the country of origin. The tests undertaken should include those necessary:

.1 to prove that the self-reactive substance complies with the principles for classification given in 2.2.10.6 of the introduction to class 4.1;

.2 to prove the compatibility of all materials normally in contact with the substance;

.3 to determine the control and emergency temperatures, if required, for transport of the substance in the IBC concerned, as derived from the self-accelerating decomposition temperature;

.4 to determine, when applicable, types of emergency pressure-relief devices; and

.5 to determine if any special requirements are necessary.

26.1.11.2 Emergencies to be taken into account are the ability to ignite easily from external sources such as sparks and flames and the likelihood of a strongly exothermic reaction caused by excessively high transport temperatures or by contamination.

26.1.11.3 To prevent explosive rupture of metal IBCs or composite IBCs with complete metal casing, the emergency pres-sure-relief devices should be designed to vent all the decomposition products and vapours evolved during self-accelerating decomposition or during a period of not toss than one hour of fire engulfment calculated by the equa-tions given in 13.1, 55.8.

26.1.11.4 Self-reactive substances transported in IBCs with an SADT less than 55°C have to be subjected to the tempera-ture control requirements given in section 21 of this General Introduction.

26.1.11.5 IBCs should be transported in a closed cargo transport unit.

26.1.11.6 Self-reactive substances suitable for transport in IBCs are identified in the appendices to the individual class 4.1 schedules, together with the special requirements, if any, applicable to their transport.

IMDG CODE - PAGE 0179 Amdt. 29-98

Page 139: IMDG1998

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

26.2.3.2 Care should be taken to avoid damage by galvanic action due to the juxtaposition of dissimilar metals.

26.2.3.3 Aluminium IBCs intended for the transport of flammable liquids should have no movable parts such as covers closures, etc., made of unprotected steel liable to rust which might cause a dangerous reaction by coming into frictional or percussive contact with the aluminium.

26.2.3.4 Metal IBCs should be made of metals which meet the following requirements:

1 For steel, the elongation at fracture, in per cent, should not be less than 10 000/Rm , with an absolute mini-mum of 20%,

where Rm = guaranteed minimum tensile strength of the reference steel to be used, in N/mm2.

2 For aluminium and aluminium alloys, the elongation at fracture in per cent, should not be less than 10 000/6Rm , with an absolute minimum of 8%.

Specimens used to determine the elongation at fracture should be taken transversely to the direction of rolling and be so secured that:

Liquid substances carried in composite IBCs with flexible inner receptacles (31HA2 and 31HH2) should always be transported in closed cargo transport units.

Special requirements

1 Allowed only if the vapour pressure does not exceed 110 kPa at 50°C or 130 kPa at 55°C. 2 Substances falling under packaging group I criteria not allowed. 3 Substances falling under packaging group III criteria only. 4 Hermetically sealed as defined in 10.9.1 of this General Introduction and in the introductions to the various classes. 5 Only with competent authority approval. 6 IBCs to be provided with a device or vent to allow venting during transport and to be stowed with the vent uppermost. 7 No bottom openings allowed. 8 Only for substances with a flashpoint of 0°C c.c. or above and with competent authority approval. 9 Accessible stowage of closed cargo transport units; see 21.4.3 of this General Introduction. 10 Only type 31HA1 is allowed. 11 To prevent the IBC bursting in any event, including fire engulfment, it should be provided with pressure-relief devices

which are adequate in relation to the capacity of the IBC and the nature of the substance carried. The device should also be compatible with the substance.

12 Control temperature+ 30°C; emergency temperature+ 35°C. The temperature indicated is based on a non-insulated IBC.

13 Control temperature+ 10°C; emergency temperature + 15°C. The temperature indicated is based on a non-insulated IBC.

14 Control temperature+ 15°C; emergency temperature+ 25°C. The temperature indicated is based on a non-insulated IBC.

15 Maximum capacity 1000 litres. 16 Maximum capacity 1250 litres. 17 Maximum capacity 1500 litres. 18 When consigning an organic peroxide in an IBC in accordance with these requirements, it is the responsibility of the

consignor to ensure that: .1 the pressure and emergency relief devices installed on the IBC are designed to take appropriate account of the self-

accelerating decomposition of the organic peroxide and of fire engulfment; and .2 when applicable, the control and emergency temperatures indicated are appropriate, taking into account the design

(e.g. insulation) of the IBC to be used.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

General requirements For packaging group I solids Secondary protection is required for all IBCs except composite IBCs, which should be carried in closed cargo transport units. Secondary protection may be effected by placing the IBCs into freight containers or vehicles, which should have rigid sides or fencing at least to the height of the IBCs.

For packaging group II solids

Secondary protection should be provided for packaging group II solid substances and materials carried in flexible fibre-board composite or wooden IBCs.

Special requirements

1 Only packed in closed cargo transport units;

2 Substances falling under packaging group I criteria not allowed;

3 Only flexible IBCs or fibreboard IBCs fitted with a sift proof liner unless the IBC itself is made fully sift proof such as by application of a coating to the body of the IBC use of welded seams and sift proof closures etc.;

4 If textile IBCs are used only those with inner coating or inner liner should be used;

5 Hermetically sealed as defined in 10.9.1 of this General Introduction and in the introductions to the various classes;

6 Substances falling under packaging groups I or II criteria should be provided with secondary protection; 7 Only with competent authority approval;

8 Sift proof water resistant flexible fibreboard or wooden IBCs packed in closed cargo transport units;

9 Flexible fibreboard or wooden IBCs are intended for the transport of solids only and they should not be used when the contents are likely to melt or become liquid during the intended voyage;

10 Only water resistant flexible fibreboard or wooden IBCs;

11 May be transported without secondary protection subject to special requirements agreed between the competent authority of the country of loading and the flag State administration;

12 IBCs should be equipped with a self sealing venting device approved by the competent authority; 13 Substances falling under packaging group III criteria only; 14 Only water resistant wooden IBCs fitted with a sift proof liner; 15 Accessible stowage of closed cargo transport units see 21.4.3 of this General Introduction;

16 For packaging group I solid substances composite IBCs fitted with a flexible plastics inner receptacle (11HZ2 and 21HZ2) are not permitted;

17 Only 13H2,13H3,13H4,13L2,13L3 and 13L4 are permitted;

18 This is a wooden IBC containing a hermetically sealed flexible IBC with a liner. This flexible IBC should be approved in accordance with the requirements of 26.1 and 26.3. The assembled IBC should meet the standards of a compos-ite IBC and should be approved by the competent authority.

ANNEX

Packagings are receptacles and any other components or materials necessary for the receptacle to perform its contain-ment function.

Receptacles are containment vessels for receiving and holding substances or articles including any means of closing.

Reconditioned packagings include:

(a) metal drums, that 1 are cleaned to original materials of construction with all former contents, internal and external corrosion and external

coatings and labels removed; 2 are restored to original shape and contour with chimes (if any) straightened and sealed and all non-integral gaskets

replaced; and 3 are inspected after cleaning but before painting with rejection of packagings with visible pitting significant reduction in

material thickness metal fatigue, damaged threads or closures, or other significant defects.

(b) plastics drums and jerricans, that 1 are cleaned to original materials of construction, with all former contents, external coating and labels removed; 2 have all non-integral gaskets replaced; and 3 are inspected after cleaning with rejection of packagings with visible damage such as tears creases or cracks, or dam-

aged threads or closures.

Recycled plastics material means material recovered from used industrial packagings that has been cleaned and prepared for processing into new packagings. The specific properties of the recycled material used for production of new packagings should be assured and documented regularly as part of a quality assurance programme recognized by the competent authority. The quality assurance programme should include a record of proper pre-sorting and verification, that each batch or recycled plastics material has the proper melt flow rate, density and tensile yield strength, consistent with that of the design type manufactured from such recycled material. This necessarily includes knowledge about the packaging material from which the recycled plastics have been derived, as well as awareness of the prior contents of those packagings, if those prior contents might reduce the capability of new packagings produced using that material In addition, the packaging manufacturer's quality assurance programme under 3.15 should include performance of the mechanical design type test in section 8 of this Annex on packagings manufactured from each batch of recycled plastics material. In this testing stacking performance may be verified by appropriate dynamic compression testing rather than static load testing. Remanufactured packagings include:

(a) metal drums, that:

1 are produced as a UN type from a non UN type; 2 are converted from one UN type to another UN type; or 3 undergo the replacement of integral structural components (such as non-removable heads).

IMDG CODE - PAGE 0508 (page 0508a follows) Amdt. 29-98

Page 181: IMDG1998

ANNEX I

(b) plastics drums, that: .1 are converted from one UN type to another UN type (e.g. 1H1 to 1H2), or

.2 undergo the replacement of integral structural components.

Remanufactured drums are subject to the same requirements of this Annex as those that apply to a new drum of the same type.

Reused packagings are packagings to be refilled which have been examined and found free of defects affecting their ability to withstand the performance tests the term includes those, which are refilled with the same or similar compatible contents and are transported within distribution chains controlled by the consignor of the product. Salvage packagings are special packagings conforming to the applicable requirements of this Annex, into which, damaged, defective or leaking dangerous goods packages, or dangerous goods that have spilled or leaked are placed, for the purposes of transport, recovery or disposal.

Siftproof packagings are packagings impermeable to dry contents, including fine solid material produced during transport.

Wooden barrels are packagings made of natural wood, of round cross-section, having convex walls, consisting of staves and heads and fitted with hoops. The following explanations and examples are meant to assist in clarifying the use of the terms defined in 2.1 The definitions in 2.1 are consistent with the use of the defined terms throughout this Annex. However, other parts of this Code currently use some of the defined terms in other ways. This is particularly evident in respect of the term "inner receptacle", which is often used to describe the "inners" of a combination packaging.

In this Annex the "inners" of "combination packagings” are always termed “inner packagings", not "inner recepta-cles". A glass carboy is an example of such an "inner packaging".

Page 183: IMDG1998

ANNEX I

2.2.3 In this Annex the inners of composite packagings are 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.

3 GENERAL PACKING REQUIREMENTS

3.1 Dangerous goods should be packaged in packagings of good quality which should be constructed and closed so as to prevent the package as prepared for transport from any leakage, which might be caused by vibration or by changes in temperature, humidity or pressure. No harmful quantity of a dangerous substance should adhere to the outside of a package. These provisions apply both to new and to reused packagings.

3.2 Parts of packagings which are in direct contact with dangerous substances should not be affected by chemical or other action of those substances. Where necessary they should be provided with a suitable inner coating or treat-ment. Such parts of packagings should not incorporate constituents liable to react dangerously with the contents so as to form hazardous products or to weaken them significantly.

3.3 Each packaging except inner packagings of combination packagings should conform to a design type successfully tested in accordance with the requirements laid down in section 8.

3.4 When filling packagings with liquids* sufficient ullage (outage) should be left to ensure that neither leakage nor per-manent distortion of the packaging occurs as a result of an expansion of the liquid caused by temperatures likely to occur during transport. Unless specific requirements are prescribed in national or international rules agreements or recommendations liquids should not completely fill a packaging at a temperature of 55°C.

3.5 Inner packagings should be packaged in an outer packaging in such a way that under normal conditions of transport they cannot break be punctured or leak their contents into the outer packaging Inner packagings that are liable to break or be punctured easily such as those made of glass porcelain or stoneware or of certain plastics materials etc should be secured in outer packagings with suitable cushioning material Any leakage of the contents should not substantially impair the protective properties of the cushioning material or of the outer packaging.

3.6 Dangerous goods should not be packed together in the same outer packaging with dangerous or other goods if they react dangerously with each other and cause

1. combustion and/or evolution of considerable heat;

2. evolution of flammable poisonous or asphyxiant gases;

3. the formation of corrosive substances; or

4. the formation of unstable substances.

* With respect to ullage limits only viscous substances with an outflow time via a DIN cup with a 4 mm diameter outlet exceeding 10 minutes at 20°C (corresponding to an outflow time via a Ford cup 4 of more than 690 seconds at 20°C or to a viscosity of more than 2.680 cent stokes at 20°C) should be subject to the provisions applicable for packagings destined for solid substances.

ANNEX I

7.3.3 Openings in jerricans (3A1 and 3B1) should not exceed 7 cm in diameter Jerricans with larger openings are con-

sidered to be of the removable head type (3A2 and 3B2). Closures should be so designed that they will remain secure and leakproof under normal conditions of transport. Gaskets or other sealing elements should be used with closures unless the closure is inherently leakproof.

7.3.4 If materials used for body heads, closures and fittings are not in themselves compatible with the contents to be transported, suitable internal protective coatings or treatments should be applied. These coatings or treatments should retain their protective properties under normal conditions of transport.

7.3.5 Maximum capacity of jerrican 60 litres.

Page 186: IMDG1998

ANNEX I

(b) not less than 1.75 times the vapour pressure at 50°C of the substance to be transported minus 100 kPa, but with a minimum test pressure of 100 kPa;

(c) not less than 1.5 times the vapour pressure at 55°C of the substance to be transported minus 100 kPa but with a minimum test pressure of 100 kPa.

8.6.5 In addition packagings intended to contain substances of packaging group I should be tested to a minimum test pressure of 250 kPa (gauge) for a test period of 5 or 30 minutes depending upon the material of construction of the packaging.

8.6.6 Criterion for passing the test no packaging should leak.

8.7 Stacking test

All design types of packagings other than bags should be subjected to a stacking test.

8.7.1 Number of test samples three test samples per design type and manufacturer.

8.7.2 Test method the test sample should be subjected to a force applied to the top surface of the test sample equiva-lent to the total weight of identical packages, which might be stacked on it during transport where the contents of the test sample are non-dangerous liquids with relative density different from that of the liquid to be transported the force should be calculated in relation to the latter. The minimum height of the stack including the test sample should be 3 metres. The duration of the test should be 24 hours except that plastics drums, jerricans, and com-posite packagings 6HH1 and 6HH2 intended for liquids should be subjected to the stacking test for a period of 28 days at a temperature of not less than 40°C.

8.7.3 Criteria for passing the test no test sample should leak In composite packagings or combination packagings there should be no leakage of the filling substance from the inner receptacle or inner packaging. No test sample should show any deterioration which could adversely affect transport safety or any distortion liable to reduce its strength or cause instability in stacks of packages. Plastics packagings should be cooled to ambient temperature before the assessment.

8.8 Cooperage test for bung-type wooden barrels

8.8.1 Number of samples one barrel.

8.9 Test report

8.9.1 A test report containing at least the following particulars should be drawn up and should be available to the users of the packaging.

1 name and address of the test facility;

IMDG CODE - PAGE 0538 Amdt 29-98

Page 187: IMDG1998

ANNEX I

2 name and address of the applicant (where applicable); 3 a unique test report identification;

4 date of the test report;

5 manufacturer of the packaging;

6 description of the packaging design type (e.g. dimensions materials, closures, thickness, etc.) including method of manufacture (e.g. blow moulding) and which may include drawing(s) and/or photograph(s);

7 maximum capacity;

8 characteristics of test contents, e.g., viscosity and relative density for liquids and particle size for solids;

9 test descriptions and results;

10 signature, with the name and status of the signatory.

8.9.2 The test report should contain statements that the packaging prepared as for transport was tested in accordance with the appropriate provisions of Annex I to the IMDG Code and that the use of other packaging methods or components may render it invalid. A copy of the test report should be available to the competent authority.

8.10 Leakproofness test for aerosol dispensers and small receptacles for gas. 8.10.1 Each receptacle should be subjected to a test performed in a hot water bath. The temperature of the bath and

the duration of the test should be such that the internal pressure reaches that which would be reached at 55°C (50°C if the liquid phase does not exceed 95% of the capacity of the receptacle at 50°C). If the contents are sensitive to heat or if the receptacles are made of plastics material which softens at this test temperature, the temperature of the bath should be set at between 20°C and 30°C but in addition one receptacle in 2.000 should be tested at the higher temperature.

8.10.2 No leakage or permanent deformation of a receptacle should occur, except that a plastics receptacle may be deformed through softening provided that it does not leak.

CLASS 1 - E x p l o s i v e s

3.2 Introduction 3.2.1 All packagings for goods should be so designed and constructed that:

1. they will protect the explosives prevent them escaping and cause no increase in the risk of unin-tended ignition or initiation when subjected to normal conditions of transport including foreseeable changes in temperature humidity and pressure;

2. the complete package can be handled safely in normal conditions of transport; and

3. the packages will withstand any loading imposed on them by foreseeable stacking to which they will be subject during transport so that:

they do not add to the risk presented by the explosives; the containment function of the packagings is not harmed; and

they are not distorted in a way or to an extent which will reduce their strength or cause instability of the stack.

3.2.2 Packing requirements for consist of general packing provisions which apply to all or a broad spectrum of goods in and additional requirements which only apply to specific UN (substance/article identification) Numbers. The general packing provisions are given in section 3.3 and the relevant additional requirements appear as notes to the explosive packing method tables which are found in section 3.4 of this introduction.

3.3 General packing provisions

3.3.1 The general provisions given below are in addition to those in Annex I of the General Introduction.

3.3.2 All explosive substances and articles as prepared for transport should have been classified in accordance with the procedures given in the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods.

3.3.3 goods should be packed in accordance with:

1 the appropriate packing method shown on the schedules for substances and articles in this class; and

2 any relevant additional requirements for specific UN Numbers which are given as notes in the packing method tables in section 3.4 of this introduction.

Note: In section 3.4 the following convention is used: Packing methods EP-01 to EP-09 - reserved for methods requiring competent authority approval. Packing methods EP-10 to EP-29 - reserved for explosive substances; and Packing methods EP-30 onwards - reserved for explosive articles.

3.3.4 Packages should conform to the requirements of Annex I of the General Introduction in particular to meeting the test requirements of section 8 and should be subject to the requirements of paragraphs 3.14 and 5.4. IBCs should comply with the provisions of section 26 of the General Introduction.

3.3.5 The closure device of packagings containing liquid explosives should ensure a double protection against leak-age.

3.3.6 The closure device of metal drums should include a suitable gasket if a closure device includes a screw thread the ingress of explosive substances into the screw thread should be prevented.

IMDG CODE - PAGE 1006-1 (page 1006-2 follows) Amdt. 28-96

Page 329: IMDG1998

CLASS 1 - E x p l o s i v e s

3.3.7 Packagings for water soluble substances should be water resistant. Packagings for desensitized or phlegmatized substances should be closed to prevent changes in concentration during transport.

3.3.8 When the packaging includes a double envelope filled with water which may freeze during transport, a sufficient quantity of an antifreeze agent should be added to the water to prevent freezing. Antifreeze that could create a fire hazard because of its inherent flammability should not be used.

3.3.9 Nails, staples and other closure devices made of metal without protective covering should not penetrate to the inside of the outer packaging unless the inner packaging adequately protects the explosives against contact with the metal.

3.3.10 Inner packagings, fittings and cushioning materials and the placing of explosive substances or articles in pack-ages should be accomplished in a manner which prevents the explosive substance or article from becoming loose in the outer packaging under normal conditions of transport. Metallic components of articles should be prevented from making contact with metal packagings. Articles containing explosive substances not enclosed in an outer casing should be separated from each other in order to prevent friction and impact. Padding, trays partitioning in the inner or outer packaging, mouldings or receptacles may be used for this purpose.

3.3.11 Packagings should be made of materials compatible with, and impermeable to, the explosives contained in the package, so that neither interaction between the explosives and the packaging materials, nor leakage, causes the explosive to become unsafe for transport, or the hazard division or compatibility group to change.

3.3.12 The ingress of explosive substances into the recesses of seamed metal packagings should be prevented.

3.3.13 Plastics packagings should not be liable to generate or accumulate sufficient static electricity so that a discharge could cause the packaged explosive substances or articles to initiate ignite or function.

3.3.14 Large and robust explosives articles, normally intended for military use without their means of initiation or with their means of initiation containing at least two effective protective features, may be carried unpacked. When such articles have propelling charges or are self propelled their ignition systems should be protected against stimuli encountered during normal conditions of transport. A negative result in Test Series 4 of the United Na-tions Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Criteria on an unpacked article indicates that the article can be considered for transport unpacked. Such unpacked articles may be fixed to cradles or contained in crates or other suitable handling, storage or launching devices in such a way that they will not become loose during normal conditions of transport.

3.3.14.1 Where, as part of their operational safety and suitability tests, such large explosive articles are subjected to test regimes which are at least equivalent or more stringent that the tests prescribed in the United Nations Recom-mendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Criteria, as referred to in this Code and such tests have been successfully undertaken the competent authority may approve the transport of such arti-cles under the requirements of this Code.

3.3.15 Explosive substances should not be packed in inner or outer packagings where the differences in internal and external pressures, due to thermal or other effects, could cause an explosion or rupture of the package.

IMDG CODE - PAGE 1006-2 (page 7006-3 follows) Amdt. 29-98

Page 330: IMDG1998

CLASS 1 - E x p l o s i v e s

3.3.16 Whenever loose explosive substances or the explosive substances of an uncased or partly cased article may come into contact with the inner surface of metal packagings (1A2, 1B2, 4A, 4B and metal receptacles) the metal packaging should be provided with an inner liner or coating (see 3.2 of Annex I to this code).

3.3.17 Notwithstanding the explosive packing methods listed in section 3.4 of this introduction EP-01 may be adopted for any explosive substance or article provided the package has been approved by a national competent authority. For the declaration of such goods see 2.5 of this introduction.

3.4 Packing methods for explosives

General Notes:

(1) Whenever Boxes natural wood ordinary (4C1) are listed in the following tables a Box natural wood sift proof walls (4C2) may be used instead;

(2) Leakproof packagings should correspond to a design type that has passed a leakproofness test at the Packag-ing Group II level;

(3) The term receptacle used in the inner and intermediate packaging columns of the following tables includes boxes bottles cans drums jars and tubes including any means of closure;

(4) Reels are devices made of plastics wood fibreboard metal or other suitable material comprising a central spin-dle with or without side walls at each end of the spindle Articles and substances can be wound onto the spindle and may be retained by side walls;

(5) Trays are sheets of metal plastics wood fibreboard or other suitable material which are placed in the inner intermediate or outer packaging and achieve a close fit in such packagings. The surface of the tray may be shaped so that packagings or articles can be inserted held secure and separated from each other;

(6) Some UN Numbers cover substances which may be transported dry or wetted. Where appropriate the heading of the packing method indicates whether it is suitable for the dry powder or wetted substance.

1.25 The substances are arranged in alphabetical order of proper shipping names within each flashpoint group, and commonly used synonyms have been included.

1.3 The vapours from all substances of class 3 have a narcotic effect, and prolonged inhalation may result in uncon-sciousness. Deep or prolonged narcosis may lead to death.

1.31 Some flammable liquids also have specific toxic or corrosive effects, and this has been indicated in the individual schedules where appropriate.

1.32 A number of flammable liquids have been identified as harmful to the marine environment (MARINE POLLUT-ANT), and this has been indicated in the individual schedules where appropriate.

1.4 Some substances in this class, under conditions incident to transport, are liable to polymerize (combine or react with themselves) so as to cause dangerous liberation of heat or gas, possibly resulting in rupture of the recepta-cle. These substances should not be transported unless they are properly inhibited.

1.5 Where explosive limits are given, these refer to the volume percentage of the vapour of the substance when mixed with air.

1.6 The ease and extent to which different liquids mix with water varies greatly and most individual schedules have included an indication of miscibility. In these cases "miscible with water" normally means capable of being mixed with water in all proportions to form a completely homogeneous liquid.

2 STANDARDIZATION OF THE FLASHPOINT TEST METHOD

2.1 Information in this respect will be found in section 6 of the General Introduction.

3 PACKING

3.1 Classification and grouping criteria.

3.1.1 Flammable liquids have for packing purposes been apportioned among three categories (packaging groups) according to the degree of danger they present great danger (packaging group I), medium danger (packaging group II) and minor danger (packaging group III). The packaging group to which a substance is assigned is given in its individual schedule.

IMDG CODE - PAGE 3003 Amdt. 27-94

Page 352: IMDG1998

CLASS 3 – F l a m m a b l e l i q u i d s

3.1.2 The packaging group of a flammable liquid for which no specific packaging group is given in the individual sched-ule should be assigned in accordance with the following table. However, if the liquid possesses more than one hazard the packaging group should be determined in accordance with subsection 5.2 of the General Introduction.

Hazard grouping based on flammability

Flammable liquids are grouped for packing purposes according to their flashpoint their boiling point and their viscosity. The table shows the relationship existing between two of these characteristics.

Packaging group Flashpoint in °C closed cup (c.c. ) Initial boiling point in °C

| - ≤35 II <23 >35 III >23 to ≤61 >35

Viscous substances having a flashpoint below 23° C c.c. may be placed in packaging group III in conformity with 3.1.3 and 3.1.4.

Substances classified as flammable liquids due to their being transported or offered for transport at elevated temperatures are included in packaging group III.

3.1.3 Determination of grouping of flammable viscous substances with a flashpoint of less than 23° C c.c.

The packaging group of paints adhesives and other viscous flammable liquids with a flashpoint of less than 23° C c.c. is determined by reference to:

1 the viscosity expressed as the flow time in seconds (refer to ISO standard 2431-84); 2 the closed cup flashpoint; and 3 a solvent separation test.

3.1.4 Criteria for inclusion in packaging group III

Viscous flammable liquids such as paints and adhesives with a flashpoint below 23° C c.c. are included in pack-aging group III provided that:

1 less than 3% of the clear solvent layer separates in the solvent separation test;

2 the mixture does not contain any substances with a primary or a subsidiary risk of class 6.1 or class 8.

CLASS 3 – F l a m m a b l e l i q u i d s

3.3.1.1 Glass receptacles packaged in an outer packaging should be surrounded by inert cushioning material so arranged as to prevent breakage and leakage from the package. For substances in class 3.1 this cushioning material should also be absorbent. This is not necessary if close-fitting parts of expanded plastics are used as cushioning material and the requirements of the second sentence of 3.3.1.5 are met when appropriate.

3.3.1.2 Where glass is permitted, it should be understood to include earthenware, porcelain and other comparable mate-rials unless stipulated otherwise.

3.3.1.3 Where glass or plastics receptacles are permitted it should be understood that glass or plastics bottles or jars are included.

3.3.1.4 Where wooden boxes are permitted as outer packaging it should be understood that boxes of natural wood (4C1, 4C2), plywood boxes (4D) and reconstituted wood boxes (4F) are included.

3.3.1.5 Moulded expanded plastics boxes (4H1) should be constructed of a fire-resistant grade of plastics material. When the contents are not compatible with the outer packaging, each glass bottle should be enclosed in a bag made of plastics material compatible with the contents and the bag should be effectively closed.

3.3.1.6 Where for substances in the intermediate and high flashpoint groups, packaging groups I or II fibreboard boxes are specified a fibreboard box reinforced by wood or other suitable material with a maximum gross mass of 55 kg may be used provided that it is water-resistant and compatible with the substance to be carried.

3.3.2 A cylinder of the kind normally used for compressed gases, approved by the competent authority of the country concerned and with suitable valve protection may be used to contain any flammable liquid, provided that this liquid is compatible with the material of construction.

3.3.3 Removable head packagings should not be used for the transport of liquids except that steel and aluminium re-movable head drums or jerricans may be used for liquids in packaging groups II and III, when these packagings successfully pass the test for liquids.

3.3.4 Viscous flammable liquids in the low or intermediate flashpoint groups are included in packaging group III if they meet the criteria in 3.1.4. In such cases, packagings indicated in the table for liquids in the high flashpoint group, packaging group III, may be used.

Label of class

4.2

UN No. Formula 2793

Properties These cargoes are liable to self-heating and to ignite spontaneously, particularly when in a finely divided form, wet or contaminated with such materials as unsaturated cutting oil, oily rags and other combus-tible matter. Self-heating or inadequate ventilation may cause danger-ous depletion of oxygen in the stowage spaces.

Observations Excessive amounts of cast iron borings or organic materials may en-courage heating. The swarf should be protected from moisture prior to and after loading. If, during loading, the weather is inclement hatches should be closed and otherwise protected to keep the material dry. The packaging performance tests referred to in sections 10 and 26 of the General Introduction and in Annex I to this Code should not apply to this substance due to its low degree of danger. The provisions of this Code should not apply to consignments of this substance which are accompanied by a declaration of the shipper stating that it has no self-heating properties.

Packing Any sift-proof, tear-proof receptacle. For IBCs see section 26 of the General Introduction. For carriage in bulk packagings (freight containers road or rail vehi-cles) or portable tanks, see section 25 of the General Introduction. For carriage in bulk (including shipborne barges) see the Code of Safe Practice for Solid Bulk Cargoes.

Stowage

Category A. Notes: (1) Prior to loading, temperature of the swarf should not exceed 55°C. Wooden

sweat battens, dunnage and debris should be removed from the hold be-fore the swarf is loaded;

(2) Surface temperature of the swarf should be taken prior to, during and after loading and daily during the voyage. If the surface temperature exceeds 90°C during loading, further loading should cease and should not recom-mence until the temperature has fallen to at least 85°C. The vessel should not sail on an international voyage unless the temperature is below 65°C, and has shown a steady or downward trend in temperature for at least eight hours. During loading and carriage, the bilge of each hold in which the swarf is stowed should be as dry as practicable. During loading, the swarf should be compacted in the hold as frequently as practicable with a bull-dozer or by other means. After loading, the swarf should be trimmed to eliminate peaks and should be compacted;

(3) Whilst at sea, any rise in surface temperature of the swarf indicates a self-heating reaction problem. If the temperature should rise to 80°C, a potential fire situation is developing and the vessel should make for the nearest suit-able port. Water should not be used at sea. Early application of an inert gas to a smouldering situation may be effective In port, copious quantities of wa-ter may be used but due consideration should be given to stability;

(4) Entry into cargo spaces containing swarf should only be made with the main hatches open or when using breathing apparatus.

(1) До погрузки, температура металлической стружки не должна превысить 55 C. Деревянные доски, прокладочный и подстилочный материал и остатки органических веществ должны быть удалены из трюма до погрузки стужки; (2) Температура стружки должна замеряться до, в течение и после погрузки и ежедневно в течение рейса. Если поверхностная температура превышает 90 C в течение погрузки, далее погрузка должна быть прекращена и не должна возобновляться, пока температура не упадет по крайней мере до 85 C. Судно не должно выходить в рейс до тех пор, пока температура не будет ниже 65 C, и будет показывать устойчивый или нисходящий тренд по крайней мере восемь часов. В течение погрузки и транспортировки, колодцы трюмов, в которые металлическая стружка погружена, должены быть как можно сухими. В течение погрузки, металлическая стружка должна уплотняться бульдозером или другими средствами так часто как возможно . После погрузки, стружка должна быть разравнена и уплотнена. (3), В море, любое повышение поверхностной температуры металлической стружки говорит о реакции само-нагревания. Если температура повысилась до 80 C, ситуация возникновения пожара развивается, и судно должно идти в ближайший порт. Вода не должна использоваться в море. Раннее применение инертного газа может быть эффективно при развитии ситуации тления. В порту, обильное количество воды может использоваться, но стабильность судна должна приниматься во внимание; (4) Вход в грузовые помещения, содержащие металлическую стружку разрешается только при открытых крышках трюмов или при использовании дыхательного аппарата.

6.1

UN No. Formula 1408

Properties In contact with moisture water alkalis or acids may evolve hydrogen a flammable gas which may form explosive mixtures with air and also arsine and phosphine which are highly toxic gases. These gases are evolved in proportions which under mechanically ventilated conditions make the poison hazard by far predominant over the explosion haz-ard. The rate of gas evolution is greatest from freshly broken surfaces so is liable to increase whenever the cargo is disturbed e.g. during loading.

Observations Toxic if swallowed by skin contact or by vapour inhalation. Requires a certificate from maker or shipper stating the percentage of silicon and that after manufacture the shipment was stored under cover but in the open air, in the particle size in which it is to be shipped for not less than 3 days prior to shipment. The provisions of this Code should not apply to a consignment of ferrosilicon carried in packaged form if it passes the test for class 4.3, as reflected in the United Nations Rec-ommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Criteria Part III - 33.4.1.4 and is accompanied by an appro-priate certificate stating that the product was correctly tested and has passed the test. The packaging performance tests referred to in sec-tions 10 and 26 of the General Introduction and in Annex I to this Code should not apply to this substance due to its low degree of danger.

Packing Any sift proof tear proof receptacle. For IBCs see section 26 of the General Introduction.

Properties Oxygen generators chemical are devices containing chemicals which upon activation release oxygen as a product of chemical reaction. Chemical oxygen generators are used for the generation of oxygen for respiratory support e.g. in aircraft submarines spacecraft bomb shelters and breathing apparatus. Oxidizing salts such as chlorates and perchlorates of lithium sodium and potassium which are used in chemical oxygen generators evolve oxygen when heated. These salts are mixed (compounded) with a fuel usually iron powder, to form a chlorate candle which produces oxygen by continuous reac-tion. The fuel is used to generate heat by oxidation. Once the reac-tion begins oxygen is released from the hot salt by thermal decompo-sition (a thermal shield is used around the generator). A portion of the oxygen reacts with the fuel to produce more heat which produces more oxygen, and so on. Initiation of the reaction can be achieved by a percussion device friction device or electric wire. Observations An oxygen generator chemical containing oxidizing substances should meet the following conditions: 1 the generator when containing an explosive actuating device

should only be transported under this entry when excluded from in accordance with paragraph 2.1.3 of the United Nations Rec-ommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods;

2 in addition to the requirements of packaging group II applicable to the package the generator without its packaging, should be capa-ble of withstanding a 1.8 m drop test onto a rigid non-resilient flat and horizontal surface in the position most likely to cause damage without loss of its contents and without actuation;

3 when a generator is equipped with an actuating device it should have at least two positive means of preventing unintentional ac-tuation.

Packing See table 2.4 in the Introduction to this class. In addition the generator(s) should be transported in a package which will meet the following requirements when one generator in the pack-age is actuated:

1. other generators in the package will not be actuated; 2. packaging material will not ignite; and 3. the outside surface temperature of the completed pack-

age must not exceed 100° C. Stowage Category D. Packing, Stowage & Segregation See also General Introduction and introduction to this class.

6 PACKING

6.1 General packing requirements

6.1.1 To avoid unnecessary confinement metal packagings meeting the test criteria of packaging group I should not be used. Organic peroxides are assigned to packaging group II (medium danger).

6.1.2 The packagings to be used should be appropriate to the physical state of the material to be transported.

6.1.3 The packagings of an organic peroxide required to bear a subsidiary risk label of should comply with the provi-sions in 3.3.9 and 3.3.10 of the introduction to .

6.1.4 All receptacles should be effectively closed. Where significant internal pressure may develop in a package by the evolution of gas a vent may be fitted provided the qas emitted will not cause danger, otherwise the degree of filling should be limited. Any venting device should be so constructed, that liquid will not escape when the pack-age is in an upright position and it should be able to prevent ingress of impurities. The outer packaging, if any, should be so designed as not to interfere with the operation of the venting device.

6.1.5 When plastics drums plastics jerricans or composite packagings are used the compatibility of the plastics mate-rial with a liquid organic peroxide should be tested in accordance with 8.3.5 of Annex I to this Code. Organic peroxides may show damaging effects on plastics by, for example, stress, cracking, swelling or oxidative degra-dation. This can be tested by storing over a long period for example six months the packaging filled with the organic peroxide or with appropriate substitutes approved by the competent authority of the country of origin.

6.1.6 Packagings for organic peroxides should meet the requirements of Annex I to this Code and should be so con-structed that none of the materials which are in contact with the contents will catalyse or otherwise dangerously affect the properties of their contents. For instance a metal drum should only be constructed of:

1 material compatible with its intended contents; or

2 material effectively treated so as to make it compatible with its contents or should be lined inter-nally with an inert material.

6.1.7 For combination packagings cushioning materials should not be readily combustible and should not cause de-composition of the organic peroxide, if leakage occurs.

6.1.8 Except for classes 1.6.2 and 7 packaging requirements can be found in section 10 and Annex I of the General Introduction to this Code Provisions for the carriage of limited quantities of dangerous goods can be found in section 18.

6.2 Types of packagings and limits

6.2.1 The packing methods for organic peroxides are listed in 6.3 and are designated as OP1A to OP8A for liquids and OP1B to OP8B for solids. The quantities specified for each packing method represent the maximum currently considered good practice. The following kinds of packagings may be used:

- drums conforming to 7.1, 7.2, 7.4, 7.6 or 7.7 of Annex I; or

- jerricans conforming to 7.3 or 7.7; or

IMDG CODE - PAGE 5206 Amdt. 29-98

Page 466: IMDG1998

CLASS 5.2 – O r g a n i c p e r o x i d e s

- boxes conforming to 7.8, 7.9, 7.10, 7.11, 7.12 or 7.13; or

- composite packagings with a plastics inner receptacle conforming to 7.18 of Annex I to this Code; provided that:

I. the provisions of Annex I are complied with;

II. metal packagings (including inner packagings of combination packagings and outer packagings of combination or composite packagings) are used only for packing methods OP7 and OP8;

III. in combination packagings, glass receptacles are used only as inner packagings with a maximum con-tent of 0.5 kg or 0.5 l.

6.2.2 The packing methods appropriate for the individual currently assigned organic peroxides are listed in the appen-dices to the individual schedules. A packing method corresponding to a smaller package size (i.e. with a lower OP number) may be used but a packing method corresponding to a larger package size (i.e. with a higher OP number) should not be used.

6.2.3 For new organic peroxides or new formulations of currently assigned organic peroxides, the following procedure should be used to assign the appropriate packing method.

1 ORGANIC PEROXIDE TYPE B

Packing method OP5A or OP5B should be assigned provided that the organic peroxide satisfies the criteria in 3.3.2 in one of the packagings shown for this packing method. If the organic peroxide can only satisfy these criteria in a smaller packaging than those listed for packing method OP5A or OP5B (i.e. one of the packagings listed for OP1A to OP4A or OP1B to OP4B) then the corresponding packing method with the lower OP number has to be assigned.

2 ORGANIC PEROXIDE TYPE C

Packing method OP6A or OP6B should be assigned provided that the organic peroxide satisfies the criteria in 3.3.3 in one of the packagings shown for this packing method. If the organic peroxide can only satisfy these criteria in a smaller packaging than those listed for packing method OP6A or OP6B then the corresponding pack-ing method with the lower OP number has to be assigned.

3 ORGANIC PEROXIDE TYPE D

Packing method OP7A or OP7B should be assigned to this type of organic peroxide.

4 ORGANIC PEROXIDE TYPE E

Packing method OP8A or OP8B should be assigned to this type of organic peroxide.

5 ORGANIC PEROXIDE TYPE F

Packing method OP8A or OP8B should be assigned to this type of organic peroxide.

CLASS 6.1 – T o x i c s u b s t a n c e s

2.1.4 In assigning the packaging group of a toxic substance for which no specific packaging group is given in the individual schedule, due account should be taken of the toxicity exhibited by all three routes of administration and of the provisions in 2.1.3 above. The packaging group of a substance or mixture possessing more than one hazard should be determined in accordance with subsection 5.2 of the General Introduction.

2.2 Definitions

2.2.1 LD50 for acute oral toxicity

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 should be sufficient to give a statisti-cally significant result and be in conformity with good pharmacological practices. The result is expressed in milligrams per kilogram body mass.

2.2.2 LD50 for acute dermal toxicity

That dose of the substance which, administered by continuous contact for 24 hours with the bare skin of the albino rabbit is most likely to cause death within 14 days in one half of the animals tested. The number of ani-mals tested should be sufficient to give a statistically significant result and be in conformity with good pharma-cological practices. The result is expressed in milligrams per kilogram body mass.

2.2.3 LC50 for acute toxicity on inhalation

That concentration of vapour, mist or dust which, administered by continuous inhalation to both male and fe-male young adult albino rats for one hour, is most likely to cause death within 14 days in one half of the animals tested. A solid substance should be tested if at least 10% (by mass) of its total mass is likely to be dust in the respirable range, e.g. the aerodynamic diameter of that particle fraction is 10 microns or less. A liquid sub-stance should be tested if a mist is likely to be generated in a leakage of the transport containment. For both solid and liquid substances more than 90% (by mass) of a specimen prepared for inhalation toxicity testing should be in the respirable range as defined above. The result is expressed in milligrams per litre of air for dusts and mists or in millilitres per cubic metre of air (parts per million) for vapours.

2.3 Grouping criteria

2.3.1 The criteria for grouping a substance according to the toxicity it exhibits by all three routes of administration are presented in the following paragraphs.

IMDG CODE - PAGE 6007 Amdt. 28-96

Page 472: IMDG1998

CLASS 6.1 – T o x i c s u b s t a n c e s

2.3.2 The grouping criteria for the oral and dermal routes as well as for inhalation of dusts and mists are shown in the following table

Grouping criteria for administration through oral ingestion, dermal contact and inha-lation of dusts and mists

Dermal toxicity LD50

(mg/kg)

Inhalation toxicity by dusts and mists LD50 (one hour)

(mg/l)

I ≤ 5 ≤ 40 ≤ 0.5

II > 5 - 50 > 40 - 200 > 0.5 - 2

III Solids 1 > 50 - 200 > 200 – 1.000 > 2 - 10

Liquids > 50 - 500 > 200 - 1.000 > 2 - 10

1 Tear gas substances whose toxicity data correspond to the values shown for packaging group III should nevertheless be included in packaging group II.

Note: Substances meeting the criteria of class 8 and with an inhalation toxicity of dusts and mists (LD50), leading

to packaging group I should only be accepted for an allocation to class 6.1 if the toxicity through oral in-gestion or dermal contact is at least in the range of packaging group I or II. Otherwise an allocation to class 8 should be appropriate (see 2.1.2 of the introduction to class 8)

2.3.3 Liquids having toxic vapours should be assigned to the following packaging groups where “V” is the saturated vapour concentration in ml/m3 an at 20˚C and standard atmospheric pressure:

Packaging group I - If V≥ 10 LD50 and LD50 ≤ 1.000 ml/m3

Packaging group II - If V≥ 10 LD50 and LD50 ≤ 3.000 ml/m3 and do not meet the criteria for packaging group I

Packaging group III* - If V≥ 1/5 LD50 and LD50 ≤ 5.000 ml/m3 and do not meet the criteria for packaging group I or II

* Tear gas substances whose toxicity data correspond to the values shown for packaging group III should nevertheless be included in packaging group II.

CLASS 6.1 – T o x i c s u b s t a n c e s

2.5.3 In the absence of LC50 data on the toxic (poisonous) constituent substances the mixture may be assigned a packaging group based on the following simplified threshold toxicity tests. When these threshold tests are used the most restrictive packaging group should be determined and used for transporting the mixture.

1 A mixture is assigned to packaging group I only if it meets both of the following criteria:

1.1 A sample of the liquid mixture is vaporized and diluted with air to create a test atmosphere of 1000 ml/m3 vaporized mixture in air. Ten albino rats (five male and five female) are exposed to the test atmosphere for one hour and observed for 14-days. If five or more of the animals die within the 14-day observation period the mix-ture is presumed to have an LC50 equal to or less than 1000 ml/m3.

1.2 A sample of the vapour in equilibrium with the liquid mixture at 20° C is diluted with nine equal volumes of air to form a test atmosphere. Ten albino rats (five male and five female) are exposed to the test atmosphere for one 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.

2. A mixture is assigned to packaging group II only it, it meets both of the following criteria and the mixture does not meet the criteria for packaging group I.

2.1 A sample of the liquid mixture is vaporized and diluted with air to create a test atmosphere of 3000 ml/m3 vaporized mixture in air. Ten albino rats (five male and five female) are exposed to the test atmosphere for one hour and observed for 14-days. If five or more of the animals die within the 14-day observation period the mix-ture is presumed to have an LC50 equal to or less than 3000 ml/m3.

2.2 A sample of the vapour in equilibrium with the liquid mixture at 20° C is used to form a test atmosphere. Ten albino rats (five male and five female) are exposed to the test atmosphere for one 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.

3 A mixture is assigned to packaging group III only if it meets both of the following criteria and the mixture does not meet the criteria for packaging groups I or II.

3.1 A sample of the liquid mixture is vaporized and diluted with air to create a test atmosphere of 5000 ml/m3 vaporized mixture in air. Ten albino rats (five male and five female) are exposed to the test atmosphere for one hour and observed for 14-days. If five or more of the animals die within the 14-day observation period the mix-ture is presumed to have an LC50 equal to or less than 5000 ml/m3.

3.2 The vapour pressure of the liquid mixture is measured and if the vapour concentration is equal to or greater than 1000 ml/m3 the mixture is presumed to have a volatility equal to or greater than 1/5 the mixture LC50.

2.6 Methods for determining oral and dermal toxicity of mixtures.

2.6.1 When classifying and assigning the appropriate packaging group to mixtures in class 6.1 in accordance with the oral and dermal toxicity criteria in 2.3.2 it is necessary to determine the acute LD50 of the mixture.

IMDG CODE - PAGE 6011 Amdt. 28-96

Page 474: IMDG1998

CLASS 6.1 – T o x i c s u b s t a n c e s

2.6.2 If a mixture contains only one active substance, and the LD50 of that constituent is known, in the absence of reliable acute oral and dermal toxicity data on the actual mixture to be transported, the oral or dermal LD50 may be ob-tained by the following method:

LD50 value of active substance x 100 LD50 value of preparation = percentage of active substance by mass

2.6.3 If a mixture contains more than one active constituent, there are three possible approaches that may be used to determine the oral or dermal LD50 of the mixture. The preferred method is to obtain reliable acute oral and der-mal toxicity data on the actual mixture to be transported. If reliable, accurate data is not available, then either of the following methods may be performed:

.1 Classify the formulation according to the most hazardous constituent of the mixture as if that constituent were present in the same concentration as the total concentration of all active constituents; or

.2 Apply the formula:

MZ

Z

B

B

A

A

TTC

TC

TC 100=++

where: C = the % concentration of constituent A, B ... Z in the mixture; T = the oral LD50 values of constituent A, B ... Z; TM = the oral LD50 value of the mixture.

Note: This formula can also be used for dermal toxicities provided that this information is available on the same species for all constituents. The use of this formula does not take into account any potentiation or protec-tive phenomena.

2.7 Classification of pesticides

2.7.1 Alt active pesticide substances and their preparations for which the LC50 and/or LD50 values are known and which are classified in class 6.1 should be classified under appropriate packaging groups in accordance with the crite-ria given in subsection 2.1 of the introduction to this class. Substances and preparations which are character-ized by subsidiary risks should be classified according to the Precedence of hazard table with the assignment of appropriate packaging groups (see 5.2.7 of the General Introduction).

2.7.2 If the oral or dermal LD50 value for a pesticide preparation is not known but the LD50 value of its active substance(s) is known, the LD50 value for the preparation may be obtained by applying the procedures described in section 2.6 of the introduction to this class.

Note: LD50 toxicity data for a number of common pesticides may be obtained from the most current edition of the WHO Recommended Classification of Pesticides by Hazard and Guidelines to Classification available from the International Programme on Chemical Safety, World Health Organization (WHO), 1211 Geneva 27, Switzerland. White that publication may be used as a source of LD50 data for pesticides, its classifica-tion system should not be used for purposes of transport classification of, or assignment of packaging groups to pesticides, which should be in accordance with the provisions of this Code.

Page 475: IMDG1998

CLASS 6.1 – T o x i c s u b s t a n c e s

2.7.3 The proper shipping name used in the transport of the pesticide should be selected on the basis of the active ingredient, of the physical state of the pesticide and any subsidiary risks it may exhibit.

2.7.4 A marine pollutant is indicated by either a "P" or "PP" adjacent to its name in the pesticides table. A solution or mixture containing 10% or more of a marine pollutant or marine pollutants, indicated by a "P", is a marine pollut-ant. A solution or mixture containing 1% or more of a marine pollutant or marine pollutants with a severe pollution potential, indicated by a "PP", is a marine pollutant. See also 2.3.2 of the General Introduction.

2.8 Packing - general requirements

2.8.1 All packagings should be at least "effectively closed" However for substances which fall within the class 6.1, packaging group I or II inhalation toxicity criteria all packagings should be hermetically sealed

2.8.2 Parts of packagings which are in direct contact with dangerous substances should not be affected by chemical or other action of those substances. Where necessary, they should be provided with a suitable inner coating or treatment. Such parts of packagings should not incorporate constituents liable to react dangerously with the con-tents so as to form hazardous products or to weaken them significantly.

2.8.3 Where significant internal pressure may develop in a package by the evolution of gas from the contents (arising from temperature increase or other causes), a vent may be fitted provided the gas emitted will not cause danger, taking into account toxicity, flammability and quantity. The venting device should be so constructed that liquid will not escape when the package is in an upright position. The outer packaging should be so arranged as not to interfere with the operation of the venting device.

(This page intentionally blank)

Page 477: IMDG1998

CLASS 6.1 – T o x i c s u b s t a n c e s

2.8.4 As the vapour pressure of liquids with a low boiling point is usually high, the strength of packagings for these liquids should be sufficient to withstand, with an ample factor of safety, the internal pressures likely to be gen-erated.

2.8.5 When filling packagings with liquids* sufficient ullage should be left to ensure that neither leakage nor perma-nent distortion of the packagings occurs as a result of an expansion of the liquid caused by temperatures likely to occur during transport. Unless specific requirements are prescribed in national or international rules agree-ments, or recommendations liquids should not completely fill a packaging at a temperature of 55° C.

2.8.6 Unless otherwise indicated where a percentage of a substance, or of its active ingredient is stipulated, this refers to the percentage by mass in relation to the total mass of the substance in the state in which it is to be transported.

2.8.7 Packaging requirements can be found in section 10 and Annex I of the General Introduction to this Code whilst provisions for the carriage of limited quantities of dangerous goods can be found in section 18.

2.9 Packing - packaging types and limits

2.9.1 Except where there are special packing requirements in the individual schedules, the packagings indicated in the tables in subsection 2.4 of this introduction should be used.

2.9.2 Glass receptacles packaged in an outer packaging should be surrounded by inert cushioning material so ar-ranged as to prevent breakage and leakage from the package. For liquids, this cushioning material should also be absorbent. This is not necessary if close fitting parts of expanded plastics are used as cushioning material and the requirements of the second sentence of 2.3.1.5 are met, when appropriate.

2.9.3 Where glass is permitted, it should be understood to include earthenware, porcelain and other comparable materials unless stipulated otherwise.

2.9.4 Where glass or plastics receptacles are permitted it should be understood that glass or plastics bottles or jars are included.

2.9.5 Where wooden boxes are permitted as outer packagings, it should be understood that boxes of natural wood (4C1) plywood boxes (4D) and reconstituted wood boxes (4F) are included.

2.9.6 Moulded expanded plastics boxes (4H1) should be constructed of a fire-resistant grade of material. When the contents are not compatible with the outer packaging, each glass bottle should be enclosed in a bag made of plastics material compatible with the contents and the bag should be effectively closed.

2.9.7 A cylinder of the kind normally used for compressed gases, approved by the competent authority of the country concerned and with suitable valve protection, may be used to contain any toxic liquid provided that this liquid is compatible with the material of construction.

2.9.8 Removable head packagings should not be used for the transport of liquids, except that steel and aluminium removable head drums or jerricans may be used for liquids in packaging groups II and III when these packag-ings successfully pass the test for liquids.

2.9.9 Non-removable head packagings (1A1, 3A1, 1B1, 1H1 and 3H1) tested for liquids in accordance with the provi-sions of Annex I may also be used as packagings for solids on condition that the testing qualifications indicated in the UN mark are observed.

* With respect to ullage limits only, viscous substances with an outflow time via a DIN-cup with a 4 mm diameter outlet ex-ceeding 10 minutes at 20° C (corresponding to an outflow time via a Ford cup 4 of more than 690 seconds at 20° C, or to a viscosity of more than 2.680 centistokes at 20° C) should be subject to the provisions applicable for packagings destined for solid substances.

3. those known or reasonably expected to contain pathogens in Risk Groups 2, 3 or 4 and which do not meet the criteria of 1.41 above Substances in this group should be classified in class 6.2 under UN No. 2814 or UN No. 2900, as appropriate.

Note: Some licensed biological products may present a biohazard in certain parts of the world only. As a result, competent authorities may require these biological products to comply with the requirements for infectious substances or may impose other restrictions.

1.5 Diagnostic specimens are any human or animal material including but not limited to, excreta, secreta blood and its components, tissue and tissue fluids being shipped for diagnostic or investigational purposes, but excluding live in-fected animals. For the purposes of this Code diagnostic specimens are divided into the following groups.

1. those known or reasonably expected to contain pathogens in risk groups 2, 3 or 4 and those where a rela-tively low probability exists that pathogens of risk group 4 are present. Such substances should be classi-fied in Class 6.2 and assigned to UN No. 2814 or UN No. 2900, as appropriate. Specimens transported for the purpose of initial or confirmatory testing for the presence of pathogens fall within this group;

2. those where a relatively low probability exists that pathogens of risk group 2 or 3 are present. Specimens transported for the purpose of routine screening tests or for initial diagnosis other than for the presence of pathogens fall within this group;

3. those known not to contain pathogens;

1.6 Wastes transported under UN No. 3291 are wastes derived from the medical treatment of humans or animals or from bio research where there is a relatively low probability that infectious substances are present. Waste infectious sub-stances which can be specified should be assigned to UN No. 2814 or to UN No. 2900. The provisions of this Code should not apply to decontaminated wastes which previously contained infectious substances unless the criteria of another class are met.

1 the primary receptacle(s) do not contain more than 100 ml; 2 the outer packaging does not contain more than 500 ml; 3 the primary receptacles are leak proof and; 4 the packaging is in accordance with the provisions of 5.1 of this introduction. 2.3 Provided an equivalent level of performance is maintained the following variations in the primary receptacles placed

within an intermediate packaging are allowed without further testing of the completed package.

1 Primary receptacles of equivalent or smaller size as compared to the tested primary receptacles may be used provided:

1.1 the primary receptacles are of similar design to the tested primary receptacle (e.g. shape round rectangular etc.);

1.2 the material of construction of the primary receptacle (glass plastics metal etc ) offers resistance to impact and stacking forces equal to or greater than that of the originally tested primary receptacle;

1.3 the primary receptacles have the same or smaller openings and the closure is of similar design (e.g. screw cap friction lid etc.);

1.4 sufficient additional cushioning material is used to take up void spaces and to prevent significant movement of the primary receptacles; and

1.5 primary receptacles are oriented within the intermediate packaging in the same manner as in the tested pack-age.

2 A lesser number of the tested primary receptacles or of the alternative types of primary receptacles identified in 1 above may be used provided sufficient cushioning is added to fill the void space(s) and to prevent significant movement of the primary receptacles.

3 RESPONSIBILITY OF CONSIGNOR

3.1 The transport of infectious substances requires co-coordinated action by the consignor the carrier and the con-signee to ensure safety and arrival on time and in proper condition.

1 Dispatch of infectious substances should not take place before advance arrangements have been made between consignor carrier and consignee nor before the consignee has confirmed with his competent authorities that the substances can legally be imported and that no delay will be incurred in the delivery of the consignment to its desti-nation.

IMDG CODE - PAGE 6303 Amdt. 29-98

Page 540: IMDG1998

CLASS 6.2 – I n f e c t i o u s s u b s t a n c e s

2 In order to secure transmission without hindrance it is necessary to prepare all dispatch documents including the transport document (see section 9 of the General Introduction) in strict accordance with rules governing the acceptance of the goods to be dispatched. If the substance is perishable warnings should appear on the trans-port document for instance. Keep cool between +2° C and +4° C or Keep frozen or Do not freeze. The full ad-dress of the consignee should be shown on the appropriate dispatch document together with the name of a responsible person and his telephone number.

3 Whatever the mode used transport should be by the quickest possible routing. If trans-shipment is necessary precautions should be taken to ensure special care expeditious handling and monitoring of the substances in transit. Transport documents should show the number of the flight or train its date and the name(s) of the air-port(s) or station(s) of trans-shipment.

4 The consignor should notify the consignee in advance of transport details such as means of transport flight or train number(s) transport document number and date and hour of expected arrival at the point of destination so that the consignment can be collected promptly. The most rapid means of communication should be used for this notification.

4 GENERAL PACKING REQUIREMENTS AND COMMUNICATION OF INFORMATION

4.1 Consignors of infectious substances should ensure that packages are prepared in such a manner that they arrive at their destination in good condition and present no hazard to persons or animals during transport.

4.2 The packaging should as demonstrated by tests be capable of successfully passing the design type tests de-tailed in section 6 of this introduction.

4.3 The terms and definitions of section 2 of Annex I and the general packing requirements of section 3 of the same Annex (except 3.3, 3.9 to 3.12 and 3.16) are applicable to the packing of infectious substances.

4.4 Information should be provided as follows:

1 inside the package an itemized list of contents should be enclosed between the secondary packaging and the outer packaging; and

2 outside the package an infectious substance primary label (see 8.4 of the General Introduction) should be affixed to the outer packaging together with any other label or marking required by the nature of the contents;

4.5 Before an empty packaging is returned to the consignor or sent elsewhere it should be thoroughly disinfected or sterilized and any label or marking indicating that it had contained an infectious substance should be removed or obliterated.

5 PACKING

5.1 A packaging should include the following essential elements:

1 An inner packaging comprising: 1.1 watertight primary receptacle(s); 1.2 a watertight secondary packaging; and

1.3 absorbent material in sufficient quantity to absorb the entire contents placed between the primary recepta-cle(s) and the secondary packaging, if several primary receptacles are placed in a single secondary packaging they should be individually wrapped so as to prevent contact between them.

IMDG CODE - PAGE 8304 Amdt. 28-96

CLASS 6.2 – I n f e c t i o u s s u b s t a n c e s

2 An outer packaging of adequate strength for its capacity mass and intended use and with a minimum external dimension of 100 mm

5.2 Inner packagings containing infectious substances should not be consolidated with inner packagings containing unrelated types of goods. Complete packages may be overpacked in accordance with the requirements of para-graph 10.19 of the General Introduction such an overpack may contain dry ice.

5.3 Other than for exceptional consignments e.g., whole organs which require special packaging, infectious substances should be packed in accordance with the following guidelines.

1 Lyophilized substances.

Primary receptacles should include flame-sealed glass ampoules or rubber-stoppered glass vials fitted with metal seals.

2 Liquid or solid substances

2.1 For substances consigned at ambient temperature or at a higher temperature, primary receptacles should be of glass metal or plastics. Positive means of ensuring a leakproof seal should be provided, e.g. , a heat seal, a skirted stopper or a metal crimp seal. If screw caps are used, they should be reinforced with adhesive tape.

2.2 For substances consigned refrigerated or frozen, ice, dry ice or other refrigerant should be placed around the secondary packaging(s) or alternatively in an overpack with one or more complete packages marked in accordance with 5.6 Interior supports should be provided to secure secondary packaging(s) or packages in position after the ice or dry ice has dissipated. If ice is used, the outer packaging or overpack should be leakproof If dry ice is used, the outer packaging or overpack should permit the release of carbon dioxide gas. The primary receptacle and the sec-ondary packaging should maintain their integrity at the temperature of the refrigerant used.

2.3 For substances consigned in liquid nitrogen, plastics primary receptacles capable of withstanding very low temperature should be used. The secondary packaging should also be capable of withstanding very low tempera-tures and in most cases will need to be fitted over the primary receptacle individually. Requirements for the con-signment of liquid nitrogen should also be fulfilled. The primary receptacle and the secondary packaging should maintain their integrity at the temperature of the liquid nitrogen.

5.4 Whatever the intended temperature of the consignment, the primary receptacle or the secondary packaging should be capable of withstanding, without leakage, an internal pressure producing a pressure differential of not less than 95 kPa and temperatures in the range -40° C to +55° C.

5.5 Unless an infectious substance cannot be consigned by any other means live vertebrate or invertebrate animals should not be used to consign such a substance infected animals should be consigned in accordance with condi-tions specified by the competent authority.

6 TEST REQUIREMENTS FOR PACKAGINGS 6.1 Other than for packagings for live animals and organisms samples of each packaging should be prepared for testing

as described in 6.2 and then subjected to the tests in 6.3 to 6.5. If the nature of the packaging makes it necessary, equivalent preparation and tests are permitted, provided that these may be demonstrated to be at least as effective.

6.2 Samples of each packaging should be prepared as for transport except that a liquid or solid infectious substance should be replaced by water or, where conditioning at -18°C is specified by water containing antifreeze. Each pri-mary receptacle should be filled to 98% capacity.

6.3 Packagings prepared as for transport should be subjected to the tests in table 1 which, for test purposes, catego-rizes packagings according to their material characteristics. For outer packagings, the headings in the table relate to fibreboard or similar materials whose performance may be rapidly affected by moisture, plastics which may embrit-tle at low temperature, and other materials such as metal whose performance is not affected by moisture or tem-perature. If a primary receptacle and a secondary packaging of an inner packaging are made of different materials, the material of the primary receptacle determines the appropriate test. In instances where a primary receptacle is made of two materials, the material most liable to damage should determine the appropriate test.

- flat on to the base; - flat on to the top;

- flat on to the longest side; - flat on to the shortest side; - on to a corner;

Where the samples are in the shape of a drum, three should be dropped in sequence:

- diagonally on to the top chime, with the center of gravity directly above the point of impact;

- diagonally on to the base chime;

- flat on to the side.

Following the appropriate drop sequence there should be no leakage from the primary receptacle(s) which should remain protected by the absorbent material in the secondary packaging.

(Note: While the sample should be released in the required orientation, it is accepted that for aerodynamic rea-sons the impact may not take place in that orientation )

6.4.2 The sample should be subjected to a water spray that simulates exposure to rainfall of approximately 5 cm per hour for at least one hour It should then be subjected to the test described in 6.4.1.

6.4.3 The sample should be conditioned in an atmosphere of -18° C or less fora period of at least 24 hours and within 15 minutes of removal from that atmosphere be subjected to the test described in 6.4.1. Where the sample contains dry ice, the conditioning period may be reduced to 4 hours.

6.4.4 Where the packaging is intended to contain dry ice, a test additional to that specified in 6.4.1 or 6.4.2 or 6.4.3 or 6.4.2 and 6.4.3 should be carried out. One sample should be stored so that all the dry ice dissipates and then be subjected to the test described in 6.4.1.

6.5 Packagings with a gross mass of 7 kg or less should be subjected to the tests described in 1 below and packag-ings with a gross mass exceeding 7 kg to the tests in 2 below:

1 Samples should be placed on a level hard surface A cylindrical steel rod with a mass of at least 7 kg, a diame-ter not exceeding 38 mm and the impact end edges having a radius not exceeding 6 mm should be dropped in a vertical free fall from a height of 1 m, measured from the impact end to the impact surface of a sample. One sample should be placed on its base. A second sample should be placed in an orientation perpendicular to that used for the first. In each instance the steel rod should be aimed to impact the primary receptacle. Following each impact, penetration of the secondary packaging is acceptable, provided that there is no leakage from the primary receptacle(s).

2 Samples should be dropped on to the end of a cylindrical steel rod. The rod should be set vertically in a level hard surface It should have a diameter of 38 mm and the edges of the upper end a radius not exceeding 6 mm. The rod should protrude from the surface a distance at least equal to that between the primary receptacle(s) and the outer surface of the outer packaging with a minimum of 200 mm. One sample should be dropped in a verti-cal free fall from a height of 1 m, measured from the top of the steel rod. A second sample should be dropped from the same height in an orientation perpendicular to that used for the first. In each instance the packaging should be so orientated that the steel rod would penetrate the primary receptacle(s). Following each impact, penetration of the secondary packaging is acceptable, provided that there is no leakage from the primary recep-tacle(s).

6.6 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 drums bags and boxes which are produced with small reductions in external dimension(s).

6.7 Inner receptacles of any type may be assembled within an intermediate (secondary) packaging and transported without testing in the outer packaging under the following conditions:

1 The intermediate/outer packaging combination should have been successfully tested in accordance with 6.4.1 with fragile (e.g. glass) inner receptacles;

2 The total combined gross mass of inner receptacles should not exceed one half of the gross mass of inner receptacles used for the drop test in 6.8.1; above

3 The thickness of cushioning between inner receptacles and between inner receptacles and the outside of the intermedi-ate packaging should not be reduced below the corresponding thicknesses in the originally tested packaging, and if a single inner receptacle was used in the original test, the thickness of cushioning between inner receptacles should not be less than the thickness of cushioning between the outside of the intermediate packaging and the inner receptacle in the original test. When either fewer or smaller inner receptacles are used (as compared to the inner receptacles used in the drop test), sufficient additional cushioning material should be used to take up the void;

4 The outer packaging should have successfully passed the stacking test in 8.7 of Annex I to this Code while empty. The total mass of identical packages should be based on the combined mass of inner receptacles used in the drop test in 6.8.1 above;

5 For inner receptacles containing liquids, an adequate quantity of absorbent material to absorb the entire liquid content of the inner receptacles should be present;

6 If the outer packaging is intended to contain inner receptacles for liquids and is not leak proof or is intended to contain inner receptacles for solids and is not sift proof, a means of containing any liquid or solid contents in the event of leakage should be provided in the form of a leak proof liner, plastics bag or other equally effective means of containment; and

7 In addition to the markings prescribed in 5.6 (a) to (f), packagings should be marked in accordance with 5.6 (g).

6.8 Waste clinical or (bio) medical substances should meet all the requirements for infectious substances except the packag-ing requirements of sections 5 and 6 of this introduction. Such waste should be transported in rigid leak proof packagings or IBCs in accordance with the provisions of section 26 of the General Introduction and Annex I for solids, at the packag-ing group II performance level, provided there is sufficient absorbent material to absorb the entire amount of liquid present and the packaging or IBC is capable of retaining liquids. Packages containing larger quantities of liquid should be carried in rigid packagings or IBCs in accordance with the provisions of section 26 of the General Introduction and Annex I at the packaging group II performance level for liquids. Packagings or IBCs intended to contain sharp objects such as broken glass and needles should be resistant to puncture and retain liquids under the performance test conditions in section 26 of the General Introduction and Annex I.

CARGO TRANSPORT UNIT, UNDER FUMIGATION

CONTAINER UNDER FUMIGATION

Fumigation Warning sign NO CLASS 9 LABEL REQUIRED

UN No. Formula Properties A closed cargo transport unit loaded with cargoes under fumigation. The fumigant gases are either poisonous or asphyxiant. The gases are evolved from solid or liquid preparations distributed within the closed cargo transport unit. Observations Reference is made to the IMO/ILO/UN ECE Guidelines for Packing of Cargo Transport Units (CTUs) and the Recommendations on the Safe Use of Pesticides in Ships Only a cargo transport unit that can be closed in such a way that the escape of gas is reduced to a minimum should be used for the carriage of fumigated cargo. A closed cargo transport unit containing cargo under fumigation should not be al-lowed on board until sufficient time has elapsed to allow the attain-ment of a reasonably uniform gas concentration throughout the cargo. Because of variations due to types and amounts of fumigants and commodities and temperature levels, the period which should elapse between fumigant application and loading should be determined by the competent authority. Twenty-four hours is normally adequate for this purpose. The master should be informed prior to loading of a cargo transport unit under fumigation. These should be identified with a warning sign affixed to the access door(s) incorporating the identity of the fumigant and the date and time of fumigation. The transport documents for a closed cargo transport unit should show the date of fumigation and the type and amount of fumigant used. Equipment for detecting the fumigant gas or gases should be carried on the ship with the instruction for its use. The provisions of this Code should not apply to a closed cargo trans-port unit which has been ventilated after fumigation to ensure that no harmful concentrations of gas remain. Such a unit should also have the warning sign(s) removed. Fumigants should not be applied to the contents of a cargo transport unit once it has been loaded aboard a ship. Stowage Category B.

In general, transformers and condensers should be carried in leakproof metal packagings which are capable of holding, in addition to the transformers and con-densers, at least 1.25 times the volume of the liquid present in them. There should be sufficient inert absorbent material in the packagings to absorb at least 1.1 times the volume of liquid which is contained in the transformers or condensers. The transformers or condensers should not be overstowed. Notwithstanding the above, liquids and solids not packaged in accordance with table 1 or 2 of the introduction to class 6.1 and unpackaged transformers and condensers should be stowed in cargo transport units fitted with a leakproof metal tray to a height of 800mm, containing sufficient inert absorbent material to ab-sorb at least 1.1 times the volume of any free liquid. Adequate provision should be made to seal the transformers and con-densers to ensure that leakage during transport is minimized. For IBCs see section 26 of the General Introduction. For tanks see section 13 of the General Introduction. Stowage Category A. «SEPARATED FROM» foodstuffs.
