ITEM 203

DEFINITION AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR PLASTIC SEMI-BULK BAGS

Cancel; see Item 280.

THIS SPACE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK



SUBJECT 13 — DOCKET 2019-2 — APPROVED AS DOCKETED — Continued

ITEM 280

DEFINITION OF OR SPECIFICATIONS FOR INTERMEDIATE BULK CONTAINERS (IBCs)

General Definition and Specifications

Sec. 1. Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) are large flexible, semi-rigid or rigid portable

packages that permit handling with mechanical equipment and may be constructed from a

variety of materials including fabric, fiberboard, metal, plastic or wood, or a combination

thereof, see Secs. 2 and 3 herein. The receptacle of an IBC has a volumetric capacity of not

more than 3,000 liters (793 gallons or 106 cubic feet) and not less than 450 liters (119 gallons or

15.9 cubic feet) or a maximum net mass of not less than 400 kilograms (882 pounds). They must

be designed with handles, straps, legs, an integral lift truck skid, pallet or platform base, or be

secured on a lift truck skid, pallet or platform so as to provide for mechanical equipment to

safely pick up the container, and must be constructed so as to sufficiently contain and

protect the contents and withstand the normal rigors of the less-than-truckload environment.

IBCs intended for stacking must have an integral stacking alignment or securing design feature.

IBCs must be securely closed, and sufficient outage must be left within the IBC to ensure that

the package will not leak or be permanently distorted as a result of liquid expansion due to

change in temperatures likely to be encountered during transportation. IBCs designed for the

transport of solid materials must be sift-proof and water-resistant. Bottom valves must be

secured in the closed position, have a secondary means of sealing and must sufficiently protect

against damage (e.g. shearing).

Flexible IBCs (FIBCs)

Sec. 2. Flexible IBCs (FIBCs) may be used for dry commodities only and must be

constructed as follows and meet the performance requirements specified herein. FIBCs must be

made from coated or uncoated polyethylene or polypropylene woven fabric so constructed as

to contain and protect the contents and withstand the normal rigors of the less-than-truckload

environment. Handles or straps must harness, encircle or be securely attached to the FIBC body

to facilitate handling by mechanical equipment. FIBCs with spouts for discharging purposes, or

with top or bottom filling or discharging openings, must be secured by means that will provide a

sift-proof closure. FIBCs on lift truck skids, pallets or platforms must be designed and secured so

that container and contents will not overhang the lift truck skid, pallet or platform deck. FIBCs

may be used again in transportation only when they are in such condition that they will protect

contents as effectively as new containers.

Nonhazardous Liquids in Fiberboard IBCs with Inner Plastic Film Bag or Liner

Sec. 3. Nonhazardous liquids may be shipped in fiberboard IBCs having an inner plastic

film bag or liner and secured on a lift truck skid, pallet or platform. Container must be six-sided

and made of solid or of multiwall corrugated fiberboard sufficient to support the capacity of

the inner plastic film bag or liner and its contents. Inner plastic film bag or liner must have

sufficient outage to provide adequate containment during transport. Fiberboard container

must not overhang the lift truck skid, pallet or platform deck and must be secured on the lift

truck skid, pallet or platform by strapping in opposing directions, with at least two straps in each

direction.




Use for Hazardous Materials

Sec. 4. IBCs used for the transportation of hazardous materials must be in conformance

with the applicable requirements of Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). ASTM

D7387, Standard Test Method for Vibration Testing of Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) Used

for Shipping Liquid Hazardous Materials (Dangerous Goods), may be used to test the integrity of

the IBC, providing the 49 CFR requirements have been met.

Comment

Item (Rule) 203 is canceled with reference to Item (Rule) 280. Item 280 is concurrently

amended to provide additional requirements and specifications, including incorporating

provisions from Item 203.
