11.1.2.2.4 The transport document may contain other information about the dangerous goods to be transported if the information is not inconsistent with, and is placed after, the information included in the document in accordance with 11.1.2.2.
NOTE: Knowledge of the actual location of dangerous goods within the cargo transport unit can be invaluable in an emergency. The inclusion of a sketch or other representation is encouraged where practicable.
11.1.2.3 Additional information required for certain dangerous goods
11.1.2.3.1 “N.O.S.” and other generic entries
[UN 5.4.1.4.3(a)] Proper shipping names that are assigned special provision 274 in Column 6 of the Dangerous Goods List must be supplemented with their technical or chemical group names as described in 3.1.2.8.
11.1.2.3.2 Elevated temperature substances
PART 11: DOCUMENTATION
[UN 5.4.1.4.3(d)] If the proper shipping name of a substance which is transported or offered for transport in a liquid state at a temperature equal to or exceeding 100 °C, or in a solid state at a temperature 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” must immediately precede the proper shipping name.
11.1.2.3.3 Substances stabilised by temperature control
[UN 5.4.1.5.4] If the word “STABILISED” is part of the proper shipping name (see also 3.1.2.6), when stabilisation is by means of temperature control, the control and emergency temperatures (see 7.1.4.3.1) must be indicated in the transport document, as follows:
“Control temperature: .... °C Emergency temperature: .... °C”
11.1.2.3.4 Self-reactive substances, polymerizing substances and organic peroxides
[UN 5.4.1.5.5] For self-reactive substances of Division 4.1, and for organic [DK5]peroxides and polymerizing substances which require temperature control during transport, the control and emergency temperatures (see 7.1.4.3.1) must be indicated on the dangerous goods transport document, as follows:
“Control temperature: .... °C Emergency temperature: .... °C”
11.1.2.3.4.1 When for certain self-reactive substances of Division 4.1 and organic peroxides of Division 5.2 the competent authority has permitted the “EXPLOSIVE” subsidiary hazard label (model No. 1) to be dispensed with for the specific package, a statement to this effect must be included.
11.1.2.3.4.2 When organic peroxides, andself-reactive substances are transported under conditions where a determination is required (for organic peroxides, see 2.5.3.2.5, 4.1.7.2.2, 4.2.1.13.1 and 4.2.1.13.3; for self-reactive substances, see 2.4.2.3.2.4 and 4.1.7.2.2), a statement to this effect must be included in the dangerous goods transport document. A copy of the classification determination and conditions of transport for non-listed organic peroxides and self-reactive substances must be attached to the dangerous goods transport document.
11.1.2.3.4.3 When a sample of an organic peroxide (see 2.5.3.2.5.1) or a self-reactive substance (see 2.4.2.3.2.4(b)) is transported, a statement to this effect must be included in the dangerous goods transport document.[DK6]
11.1.2.3.5 Infectious substances

Empty uncleaned IBCs, bulk containers, portable tanks, tank-vehicles and tank-wagons which contain the residue of dangerous goods must, to the extent practicable, be described as such on the transport document by, for example, placing the words “EMPTY UNCLEANED” or “RESIDUE LAST CONTAINED” before or after the dangerous goods description specified in 11.1.2.2.1 (a) to (e).
NOTE: The purpose of this requirement is to facilitate appropriate incident response. When using computer generated documentation, where there may be field size or content limitations that may preclude that approach, another method should be adopted that unambiguously conveys the nature of the contents, such as:
(a) using the field allocated to the Technical Name that must supplement the Proper Shipping Name where SP 274 applies;
(b) adopting a unique receptacle descriptor (see 11.1.2.2.1(f)) such as “M/T TANK”;
(c) making an alpha entry, such as “RESIDUE” or “DREGS”, in the quantity field;
(d) inserting a hand-written descriptor.
11.1.3.1.2 In transport documentation for a load of empty packagings that have not been freed of dangerous goods, words to the effect that the load contains empty receptacles of dangerous goods (for example “EMPTY D/G DRUMS”; or “D/G RESIDUE” or “RETURN EMPTY D/G PACKAGES”) may be used in the documentation instead of the information required to be included under 11.1.2.2.
NOTE: Empty, as yet unused dangerous goods prelabelled packagings should be clearly identified as such on documentation, outer packaging or vehicle to avoid inappropriate emergency response.
11.1.3.2 Combination road vehicles
When dangerous goods are transported in a placard load on a combination road vehicle, the transport documentation must indicate which dangerous goods are stowed in each vehicle forming part of the combination.
11.1.3.3 Amending documentation after unloading

PART 13: PROCEDURES DURING ROAD TRANSPORT
CHAPTER 13.1 - PROCEDURES DURING TRANSPORT
13.1.1 APPLICATION
This Chapter applies only to road vehicles transporting a placard load of dangerous goods.
13.1.2 BREAKDOWNS
13.1.2.1 General Measures
If a road vehicle transporting dangerous goods is disabled on a road or street, or has stopped and constitutes a traffic hazard, other road users must be alerted by:
(a) if:
(i) the battery has not been disconnected to prevent danger and there are flashing hazard lights on the vehicle—turning the hazard lights on and leaving them on while the vehicle is stopped; or
(ii) the battery has not been disconnected to prevent danger and there are no flashing hazard lights on the vehicle—turning the parking lights on and leaving them on while the vehicle is stopped; and
(b) placing a portable warning device in a manner required by 13.1.2.2
13.1.2.2 Placement of portable warning triangles
The portable warning triangles must be placed as follows:
(a) if the speed limit for the road is 80 kilometres per hour or more:
(i) 1 triangle at least 200 metres, but not over 250 metres, behind the vehicle; and
(ii) if the vehicle is on a one-way or divided road, 1 triangle between the triangle required by paragraph (i) and the vehicle; and
(iii) if the vehicle is not on a one-way road or divided road, 1 triangle at least 200 metres, but not over 250 metres, in front of the vehicle or fallen load; and
(iv) 1 triangle at the side of the vehicle closer to traffic;
(b) if the speed limit for the road is less than 80 kilometres per hour:
(i) 1 triangle at least 50 metres, but not over 150 metres, behind the vehicle; and
(ii) if the vehicle is on a one-way or divided road, 1 triangle between the triangle required by paragraph (i) and the vehicle; and
(iii) if the vehicle is not on a one-way road or divided road, 1 triangle at least 50 metres, but not over 150 metres, in front of the vehicle or fallen load; and
(iv) 1 triangle at the side of the vehicle closer to traffic.
NOTE: Regulation 13.1.1 of the Model subordinate instrument provides that a driver who complies with an Australian Road Rule requiring the placement of portable warning triangles does not need to comply with the requirements in Part 13 with respect to portable warning devices.
PART 13: PROCEDURES DURING ROAD TRANSPORT
13.1.3 GENERAL PRECAUTIONS DURING TRANSPORT
13.1.3.1 Passengers
No person apart from the following may ride in the cabin of a road vehicle transporting dangerous goods:
(a) an authorised officer, police officer or officer of an emergency service, or a person authorised to ride in the vehicle by such a person; or
(b) an employee of, or other person authorised to ride in the vehicle by, the owner of the vehicle or the prime contractor.
13.1.3.2 Parking requirements
13.1.3.2.1 On parking a road vehicle transporting dangerous goods:
(a) the parking brake must be fully applied; and
(b) if the vehicle is powered by a compression ignition engine, the vehicle must not be parked in gear unless:
(i) the vehicle is fitted with a device to prevent the engine from starting if the vehicle moves; and
(ii) the device is engaged.
13.1.3.2.2 Where a vehicle may be parked
13.1.3.2.2.1 A road vehicle transporting dangerous goods must not be parked or left standing:
(a) in a built-up area with public access; or
(b) within 15 metres of any building in which there is or is likely to be a concentration of people (other than a building on premises where the vehicle is loaded or unloaded); or
(c) at any other place in which there is or is likely to be a concentration of people; or
(d) within 8 metres of another vehicle which is transporting placarded dangerous goods.
13.1.3.2.2.2 Despite 13.1.3.2.2.1, a vehicle may be parked or left standing in circumstances mentioned in 13.1.3.2.2.1 if:
(a) it is reasonably necessary to do so:
(i) for the purpose of loading or unloading dangerous goods onto or from the vehicle; or
(ii) because the vehicle has broken down; or
(iii) because of a dangerous situation involving the vehicle; or
(iv) to comply with the requirement of any law; or
(v) for a brief rest or refreshment break; or
(vi) for the normal operation of the vehicle, such as a bitumen spray vehicle; and
the vehicle is not parked or left standing for any longer than is necessary and the dangerous goods are kept secure; or
(b) the Competent Authority or other local, State or Territory authority responsible for regulating the use or parking of vehicles has
PART 13: PROCEDURES DURING ROAD TRANSPORT
approved the place as a place in which vehicles transporting dangerous goods may be parked or left standing.
13.1.3.2.2.3 A vehicle transporting dangerous goods of Division 2.1 or Class 3, 4 or 5 or with a Subsidiary Hazardof 2.1, 3, 4 or 5 must not be parked or left standing within 15 metres of a naked flame.
13.1.3.2.2.4 13.1.3.2.2.1(d) does not apply to a road vehicle transporting dangerous goods that is parked or left standing in an area to which there is no public access.
13.1.3.2.2.5 Despite 13.1.3.2.2.1, a vehicle carrying BATTERIES, WET, FILLED WITH ACID, electric storage (UN 2794) of Packing Group III that each have a gross mass of 65kg or less, and that together have a gross mass of 5000 kg or less, may:
(a) park in a public place if:
(i) in the case of an enclosed vehicle, the load area is locked; or
(ii) in the case of a tray-sided vehicle, the load is covered, or the vehicle is supervised; and
(b) be garaged in a residential area if:
(i) in the case of an enclosed vehicle, the load area is locked; or
(ii) in the case of a tray-sided vehicle, the garage is locked.
13.1.3.2.2.6 However, 13.1.3.2.2.5 only applies if the transport documentation for the load states the number of batteries in the load, and if that number is adjusted after each delivery so that it accurately states the number of batteries in the load at all times.
13.1.3.3 Unloading the vehicle1
Other than for transfer to another vehicle or to another mode of transport, dangerous goods must not be unloaded from a road vehicle unless:
(a) the consignee, or a person acting on the consignee’s behalf, is present and receives the goods; or
(b) if the driver, prime contractor or consignor has agreed with the consignee for the goods to be unloaded into a secure place,
the goods are unloaded into that place.
13.1.3.4 Detaching a trailer from a prime mover or combination road vehicle
A trailer containing dangerous goods must not be detached from a prime mover or a combination road vehicle other than:
(a) at a vehicle marshalling area, designated by a local, State or Territory authority, where the loading and unloading of goods is permitted; or
(b) at a transport depot designed for the loading and unloading of goods; or
1 The Regulations may allow for unloading in emergency situations.
PART 13: PROCEDURES DURING ROAD TRANSPORT
(c) for the purposes of immediate exchange of trailers between prime movers or combination road vehicles, provided this is carried out off road and security is maintained; or
(d) in an emergency requiring the trailer to be detached in the interests of safety; or
(e) in the event of the vehicle becoming disabled on a road or street.
13.1.3.5 Operation of burners
13.1.3.5.1 Except as provided in 13.1.3.5.2. where a road tank vehicle is equipped with a burner to heat the load, the burner must not be operated when the vehicle is moving.
13.1.3.5.2 Burners may be operated on moving bitumen tankers if done in accordance with AS 2809.5, however the burner on a spray vehicle must not be operated when the vehicle is spraying bitumen.
13.1.4 ROUTES
13.1.4.1 Routes for road vehicles transporting dangerous goods must be pre-planned whenever possible to the extent practicable, taking into account
the factors in this Section1 .
13.1.4.2 Routes should be selected to minimise the risk of personal injury or harm to the environment or property during the journey.
13.1.4.3 Routes should wherever practicable avoid heavily populated or environmentally sensitive areas, congested crossings, tunnels, narrow streets, alleys, or sites where there may be, a concentration of people.
13.1.4.4 A road vehicle transporting dangerous goods must observe any requirements or restrictions on the selection of routes or times of travel which have been determined by the Competent Authority.
1 While it is not always practicable to pre-plan in detail the route of a courier or local pick-up
or delivery vehicle, the driver should nonetheless be made aware of any areas to avoid in localities where travel is anticipated.
APPENDICES
APPENDIX A: GOODS TOO DANGEROUS TO BE TRANSPORTED
A 1 Appendix A lists a number of substances and articles which are considered to be goods too dangerous to be transported.
A 2 If an entry in this Appendix includes the expression ‘N.E.S.’, it refers to goods not elsewhere specified. In those cases, the goods named in this entry are also named in one or more entries in the Dangerous Goods Lists in Chapter 3.2. An entry in the Dangerous Goods Lists describes goods of that name that may be transported. For example, it may be possible to transport a substance in compliance with this Code after mixing it with diluents, stabilisers, inhibitors, desensitisers, phlegmatisers, solvents, wetting agents or adulterants, as specified in the Dangerous Goods List, to overcome the instability inherent in the goods. The entry in this Appendix refers to goods that do not meet the description specified in the Dangerous Goods Lists and any associated Special Provisions in Chapter 3.3.
A 3 The list in this Appendix is not an exhaustive listing of goods too dangerous to be transported (see 3.1.1.3).
A 4 Under Regulation 1.5.1(2)(a), the Competent Authority may determine that other goods are to be classified as goods too dangerous to be transported, or that goods listed in this Appendix are not too dangerous to be transported.
A 5 Some State and Territory legislation, that embodies the principles of the NOHSC National Standard on the Storage and Handling of Dangerous Goods, makes reference to this list and assigns a label or placard to these goods, for use when they are kept or handled on premises. The use of that label/placard is not authorised by this Code for transport purposes.

APPENDIX B: FORMS
NOTE 1: Appendix B of UN20 is a Glossary of Terms relating to Explosives. That Glossary is repeated in the Australian Explosives Code. Where the symbol ‘†’ is included in Column 2 of the Dangerous Goods List in Section 3.2.5 of this Code, this is an indication that reference should be made to Appendix B of UN20 or to Appendix 5 of the Australian Explosives Code.
NOTE 2: This appendix includes forms that are referenced in the text of this Code that may be useful when consigning or transporting dangerous goods, or in responding to emergencies. The use of these forms is not mandated by this Code or the Regulations. These forms may be printed from this publication by printing only the page number(s) of the required form.
B 1 Multimodal Dangerous Goods Form
Figure B1 is a copy of the Multimodal Dangerous Goods Form, reproduced from Chapter 5.4 of UN20. Use of such a form is mandatory under the IMDG Code for sea transport of dangerous goods.
For road and rail transport in Australia, the actual format of the dangerous goods transport document is not mandated. Flexibility of transport documentation design is permitted within the constraints of Chapter 11.1, to allow for computer generated documentation and preprinted forms.
The Multimodal Dangerous Goods Form is, however, an acceptable form of documentation under this Code and may be useful for small consignments where details are entered by hand. Particular attention is drawn to the need to enter the dangerous goods details at Item 14 as a character string in a particular sequence (see 11.1.1.2.3).
If using this form as a transport document solely for transport of dangerous goods by road or rail within Australia, it is not necessary to complete those fields that are required by the international Codes but are not mandated in Part 11 of this Code.
B 2 Sample Generic Concessional Limited Quantities Transport Document loads
Figure B2 is a sample generic transport document that may be used, when correctly completed, in lieu of a transport document that complies with Part 11, for the transport of dangerous goods that fully comply with all of the conditions of the Concessional Limited Quantity requirements prescribed in Chapter 3.4.10.
B 3 Revised Hazchem Emergency Action Code Pocket Card
Figure B3 is a double sided card that provides interpretation of the revised Hazchem Codes as incorporated in Appendix C.
When used in conjunction with Hazchem Codes on emergency information panels prepared in accordance with the previous edition of this Code, any characters in reverse print should be read as the corresponding letter in normal print. The advice provided by following this card will still be valid.

APPENDIX C: HAZCHEM CODES
Introductory Notes
C1 Scope and Application
C1.1 This Appendix provides additional information that may be useful in event of an emergency for most dangerous goods listed in the Dangerous Goods List in Chapter 3.2. For the UN Numbers with information, two codes are listed in C3, as follows:
(a) the HAZCHEM Code, as listed in the Dangerous Goods Emergency Action Code List 2013, published by HM Fire Service Inspectorate of the United Kingdom. This is the primary code used in Australia; and
(b) the Hazard Identification Number (HIN) assigned in the ADR and RID, which is provided for information purposes only.
NOTE The list of Emergency Action Codes (EACs) is current at the time of publishing the ADGC. Later editions of the Dangerous Goods Emergency Action Code List may need to be checked for amendments to the Hazchem Codes.
C1.2 When dangerous goods are transported in portable tanks, demountable tanks, multiple element gas containers, bulk containers or tank vehicles, it is a requirement of Chapter 5.3 of this Code that the Hazchem Code be displayed on the emergency information panel. This Hazchem Code should be determined from the list in C3.
C1.3 The codes allocated and shown in the list in C3 apply to transport of the single substance by road or rail. These codes will not necessarily apply for non-transport incidents although they may be used to provide some indication of the action that may be necessary.
C2 Hazchem Codes
NOTE: The Hazchem Code is fully titled “Hazchem Emergency Action Code”. In European publications, it is now frequently referred to simply as “Emergency Action Code” or “EAC”. In Australia it is still commonly known as the Hazchem Code.
C2.1 General
C2.1.1 A Hazchem Code offers guidance on appropriate initial emergency response in a potentially dangerous situation such as leakage, spillage or fire involving the dangerous goods to which it relates.
C2.1.2 The Hazchem Code is composed of a number, followed by one or more letters as detailed in C2.2–C2.65.
C2.1.3 Hazchem Codes are allocated to most dangerous goods in Column 2 of the table at C3.
APPENDICES
C2.1.4 In some cases, there is more than one Hazchem Codeshown in C3 for a single UN number. In each such instance, a notation which is explained at the end of the table indicates how to determine which of the multiple entries applies e.g. for UN 1224 Ketones where two Hazchem Codes are listed – the notation (3) next to the entry 3YE indicates that this Hazchem Code applies only to ketones of packing groups I and II –3Y therefore applies to packing group III.
C2.1.5 Substances in Class 7, i.e. radioactive material, have not been allocated Hazchem Codes.
C2.2 Extinguishing Media
C2.2.1 The firefighting extinguishing media is determined by reference to the first character of the Hazchem Code as follows:
1 denotes coarse water spray
2 denotes fine water spray
3 denotes normal foam i.e. protein based foam that is not alcohol resistant
4 denotes dry agent —water MUST NOT be allowed to come into contact with substance
NOTE: Any higher number than the one shown can be used but a lower number must not be used.
C2.2.2 A bullet ‘•’ sometimes precedes the number 2 or 3 in the list in C3.
•2 and •3, have the following meanings:
•2 denotes that alcohol resistant foam is the preferred firefighting medium but, if it is not available, fine water spray can be used.
•3 denotes that alcohol resistant foam is the preferred firefighting medium but, if it is not available, normal foam can be used.
For example, the Hazchem Code assigned to UN 1193 Ethyl Methyl Ketone in C3 is •2YE. The ‘•’ here indicates to the emergency services that alcohol resistant foam is the preferred firefighting medium. However, if such foam is not available, fine water spray, as the next most effective medium, should be used.
Table C1: Meaning of Second Character of Hazchem Code
NOTE: See C 2.3 to C2.5 for further details.
C2.3 Personal protection
Letter Risk of Violent Reaction or Explosion
Recommended Personal Protective Equipment
Appropriate Measures
P Yes Liquid-tight chemical protective clothing and breathing apparatus
Dilute R No
S Yes Full fire kit and breathing apparatus T No
W Yes Liquid-tight chemical protective clothing and breathing apparatus
Contain X No
Y Yes Full fire kit and breathing apparatus Z No
APPENDICES
C2.3.1 Where the second character of the Hazchem Code is S, T, Y or Z, normal firefighting clothing is appropriate, i.e. self-contained open circuit positive pressure compressed air breathing apparatus, worn in combination with fire kit, firefighters’ gloves and firefighters’ boots.
NOTE 1: Leather boots may not provide adequate chemical resistance and therefore caution should be exercised in their use.
NOTE 2: Letters S, T, Y and Z, which In previous editions of this Code were shown in reverse printing or square brackets for some dangerous goods, are now always shown in normal print, indicating that breathing apparatus should be used for all significant incidents.
NOTE 3: LP Gas, which in previous Codes was assigned a Hazchem Code of 2WE, is now assigned to 2YE in recognition that the most important personal protection from this substance is thermal protection that is best provided by full fire kit, including breathing apparatus.
C2.3.2 Where the second character of the Hazchem Code is P, R, W or X, liquid-tight chemical protective clothing in combination with breathing apparatus specified in C2.3.1, should be used.
C2.3.3 For some substances for which liquid-tight chemical protective clothing is indicated, full fire kit should also be worn for thermal protection. This applies to incidents involving the following substances when they are assigned to P, R, W, or X:
(a) UN 1073 Oxygen, Refrigerated Liquid;
(b) All Division 2.3 Toxic Gases when transported in the liquefied state;
(c) Any Division 2.3 Gas with a Subsidiary Hazard of 2.1 or 5.1;
(d) Class or Subsidiary Hazard 3 liquids;
(e) Division 5.1 substances of packing group I, having a Subsidiary Hazard of 6.1 or 8;
(f) Substances transported at elevated temperature > 100 °C.
However, an incident controller may determine, through a risk based assessment, that full fire kit need not be worn.
C2.4 Violent Reaction
C2.4.1 Where the second character of the Hazchem Code is a P, S, W or Y there is a danger that the substance can be violently or explosively reactive. This danger may be present due to one of the following:
- Violent or explosive decomposition of the material involved, including ignition or friction.
- The ignition of a flammable gas or vapour cloud (this danger exists for all flammable gases and flammable liquids with a flash point below 60 °C)
- The rapid acceleration of combustion due to the involvement of an oxidiser.
- A reaction with water which is itself violent, and may also evolve flammable gases.
APPENDICES
C2.4.2 The actual dangers present can be determined from the placards on vehicles or containers, or by reference to the classes, divisions and subsidiary hazards shown on the transport document.
C2.5 Contain/dilute
Where the second character of an Hazchem Code is W, X, Y or Z spillages and decontamination run-off should be prevented from entering drains and watercourses. Where the second character of the code is P, R, S or T spillages and decontamination run-off may be washed to drains with large quantities of water. Due care must however still be exercised to avoid unnecessary pollution of watercourses.
NOTE 1: Ideally most contamination and decontamination run-off should be contained. However, this will not always be practical for normal emergency services operations, as life-saving operational procedures must take precedence over other considerations at the scene of an incident. Nevertheless, all steps that are reasonably practicable should be taken to contain contaminants and the emergency service should always inform the environmental authority as soon as possible so that appropriate advice can be given.
NOTE 2: Potentially polluting substances, even apparently harmless substances such as food and beverages, can cause serious problems if discharged into a watercourse e.g. 250 litres of a soft drink, milk or beer would constitute a pollutant as it can lead to deoxygenation of the water. Firefighting foams are also a potential source of pollution and their entry into watercourses and drainage systems should be prevented whenever possible.
C2.6 E “Public Safety Hazard”
An ‘E’ following the first two characters of a Hazchem Code indicates that there may be a public safety hazard outside the immediate area of the incident, and that the following actions should be considered:
C2.6.1 People should be warned to stay indoors with all doors and windows closed, preferably in rooms upstairs and facing away from the incident. Ignition sources should be eliminated and any ventilation stopped.
C2.6.2 Effects may spread beyond the immediate vicinity. All non-essential personnel should be instructed to move at least 250 metres away from the incident.
C2.6.3 Police and Fire Brigade incident commanders should consult each other and with a product expert, or with a source of product expertise.
C2.6.4 The possible need for subsequent evacuation should be considered, but it should be remembered that in most cases it will be safer to remain in a building than to evacuate. Some situations where evacuation may be necessary are listed in Table C2.
APPENDICES
Table C2.6: Situations where evacuation may be necessary
EXAMPLES ASSESSMENT
1.(i) Smoke from product fire which is allowed to burn out. (Often the safest and least environmentally damaging option.)
(ii) Small/low concentration long lasting toxic emission.
Nuisance effects will last several hours. Smoke or gas concentrations in open air are unpleasant but short-term exposure is not likely to be dangerous.
2. A larger long lasting toxic gas emission which will be carried towards an inhabited area after a predicted wind change not due for at least two hours.
Area considered for evacuation will not be exposed to significant danger for at least an hour, preferably longer.
3. Evacuation of people from an isolated house in the country may be feasible, possibly using additional BA sets.
Downwind area is very sparsely populated and resources are available to protect people during their evacuation.
4.(i) Righting a loaded road tanker or rail tank wagon, especially one carrying a liquefied gas.
(ii) Recovering or clearing petrol from drains.
Area considered for evacuation could be exposed to danger as a result of actions necessary to restore normality at a time determined by the recovery team.
C2.7 Assigning Hazchem Codes to multi-loads
The following procedure must be used to assign a Hazchem Code to a vehicle or cargo transport unit transporting more than one type of dangerous goods to which different Hazchem Codes are assigned by C3.
C2.7.1 1st character of the code
The number forming the first character of the code for a multi-load is the highest of the numbers occurring in the Hazchem Codes for the individual dangerous goods.
1.- If the 1st character of the calculated multi-load Hazchem Code is 2 or 3 and if one or more of the individual Hazchem Codes has an alcohol resistant bullet include an alcohol resistant bullet in the multi-load Hazchem Code
2.- If the 1st character of the calculated multi-load Hazchem Code is 4 do
not include a bullet, even if one or more of the individual Hazchem Codes includes an alcohol resistant bullet (on the basis that 4 indicates that a dry agent must be used).
C2.7.2 2nd Character of the code
C2.7.2.1 The letter forming the second character of the code should be determined from the first letter of the Hazchem Code for each of the dangerous goods from the chart below.

Table C2.7.2.1: Code chart for determination of Hazchem codes for multi-loads
C2.7.2.2 If the letter forming the second character of the code for each of the dangerous goods is the same, then that letter will automatically form the second character of the Hazchem Code for the multi-load.
C2.7.2.3 If however the letter forming the second character of the code for each of the dangerous goods is different, then one of those letters should be selected along the top row of the chart and then a second letter should be selected down the far left-hand column i.e. the two bold sections. The letter in the square where the appropriate column and row meet is the ‘resultant letter’ for those two substances. If there are only two dangerous goods to be carried in the multi-load, then that resultant letter is the letter forming the second character of the Hazchem Code for that multi-load.
C2.7.2.4 If there are more than two dangerous goods to be carried in the multi-load, then use the ‘resultant letter’ obtained in paragraph C2.7.2.3 along the top row as above and select another letter down the far left-hand column as above. The letter in the square where the appropriate column and row meet is the new ‘resultant letter’. If there are no more dangerous goods to be carried in the multi-load, then that ‘resultant letter’ is the letter forming the second character of the code. If there are any further dangerous goods to be carried then this procedure must be repeated until all the other letters have been used.
C2.7.3 Letter ‘E’
The letter ‘E’ must be included as the third character in the multi-load Hazchem Code if it occurs in the Hazchem Code of any of the dangerous goods to be carried. If the letter ‘E’ does not occur in any of the Hazchem Codes of the dangerous goods to be carried, the Hazchem Code will be just a two character code determined from C2.7.2 above.
Example of how to calculate the Hazchem Code for a multi-load:
There are three substances to be carried as a multi-load, having Hazchem Codes of 3Y, •2S and 4WE.
P R S T W X Y Z
P P P P P W W W W
R P R P R W X W X
S P P S S W W Y Y
T P R S T W X Y Z
W W W W W W W W W
X W X W X W X W X
Y W W Y Y W W Y Y
Z W X Y Z W X Y Z
APPENDICES
1ST CHARACTER (NUMBER)
The first character of the Hazchem Code for each of the three substances is 2, 3 and 4. The highest number must be taken as the first character of the code for the multi-load and therefore the first character will be 4.
Alcohol resistant bullet
The bullet in •2S is not assigned to the mixed load because the first character is 4 (see 2.7.1).
If the example had only included 3Y and •2S the first character would be 3 and the alcohol resistant bullet would be required.
2ND CHARACTER (LETTER)
The second character for the Hazchem Code for each of the three substances is Y, S and W. Taking the Y along the top row of the chart and the S along the left hand column, the intersection is at Y and therefore the character for the first two substances would be Y. This resultant character (Y) is then taken along the top row and the character for the third substance (W) is taken along the left hand column. The intersection point is now W. The second character of the code for the three substances is therefore W.
LETTER ‘E’
The third substance has an ‘E’ as a third character and therefore the multi-load must also have an ‘E’.
The resultant Hazchem Code for the three substances carried as a multi-load will therefore be 4WE.

C4 Hazard Identification Number (HIN)
NOTE: This Section C4 and the HIN listing in C3 are provided for information purposes only.
There is no requirement of this Code to apply a Hazard Identification Number (HIN) to any load of dangerous goods being transported in Australia.
The HIN is usually displayed on portable tanks, bulk containers and some freight containers loaded with dangerous goods sourced from Europe and some other countries. It is displayed in the upper half of the RID/ADR Plate that is placarded on the cargo transport unit, together with the Class label. The UN Number is displayed in the lower half.
Sample RID/ADR Plate for UN 1088 Acetal
The HIN is not strictly an emergency action code. Rather it is a numerical system of identifying the hazard of the dangerous goods in more detail than is provided by the dangerous goods classification alone.
C4.1 The HIN consists of two or three figures. In general, the figures indicate the following hazards:
2 Emissions of gas due to pressure or to chemical reaction
3 Flammability of liquids (vapours) and gases or self-heating liquids
4 Flammability of solids or self-heating solids
5 Oxidising (fire-intensifying) effect
6 Toxicity (or risk of infection)
7 Radioactivity
8 Corrosivity
9 Risk of spontaneous, violent reaction
NOTE 1: The hazards assigned above to numbers ‘4’ to ‘8’ inclusive are similar to the hazards indicated by the same numbers in the United Nations dangerous goods classification system used in this Code
NOTE 2: Spontaneous violent reaction within the meaning of hazard ‘9’ above includes the possibility of the risk of explosion, disintegration and polymerisation reaction with the release of considerable heat or flammable and/or toxic gases.
C4.2 Doubling of a figure indicates an intensification of that particular hazard.
APPENDICES
C4.3 Where the hazard associated with a substance can be adequately indicated by a single figure, this is followed by zero.
C4.4 The following combinations of figures have a special meaning: 22, 323, 333, 362, 382, 423, 44, 446, 462, 482, 539, 606, 623, 642, 823, 842 and 90, (see C4.6).
C4.5 If the letter ‘X’ prefixes a hazard identification number, this indicates that the substance will react dangerously with water. For these substances, water may only be used with the approval of experts.
C4.6 The hazard identification numbers have the following meanings:
20 Asphyxiant gas or gas with no subsidiary hazard
22 Refrigerated liquefied gas, Asphyxiant
223 Refrigerated liquefied gas, flammable
225 Refrigerated liquefied gas, oxidising (fire intensifying)

APPENDIX D: CODE OF PRACTICE FOR REPROCESSING STEEL DRUMS
NOTE 1: This Appendix has the full title ‘Code of Practice for the Reprocessing of Closed Head Steel Drums in the Nominal Capacity Range of 200-220 Litres’. Previous editions were published separately as Supplement 1 to earlier editions of this Code.
NOTE 2: Adherence to this Code of Practice is necessary in order to prevent those reprocessed drums which show unsatisfactory performance characteristics from being used in the transport of dangerous goods.
D1 SCOPE
This mandatory Code of Practice has been prepared by the Advisory Committee on the Transport of Dangerous Goods. It is to be adhered to by those persons reprocessing non-removable head steel drums in the nominal capacity range of between 200 and 220 litres, for second and subsequent use of these drums in the transport of dangerous goods of packing groups II and III.
It recognises the long standing practice of the use of reprocessed drums for the transport of dangerous goods in Australia. The purpose of this Code of Practice is to afford a mechanism to control the quality of drums prior to subsequent use and to that end it sets out:
(a) selection criteria for drums intended for second or subsequent use in transporting dangerous goods; and
(b) reprocessing procedures to which such drums must be subjected.
Reprocessed drums must not be used for dangerous goods of packing group I.
Notwithstanding drums being reprocessed to the requirements of this Code of Practice, the responsibility for the selection and suitability of the drums for a particular purpose remains with the packer.
This Code of Practice is to be read in conjunction with this ADG Code.
D2 DEFINITIONS AND PROHIBITED PRACTICES
Drum for the purposes of this Code of Practice is a flat ended cylindrical receptacle made of metal with filling apertures in the body and/or in the top head, with or without rolling hoops or corrugations and with ends permanently fixed to the body by means such as seaming or welding and has a nominal capacity of 200 to 220 litres and commonly known as a closed or non-removable head steel drum.
In House describes the circumstances where a packer of dangerous goods reuses or launders drums on the packer's premises for the packer's own use but does not make such drums available to others as packagings for dangerous goods.
Launder means the action of washing the exterior and interior of drums and where necessary, repainting the exterior of the drums to obliterate all previous package markings (other than packaging approval markings), with or without chaining or de-scaling the interior prior to filling.
Packer means a person who fills, or causes to be filled, the drum.
APPENDICES
Recondition means the actions of both mechanical repair and laundering of drums involving processes which require reformation to original shape of any component by mechanical means, and repairs of holes by welding, but excludes the process of remaking.
Remake means the action of replacing one or both ends of a drum.
Reuse means the action of in-house refilling of drums with goods of a type chemically similar to the goods initially packed. Reuse does not include laundering, but rinsing and painting, if needed, are permitted.
Reprocess means the actions of either laundering or reconditioning drums.
Rinsing means the action of washing a drum with fluids whose residues need not be removed, other than by drying, before the drum is refilled.
Weld means the action of repairing a hole by welding. Welding does not include the placing of a patch.
Welding is not permitted on the bottom of a drum or within 50mm of a body seam, chime of flange.
Welding of holes longer than 15mm or those caused by corrosion or fatigue is not permitted.
D3 SELECTION OF DRUMS
A drum may be re-used or reprocessed for use with dangerous goods provided that:
(a) the drum is selected for re-use, laundering or reconditioning, or rejection, in accordance with the criteria specified in the selection table in Section D9; and
(b) the drum selected for reprocessing does not exhibit damage to a degree equivalent to those illustrations designated as `NOT ACCEPTABLE’ in the Pictorial Guide in Section D10 of this Code of Practice.
D4 EQUIPMENT
Reprocessors must possess both leak testing equipment and a set of scales. Both of these must be calibrated against Australian StandardsStandards or equivalent and only used within their calibration period. The following equipment is optional:
- washing machine
- spray painting equipment
- chaining or de-scaling equipment
- de-denter
- chime straightener.
Reprocessors who possess either a de-denter or a chime straightener (or both) will be deemed to be reconditioners.
All equipment must be adequately protected to minimise the risk of injury to equipment operators.
APPENDICES
D5 TESTING OF DRUMS
Except for drums which are only being re-used, every drum must be subjected to the following tests before being utilised for the transport of dangerous goods:
D5.1 Leakproofness Test
Description of test:
A pressure of 20kPa must be applied using a test method approved by the Competent Authority.
Criteria for passing the test successfully:
There must be no leakage.
NOTE: Leakproofness testing equipment must be adequately protected to minimise the risk of injury to equipment operators.
D5.2 Tare Weight Test
Description of test:
The clean empty reprocessed drum must be weighted to an accuracy of +/- 0.1 kg.
Criteria for passing the test successfully:
The mass of the drum must be not less than 15.5kg.
D6 MARKING OF DRUMS
Drums reprocessed in accordance with this Code of Practice must be marked in accordance with Section 6.1.3.
D7 APPROVAL OF REPROCESSORS
Each reprocessing facility must be approved as a laundering or reconditioning facility by the Competent Authority in whose jurisdiction the facility is located.
NOTE: Details of approved drum reprocessors can be obtained from the Competent Authority.
The following steps must be undertaken to obtain approval:
(a) The reprocessor must make an application for approval to the Competent Authority. The application must be in writing and will:
(i) nominate responsible persons in charge of the reprocessing operation;
(ii) list the reprocessing equipment in the facility; (Essential and optional equipment for reprocessors is listed at D4 of this Code of Practice)
(iii) verify that all reprocessed drums, prior to being placed into dangerous goods service will have:
- had their tare mass determined;
- passed through all necessary processes in this Code of Practice; and
- been leak tested;
(iv) nominate an identifying mark for use under D6.

premises and witness all the equipment listed under (a)(ii) in operation. (The level of equipment will depend on whether a reconditioner or launderer is being inspected). For this inspection, leak testing equipment must be set up and equipped with an accurate gauge.
(c) If satisfied with the site inspection under (b) the Competent Authority will grant written approval to the reprocessor. The approval will include a confirmation of the identifying mark nominated in (a)(iv) and advice of approval as a `reconditioner' or a `launderer'.
(d) The Competent Authority will fully re-inspect the reprocessor's premises at least biennially.
D8 TRAINING
It is a requirement of this Code of Practice that reprocessor's staff involved in the reprocessing of drums for use in the transport of dangerous goods are trained in the drum selection procedures and the procedures for reprocessing and testing contained in this Code of Practice.
D9 DRUM AND PROCESS SELECTION
To be suitable for reuse, laundering or reconditioning for packaging dangerous goods, a drum must:
(a) be an approved drum, complying with Chapter 6.1 of this Code, as verified by markings in accordance with 6.1.3;
(b) have a minimum tare mass of 15.5 kg; and
(c) not be damaged to such an extent that, after reprocessing, it may not be capable of meeting the performance tests of this Code applicable to drums for their intended service.
Detailed criteria to be applied to the selection of drum suitable for reprocessing are provided in Table D overleaf. This table also indicates what processing is required for different types of damage.
This table should be used for segregating drums into those to be reused and those which are candidates for reprocessing or rejection.
The pictorial guide provided at D10, must be used to assist in interpreting damage levels referred to in Table D.

APPENDICES
Key to Table D:
1. `Approved' means the drum has been originally approved in accordance with this Code and is marked accordingly.
2. Denotes an acceptable option.
3. Denotes mandatory action.
NOTE: Any drum, irrespective of the extent of damage, may be rejected.
D10 PICTORIAL GUIDE
This section provides illustrations of drums which have been used for the transport of dangerous goods and have suffered varying degrees of damage. The reprocessor must examine each drum received to determine the extent of its damage and the type of reprocessing to be undertaken in order to render it suitable to be used in the transport of dangerous goods.
The illustrations are designed to provide guidance to reprocessors in the selection of drums based on the condition of the drum. Drums suffering damage to a degree equivalent to those illustrations designated as `NOT ACCEPTABLE' must not be reprocessed for use with dangerous goods. The illustrations have been reproduced, with permission, from the Shell publication `Guidelines for the Selection of Used Drums'.
This pictorial guide should be used in conjunction with the Selection Guide in Table D.
APPENDICES
Figure D1: Reprocessing steel drums – dents
A large dent. NOT ACCEPTABLE
The dent is too deep to be blown out satisfactorily. Note the damage to the swedged rolling hoops. These sharp indents are potential leak areas.
Major body denting. NOT ACCEPTABLE
The dents cannot be blown out. Note the damage to the swedged rolling hoops. The sharp indentations will be the site of leaks.
Deep dents. NOT ACCEPTABLE
The 5 dents shown in the photo are too deep to be blown out successfully. Note the sharp dents in both swedged rolling hoops, which are potential leak areas.
Shallow dents. ACCEPTABLE.
Can be blown out sufficiently to make the drum usable.
APPENDICES
Figure D2: Reprocessing steel drums – chime and head damage
Two photos of the same damage. NOT ACCEPTABLE.
Dent in chime is too deep to be rolled out. Any attempt will result in splitting of chime and cracking of the drum body.
NOT ACCEPTABLE.
The chime dent can be hammered out to enable the drum to fit the rollers. The dent can then be rolled out further but in doing so the buckles in the head could be cut by the rollers resulting in leaks.
NOT ACCEPTABLE.
The chime cannot be re-rolled nor can the dent in the body be blown out.
