While this represents a potential to bioaccumulate, an

experimentally determined Bioconcentration Factor (BCF) provides

a better measure and shall be used in preference when available.

A BCF shall be determined according to OECD Test Guideline

305.

2.2.9.1.10.2.5

Environmental degradation may be biotic or abiotic (e.g.

hydrolysis) and the criteria used reflect this fact. Ready

biodegradation is most easily defined using the OECD

biodegradability tests (OECD Test Guideline 301 (A - F)). A pass

level in these tests may be considered as indicative of rapid

degradation in most environments. These are freshwater tests and

thus the use of the results from OECD Test Guideline 306, which

is more suitable for marine environments, has also been included.

Where such data are not available, a BOD5

(5 days)/COD ratio ≥ 0.5 is considered as indicative of

rapid degradation.

Abiotic degradation such as

hydrolysis, primary degradation, both abiotic and biotic,

degradation in non-aquatic media and proven rapid degradation in

the environment may all be considered in defining rapid

degradability12.

12 Special guidance on

data interpretation is provided in Chapter 4.1 and Annex 9 of the

GHS.

Substances are considered rapidly

degradable in the environment if the following criteria are

met:

(a) In 28-day ready biodegradation

studies, the following levels of degradation are achieved:

(i) Tests based on dissolved

organic carbon: 70%;

(ii) Tests based on oxygen

depletion or carbon dioxide generation: 60% of theoretical

maxima;

These levels of biodegradation

shall be achieved within 10 days of the start of degradation

which point is taken as the time when 10% of the substance has

been degraded; or

(b) In those cases where only BOD

and COD data are available, when the ratio of BOD5/COD

is ≥ 0.5; or

evidence is available to demonstrate that the substance or

mixture can be degraded (biotically and/or abiotically) in the

aquatic environment to a level above 70% within a 28 day

period.

2.2.9.1.10.2.6 Chronic

toxicity data are less available than acute data and the

range of testing procedures less standardised. Data generated

according to the OECD Test Guidelines 210 (Fish Early Life Stage)

or 211 (Daphnia Reproduction) and 201 (Algal Growth Inhibition)

may be accepted. Other validated and internationally accepted

tests may also be used. The "No Observed Effect Concentrations"

(NOECs) or other equivalent L(E)Cx shall be used.

2.2.9.1.10.3

Substance classification categories and criteria

Substances shall be classified as

"environmentally hazardous substances (aquatic environment)", if

they satisfy the criteria for Acute 1, Chronic 1 or Chronic 2,

according to the following Tables:

2.2.9.1.10.4

Mixtures classification categories and criteria

2.2.9.1.10.4.1 The

classification system for mixtures covers the classification

categories which are used for substances meaning acute category 1

and chronic categories 1 and 2. In order to make use of all

available data for purposes of classifying the aquatic

environmental hazards of the mixture, the following assumption is

made and is applied where appropriate:

The "relevant ingredients" of a

mixture are those which are present in a concentration of 1% (by

mass) or greater, unless there is a presumption (e.g. in the case

of highly toxic ingredients) that an ingredient present at less

than 1% can still be relevant for classifying the mixture for

aquatic environmental hazards.

2.2.9.1.10.4.2 The approach

for classification of aquatic environmental hazards is tiered,

and is dependent upon the type of information available for the

mixture itself and for its ingredients. Elements of the tiered

approach include:

(a) Classification based on tested

mixtures;

(b) Classification based on

bridging principles;

classified ingredients" and/or an "additivity formula".

Figure 2.2.9.1.10.4.2 below

outlines the process to be followed.

Figure

2.2.9.1.10.4.2: Tiered approach to classification of mixtures for

acute and chronic aquatic environmental hazards

2.2.9.1.10.4.3

Classification of mixtures when data are available for the

complete mixture

2.2.9.1.10.4.3.1 When the

mixture as a whole has been tested to determine its aquatic

toxicity, it shall be classified according to the criteria that

have been agreed for substances, but only for acute toxicity. The

classification is based on the data for fish, crustacea and

algae/plants. Classification of mixtures by using LC50

or EC50 data for the mixture as a whole is not

possible for chronic categories since both toxicity data and

environmental fate data are needed, and there are no

degradability and bioaccumulation data for mixtures as a whole.

It is not possible to apply the criteria for chronic

classification because the data from degradability and

bioaccumulation tests of mixtures cannot be interpreted; they are

meaningful only for single substances.

2.2.9.1.10.4.3.2 When there

are acute toxicity test data (LC50 or EC50)

available for the mixture as a whole, these data as well as

information with respect to the classification of ingredients for

chronic toxicity shall be used to complete the classification for

tested mixtures as follows. When chronic (long term) toxicity

data (NOEC) are also available, they shall be used as well.

(a) L(E)C50

(LC50 or EC50) of the tested mixture ≤

1 mg/l and NOEC of the tested mixture ≤ 1.0 mg/l or

unknown:

- classify mixture as category

acute 1;

- apply summation of classified

ingredients approach (see 2.2.9.1.10.4.6.3 and 2.2.9.1.10.4.6.4)

for chronic classification (chronic 1, 2, or no need of chronic

classification);

(b) L(E)C50 of the

tested mixture ≤ 1 mg/l and NOEC of the tested mixture

> 1.0 mg/l:

- classify mixture as category

acute 1;

- apply summation of classified

ingredients approach (see 2.2.9.1.10.4.6.3 and 2.2.9.1.10.4.6.4)

for classification as category chronic 1. If the mixture is not

classified as category chronic 1, then there is no need for

chronic classification;

tested mixture > 1 mg/l, or above the water solubility,

and NOEC of the tested mixture ≤ 1.0 mg/l or unknown:

- no need to classify for acute

toxicity;

- apply summation of classified

ingredients approach (see 2.2.9.1.10.4.6.3 and 2.2.9.1.10.4.6.4)

for chronic classification or no need for chronic

classification;

(d) L(E)C50 of the

tested mixture > 1 mg/l, or above the water solubility,

and NOEC of the tested mixture > 1.0 mg/l:

- No need to classify for acute or

chronic toxicity.

2.2.9.1.10.4.4

Bridging principles

2.2.9.1.10.4.4.1 Where the

mixture itself has not been tested to determine its aquatic

environmental hazard, but there are sufficient data on the

individual ingredients and similar tested mixtures to adequately

characterise the hazards of the mixture, these data shall be used

in accordance with the following agreed bridging rules. This

ensures that the classification process uses the available data

to the greatest extent possible in characterising the hazards of

the mixture without the necessity for additional testing in

animals.

2.2.9.1.10.4.4.2

Dilution

2.2.9.1.10.4.4.2.1 If a

mixture is formed by diluting another classified mixture or a

substance with a diluent which has an equivalent or lower aquatic

hazard classification than the least toxic original ingredient

and which is not expected to affect the aquatic hazards of other

ingredients, then the mixture shall be classified as equivalent

to the original mixture or substance.

2.2.9.1.10.4.4.2.2 If a

mixture is formed by diluting another classified mixture or a

substance with water or other totally non-toxic material, the

toxicity of the mixture shall be calculated from the original

mixture or substance.

2.2.9.1.10.4.4.3

Batching

The aquatic hazard classification

of one production batch of a complex mixture shall be assumed to

be substantially equivalent to that of another production batch

of the same commercial product and produced by or under the

control of the same manufacturer, unless there is reason to

believe there is significant variation such that the aquatic

hazard classification of the batch has changed. If the latter

occurs, new classification is necessary.

2.2.9.1.10.4.4.4

Concentration of mixtures which are classified with the most

severe classification categories (chronic 1 and acute 1)

If a mixture is classified as

chronic 1 and/or acute 1, and ingredients of the mixture which

are classified as chronic 1 and/or acute 1 are further

concentrated, the more concentrated mixture shall be classified

with the same classification category as the original mixture

without additional testing.

2.2.9.1.10.4.4.5

Interpolation within one toxicity category

If mixtures A and B are in the

same classification category and mixture C is made in which the

toxicologically active ingredients have concentrations

intermediate to those in mixtures A and B, then mixture C shall

be in the same category as A and B. Note that the identity of the

ingredients is the same in all three mixtures.

2.2.9.1.10.4.4.6

Substantially similar mixtures

Given the following:

(a) two mixtures:

(i) A + B;

(ii) C + B;

(b) the concentration of

ingredient B is the same in both mixtures;

ingredient A in mixture (i) equals that of ingredient C in

mixture (ii);

(d) classification for A and C are

available and are the same, i.e. they are in the same hazard

category and are not expected to affect the aquatic toxicity of

then there shall be no need to

test mixture (ii) if mixture (i) is already characterised by

testing and both mixtures are classified in the same

category.

2.2.9.1.10.4.5

Classification of mixtures when data are available for all

ingredients or only for some ingredients of the mixture

2.2.9.1.10.4.5.1 The

classification of a mixture shall be based on summation of the

concentrations of its classified ingredients. The percentage of

ingredients classified as "Acute" or "Chronic" will feed straight

into the summation method. Details of the summation method are

described in 2.2.9.1.10.4.6.1 to 2.2.9.1.10.4.6.4.

2.2.9.1.10.4.5.2 Mixtures

may be made of a combination of both ingredients that are

classified (as Acute 1 and/or Chronic 1, 2) and those for which

adequate test data are available. When adequate toxicity data are

available for more than one ingredient in the mixture, the

combined toxicity of those ingredients shall be calculated using

the following additivity formula, and the calculated toxicity

shall be used to assign that portion of the mixture an acute

toxicity hazard which is then subsequently used in applying the

summation method.

∑Ci

∑

L(E)C50m

L(E)C50i

where:

Ci = concentration of

ingredient i (mass percentage);

L(E)C50i = (mg/l)

LC50 or EC50 for ingredient i;

n = number of ingredients, and i

is running from 1 to n;

L(E)C50m =

L(E)C50 of the part of the mixture with test data.

2.2.9.1.10.4.5.3 When

applying the additivity formula for part of the mixture, it is

preferable to calculate the toxicity of this part of the mixture

using for each substance toxicity values that relate to the same

species (i.e. fish, daphnia or algae) and then to use the highest

toxicity (lowest value) obtained (i.e. use the most sensitive of

the three species). However, when toxicity data for each

ingredient are not available in the same species, the toxicity

value of each ingredient shall be selected in the same manner

that toxicity values are selected for the classification of

substances, i.e. the higher toxicity (from the most sensitive

test organism) is used. The calculated acute toxicity shall then

be used to classify this part of the mixture as Acute 1 using the

same criteria described for substances.

2.2.9.1.10.4.5.4 If a

mixture is classified in more than one way, the method yielding

the more conservative result shall be used.

2.2.9.1.10.4.6

Summation method

2.2.9.1.10.4.6.1

Classification procedure

In general a more severe

classification for mixtures overrides a less severe

classification, e.g. a classification with chronic 1 overrides a

classification with chronic 2. As a consequence the

classification procedure is already completed if the result of

the classification is chronic 1. A more severe classification

than chronic 1 is not possible; therefore, it is not necessary to

pursue the classification procedure further.

2.2.9.1.10.4.6.2

Classification for the acute category 1

2.2.9.1.10.4.6.2.1 All

ingredients classified as acute 1 shall be considered. If the sum

of these ingredients is greater than or equal to 25% the whole

mixture shall be classified as category acute 1. If the result of

the calculation is a classification of the mixture as category

acute 1, the classification process is completed.

2.2.9.1.10.4.6.2.2 The

classification of mixtures for acute hazards based on this

summation of classified ingredients, is summarised in Table

2.2.9.1.10.4.6.2.2 below.

hazards, based on summation of classified ingredients

the M factor, see 2.2.9.1.10.4.6.4.

2.2.9.1.10.4.6.3

Classification for the chronic categories 1, 2

2.2.9.1.10.4.6.3.1 First,

all ingredients classified as chronic 1 are considered. If the

sum of these ingredients is greater than or equal to 25% the

mixture shall be classified as category chronic 1. If the result

of the calculation is a classification of the mixture as category

chronic 1 the classification procedure is completed.

2.2.9.1.10.4.6.3.2 In cases

where the mixture is not classified as chronic 1, classification

of the mixture as chronic 2 is considered. A mixture shall be

classified as chronic 2 if 10 times the sum of all ingredients

classified as chronic 1 plus the sum of all ingredients

classified as chronic 2 is greater than or equal to 25%. If the

result of the calculation is classification of the mixture as

chronic 2, the classification process is completed.

2.2.9.1.10.4.6.3.3 The

classification of mixtures for chronic hazards, based on this

summation of classified ingredients, is summarised in Table

2.2.9.1.10.4.6.3.3 below.

Table

hazards, based on summation of classified ingredients

Chronic 1 x M(a) ≥

(M x 10 x Chronic 1) + Chronic

2 ≥ 25 %

Chronic 2

(a) For explanation of

the M factor, see 2.2.9.1.10.4.6.4.

2.2.9.1.10.4.6.4 Mixtures

with highly toxic ingredients

Category acute 1 ingredients with

toxicities well below 1 mg/l may influence the toxicity of the

mixture and are given increased weight in applying the summation

method. When a mixture contains ingredients classified as acute 1

or chronic 1, the tiered approach described in 2.2.9.1.10.4.6.2

and 2.2.9.1.10.4.6.3 shall be applied using a weighted sum by

multiplying the concentrations of acute 1 ingredients by a

factor, instead of merely adding up the percentages. This means

that the concentration of "Acute 1" in the left column of Table

2.2.9.1.10.4.6.2.2 and the concentration of "Chronic 1" in the

left column of Table 2.2.9.1.10.4.6.3.3 are multiplied by the

appropriate multiplying factor. The multiplying factors to be

applied to these ingredients are defined using the toxicity

value, as summarised in Table 2.2.9.1.10.4.6.4 below. Therefore,

in order to classify a mixture containing acute 1 and/or chronic

1 ingredients, the classifier needs to be informed of the value

of the M factor in order to apply the summation method.

Alternatively, the additivity formula (see 2.2.9.1.10.4.5.2) may

be used when toxicity data are available for all highly toxic

ingredients in the mixture and there is convincing evidence that

all other ingredients, including those for which specific acute

toxicity data are not available, are of low or no toxicity and do

not significantly contribute to the environmental hazard of the

mixture.

Classification of mixtures with ingredients without any useable

information

In the event that no useable

information on acute and/or chronic aquatic hazard is available

for one or more relevant ingredients, it is concluded that the

mixture cannot be attributed (a) definitive hazard category(ies).

In this situation the mixture shall be classified based on the

known ingredients only with the additional statement that: "x

percent of the mixture consists of ingredient(s) of unknown

hazard to the aquatic environment".

2.2.9.1.10.5

otherwise classified under RID

(f) Any other requirements to be

met for initial filling and refilling including the type of

equipment to be used for initial filling and refilling.

The fuel cell cartridges shall be

designed and constructed to prevent fuel leakage under normal

conditions of carriage. Each cartridge design type, including

cartridges integral to a fuel cell, shall be subjected to and

shall pass the following tests:

Drop test

A 1.8 metre drop test onto an

unyielding surface in four different orientations:

(a) Vertically, on the end

containing the shut-off valve assembly;

(b) Vertically, on the end

opposite to the shut-off valve assembly;

apex with a diameter of 38 mm, with the steel apex in the

upward position; and

(d) At a 45° angle on the end

containing the shut-off valve assembly.

There shall be no leakage,

determined by using a soap bubble solution or other equivalent

means on all possible leak locations, when the cartridge is

charged to its rated charging pressure. The fuel cell cartridge

shall then be hydrostatically pressurized to destruction. The

recorded burst pressure shall exceed 85% of the minimum shell

burst pressure.

Fire test

A fuel cell cartridge filled to

rated capacity with hydrogen shall be subjected to a fire

engulfment test. The cartridge design, which may include a vent

feature integral to it, is deemed to have passed the fire test

if:

(a) The internal pressure vents to

zero gauge pressure without rupture of the cartridge; or

(b) The cartridge withstands the

fire for a minimum of 20 minutes without rupture.

Hydrogen

cycling test

This test is intended to ensure

that a fuel cell cartridge design stress limits are not exceeded

during use.

The fuel cell cartridge shall be

cycled from not more than 5% rated hydrogen capacity to not less

than 95% rated hydrogen capacity and back to not more than 5%

rated hydrogen capacity. The rated charging pressure shall be

used for charging and temperatures shall be held within the

operating temperature range. The cycling shall be continued for

at least 100 cycles.

Following the cycling test, the

fuel cell cartridge shall be charged and the water volume

displaced by the cartridge shall be measured. The cartridge

design is deemed to have passed the hydrogen cycling test if the

water volume displaced by the cycled cartridge does not exceed

the water volume displaced by an uncycled cartridge charged to

95% rated capacity and pressurized to 75% of its minimum shell

burst pressure.

Production leak

test

Each fuel cell cartridge shall be

tested for leaks at 15 °C ± 5 °C, while pressurized to

its rated charging pressure. There shall be no leakage,

determined by using a soap bubble solution or other equivalent

means on all possible leak locations.

Each fuel cell cartridge shall be

permanently marked with the following information:

(a) The rated charging pressure in

MPa;

(b) The manufacturer's serial

number of the fuel cell cartridges or unique identification

number; and

3.5

Dangerous Goods

packed in excepted quantities

3.5.1 Excepted

quantities

3.5.1.1 Excepted quantities

of dangerous goods of certain classes, other than articles,

meeting the provisions of this Chapter are not subject to any

other provisions of RID except for:

(a) The training requirements in

Chapter 1.3;

(b) The classification procedures

and packing group criteria in Part 2;

4.1.1.1, 4.1.1.2, 4.1.1.4 and 4.1.1.6.

which may be carried as excepted quantities in accordance with

the provisions of this Chapter are shown in column (7b) of Table

A of Chapter 3.2 list by means of an alphanumeric code as

follows:

Code

Maximum net quantity per

inner packaging

(in grams for solids and ml for

liquids and gases)

Maximum net quantity per

outer packaging

(in grams for solids and ml for

liquids and gases, or sum of grams and ml in the case of

mixed packing)

Not permitted as Excepted

Quantity

1000

500

300

500

300

For gases, the volume indicated

for inner packagings refers to the water capacity of the inner

receptacle and the volume indicated for outer packagings refers

to the combined water capacity of all inner packagings within a

single outer packaging.

3.5.1.3 Where dangerous

goods in excepted quantities for which different codes are

assigned are packaged together the total quantity per outer

packaging shall be limited to that corresponding to the most

restrictive code.

3.5.2

Packagings

Packagings used for the carriage

of dangerous goods in excepted quantities shall be in compliance

with the following:

(a) There shall be an inner

packaging and each inner packaging shall be constructed of

plastic (with a minimum thickness of 0.2 mm when used for

liquids), or of glass, porcelain, stoneware, earthenware or metal

(see also 4.1.1.2) and the closure of each inner packaging shall

be held securely in place with wire, tape or other positive

means; any receptacle having a neck with moulded screw threads

shall have a leak proof threaded type cap. The closure shall be

resistant to the contents;

(b) Each inner packaging shall be

securely packed in an intermediate packaging with cushioning

material in such a way that, under normal conditions of carriage,

they cannot break, be punctured or leak their contents. The

intermediate packaging shall completely contain the contents in

case of breakage or leakage, regardless of package orientation.

For liquids, the intermediate packaging shall contain sufficient

absorb ent material to absorb the entire contents of the inner

packaging. In such cases, the absorbent material may be the

cushioning material. Dangerous goods shall not react dangerously

with cushioning, absorbent material and packaging material or

reduce the integrity or function of the materials;

shall be securely packed in a strong, rigid outer packaging

(wooden, fibre board or other equally strong material);

(d) Each package type shall be in

compliance with the provisions in 3.5.3;

(e) Each package shall be of such

a size that there is adequate space to apply all necessary

markings; and

(f) Overpacks may be used and may

also contain packages of dangerous goods or goods not subject to

the requirements of RID.

3.5.3 Tests for

packages

3.5.3.1 The complete

package as prepared for carriage, with inner packagings filled to

not less than 95% of their capacity for solids or 98% for

liquids, shall be capable of withstanding, as demonstrated by

testing which is appropriately documented, without breakage or

leakage of any inner packaging and without significant reduction

in effectiveness:

(a) Drops onto a rigid,

non-resilient flat and horizontal surface from a height of

1.8 m:

(i) Where the sample is in the

shape of a box, it shall be dropped in each of the following

orientations:

- flat on the base;

- flat on the top;

- flat on the longest side;

- flat on the shortest side;

- on a corner;

(ii) Where the sample is in the

shape of a drum, it shall be dropped in each of the following

orientations:

- diagonally on the top chime,

with the centre of gravity directly above the point of

impact;

- diagonally on the base

chime;

- flat on the side;

NOTE: Each of the above

drops may be performed on different but identical packages.

(b) A force applied to the top

surface for a duration of 24 hours, equivalent to the total

weight of identical packages if stacked to a height of 3 m

(including the sample).

3.5.3.2 For the purposes of

testing, the substances to be carried in the packaging may be

replaced by other substances except where this would invalidate

the results of the tests. For solids, when another substance is

used, it must have the same physical characteristics (mass, grain

size, etc.) as the substance to be carried. In the drop tests for

liquids, when another substance is used, its relative density

(specific gravity) and viscosity should be similar to those of

the substance to be carried.

3.5.4 Marking

of packages

3.5.4.1 Packages containing

excepted quantities of dangerous goods prepared in accordance

with this Chapter shall be durably and legibly marked with the

mark shown in 3.5.4.2. The first or only label number indicated

in column (5) of Table A of Chapter 3.2 for each of the dangerous

goods contained in the package shall be shown in the mark. Where

the name of the consignor or consignee is not shown elsewhere on

the package this information shall be included within the

mark.

the mark shall be a minimum of 100 mm × 100 mm.

Excepted quantities mark

Hatching and symbol of the same

colour, black or red, on white or suitable

contrasting background

* The first or only label number

indicated in column (5) of Table A of Chapter 3.2 shall be shown

in this location.

** The name of the consignor or of

the consignee shall be shown in this location if not shown

elsewhere on the package.

3.5.4.3 An overpack

containing dangerous goods in excepted quantities shall display

the markings required by 3.5.4.1, unless such markings on

packages within the overpack are clearly visible.

3.5.5 Maximum

number of packages in any wagon or container

The number of packages in any

wagon or container shall not exceed 1 000.

3.5.6

"5.1.5.3 Determination of

transport index (TI) and criticality safety index (CSI)

5.1.5.3.1 The transport

index (TI) for a package, overpack or container, or for

unpackaged LSA-I or SCO-I, shall be the number derived in

accordance with the following procedure:

(a) Determine the maximum

radiation level in units of millisieverts per hour (mSv/h) at a

distance of 1 m from the external surfaces of the package,

overpack, container, or unpackaged LSA-I and SCO-I. The value

determined shall be multiplied by 100 and the resulting number is

the transport index.

For uranium and thorium ores and

their concentrates, the maximum radiation level at any point

1 m from the external surface of the load may be taken

as:

0.4 mSv/h for ores and

physical concentrates of uranium and thorium;

0.3 mSv/h for chemical

concentrates of thorium;

0.02 mSv/h for chemical

concentrates of uranium, other than uranium hexafluoride;

(b) For tanks, containers and

unpackaged LSA-I and SCO-I, the value determined in step (a)

above shall be multiplied by the appropriate factor from Table

5.1.5.3.1;

(a) and (b) above shall be rounded up to the first decimal place

(e.g. 1.13 becomes 1.2), except that a value of 0.05 or less may

5.1.5.3.2 The transport

index for each overpack, container or wagon shall be determined

as either the sum of the TIs of all the packages contained, or by

direct measurement of radiation level, except in the case of

non-rigid overpacks for which the transport index shall be

determined only as the sum of the TIs of all the packages.

5.1.5.3.3 The criticality

safety index for each overpack or container shall be determined

as the sum of the CSIs of all the packages contained. The same

procedure shall be followed for determining the total sum of the

CSIs in a consignment or aboard a wagon.

5.1.5.3.4 Packages and

overpacks shall be assigned to either category I-WHITE, II-YELLOW

or III-YELLOW in accordance with the conditions specified in

Table 5.1.5.3.4 and with the following requirements:

(a) For a package or overpack,

both the transport index and the surface radiation level

conditions shall be taken into account in determining which is

the appropriate category. Where the transport index satisfies the

condition for one category but the surface radiation level

satisfies the condition for a different category, the package or

overpack shall be assigned to the higher category. For this

purpose, category I-WHITE shall be regarded as the lowest

category;

(b) The transport index shall be

determined following the procedures specified in 5.1.5.3.1 and

5.1.5.3.2;

is greater than 2 mSv/h, the package or overpack shall be

carried under exclusive use and under the provisions of 7.5.11,

(d) A package carried under a

special arrangement shall be assigned to category III-YELLOW

except when otherwise specified in the competent authority

approval certificate of the country of origin of design (see

2.2.7.2.4.6);

(e) An overpack which contains

packages carried under special arrangement shall be assigned to

category III-YELLOW except when otherwise specified in the

6.2.5.3 Metal

cylinders, tubes, pressure drums and bundles of cylinders

At the test pressure, the stress

in the metal at the most severely stressed point of the pressure

receptacle shall not exceed 77% of the guaranteed minimum yield

stress (Re).

"Yield stress" means the stress at

which a permanent elongation of 2 per thousand (i.e. 0.2%) or,

for austenitic steels, 1% of the gauge length on the test-piece,

has been produced.

NOTE: In the case of

sheet-metal the axis of the tensile test-piece shall be at right

angles to the direction of rolling. The permanent elongation at

fracture, shall be measured on a test-piece of circular

cross-section in which the gauge length "l" is equal to five

times the diameter "d" (l = 5d); if test pieces of

rectangular cross-section are used, the gauge length "l" shall be

calculated by the formula:

l = 5.65√F0

where F0 indicates the

initial cross-sectional area of the test-piece.

Pressure receptacles and their

closures shall be made of suitable materials which shall be

resistant to brittle fracture and to stress corrosion cracking

between -20 °C and +50 °C.

Welds shall be skilfully made and

shall afford the fullest safety.

The actual properties will depend

on the composition of the alloy concerned and on the final

treatment of the pressure receptacle, but whatever alloy is used

the thickness of the pressure receptacle shall be calculated by

one of the following formulae:

e =

PMPa × D

e =

Pbar × D

2 × Re

PMPa

20 × Re

+Pbar

where

e = minimum thickness of pressure

receptacle wall, in mm

PMPa = test pressure,

in MPa

Pbar = test pressure,

in bar

D = nominal external diameter of

the pressure receptacle, in mm

and

Re = guaranteed minimum proof

stress with 0.2% proof stress, in MPa

(= N/mm2)

In addition, the value of the

minimum guaranteed proof stress (Re) introduced into the formula

is in no case to be greater than 0.85 times the guaranteed

minimum tensile strength (Rm), whatever the type of alloy

used.

NOTE 1: The above

characteristics are based on previous experience with the

following materials used for pressure receptacles:

Column A: Aluminium, unalloyed,

99.5% pure;

Column B: Alloys of aluminium and

magnesium;

Column C: Alloys of aluminium,

silicon and magnesium, such as ISO/R209-Al-Si-Mg (Aluminium

Association 6351);

Column D: Alloys of aluminium,

copper and magnesium.

2: The permanent elongation

at fracture is measured by means of test-pieces of circular

cross-section in which the gauge length "l" is equal to five

times the diameter "d" (l = 5d); if test-pieces of

rectangular section are used the gauge length shall be calculated

by the formula:

l = 5.65√F0

where Fo is the initial

cross-section area of the test-piece.

3: (a) The bend test (see

diagram) shall be carried out on specimens obtained by cutting

into two equal parts of width 3e, but in no case less than

25 mm, an annular section of a cylinder. The specimens shall

not be machined elsewhere than on the edges;

(b) The bend test shall be carried

out between a mandrel of diameter (d) and two circular supports

separated by a distance of (d + 3e). During the test the inner

faces shall be separated by a distance not greater than the

diameter of the mandrel;

cracks when it has been bent inwards around the mandrel until the

inner faces are separated by a distance not greater than the

diameter of the mandrel;

(d) The ratio (n) between the

diameter of the mandrel and the thickness of the specimen shall

conform to the values given in the Table.

Diagram of bend test

6.2.5.4.2 A lower minimum

elongation value is acceptable on condition that an additional

test approved by the competent authority of the country in which

the pressure receptacles are made proves that safety of carriage

is ensured to the same extent as in the case of pressure

receptacles constructed to comply with the characteristics given

in the Table in 6.2.5.4.1 (see also EN 1975:1999 +

A1:2003).

6.2.5.4.3 The wall

thickness of the pressure receptacles at the thinnest point shall

be the following:

- where the diameter of the

pressure receptacle is less than 50 mm: not less than

1.5 mm;

- where the diameter of the

pressure receptacle is from 50 to 150 mm: not less than

2 mm; and

- where the diameter of the

pressure receptacle is more than 150 mm: not less than

3 mm.

6.2.5.4.4 The ends of the

pressure receptacles shall have a semicircular, elliptical or

"basket-handle" section; they shall afford the same degree of

safety as the body of the pressure receptacle.

6.2.5.5

Pressure receptacles in composite materials

For cylinders, tubes, pressure

drums and bundles of cylinders which make use of composite

materials, the construction shall be such that a minimum burst

ratio (burst pressure divided by test pressure) is:

- 1.67 for hoop wrapped pressure

receptacles;

- 2.00 for fully wrapped pressure

receptacles.

6.2.5.6 Closed

cryogenic receptacles

The following requirements apply

to the construction of closed cryogenic receptacles for

refrigerated liquefied gases:

6.2.5.6.1 If non-metallic

materials are used, they shall resist brittle fracture at the

lowest working temperature of the pressure receptacle and its

fittings.

6.2.5.6.2 The pressure

relief devices shall be so constructed as to work perfectly even

at their lowest working temperature. Their reliability of

functioning at that temperature shall be established and checked

by testing each device or a sample of devices of the same type of

construction.

6.2.5.6.3 The vents and

pressure relief devices of pressure receptacles shall be so

designed as to prevent the liquid from splashing out.

6.2.6 General

requirements for aerosol dispensers, small receptacles containing

gas (gas cartridges) and fuel cell cartridges containing

liquefied flammable gas

6.2.6.1 Design

and construction

6.2.6.1.1 Aerosol

dispensers (UN No. 1950 aerosols) containing only

a gas or a mixture of gases, and small receptacles containing gas

(gas cartridges) (UN No. 2037), shall be made of metal.

This requirement shall not apply to aerosols and small

receptacles containing gas (gas cartridges) with a maximum

capacity of 100 ml for UN No. 1011 butane. Other

aerosol dispensers (UN No. 1950 aerosols) shall be made

of metal, synthetic material or glass. Receptacles made of metal

and having an outside diameter of not less than 40 mm shall

have a concave bottom.

6.2.6.1.2 The capacity of

receptacles made of metal shall not exceed 1 000 ml;

that of receptacles made of synthetic material or of glass shall

not exceed 500 ml.

6.2.6.1.3 Each model of

receptacles (aerosol dispensers or cartridges) shall, before

being put into service, satisfy a hydraulic pressure test carried

out in conformity with 6.2.6.2.

6.2.6.1.4 The release

valves and dispersal devices of aerosol dispensers

(UN No. 1950 aerosols) and the valves of

UN No. 2037 small receptacles containing gas (gas

cartridges) shall ensure that the receptacles are so closed as to

be leakproof and shall be protected against accidental opening.

Valves and dispersal devices which close only by the action of

the internal pressure are not to be accepted.

6.2.6.1.5 The internal

pressure at 50 °C shall exceed neither two-thirds of the

test pressure nor 1.32 MPa (13.2 bar). Aerosol

dispensers and small receptacles containing gas (gas cartridges)

shall be so filled that at 50 °C the liquid phase does not

exceed 95% of their capacity.

6.2.6.2

Hydraulic pressure test

6.2.6.2.1 The internal

pressure to be applied (test pressure) shall be 1.5 times

the internal pressure at 50 °C, with a minimum pressure of

1 MPa (10 bar).

6.2.6.2.2 The hydraulic

pressure tests shall be carried out on at least five empty

receptacles of each model:

(a) until the prescribed test

pressure is reached, by which time no leakage or visible

permanent deformation shall have occurred; and

(b) until leakage or bursting

occurs; the dished end, if any, shall yield first and the

receptacle shall not leak or burst until a pressure 1.2 times the

test pressure has been reached or passed.

6.2.6.3

Tightness (leakproofness) test

6.2.6.3.1 Small

receptacles containing gas (gas cartridges) and fuel cell

cartridges containing liquefied flammable gas

6.2.6.3.1.1 Each receptacle

or fuel cell cartridge shall satisfy a tightness (leakproofness)

test in a hot-water bath.

6.2.6.3.1.2 The temperature

of the bath and the duration of the test shall be such that the

internal pressure of each receptacle or fuel cell cartridge

reaches at least 90% of the internal pressure that would be

reached at 55 °C. However, if the contents are sensitive to

heat or if the receptacles or the fuel cell cartridges are made

of a plastics material which softens at this temperature, the

temperature of the bath shall be from 20 °C to 30 °C.

In addition, one receptacle or fuel cell cartridge out of every

2 000 shall be tested at 55 °C.

6.2.6.3.1.3 No leakage or

permanent deformation of a receptacle or fuel cell cartridge

shall occur, except that a plastics receptacle or fuel cell

cartridge may be deformed through softening, provided that it

does not leak.

6.2.6.3.2

Aerosol dispensers

Each filled aerosol dispenser

shall be subjected to a test performed in a hot water bath or an

approved water bath alternative.

6.2.6.3.2.1 Hot water bath

test

6.2.6.3.2.1.1 The

temperature of the water bath and the duration of the test shall

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 aerosol dispenser at

50 °C). If the contents are sensitive to heat or if the

aerosol dispensers are made of plastics material which softens at

this test temperature, the temperature of the bath shall be set

at bet ween 20 °C and 30 °C but, in addition, one

aerosol dispenser in 2 000 shall be tested at the higher

temperature.

6.2.6.3.2.1.2 No leakage or

permanent deformation of an aerosol dispenser may occur, except

that a plastics aerosol dispenser may be deformed through

softening, provided that it does not leak.

6.2.6.3.2.2 Alternative

methods

With the approval of the competent

authority alternative methods which provide an equivalent level

of safety may be used, provided that the requirements of

6.2.6.3.2.2.1, 6.2.6.3.2.2.2 and 6.2.6.3.2.2.3 are met.

6.2.6.3.2.2.1 Quality

system

Aerosol dispenser fillers and

component manufacturers shall have a quality system. The quality

system shall implement procedures to ensure that all aerosol

dispensers that leak or that are deformed are rejected and not

offered for carriage.

The quality system shall

include:

(a) a description of the

organizational structure and responsibilities;

(b) the relevant inspection and

test, quality control, quality assurance, and process operation

instructions that will be used;

inspection reports, test data, calibration data and

certificates;

(d) management reviews to ensure

the effective operation of the quality system;

(e) a process for control of

documents and their revision;

(f) a means for control of

non-conforming aerosol dispensers;

(g) training programmes and

qualification procedures for relevant personnel; and

(h) procedures to ensure that

there is no damage to the final product.

An initial audit and periodic

audits shall be conducted to the satisfaction of the competent

authority. These audits shall ensure the approved system is and

remains adequate and efficient. Any proposed changes to the

approved system shall be notified to the competent authority in

advance.

6.2.6.3.2.2.2 Pressure and

leak testing of aerosol dispensers before filling

Every empty aerosol dispenser

shall be subjected to a pressure equal to or in excess of the

maximum expected in the filled aerosol dispensers at 55 °C

(50 °C if the liquid phase does not exceed 95% of the

capacity of the receptacle at 50 °C). This shall be at least

two-thirds of the design pressure of the aerosol dispenser. If

any aerosol dispenser shows evidence of leakage at a rate equal

to or greater than 3.3 x 10-2 mbar·l·s-1 at

the test pressure, distortion or other defect, it shall be

rejected.

6.2.6.3.2.2.3 Testing of

the aerosol dispensers after filling

Prior to filling the filler shall

ensure that the crimping equipment is set appropriately and the

specified propellant is used.

Each filled aerosol dispenser

shall be weighed and leak tested. The leak detection equipment

shall be sufficiently sensitive to detect at least a leak rate of

2.0 x 10-3 mbar·l·s-1 at 20 °C.

Any filled aerosol dispenser which

shows evidence of leakage, deformation or excessive weight shall

be rejected.

6.2.6.3.3 With the approval

of the competent authority, aerosols and receptacles, small,

containing pharmaceutical products and non flammable gases which

are required to be sterile, but may be adversely affected by

water bath testing, are not subject to 6.2.6.3.1 and 6.2.6.3.2

if:

(a) They are manufactured under

the authority of a national health administration and, if

required by the competent authority, follow the principles of

Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) established by the World Health

Organization (WHO)3; and

(b) An equivalent level of safety

is achieved by the manufacturer's use of alternative methods for

leak detection and pressure resistance, such as helium detection

and water bathing a statistical sample of at least 1 in

2 000 from each production batch.

6.2.6.4

Reference to standards

The requirements of this section

are deemed to be met if the following standards are complied

Chapter 6.3

In the title, replace

"substances" with:

"infectious

substances of category A".

6.3.1 to

6.3.3 Amend to read as

follows:

"6.3.1

General

6.3.1.1 The requirements of

this Chapter apply to packagings intended for the carriage of

infectious substances of Category A.

6.3.2

Requirements for packagings

6.3.2.1 The requirements

for packagings in this section are based on packagings, as

specified in 6.1.4, currently used. 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 in

this Chapter, provided that they are equally effective,

acceptable to the competent authority and able successfully to

withstand the tests described in 6.3.5. Methods of testing other

than those described in RID are acceptable, provided they are

equivalent, and are recognized by the competent authority.

6.3.2.2 Packagings shall be

manufactured and tested under a quality assurance programme which

satisfies the competent authority in order to ensure that each

packaging meets the requirements of this Chapter.

NOTE: ISO 16106:2006

"Packaging - Transport packages for dangerous goods -

Dangerous goods packagings, intermediate bulk containers (IBCs)

and large packagings - Guidelines for the application of ISO

9001" provides acceptable guidance on procedures which may be

followed.

6.3.2.3 (Text of existing

6.3.1.3)

6.3.3 Code for

designating types of packagings

6.3.3.1 The codes for

designating types of packagings are set out in 6.1.2.7.

6.3.3.2 The letters "U" or

"W" may follow the packaging code. The letter "U" signifies a

special packaging conforming to the requirements of 6.3.5.1.6.

The letter "W" signifies that the packaging, although, of the

same type indicated by the code is manufactured to a

specification different from that in 6.1.4 and is considered

equivalent under the requirements of 6.3.2.1."

Add new sections 6.3.4 and 6.3.5

as follows:

"6.3.4

Marking

NOTE 1: The marking

indicates that the packaging which bears it corresponds to a

successfully tested design type and that it complies with the

requirements of this Chapter which are related to the

manufacture, but not to the use, of the packaging.

2: The marking is intended

to be of assistance to packaging manufacturers, reconditioners,

packaging users, carriers and regulatory authorities.

3: The marking does not

always provide full details of the test levels, etc., and these

may need to be taken further into account, e.g. by reference to a

test certificate, to test reports or to a register of

successfully tested packagings.

6.3.4.1 Each packaging

intended for use according to RID shall bear markings which are

durable, legible and placed in a location and of such a size

relative to the packaging as to be readily visible. For packages

with a gross mass of more than 30 kg, the markings or a

duplicate thereof shall appear on the top or on a side of the

packaging. Letters, numerals and symbols shall be at least

12 mm high, except for packagings of 30 litres or

30 kg capacity or less, when they shall be at least

6 mm in height and for packagings of 5 litres or

5 kg or less when they shall be of an appropriate size.

(a) "Type of packaging"

categorizes packagings for test purposes according to the kind of

packaging and its material characteristics.

NOTE 1: In instances

where a primary receptacle is made of two or more materials, the

material most liable to damage determines the appropriate

test.

2: The material of the

secondary packagings are not taken into consideration when

selecting the test or conditioning for the test.

Explanation for use of the

Table:

If the packaging to be tested

consists of a fibreboard outer box with a plastics primary

receptacle, five samples must undergo the water spray test (see

6.3.5.3.6.1) prior to dropping and another five must be

conditioned to -18 °C (see 6.3.5.3.6.2) prior to dropping.

If the packaging is to contain dry ice then one further single

sample shall be dropped five times after conditioning in

accordance with 6.3.5.3.6.3.

Packagings prepared as for

carriage shall be subjected to the tests in 6.3.5.3 and 6.3.5.4.

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 embrittle at low

temperature; and other materials such as metal whose performance

is not affected by moisture or temperature.

6.3.5.3 Drop

test

6.3.5.3.1 Samples shall be

subjected to free-fall drops from a height of 9 m onto a

non-resilient, horizontal, flat, massive and rigid surface in

conformity with 6.1.5.3.4.

6.3.5.3.2 Where the samples

are in the shape of a box, five shall be dropped one in each of

the following orientations:

(a) flat on the base;

(b) flat on the top;

(d) flat on the shortest side;

(e) on a corner.

6.3.5.3.3 Where the samples

are in the shape of a drum, three shall be dropped one in each of

the following orientations:

(a) diagonally on the top chime,

with the centre of gravity directly above the point of

impact;

(b) diagonally on the base

chime;

6.3.5.3.4 While the sample

shall be released in the required orientation, it is accepted

that for aerodynamic reasons the impact may not take place in

that orientation.

6.3.5.3.5 Following the

appropriate drop sequence, there shall be no leakage from the

primary receptacle(s) which shall remain protected by

cushioning/absorbent material in the secondary packaging.

6.3.5.3.6 Special

preparation of test sample for the drop test

6.3.5.3.6.1 Fibreboard -

Water spray test

Fibreboard outer packagings: The

sample shall be subjected to a water spray that simulates

exposure to rainfall of approximately 5 cm per hour for at

least one hour. It shall then be subjected to the test described

in 6.3.5.3.1.

6.3.5.3.6.2 Plastics

material - Cold conditioning

Plastics primary receptacles or

outer packagings: The temperature of the test sample and its

contents shall be reduced to -18 °C or lower for a period of

at least 24 hours and within 15 minutes of removal from that

atmosphere the test sample shall be subjected to the test

described in 6.3.5.3.1. Where the sample contains dry ice, the

conditioning period shall be reduced to 4 hours.

6.3.5.3.6.3 Packagings

intended to contain dry ice - Additional drop test

Where the packaging is intended to

contain dry ice, a test additional to that specified in 6.3.5.3.1

and, when appropriate, in 6.3.5.3.6.1 or 6.3.5.3.6.2 shall be

carried out. One sample shall be stored so that all the dry ice

dissipates and then that sample shall be dropped in one of the

orientations described in 6.3.5.3.2 which shall be that most

likely to result in failure of the packaging.

movement.

6.5.6.13.3.2 The test shall

be conducted for one hour at a frequency that causes part of the

base of the IBC to be momentarily raised from the vibrating

platform for part of each cycle to such a degree that a metal

shim can be completely inserted intermittently at, at least, one

point between the base of the IBC and the test platform. The

frequency may need to be adjusted after the initial set point to

prevent the packaging from going into resonance. Nevertheless,

the test frequency shall continue to allow placement of the metal

shim under the IBC as described in this paragraph. The continuing

ability to insert the metal shim is essential to passing the

test. The metal shim used for this test shall be at least

1.6 mm thick, 50 mm wide, and be of sufficient length

to be inserted between the IBC and the test platform a minimum of

100 mm to perform the test.
