"2.2.1.1.7 Assignment of

fireworks to divisions

2.2.1.1.7.1 Fireworks shall

normally be assigned to divisions 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4 on the

basis of test data derived from Test Series 6 of the Manual of

Tests and Criteria. However, since the range of such articles is

very extensive and the availability of test facilities may be

limited, assignment to divisions may also be made in accordance

with the procedure in 2.2.1.1.7.2.

2.2.1.1.7.2 Assignment of

fireworks to UN Nos. 0333, 0334, 0335 and 0336 may be made on the

basis of analogy, without the need for Test Series 6 testing, in

accordance with the default fireworks classification table

in 2.2.1.1.7.5. Such assignment shall be made with the

agreement of the competent authority. Items not specified in the

table shall be classified on the basis of test data derived from

Test Series 6.

NOTE 1: The

addition of other types of fireworks to column 1 of the table in

2.2.1.1.7.5 shall only be made on the basis of full test data

submitted to the UN Sub-Committee of Experts on the Transport of

Dangerous Goods for consideration.

NOTE 2: Test data

derived by competent authorities which validates, or contradicts

the assignment of fireworks specified in column 4 of the table

in 2.2.1.1.7.5 to divisions in column 5 should be submitted

to the UN Sub-Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous

Goods for information.

2.2.1.1.7.3 Where fireworks of

more than one division are packed in the same package, they shall

be classified on the basis of the most dangerous division unless

test data derived from Test Series 6 indicate otherwise.

2.2.1.1.7.4 The classification

shown in the table in 2.2.1.1.7.5 applies only for articles

packed in fibreboard boxes (4G).

NOTE 1: References to

percentages in the table, unless otherwise stated, are to the

mass of all pyrotechnic composition (e.g. rocket motors, lifting

charge, bursting charge and effect charge).

NOTE 2: "Flash

composition" in this table refers to pyrotechnic compositions

containing an oxidizing substance, or black powder, and a metal

powder fuel that are used to produce an aural report

effect or used as a bursting charge in fireworks devices.

NOTE 3: Dimensions in mm

refer to:

- for

spherical and peanut shells the diameter of the sphere of the

shell;

- for cylinder

shells the length of the shell;

- for a shell

in mortar, Roman candle, shot tube firework or mine the inside

diameter of the tube comprising or containing the firework;

packaging so that, during carriage, any release or leak of a

liquid substance will not reach the outer packaging and will not

compromise the integrity of the cushioning material;

receptacles are placed in a single secondary packaging, they are

either individually wrapped or separated to prevent contact

between them.

NOTE: An element of

professional judgment is required to determine if a substance is

exempt under this paragraph. That judgment should be based on the

known medical history, symptoms and individual circumstances of

the source, human or animal, and endemic local conditions.

Examples of specimens which may be carried under this paragraph

include the blood or urine tests to monitor cholesterol levels,

blood glucose levels, hormone levels, or prostate specific

antibodies (PSA); those required to monitor organ function such

NOTE: Provisions

concerning restrictions for the passage of vehicles through road

tunnels are also included in Chapter 8.6.

1.9.5.1 General

provisions

When applying restrictions to the

passage of vehicles carrying dangerous goods through tunnels, the

competent authority shall assign the road tunnel to one of the

tunnel categories defined in 1.9.5.2.2. Account should be taken

of the tunnel characteristics, risk assessment including

availability and suitability of alternative routes and modes and

traffic management considerations. The same tunnel may be

assigned to more than one tunnel category, e.g. depending on the

hours of the day, or the day of the week etc.

1.9.5.2

Categorization

1.9.5.2.1 The categorization shall

be based on the assumption that in tunnels there are three major

dangers which may cause numerous victims or serious damage to the

tunnel structure:

(a) Explosions;

(b) Release of toxic gas or

volatile toxic liquid;

1.9.5.2.2 The five tunnel

categories are the following:

Tunnel

category A:

passage through tunnels may, however, be part of the special

arrangement approved by the competent authority(ies) on the basis

of 1.7.4.2.".

1.9.5.3

Provisions for road signs and notification of restrictions

1.9.5.3.1 Contracting Parties

shall indicate tunnel prohibitions and alternative routes by

means of signs and signals.

1.9.5.3.2 For this purpose, they

may use signs C, 3h and D, 10a, 10b and 10c and signals according

to the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals (Vienna, 1968)

and the European Agreement supplementing the Convention on Road

Signs and Signals (Geneva, 1971) as interpreted by the

Resolution on Road Signs and Signals (R.E.2) of the UNECE Inland

Transport Committee Principal Working Party on Road Transport, as

amended.

1.9.5.3.3 In order to facilitate

international understanding of signs, the system of signs and

signals prescribed in the Vienna Convention is based on the use

of shapes, and colours characteristic of each class of signs and

wherever possible, on the use of graphic symbols rather than

inscriptions. Where Contracting Parties consider it necessary to

modify the signs and symbols prescribed, the modifications made

shall not alter their essential characteristics. Where

Contracting Parties do not apply the Vienna Convention, the

prescribed signs and symbols may be modified, provided that the

modifications made shall not alter their essential intent.

1.9.5.3.4 Traffic signs and

signals intended to prohibit access of vehicles carrying

dangerous goods to road tunnels shall be affixed at a place where

the choice of alternative routes is possible.

1.9.5.3.5 When access to tunnels

is restricted or alternative routes are prescribed, the signs

shall be displayed with additional panels as follows:

No sign: no restriction

Sign with additional panel bearing

the letter B: applies to vehicles carrying dangerous goods not

allowed in tunnels of category B;

Sign with additional panel bearing

the letter C: applies to vehicles carrying dangerous goods not

allowed in tunnels of category C;

Sign with additional panel bearing

the letter D: applies to vehicles carrying dangerous goods not

allowed in tunnels of category D;

Sign with additional panel bearing

the letter E: applies to vehicles carrying dangerous goods not

allowed in tunnels of category E.

1.9.5.3.6 Tunnel restrictions

shall not apply when dangerous goods are carried in accordance

with 1.1.3

1.9.5.3.7 Restrictions shall be

published officially and made publicly available.

1.9.5.3.8 When Contracting Parties

apply specific operating measures designed to reduce the risks

and related to some or all vehicles using tunnels, such as

declaration before entering or passage in convoys escorted by

accompanying vehicles, such operating measures shall be published

officially and made publicly available.".
