Fixed tanks (tank-vehicles), demountable tanks and battery-vehicles
Fixed tanks (tank-vehicles), demountable tanks and battery-vehicles built before the entry into force
of the requirements applicable as from 1 October 1978 may be kept in service if the equipment of the
shell meets the requirements of Chapter 6.8. The thickness of the shell wall, except in the case of
shells intended for the carriage of refrigerated liquefied gases of Class 2, shall be appropriate to a
calculation pressure of not less than 0.4 MPa (4 bar) (gauge pressure) in the case of mild steel or of
not less than 200 kPa (2 bar) (gauge pressure) in the case of aluminium and aluminium alloys. For
other than circular cross-sections of tanks, the diameter to be used as a basis for calculation shall be
that of a circle whose area is equal to that of the actual cross-section of the tank.
The periodic tests for fixed tanks (tank-vehicles), demountable tanks and battery-vehicles kept in
service under these transitional requirements shall be conducted in accordance with the requirements
of 6.8.2.4 and 6.8.3.4 and with the pertinent special requirements for the various classes. Unless the
earlier requirements prescribed a higher test pressure, a test pressure of 200 kPa (2 bar) (gauge
pressure) shall suffice for aluminium shells and aluminium alloy shells.
Fixed tanks (tank-vehicles), demountable tanks and battery-vehicles which meet the transitional
requirements in 1.6.3.1 and 1.6.3.2 may be used until 30 September 1993 for the carriage of the
dangerous goods for which they have been approved. This transitional period shall not apply to fixed
tanks (tank-vehicles), demountable tanks and battery-vehicles intended for the carriage of substances
of Class 2, or to fixed tanks (tank-vehicles), demountable tanks and battery-vehicles whose wall
thickness and items of equipment meet the requirements of Chapter 6.8.
(a) Fixed tanks (tank-vehicles), demountable tanks and battery-vehicles constructed before 1 May
1985 in accordance with the requirements of ADR in force between 1 October 1978 and 30
April 1985 but not conforming to the requirements applicable as from 1 May 1985 may
continue to be used after that date;
(b) Fixed tanks (tank-vehicles), demountable tanks and battery-vehicles, constructed between 1
May 1985 and the entry into force of the requirements applicable as from 1 January 1988
which do not conform to those requirements but were constructed according to the
requirements of ADR in force until that date, may continue to be used after that date.
Fixed tanks (tank-vehicles), demountable tanks and battery-vehicles, constructed before 1 January
1993 in accordance with the requirements in force up to 31 December 1992 but which do not conform
to the requirements applicable as from 1 January 1993 may still be used.
(a) Fixed tanks (tank-vehicles), demountable tanks and battery-vehicles constructed between 1
January 1978 and 31 December 1984, if used after 31 December 2004, shall conform to the
requirements of marginal 211 127 (5), applicable as from 1 January 1990, concerning shell
thickness and protection against damage;
(b) Fixed tanks (tank-vehicles), demountable tanks and battery-vehicles constructed between 1
January 1985 and 31 December 1989, if used after 31 December 2010, shall conform to the
requirements of marginal 211 127 (5), applicable as from 1 January 1990, concerning shell
