PACKING INSTRUCTION (SOLIDS) (cont'd)

LP02

Special packing provision specific to RID and ADR:

LL1 For UN 3509, large packagings are not required to meet the requirements of 4.1.1.3.

Large packagings meeting the requirements of 6.6.4, made leak tight or fitted with a leak tight and puncture resistant sealed liner or bag, shall be used.

When the only residues are solids which are not liable to become liquid at temperatures likely to be encountered during carriage, flexible large packagings may be used.

When liquid residues are present, rigid large packagings that provide a means of retention (e.g. absorbent material) shall be used.

Before being filled and handed over for carriage, every large packaging shall be inspected to ensure that it is free from corrosion, contamination or other damage. Any large packaging showing signs of reduced strength, shall no longer be used (minor dents and scratches are not considered as reducing the strength of the large packaging).

Large packagings intended for the carriage of packagings, discarded, empty, uncleaned with residues of Class

5.1 shall be so constructed or adapted that the goods cannot come into contact with wood or any other combustible material.

LP99	PACKING INSTRUCTION	LP99
Only large packagings which are approved for these goods by the competent authority may be used. A copy of the competent authority approval shall accompany each consignment or the transport document shall include an indication that the packaging was approved by the competent authority.

LP101	PACKING INSTRUCTION	LP101

Packagings shall conform to the packing group II performance level.
Each damaged or defective battery or equipment containing such a battery shall be individually packed in an inner packaging and placed inside an outer packaging. The inner packaging or outer packaging shall be leak- proof to prevent the potential release of electrolyte. Each inner packaging shall be surrounded by sufficient non-combustible and non-conductive thermal insulation material to protect against a dangerous evolution of heat. Sealed packagings shall be fitted with a venting device when appropriate. Appropriate measures shall be taken to minimize the effects of vibrations and shocks, prevent movement of the battery within the package that may lead to further damage and a dangerous condition during carriage. Cushioning material that is non-combustible and non-conductive may also be used to meet this requirement. Non combustibility shall be assessed according to a standard recognized in the country where the packaging is designed or manufactured.
For leaking batteries, sufficient inert absorbent material shall be added to the inner or outer packaging to absorb any release of electrolyte.
Additional requirement:
Batteries shall be protected against short circuit.

4.1.5

Special packing provisions for goods of Class 1

4.1.5.1

The general provisions of Section 4.1.1 shall be met.

4.1.5.2

All packagings for Class 1 goods shall be so designed and constructed that:

(a) They will protect the explosives, prevent them escaping and cause no increase in the risk of

unintended ignition or initiation when subjected to normal conditions of carriage including

foreseeable changes in temperature, humidity and pressure;

(b) The complete package can be handled safely in normal conditions of carriage; and

they will be subject during carriage so that they do not add to the risk presented by the

explosives, the containment function of the packagings is not harmed, and they are not

distorted in a way or to an extent which will reduce their strength or cause instability of a stack.

4.1.5.3

All explosive substances and articles, as prepared for carriage, shall have been classified in

accordance with the procedures detailed in 2.2.1.

4.1.5.4

Class 1 goods shall be packed in accordance with the appropriate packing instruction shown in

Column (8) of Table A of Chapter 3.2, as detailed in 4.1.4.

4.1.5.5

Unless otherwise specified in ADR, packagings, including IBCs and large packagings, shall conform

to the requirements of chapters 6.1, 6.5 or 6.6, as appropriate, and shall meet their test requirements

for packing group II.

4.1.5.6

The closure device of packagings containing liquid explosives shall ensure a double protection against

leakage.

4.1.5.7

The closure device of metal drums shall include a suitable gasket; if a closure device includes a screwthread,

the ingress of explosive substances into the screw-thread shall be prevented.

4.1.5.8

Packagings for water soluble substances shall be water resistant. Packagings for desensitized or

phlegmatized substances shall be closed to prevent changes in concentration during carriage.

4.1.5.9

When the packaging includes a double envelope filled with water which may freeze during transport,

a sufficient quantity of an anti-freeze agent shall be added to the water to prevent freezing. Anti-freeze

that could create a fire hazard because of its inherent flammability shall not be used.

4.1.5.10

Nails, staples and other closure devices made of metal without protective covering shall not penetrate

to the inside of the outer packaging unless the inner packaging adequately protects the explosives

against contact with the metal.

4.1.5.11

Inner packagings, fittings and cushioning materials and the placing of explosive substances or articles

in packages shall be accomplished in a manner which prevents the explosive substances or articles

from becoming loose in the outer packaging under normal conditions of carriage. Metallic

components of articles shall be prevented from making contact with metal packagings. Articles

containing explosive substances not enclosed in an outer casing shall be separated from each other in

order to prevent friction and impact. Padding, trays, partitioning in the inner or outer packaging,

mouldings or receptacles may be used for this purpose.

4.1.5.12

Packagings shall be made of materials compatible with, and impermeable to, the explosives contained

in the package, so that neither interaction between the explosives and the packaging materials, nor

leakage, causes the explosive to become unsafe to carriage, or the hazard division or compatibility

group to change.
