MARKING AND LABELLING

5.2.1

Marking of packages

NOTE: For marks related to the construction, testing and approval of packagings, large packagings,

gas receptacles and IBCs, see Part 6.

5.2.1.1

Unless provided otherwise in ADR, the UN number corresponding to the dangerous goods contained,

preceded by the letters "UN" shall be clearly and durably marked on each package. The UN number

and the letters "UN" shall be at least 12 mm high, except for packages of 30 litres capacity or less or

of 30 kg maximum net mass and for cylinders of 60 litres water capacity or less, when they shall be at

least 6 mm in height and except for packages of 5 litres or 5 kg or less when they shall be of an

appropriate size. In the case of unpackaged articles the mark shall be displayed on the article, on its

cradle or on its handling, storage or launching device.

5.2.1.2

All package marks required by this Chapter:

(a) shall be readily visible and legible;

(b) shall be able to withstand open weather exposure without a substantial reduction in

effectiveness.

5.2.1.3

Salvage packagings and salvage pressure receptacles shall additionally be marked with the word

"SALVAGE". The lettering of the "SALVAGE" mark shall be at least 12 mm high.

5.2.1.4

Intermediate bulk containers of more than 450 litres capacity and large packagings shall be marked on

two opposite sides.

5.2.1.5

Additional provisions for goods of Class 1

For goods of Class 1, packages shall, in addition, bear the proper shipping name as determined in

accordance with 3.1.2. The mark, which shall be clearly legible and indelible, shall be in an official

language of the country of origin and also, if that language is not English, French or German, in

English, French or German unless any agreements concluded between the countries concerned in the

transport operation provide otherwise.

5.2.1.6

Additional provisions for goods of Class 2

Refillable receptacles shall bear the following particulars in clearly legible and durable characters:

(a) the UN number and the proper shipping name of the gas or mixture of gases, as determined in

accordance with 3.1.2.

In the case of gases classified under an N.O.S. entry, only the technical name1 of the gas has to

be indicated in addition to the UN number.

In the case of mixtures, not more than the two constituents which most predominantly

contribute to the hazards have to be indicated;

(b) for compressed gases filled by mass and for liquefied gases, either the maximum filling mass

and the tare of the receptacle with fittings and accessories as fitted at the time of filling, or the

gross mass;

1 Instead of the technical name the use of one of the following names is permitted:

- for UN No. 1078 refrigerant gas, n.o.s: mixture F1, mixture F2, mixture F3;

- for UN No. 1060 methylacetylene and propadiene mixtures, stabilized: mixture P1, mixture P2;

- for UN No. 1965 hydrocarbon gas mixture, liquefied, n.o.s.: mixture A or butane, mixture A01 or butane,

mixture A02 or butane, mixture A0 or butane, mixture A1, mixture B1, mixture B2, mixture B, mixture C

or propane;

- for UN No. 1010 Butadienes, stabilized: 1,2-Butadiene, stabilized, 1,3-Butadiene, stabilized.

These particulars can either be engraved or indicated on a durable information disk or label attached

on the receptacle or indicated by an adherent and clearly visible mark such as by printing or by any

equivalent process.

NOTE 1: See also 6.2.2.7.

NOTE 2: For non refillable receptacles, see 6.2.2.8.

5.2.1.7

Special marking provisions for radioactive material

5.2.1.7.1

Each package shall be legibly and durably marked on the outside of the packaging with an

identification of either the consignor or consignee, or both. Each overpack shall be legibly and

durably marked on the outside of the overpack with an identification of either the consignor or

consignee, or both unless these marks of all packages within the overpack are clearly visible.

5.2.1.7.2

For each package, other than excepted packages, the UN number preceded by the letters "UN" and the

proper shipping name shall be legibly and durably marked on the outside of the packaging. The

marking of excepted packages shall be as required by 5.1.5.4.1.
