The marks in accordance with 6.1.3.1 are valid for only one design type or series of design types.
Different surface treatments may fall within the same design type.
 
2 Distinguishing sign of the State of registration used on motor vehicles and trailers in international road traffic,
e.g. in accordance with the Geneva Convention on Road Traffic of 1949 or the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic of
1968.
 
A "series of design types" means packagings of the same structural design, wall thickness, material
and cross-section, which differ only in their lesser design heights from the design type approved.
The closures of receptacles shall be identifiable as those referred to in the test report.

 

Marks shall be applied in the sequence of the sub-paragraphs in 6.1.3.1; each mark required in these
sub-paragraphs and when appropriate sub-paragraphs (h) to (j) of 6.1.3.8 shall be clearly separated,
e.g. by a slash or space, so as to be easily identifiable. For examples, see 6.1.3.11.
Any additional marks authorized by a competent authority shall still enable the other marks required
in 6.1.3.1 to be correctly identified.

After reconditioning a packaging, the reconditioner shall apply to it a durable marking showing, in
sequence, durable marks showing:
(h) The State in which the reconditioning was carried out, indicated by the distinguishing sign used
on vehicles in international road traffic2;
(i) The name of the reconditioner or other identification of the packaging specified by the
competent authority;
(j) The year of reconditioning; the letter "R"; and, for every packaging successfully passing the
leakproofness test in 6.1.1.3, the additional letter "L".

When, after reconditioning, the marks required by 6.1.3.1 (a) to (d) no longer appear on the top head
or the side of a metal drum, the reconditioner also shall apply them in a durable form followed by
6.1.3.8 (h), (i) and (j). These marks shall not identify a greater performance capability than that for
which the original design type had been tested and marked.

Packagings manufactured with recycled plastics material as defined in 1.2.1 shall be marked "REC".
This mark shall be placed near the marks prescribed in 6.1.3.1.
 
2 Distinguishing sign of the State of registration used on motor vehicles and trailers in international road traffic,
e.g. in accordance with the Geneva Convention on Road Traffic of 1949 or the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic of
1968.

Example for marking SALVAGE packagings

NOTE: The marking, for which examples are given in 6.1.3.11, 6.1.3.12 and 6.1.3.13 may be applied
in a single line or in multiple lines provided the correct sequence is respected.

Certification

By affixing marks in accordance with 6.1.3.1, it is certified that mass-produced packagings
correspond to the approved design type and that the requirements referred to in the approval have been
met.

General requirements

Any permeation of the substance contained in the packaging shall not constitute a danger under
normal conditions of carriage.

Requirements for packagings

Steel drums

1A1 non-removable head
 
1A2 removable head

Body and heads shall be constructed of steel sheet of a suitable type and of adequate thickness in
relation to the capacity of the drum and to its intended use.
NOTE: In the case of carbon steel drums, "suitable" steels are identified in ISO 3573:1999 "Hot
rolled carbon steel sheet of commercial and drawing qualities" and ISO 3574:1999 "Cold-reduced
carbon steel sheet of commercial and drawing qualities". For carbon steel drums below 100
litres "suitable" steels in addition to the above standards are also identified in ISO 11949:1995
"Cold-reduced electrolytic tinplate", ISO 11950:1995 "Cold-reduced electrolytic chromium/chromium
oxide-coated steel" and ISO 11951:1995 "Cold-reduced blackplate in coil form for the production of
tinplate or electrolytic chromium/chromium-oxide coated steel".

Body seams shall be welded on drums intended to contain more than 40 litres of liquid. Body seams
shall be mechanically seamed or welded on drums intended to contain solids or 40 litres or less of
liquids.

Chimes shall be mechanically seamed or welded. Separate reinforcing rings may be applied.
