Marking of bundles of cylinders

Individual cylinders in a bundle of cylinders shall be marked in accordance with 6.2.3.9.1 to 6.2.3.9.6.

Marking of bundles of cylinders shall be in accordance with 6.2.2.10.2 and 6.2.2.10.3, except that the
United Nations packaging symbol specified in 6.2.2.7.2 (a) shall not be applied.

In addition to the preceding marks, each bundle of cylinders that meets the periodic inspection and test
requirements of 6.2.4.2 shall be marked indicating:
(a) The character(s) identifying the country authorizing the body performing the periodic inspection
and test, as indicated by the distinguishing sign used on vehicles in international road traffic2.
This mark is not required if this body is approved by the competent authority of the country
approving manufacture;
(b) The registered mark of the body authorised by the competent authority for performing periodic
inspection and test;
(c) The date of the periodic inspection and test, the year (two digits) followed by the month (two
digits) separated by a slash (i.e. "/"). Four digits may be used to indicate the year.
The above marks shall appear consecutively in the sequence given either on the plate specified in
6.2.2.10.2 or on a separate plate permanently attached to the frame of the bundle of cylinders.

Marking of non-refillable pressure receptacles

Marking shall be in accordance with 6.2.2.8, except that the United Nations packaging symbol
specified in 6.2.2.7.2 (a) shall not be applied.

Salvage pressure receptacles

To permit the safe handling and disposal of the pressure receptacles carried within the salvage
pressure receptacle, the design may include equipment not otherwise used for cylinders or pressure
drums such as flat heads, quick opening devices and openings in the cylindrical part.

Instructions on the safe handling and use of the salvage pressure receptacle shall be clearly shown in
the documentation for the application to the competent authority of the country of approval and shall
form part of the approval certificate. In the approval certificate, the pressure receptacles authorized to
be carried in a salvage pressure receptacle shall be indicated. A list of the materials of construction of
all parts likely to be in contact with the dangerous goods shall also be included.

A copy of the approval certificate shall be delivered by the manufacturer to the owner of a salvage
pressure receptacle.

The marking of salvage pressure receptacles according to 6.2.3 shall be determined by the competent
authority of the country of approval taking into account suitable marking provisions of 6.2.3.9 as
appropriate. The marks shall include the water capacity and test pressure of the salvage pressure
receptacle.
 
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.

Requirements for non-UN pressure receptacles designed, constructed and tested according to referenced standards

NOTE: Persons or bodies identified in standards as having responsibilities in accordance with ADR
shall meet the requirements of ADR.

Design, construction and initial inspection and test

 
Type approval certificates shall be issued in accordance with 1.8.7. The standards referenced in 
the
table below shall be applied for the issue of type approvals as indicated in column (4) to meet the 
requirements of Chapter 6.2 referred to in column (3). The standards shall be applied in accordance 
with 1.1.5. Column (5) gives the latest date when existing type approvals shall be withdrawn  
according to 1.8.7.2.4; if no date is shown the type approval remains valid until it expires.
 
Since 1 January 2009 the use of the referenced standards has been mandatory. Exceptions are dealt 
with in 6.2.5.
 
If more than one standard is referenced for the application of the same requirements, only one of 
them shall be applied, but in full unless otherwise specified in the table below.
 
The scope of application of each standard is defined in the scope clause of the standard unless
otherwise specified in the Table below.
