The load compartments of vehicles or containers shall be of steel resistant to the corrosive 
substances contained in the batteries. Less resistant steels may be used when there is a 
sufficiently great wall thickness or a plastics lining/layer resistant to the corrosive substances.
 
NOTE: Steel exhibiting a maximum rate of progressive reduction of 0.1 mm per year under the effects 
of the corrosive substances may be considered as resistant.
The load compartments of vehicles or containers shall not be loaded above the top of their walls.

PROVISIONS CONCERNING LOADING, UNLOADING AND HANDLING

General provisions concerning loading, unloading and handling

The vehicle and its driver, as well as the container(s), bulk-container(s), MEGC(s), tank-container(s)
or portable tank(s) if any, shall comply with the regulatory provisions (especially those concerning
safety, security, cleanliness and satisfactory operation of the equipment used in loading and
unloading) upon arrival at the loading and unloading sites, which include container terminals.

Unless otherwise specified in ADR, the loading shall not be carried out if:
- an examination of the documents; or
- a visual inspection of the vehicle or of the container(s), bulk-container(s), MEGC(s), tankcontainer(
s) or portable tank(s) if any, as well as of their equipment used in loading and
unloading,
shows that the vehicle, the driver, a container, a bulk-container, a MEGC, a tank-container, a portable
tank or their equipment do not comply with the regulatory provisions. The interior and exterior of a
vehicle or container shall be inspected prior to loading to ensure that there is no damage that could
affect its integrity or that of the packages to be loaded in it.

Unless otherwise specified in ADR, the unloading shall not be carried out, if the above-mentioned
inspections reveal deficiencies that might affect the safety or the security of the unloading.

In accordance with the special provisions of 7.3.3 or 7.5.11, in conformity with Columns (17) and (18)
of Table A of Chapter 3.2, certain dangerous goods shall only be forwarded as a "full load" (see
definition in 1.2.1). In such a case, the competent authorities may require the vehicle or large
container used for such carriage to be loaded at only one point and unloaded at only one point.

When orientation arrows are required packages and overpacks shall be oriented in accordance with
such marks.
NOTE: Liquid dangerous goods shall be loaded below dry dangerous goods whenever practicable.

All means of containment shall be loaded and unloaded in conformity with a handling method for
which they have been designed and, where required, tested.
