640J

The physical and technical characteristics mentioned in column (2) of Table A of Chapter 3.2

determine different tank codes for the carriage of substances of the same packing group in

ADR tanks.

In order to identify these physical and technical characteristics of the product carried in the

tank, the following shall be added, to the particulars required in the transport document, only in

case of carriage in ADR tanks:

"Special provision 640X" where "X" is the applicable capital letter appearing after the

reference to special provision 640 in column (6) of Table A of Chapter 3.2.

These particulars may, however, be dispensed with in the case of carriage in the type of tank

which, for substances of a specific packing group of a specific UN number, meets at least the

most stringent requirements.
