Champ d’application

This standard applies to the classification, coding, marking, requirements, performance inspection, and use appraisal of dangerous goods packaging transported by railway, excluding military products. It covers packaging for dangerous goods categories defined in Chapter 4, except for Class 2, Division 6.2, and Class 7. This standard is not applicable to pressure receptacles, packaging with a net weight exceeding 400 kg, or packaging with a capacity exceeding 450 L. It is essential for manufacturers and shippers of hazardous materials utilizing rail freight within China.

Exigences techniques

The standard specifies the classification of dangerous goods into 9 hazard classes and categorizes packaging into three groups: Packaging Category I (high danger), II (medium danger), and III (low danger). It mandates specific coding and marking requirements for packaging types, including the use of the UN symbol or RID symbol, container codes, and manufacturing year. Manufacturers must ensure all packaging bears durable and legible markings indicating compliance with the designated packaging category. General requirements dictate that packaging must be structurally sound, provide adequate protection, and be compatible with the hazardous contents. It must withstand normal transport conditions, including shocks, loading, and temperature variations. Containers must not allow any loss of contents during transport and should prevent dangerous reactions between the contents and the packaging material. Specific provisions are also outlined for liquid filling, requiring adequate ullage to prevent leakage due to thermal expansion. Special packaging requirements are detailed for Class 1 explosive goods and organic peroxides (Division 5.2). For explosives, packaging must prevent ignition or initiation risks and ensure contents do not disperse within the outer container. For organic peroxides, containers must feature effective seals and may require venting devices if internal pressure builds up, provided the emitted gas does not pose a hazard.

Méthodes d’essai

The standard outlines key performance inspection methods to validate packaging integrity, including the Drop Test (evaluating resistance to impact from various orientations), Leakproofness Test (assessing airtight sealing capabilities), Hydraulic Test (verifying internal pressure resistance), and Stacking Test (determining structural integrity under compressive loads). Specific test parameters vary based on the assigned packaging category.
