Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard specifies the packing requirements, performance testing, and inspection rules for containers holding peroxyacetic acid (peracetic acid). It applies to plastic drums, jerricans, and combination packaging consisting of plastic bottles within fiberboard boxes used for transporting this hazardous chemical. This standard is mandatory for all manufacturers and distributors involved in the packaging of peroxyacetic acid in China. It is technically consistent with the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods.
Technical requirements
The standard mandates that peroxyacetic acid must be packaged in plastic drums or jerricans with a maximum capacity of 60L, or in combination packaging with a maximum net weight of 50kg. Packaging materials must be compatible with the chemical, ensuring that contact does not reduce structural strength. All packaging designs must meet the specifications for Class II dangerous goods. For safety, packaging must feature durable UN dangerous goods markings and proper structural integrity to withstand normal transport risks. If the chemical releases oxygen and creates pressure, packaging may require specially designed ventilation devices that prevent liquid leakage and external substance infiltration. When using combination packaging, inner plastic bottles must be secured to prevent rupture or leakage, and cushioning materials must be non-combustible and incapable of causing chemical decomposition. Stabilizer levels must not fall below specified limits during transportation. Additionally, packaging must have sufficient ullage (unfilled space) to accommodate liquid expansion, generally limiting filling to 98% of the container's capacity.
Testing methods
The standard outlines a rigorous performance testing protocol to ensure packaging integrity under extreme transport conditions. Key tests include the Drop Test (conducted at -18°C or lower to test impact resistance), the Airtightness Test (verifying seal integrity under pressure), the Hydraulic Test (assessing pressure resistance), and the Stacking Test (evaluating structural strength under sustained load and high temperatures). Plastic containers must undergo a 6-month compatibility test with the actual chemical before final design approval if raw materials change.
FAQs
What products and packaging types are regulated under GB 19105-2003?
It applies to packaging containers for peroxyacetic acid, specifically plastic drums and jerricans (max 60L) and combination packaging of plastic bottles in fiberboard boxes (max 50kg). It is mandatory for all manufacturers and distributors handling this chemical.
How does GB 19105-2003 relate to international dangerous goods standards?
It is technically consistent with the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods. It requires UN dangerous goods markings and mandates that all packaging meet the requirements for Class II dangerous goods packaging.
What is the validity period for peroxyacetic acid packaging under this standard?
The validity period is 12 months from the production date. Reused packaging or expired packaging must pass performance testing again, with the new validity period not exceeding 6 months from the test date or filling date.
