15 19 th REVISED EDITION OF THE UN MODEL REGULATIONS JEFF HART (Former Chairman of the UN Sub-Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods)

16 THE REGULATIONS TO BE COVERED The United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods Model Regulations 19th revised edition applicable from 1 January Global, multi-modal but not mandatory. Transposed to mandatory modal regulations for international transport from 1 January 2017 (subject to usual transitional periods).

17 THE REGULATIONS TO BE COVERED There are also changes to the Manual of Tests and Criteria 5 th. Revision (up to Amendment 2). 19 th. Revision available in hard copy but this and 6 th. MTC not yet available on UNECE website. This presentation not comprehensive - full details of all amendments are available at:

18 MANUAL OF TESTS AND CRITERIA clarifies that examples given under test procedures are illustrative and provided for guidance only In situations where the proper classification of substances and articles of certain Hazard Classes or Divisions for transport is the responsibility of the Competent Authority, it is normal and accepted practice that due consideration will be given to testing or classification results of other Competent Authorities when provided.

19 MANUAL OF TESTS AND CRITERIA Amendments to Test 1 (a), 2 (a) and 8. Old US apparatus permitted for Test Series 3. Clarifications and amendments to Test 6 (c) bonfire test and new Test 6 (e) for small arms ammunition. New layout and some minor amendment for screening procedure for substances that may have explosive properties in 3.3 (c) of Annex 6.

20 MANUAL OF TESTS AND CRITERIA Waterfalls to be classified as 1.1 G or 1.3 G on basis of HSL test rather than Series 6 tests. Explosives WG will continue to look at: tests and criteria for flash composition; amendments to 1(c) and 2 (c) time/pressure tests; further review of Test Series 6; traceability markings.

21 MANUAL OF TESTS AND CRITERIA New giving guidance on standardised CA classification document. New Chapter 2.17 for criteria and tests for desensitised explosives for GHS (but no impact for transport). Amendments to lithium battery classification tests; amendments to definitions of cell; component cell; battery; single cell battery adopted.

22 MANUAL OF TESTS AND CRITERIA Amended Manual of Tests and Criteria (inc. Amendment 1 & 2 and 2013/14 amendments) to be published early 2015 as 6 th revised edition. To be edited to reflect use by both TDG and GHS and published as 7 th revised edition in Needs careful review to ensure editorial amendment is not substantive change.

23 19 th REVISED EDITION : The requirements of the standard that do not conflict with these Regulations shall be applied as specified, including the requirements of any other standard, or part of a standard, referenced within that standard as normative aerosol is now described as an article consisting of and tube now of seamless or composite construction.

24 19 th REVISED EDITION Design life, for composite cylinders and tubes, means the maximum life (in number of years) to which the cylinder or tube is designed and approved in accordance with the applicable standard; Service life, for composite cylinders and tubes, means the number of years the cylinder or tube is permitted to be in service;

25 19 th REVISED EDITION Salvage pressure receptacle capacity increased to 3000 litres (but restricted to contain only pressure receptacles of total of 1000 litres water capacity). Classification inconsistencies listing versus data. New text in and Guiding Principles (with CA approval use generic or n.o.s. entry first or usual UN no. with additional hazcom where transport conditions the same).

26 19 th REVISED EDITION kinematic viscosity provisions revert back to align with RID/ADR viscous liquids which are also environmentally hazardous not subject to other provisions when in single/combination packagings of 5 l/kg or less.

41 19 th REVISED EDITION Improved hazard communication in Class 9 for lithium batteries. Transitional period to 31/12/2018. More to follow? Unfortunately not!

42 . UN MODEL REGULATIONS - 19 th REVISED EDITION SP188 amended to apply battery handling mark Minimum dimension 110 mm Minimum dimension 120 mm Place for UN number(s) Place for telephone number [if not shown elsewhere on the package] The mark shall be in the form of a rectangle with hatched edging.

The symbol (group of batteries, one damaged and emitting flame, over the UN number for lithium ion or lithium metal batteries or cells) shall be black on white. The hatching shall be red. If the size of the package so requires, the dimensions/line thickness may be reduced to not less than 105 mm wide x 74 mm high. Where dimensions are not specified, all features shall be in approximate proportion to those shown.

UN number not less than 25mm, placards/marks not less than 100 x 100mm. If all compartments of CTUs have to bear the same placards only one each side need be displayed. Portable tanks not more than 3000 litres and insufficient area may replace placards with labels.

44 19 th REVISED EDITION Standards and end dates in Chapter 6.2 updated Notes 1 and 2 amended to require composite cylinder design for not less than 15 year life (rather than unlimited) and design life longer than 15 years shall not be filled after 15 years from the date of manufacture, unless the design has successfully passed a service life test programme. The service life test programme and the results shall be approved by the competent authority of the country of approval that is responsible for the initial approval of the cylinder design.

45 19 th REVISED EDITION composite cylinders and tubes to be marked FINAL year/month if limited life or SERVICE year/month if 15 year or non-limited life (from date of manufacture/initial inspection) (a) and (a) clarifies for portable tank inspections that the wall thickness shall be verified by appropriate measurement if this inspection indicates a reduction of wall thickness.

46 UN GUIDING PRINCIPLES Guiding Principles updated to reflect 18th revised edition. Guiding Principles for providing future transitional periods for UN pressure receptacles adopted. Guiding Principles for Packing Instruction template adopted. Illustrations for LQ package marking adopted.

47 CONCLUSION Must look at the definitive texts for complete detail in order to plan ahead and ensure compliance. Look at reports of UN meeting discussions it is the shape of things to come. Make sure your competent authority and trade association is aware of your views before meetings it does help shape decision making! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION!
