Intermediate Bulk containers (IBC) The IBC is a packing method that falls between the carriage of a substance in bulk and in normal packagings. The purpose is to gain efficiency in handling but to retain,manoeuvrability. An IBC can be rigid or flexible, made of any material sich as paper, metal, wood or plastic. It can have a variety of opening arrangement and can be used to carry liquids or solids. An IBC must be suitable for handling by mechanical means. An IBC must bear markings in a similar manner to other packaging. The IBC have a capacity of: 1. not more than 3.0 m³ (3000 litres) for solids and liquids of packing groups II and III; 2. not more than 1.5 m³ for solids of packing group I when packed in flexible,rigid plastics, composite, fibreboard or wooden IBCs; 3. not more than3.0 m³ for solids of packing group I when packed in metal IBC; 4. Not more than 3.0 m³ fot radioactive material of class 7. 6

These classes have not been included in the table. However, if, through unforeseen circumstances, these cargoes have to be temporarily kept, it should be designated areas. Segregation requirements of the individual class as stipulated in the IMDG Code should be considered by the port authority when establishing specific requirements. Segregation advice for the temporary keeping of dangerous goods in port areas I. Packages/IBC/ trailers/open containers/flat racks or platform containers: 0 = no segregation necessary unless required by the individual schedules; a= away from minimum 3m separated required; s= separated from - in open areas, minimum 6 m separation, in sheds or warehouses, minimum 12m separation unless by an approved fire wall; II. Closed containers/portable tanks/closed road vehicles: 0 = no segregation necessary; 18
a = away from - no segregation necessary; s = separated from - in open areas, longitudinally and laterally, minimum 3m separation required, in sheds or warehouses longitudinally and laterally, minimum 6m separation required unless separated by an approved fire wall; III. Open road vehicles/railway freight wagons/open top containers: 0 = no segregation necessary unless required by the individual schedules; a = away from minimum 3m separated required; s= separated from - in open areas, minimum 6 m separation, in sheds or warehouses, minimum 12m separation unless by an approved fire wall; An example: Packages * UN1364 Cotton Waste,oily, 4.2 and UN2067 Ammonium nitrate based fertilized, 5.1. Segregation level - s - separated from - in open areas, minimum 6 m separation, in sheds or warehouses, minimum 12m separation unless by an approved fire wall; **Closed containers for 4.2 and 5.1. Segregation level - s - in open areas, longitudinally and laterally, minimum 3m separation required, in sheds or warehouses longitudinally and laterally, minimum 6m separation required unless separated by an approved fire wall; *** Open top containers for 4.2 and 5.1 Segregation level s - minimum 6m separated require.
