  • Asbestos (UN 2212 and UN 2590), polychlorinated biphenyls (UN 2315 and UN 3432) and polyhalogenated biphenyls, halogenated monomethyldiphenylmethanes or polyhalogenated terphenyls (UN 3151 and UN 3152).
General provisions:
Packagings, discarded, empty, uncleaned with residues presenting a risk or a subsidiary risk of Class 5.1 shall not be packed together with other packagings, discarded, empty, uncleaned, or loaded together with other packagings, discarded, empty, uncleaned in the same container, vehicle or bulk container.

NOTE: All the other provisions of ADR apply.
664 When substances under this entry are carried in fixed tanks (tank-vehicles) or demountable tanks, these tanks may be equipped with additive devices.
Additive devices:
  • are part of the service equipment for dispensing additives of UN 1202, UN 1993 packing group III, UN 3082 or non-dangerous substances during discharge of the tank;
  • consist of elements such as connecting pipes and hoses, closing devices, pumps and dosing devices which are permanently connected to the discharge device of the tank’s service equipment;
  • include means of containment which are an integral part of the shell, or permanently fixed to the exterior of the tank or tank-vehicle.
Alternatively, additive devices may have connectors for connecting packagings. In this latter case, the packaging itself is not considered part of the additive device.
The following requirements shall apply depending on the configuration:
  1. Construction of the means of containment:
    1. As an integral part of the shell (e.g. a tank compartment), they shall meet the relevant provisions of Chapter 6.8.
    2. When permanently fixed to the exterior of the tank or to the tank-vehicle, they are not subject to the construction provisions of ADR provided they comply with the following provisions:
      They shall be made of a metallic material and comply with the following minimum wall thickness requirements:
      Material Minimum wall thicknessa
      Austenitic stainless steels 2.5 mm
      Other steels 3 mm
      Aluminium alloys 4 mm
      Pure aluminium of 99.80% 6 mm
      a For means of containment made with double walls, the aggregate thickness of the outer metal wall and the inner metal wall shall correspond to the wall thickness prescribed.
      Welding shall be carried out in accordance with the first paragraph of 6.8.2.1.23, except that other suitable methods may be applied to confirm the quality of the welding.
    3. Packagings which are connectable to the additive device shall be metal packagings and meet the relevant construction requirements of Chapter 6.1, as applicable for the additive concerned.
  2. Tank approval
    For tanks equipped or intended to be equipped with additive devices, where the additive device is not included in the original type approval of the tank, the provisions of 6.8.2.3.4 shall apply.
  3. Use of means of containment and additive devices
    1. In case of (a) (i) above, no additional requirements.
    2. In case of (a) (ii) above, the total capacity of the means of containment shall not exceed 400 litres per vehicle.
    3. In case of (a) (iii) above, 7.5.7.5 and 8.3.3 shall not apply. The packagings may only be connected to the additive device during discharge of the tank. During carriage, the closures and connectors shall be closed so as to be leaktight.
  4. Testing for additive devices
    The provisions of 6.8.2.4 shall apply to the additive device. However, in case of (a) (ii) above, at the time of the initial, intermediate or periodic inspection of the tank, the means of containment of the additive device shall only be subject to an external visual inspection and a leakproofness test. The leakproofness test shall be carried out at a test pressure of at least 0.2 bar.
    NOTE: For the packagings described in (a) (iii) above, the relevant provisions of ADR shall apply.
  5. Transport document
    Only the information required in accordance with 5.4.1.1.1 (a) to (d) needs to be added to the transport document for the additive concerned. In this case, the remark "additive device" shall be added to the transport document.
  6. Training of drivers
    Drivers who have been trained in accordance with 8.2.1 for carriage of this substance in tanks need no additional training for the carriage of the additives.
  7. Placarding or marking
    Placarding or marking of the fixed tank (tank-vehicle) or demountable tank for the carriage of substances under this entry in accordance with Chapter 5.3 is not affected by the presence of an additive device or the additives contained therein.
665Unground hard coal, coke and anthracite, meeting the classification criteria of Class 4.2, packing group III, are not subject to the requirements of ADR.
666 Vehicles assigned to UN No. 3166 or UN No. 3171 and battery powered equipment assigned to UN 3171 in conformity with special provisions 240, 312 and 385, as well as any dangerous goods they contain that are necessary for their operation or the operation of their equipment, when carried as a load, are not subject to any other provisions of ADR, provided the following conditions are met:
  1. For liquid fuels, any valves between the engine or equipment and the fuel tank shall be closed during carriage unless it is essential for the equipment to remain operational. Where appropriate, the vehicles shall be loaded upright and secured against falling;
  2. For gaseous fuels, the valve between the gas tank and engine shall be closed and the electric contact open unless it is essential for the equipment to remain operational;
  3. Metal hydride storage systems shall be approved by the competent authority of the country of manufacture. If the country of manufacture is not a contracting party to ADR the approval shall be recognized by the competent authority of a contracting party to ADR;
  4. The provisions of (a) and (b) do not apply to vehicles which are empty of liquid or gaseous fuels,
    NOTE 1: A vehicle is considered to be empty of liquid fuel when the liquid fuel tank has been drained and the vehicle cannot be operated due to a lack of fuel. Vehicle components such as fuel lines, fuel filters and injectors do not need to be cleaned, drained or purged to be considered empty of liquid fuels. In addition, the liquid fuel tank does not need to be cleaned or purged.
    NOTE 2: A vehicle is considered to be empty of gaseous fuels when the gaseous fuel tanks are empty of liquid (for liquefied gases), the pressure in the tanks does not exceed 2 bar and the fuel shut-off or isolation valve is closed and secured.
667
  1. The requirements of 2.2.9.1.7 (a) do not apply when pre-production prototype lithium cells or batteries or lithium cells or batteries of a small production run, consisting of not more than 100 cells or batteries, are installed in the vehicle, engine or machinery;
  2. The requirements of 2.2.9.1.7 do not apply to lithium cells or batteries in damaged or defective vehicles, engine or machinery. In such cases the following conditions shall be met:
