Division RO-SQ 15.6 (amended)

United Kingdom

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

Subject

  • Movement of nominally empty fixed tanks not intended as transport equipment (N2).

    • Reference to the Annex to the Directive

  • Parts 5 and 7 to 9.

    • Content of the Annex to the Directive

  • Requirements concerning consignment procedures, carriage, operation and vehicles.

    • Reference to national legislation

  • The Carriage of Dangerous Goods and Use of Transportable Pressure Equipment Regulations 2004: Regulation 5(14).

    • Content of national legislation

  • The regulations do not apply to the carriage of nominally empty storage tanks.

    • Comments

  • Movement of such fixed tanks is not carriage of dangerous goods in the normal sense, and ADR provisions cannot in practice be applied. As the tanks are ‘nominally empty’, the amount of dangerous goods actually contained in them is by definition extremely small.
