# Commission Decision of 13 December 2005 amending Decision 2005/263/EC on authorising Member States to adopt certain derogations pursuant to Directive 94/55/EC with regard to the transport of dangerous goods by road (notified under document number C(2005) 3565) (Only the English, Lithuanian and Swedish texts are authentic) (Text with EEA relevance) (2005/903/EC), Division: RO-SQ 15.6 (amended)

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

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.
