  "text": "Subject: Road transport of samples of chemical substances, mixtures and articles containing dangerous goods for the purpose of market surveillance.\nReference to Annex I, Section I.1, to Directive 2008/68/EC: Parts 1 to 9\nContent of the Annex to the Directive: General provisions, classification, special provisions and exemptions concerning the carriage of dangerous goods packed in limited quantities, provisions concerning the use of packaging and tanks, consignment procedures, packaging construction requirements, provisions concerning transport conditions, handling, loading and unloading, requirements concerning transport equipment and transport operations, requirements concerning the construction and approval of vehicles.\nContent of the national legislation: Samples of chemical substances, mixtures and articles containing dangerous goods and carried for analysis as a part of market surveillance activity shall be packed in combination packagings. They shall comply with the rules concerning maximum quantities for inner packaging depending on the type of the dangerous good involved. The outer packaging shall comply with the requirements for solid plastic boxes (4H2, Chapter 6.1 of Annex I, Section I.1 to Directive 2008/68/EC). The outer packaging must bear the marking of Section 3.4.7, Annex I, Section I.1 to Directive 2008/68/EC and the text ‘ Samples for analysis ’ (in French: ‘ Echantillons destinés à l’analyse ’ ). Provided that these provisions are complied with, the carriage is not subject to the provisions of Annex I, Section I.1 to Directive 2008/68/EC.\nInitial reference to the national legislation: Arrêté du 12 décembre 2012 modifiant l’arrêté du 29 mai 2009 relatif aux transports de marchandises dangereuses par voies terrestres\nComments: The exemption of Section 1.1.3, Annex I, Section I.1 to Directive 2008/68/EC does not provide for the transport of samples of dangerous goods for analysis taken by or on behalf of the competent authorities. To ensure effective market surveillance, France has introduced a procedure based on the system applicable to limited quantities for ensuring the safety of transport of samples containing dangerous goods. As it is not always feasible to apply the provisions of table A the quantity limit for the inner packaging has been defined in a more operational way.\nExpiry date: 1 January 2025",
