Proposed text

—(1) Tank containers may also be used as industrial package Type 2 (Type IP-2) or Type 3 (Type IP-3) if —(a)they satisfy the requirements for an industrial package Type 1 (Type IP-1) specified in regulation 44(1);(b)they are designed to conform to the standards prescribed in the chapter on Recommendations on Multimodal Tank Transport of the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, or other requirements at least equivalent to those standards, and are capable of withstanding a test pressure of 265 kPa; and(c)they are designed so that any additional shielding which is provided shall be capable of withstanding the static and dynamic stresses resulting from normal handling and routine conditions of transport and of preventing a loss of shielding integrity which would result in more than a 20% increase in the radiation level at any external surface of the tank containers.(2) Tanks, other than tank containers, may also be used as industrial package Type 2 (Type IP-2) or Type 3 (Type IP-3), for transporting LSA-I and LSA-II liquids and gases as prescribed in Table 2 of the Third Schedule if they conform to standards at least equivalent to those prescribed in paragraph (1).(3) Freight containers may also be used as industrial package Type 2 (Type IP-2) or Type 3 (Type IP-3), if —(a)the radioactive contents are restricted to solid materials;(b)they satisfy the requirements for an industrial package Type 1 (Type IP-1) specified in regulation 44(1); and(c)they are designed to conform to the requirements prescribed in the provisions on “Series 1 Freight Containers — Specifications and Testing — Part 1: General Cargo Containers” in the International Organisation for Standardisation document ISO 1496/1 or where there is any latest revision, that revision, and if they were subjected to the tests prescribed in that document and the accelerations occurring during routine conditions of transport, they would prevent —(i)loss or dispersal of the radioactive contents; and(ii)loss of shielding integrity which would result in more than a 20% increase in the radiation level at any external surface of the freight containers.(4) Metal intermediate bulk containers may also be used as industrial package Type 2 (Type IP-2) or Type 3 (Type IP-3), if —(a)they satisfy the requirements for an industrial package Type 1 (Type IP-1) specified in regulation 44(1); and(b)they are designed to conform to the standards prescribed in the chapter on Recommendations on Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBC’s) of the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, for Packing Group I or II, and if they were subjected to the tests prescribed in that document, but with the drop test conducted in the most damaging orientation, they will prevent —(i)loss or dispersal of the radioactive contents; and(ii)loss of shielding integrity which would result in more than a 20% increase in the radiation level at any external surface of the intermediate bulk container.
