IMDG Code. Part 5 (2018)

THE INTERNATIONAL MARITIME DANGEROUS GOODS (IMDG) CODE

AMENDMENT 38-16

 (adopted on 13 May 2016 by MSC.406(96))

enter into force on 1 January 2018

 

PART 5

CONSIGNMENT PROCEDURES

 

Chapter 5.1. General provisions

5.1.1 Application and general provisions

5.1.1.1 This part sets forth the provisions for dangerous goods consignments
relative to authorization of consignments and advance notifications, marking,
labelling, documentation (by manual, electronic data processing (EDP) or
electronic data interchange (EDI) techniques) and placarding.

5.1.1.2 Except as otherwise provided in this Code, no person may offer dangerous
goods for transport unless those goods are properly marked, labelled, placarded,
described and certified on a transport document, and otherwise in a condition
for transport as required by this part.

5.1.1.3.1 A carrier shall not accept dangerous goods for transport unless:

.1       A copy of the dangerous goods transport document and other documents or
information as required by the provisions of this Code are provided; or

.2       The information applicable to the dangerous goods is provided in
electronic form.

5.1.1.3.2 The information applicable to the dangerous goods shall accompany the
dangerous goods to final destination. This information may be on the dangerous
goods transport document or may be on another document. This information shall
be given to the consignee when the dangerous goods are delivered.

5.1.1.3.3 When the information applicable to the dangerous goods is given to the
carrier in electronic form, the information shall be available to the carrier at
all times during transport to final destination. The information shall be able
to be produced without delay as a paper document.

5.1.1.4 The purpose of indicating the proper shipping name (see 3.1.2.1 and
3.1.2.2) and the UN number of a substance, material or article offered for
transport and, in the case of a marine pollutant, of the addition of “marine
pollutant” on documentation accompanying the consignment, and of marking the
proper shipping name in accordance with 5.2.1 on the package, including IBCs
containing the goods, is to ensure that the substance, material or article can
be readily identified during transport. This ready identification is
particularly important in the case of an accident involving these goods, in
order to determine what emergency procedures are necessary to deal properly with
the situation and, in the case of marine pollutants, for the master to comply
with the reporting requirements of Protocol I of MARPOL.

5.1.2 Use of overpacks and unit loads

5.1.2.1 An overpack and unit load shall be marked with the proper shipping name
and the UN number and marked and labelled, as required for packages by chapter
5.2, for each item of dangerous goods contained in the overpack or unit load
unless markings and labels representative of all dangerous goods in the overpack
or unit load are visible. An overpack, in addition, shall be marked with the
word “OVERPACK” unless markings and labels representative of all dangerous
goods, as required by chapter 5.2, in the overpack are visible, except as
required in 5.2.2.1.12. The lettering of the “OVERPACK” marking shall be at
least 12 mm high.

5.1.2.2 The individual packages comprising a unit load or an overpack shall be
marked and labelled in accordance with chapter 5.2. Each package of dangerous
goods contained in the unit load or overpack shall comply with all applicable
provisions of the Code. The “OVERPACK” mark on an overpack is an indication of
compliance with this provision. The intended function of each package shall not
be impaired by the unit load or overpack.

5.1.2.3 Each package bearing package orientation marks as prescribed in
5.2.1.7.1 of this Code and which is overpacked, placed in a unit load or used as
an inner packaging in a large packaging shall be oriented in accordance with
such marks.

5.1.3 Empty uncleaned packagings or units

5.1.3.1 Other than for class 7, a packaging, including an IBC, which previously
contained dangerous goods shall be identified, marked, labelled and placarded as
required for those dangerous goods unless steps such as cleaning, purging of
vapours or refilling with a non-dangerous substance are taken to nullify any
hazard.

5.1.3.2 Freight containers, tanks, IBCs, as well as other packagings and
overpacks, used for the transport of radioactive material shall not be used for
the transport of other goods unless decontaminated below the level of 0.4 Bq/cm2
for beta and gamma emitters and low-toxicity alpha emitters and 0.04 Bq/cm2 for
all other alpha emitters.

5.1.3.3 Empty cargo transport units still containing residues of dangerous
goods, or loaded with empty uncleaned packages or empty uncleaned bulk
containers, shall comply with the provisions applicable to the goods last
contained in the unit, packagings or bulk container.

5.1.4 Mixed packing

When two or more dangerous goods are packed within the same outer packaging, the
package shall be labelled and marked as required for each substance. Subsidiary
risk labels need not be applied if the hazard is already represented by a
primary risk label.

5.1.5 General provisions for class 7

5.1.5.1 Approval of shipments and notification

5.1.5.1.1 General

In addition to the approval of package designs described in chapter 6.4,
multilateral shipment approval is also required in certain circumstances
(5.1.5.1.2 and 5.1.5.1.3). In some circumstances it is also necessary to notify
competent authorities of a shipment (5.1.5.1.4).

5.1.5.1.2 Shipment approvals

Multilateral approval shall be required for:

.1       the shipment of Type B(M) packages not conforming with the provisions
of 6.4.7.5 or designed to allow controlled intermittent venting;

.2       the shipment of Type B(M) packages containing radioactive material with
an activity greater than 3,000A1 or 3,000A2, as appropriate, or 1,000 TBq,
whichever is the lower;

.3       the shipment of packages containing fissile materials if the sum of the
criticality safety indexes of the packages in a single freight container or in a
single conveyance exceeds 50. Excluded from this requirement shall be shipments
by seagoing vessels, if the sum of the criticality safety indexes does not
exceed 50 for any hold, compartment or defined deck area and the distance of 6 m
between groups of packages or overpacks as required in table 7.1.4.5.3.4 is met;
and

.4       radiation protection programmes for shipments by special use vessels in
accordance with 7.1.4.5.7

except that a competent authority may authorize transport into or through its
country without shipment approval, by a specific provision in its design
approval (see 5.1.5.2.1).

5.1.5.1.3 Shipment approval by special arrangement

Provisions may be approved by a competent authority under which a consignment
which does not satisfy all of the applicable provisions of this Code may be
transported under special arrangement (see 1.5.4).

5.1.5.1.4 Notifications

Notification to competent authorities is required as follows:

.1       Before the first shipment of any package requiring competent authority
approval, the consignor shall ensure that copies of each applicable competent
authority certificate applying to that package design have been submitted to the
competent authority of the country of origin of the shipment and to the
competent authority of each country through or into which the consignment is to
be transported. The consignor is not required to await an acknowledgement from
the competent authority, nor is the competent authority required to make such
acknowledgement of receipt of the certificate.

.2       For each of the following types of shipments:

.1       Type C packages containing radioactive material with an activity
greater than 3,000A1 or 3,000A2, as appropriate, or 1,000 TBq, whichever is the
lower;

.2       Type B(U) packages containing radioactive material with an activity
greater than 3,000A1 or 3,000A2, as appropriate, or 1,000 TBq, whichever is the
lower;

.3       Type B(M) packages;

.4       shipment under special arrangement; the consignor shall notify the
competent authority of the country of origin of the shipment and the competent
authority of each country through or into which the consignment is to be
transported. This notification shall be in the hands of each competent authority
prior to the commencement of the shipment, and preferably at least 7 days in
advance.

.3       The consignor is not required to send a separate notification if the
required information has been included in the application for approval of
shipment (see 6.4.23.2).

.4       The consignment notification shall include:



.1       sufficient information to enable the identification of the package or
packages, including all applicable certificate numbers and identification marks;



.2       information on the date of shipment, the expected date of arrival and
proposed routeing;

.3       the names of the radioactive material or nuclides;

.4       descriptions of the physical and chemical forms of the radioactive
material, or whether it is special form radioactive material or low dispersible
radioactive material; and

.5       the maximum activity of the radioactive contents during transport,
expressed in units of becquerels (Bq) with an appropriate SI prefix symbol (see
1.2.2.1). For fissile material, the mass of fissile material (or of each fissile
nuclide for mixtures when appropriate) in units of grams (g), or multiples
thereof, may be used in place of activity.

5.1.5.2 Certificates issued by competent authority

5.1.5.2.1 Certificates issued by the competent authority are required for the
following:

.1       designs for:

.1       special form radioactive material;

.2       low dispersible radioactive material;

.3       fissile material excepted under 2.7.2.3.5.6;

.4       packages containing 0.1 kg or more of uranium hexafluoride;

.6       Type B(U) packages and Type B(M) packages;

.7       Type C packages;

.2       special arrangements;

.3       certain shipments (see 5.1.5.1.2);

.4       determination of the basic radionuclide values referred to in 2.7.2.2.1
for individual radionuclides which are not listed in table 2.7.2.2.1 (see
2.7.2.2.2.1);

.5       alternative activity limits for an exempt consignment of instruments or
articles (see 2.7.2.2.2.2).



The certificates shall confirm that the applicable provisions are met, and for
design approvals shall attribute to the design an identification mark.



The certificates of approval for the package design and the shipment may be
combined into a single certificate.

Certificates and applications for these certificates shall be in accordance with
the provisions in 6.4.23.

5.1.5.2.2 The consignor shall be in possession of a copy of each applicable
certificate.

5.1.5.2.3 For package designs where it is not required that a competent
authority issue a certificate of approval, the consignor shall, on request, make
available, for inspection by the relevant competent authority, documentary
evidence of the compliance of the package design with all the applicable
provisions.

5.1.5.3 Determination of transport index (TI) and criticality safety index (CSI)

5.1.5.3.1 The transport index (TI) for a package, overpack or freight container,
or for unpackaged LSA-I or SCO-I, shall be the number derived in accordance with
the following procedure:

.1       determine the maximum radiation level in units of millisieverts per
hour (mSv/h) at a distance of 1 m from the external surfaces of the package,
overpack, freight container, or unpackaged LSA-I and SCO-I. The value determined
shall be multiplied by 100 and the resulting number is the transport index. For
uranium and thorium ores and their concentrates, the maximum radiation level at
any point 1 m from the external surface of the load may be taken as:

 0.4 mSv/h             for ores and physical concentrates of uranium and
thorium;

 0.3 mSv/h             for chemical concentrates of thorium;

 0.02 mSv/h           for chemical concentrates of uranium, other than uranium
hexafluoride;

.2       for tanks, freight containers and unpackaged LSA-I and SCO-I, the value
determined in 5.1.5.3.1.1 above shall be multiplied by the appropriate factor
from table 5.1.5.3.1;

.3       the value obtained in 5.1.5.3.1.1 and 5.1.5.3.1.2 above shall be
rounded up to the first decimal place (e.g. 1.13 becomes 1.2), except that a
value of 0.05 or less may be considered as zero.

5.1.5.3.2 The transport index for each overpack, freight container or conveyance
shall be determined as either the sum of the TIs of all the packages contained,
or by direct measurement of radiation level, except in the case of non-rigid
overpacks for which the transport index shall be determined only as the sum of
the TIs of all the packages.

5.1.5.3.3 The criticality safety index for each overpack or freight container
shall be determined as the sum of the CSIs of all the packages contained. The
same procedure shall be followed for determining the total sum of the CSIs in a
consignment or aboard a conveyance.

5.1.5.3.4 Packages, overpacks and freight containers shall be assigned to either
category I – WHITE, II – YELLOW or III – YELLOW in accordance with the
conditions specified in table 5.1.5.3.4 and with the following requirements:



.1       for a package, overpack or freight container, both the transport index
and the surface radiation level conditions shall be taken into account in
determining which is the appropriate category. Where the transport index
satisfies the condition for one category but the surface radiation level
satisfies the condition for a different category, the package, overpack or
freight container shall be assigned to the higher category. For this purpose,
category I – WHITE shall be regarded as the lowest category;



.2       the transport index shall be determined following the procedures
specified in 5.1.5.3.1 and 5.1.5.3.2;

.3       if the surface radiation level is greater than 2 mSv/h, the package or
overpack shall be transported under exclusive use and under the provisions of
7.1.4.5.6 or 7.1.4.5.7, as appropriate;

.4       a package transported under a special arrangement shall be assigned to
category III – YELLOW except under the provisions of 5.1.5.3.5;

.5       an overpack or freight container which contains packages transported
under special arrangement shall be assigned to category III – YELLOW except
under the provisions of 5.1.5.3.5.

5.1.5.3.5 In all cases of international transport of packages requiring
competent authority approval of design or shipment, for which different approval
types apply in the different countries concerned by the shipment, the
categorization shall be in accordance with the certificate of the country of
origin of design.

5.1.5.4 Specific provisions for excepted packages of radioactive material of
class 7

5.1.5.4.1 Excepted packages of radioactive material of class 7 shall be legibly
and durably marked on the outside of the packaging with:

5.1.6 Packages packed into a cargo transport unit

5.1.6.1 Regardless of the placarding and marking provisions for cargo transport
units, each package containing dangerous goods packed into a cargo transport
unit shall be marked and labelled in accordance with the requirements of chapter
5.2.

 

Chapter 5.2. Marking and labelling of packages including IBCs



Note: These provisions relate essentially to the marking and labelling of
dangerous goods according to their properties. However, additional markings or
symbols indicating precautions to be taken in handling or storing a package
(such as a symbol representing an umbrella, indicating that a package shall be
kept dry) may be displayed on a package if appropriate.

5.2.1 Marking of packages including IBCs

5.2.1.1 Unless provided otherwise in this Code, the proper shipping name for the
dangerous goods as determined in accordance with 3.1.2 and the corresponding UN
number, preceded by the letters “UN”, shall be displayed on each package. The UN
number and the letters “UN” shall be at least 12 mm high, except for packages of
30 litres capacity or less or of 30 kg maximum net mass or less and for
cylinders of 60 litres water capacity or less when they shall be at least 6 mm
in height and except for packages of 5 litres or 5 kg or less when they shall be
of an appropriate size. In the case of unpackaged articles, the mark shall be
displayed on the article, on its cradle or on its handling, storage or launching
device. For goods of division 1.4, compatibility group S, the division and
compatibility group letter shall also be marked unless the label for 1.4S is
displayed. A typical package mark is:

CORROSIVE LIQUID, ACIDIC, ORGANIC, N.O.S. (caprylyl chloride) UN 3265.

Note: Cylinders of 60 L water capacity or less marked with a UN number in
accordance with the provisions of the IMDG Code up to 31 December 2013 and which
do not conform to the provisions of 5.2.1.1 regarding the size of the UN number
and of the letters “UN” applicable as from 1 January 2014 may continue to be
used until the next periodic inspection but no later than 1 July 2018.

5.2.1.2 All package marks required by 5.2.1.1:

.1       shall be readily visible and legible;

.2       shall be such that this information will still be identifiable on
packages surviving at least three months’ immersion in the sea. In considering
suitable marking methods, account shall be taken of the durability of the
packaging materials used and the surface of the package;

.3       shall be displayed on a background of contrasting colour on the
external surface of the package; and

.4       shall not be located with other package marks that could substantially
reduce their effectiveness.

5.2.1.3 Salvage packagings and salvage pressure receptacles shall additionally
be marked with the word “SALVAGE”. The lettering of the “SALVAGE” mark shall be
at least 12 mm high.

5.2.1.4 Intermediate bulk containers of more than 450 L capacity and large
packagings shall be marked on two opposing sides.

5.2.1.5 Special marking provisions for radioactive material

5.2.1.5.1 Each package shall be legibly and durably marked on the outside of the
packaging with an identification of either the consignor or consignee, or both.
Each overpack shall be legibly and durably marked on the outside of the overpack
with an identification of either the consignor or consignee, or both unless
these marks of all packages within the overpack are clearly visible.

5.2.1.5.2 The marking of excepted packages of radioactive material of class 7
shall be as required by 5.1.5.4.1.

5.2.1.5.3 Each package of gross mass exceeding 50 kg shall have its permissible
gross mass legibly and durably marked on the outside of the packaging.

5.2.1.5.4 Each package which conforms to:

.1       a Type IP-1 package, a Type IP-2 package or a Type IP-3 package design
shall be legibly and durably marked on the outside of the packaging with “TYPE
IP-1”, “TYPE IP-2” or “TYPE IP-3” as appropriate;

.2       a Type A package design shall be legibly and durably marked on the
outside of the packaging with “TYPE A”;

.3       a Type IP-2 package, a Type IP-3 package or a Type A package design
shall be legibly and durably marked on the outside of the packaging with the
international vehicle registration code (VRI code) of the country of origin of
design and either the name of the manufacturer or other identification of the
packaging specified by the competent authority of the country of origin of

5.2.2 Labelling of packages including IBCs

5.2.2.1 Labelling provisions

These provisions are related essentially to danger labels. However, additional
marks or symbols indicating precautions to be taken in handling or storing a
package (such as a symbol representing an umbrella, indicating that a package
shall be kept dry) may be displayed on a package if appropriate.

5.2.2.1.1 Labels identifying primary and subsidiary risks shall conform to
models Nos. 1 to 9 illustrated in 5.2.2.2.2. The “EXPLOSIVE” subsidiary risk
label is model No. 1.

5.2.2.1.2 Where articles or substances are specifically listed in the Dangerous
Goods List, a danger class label shall be affixed for the hazard shown in column
3. A subsidiary risk label shall also be affixed for any risk indicated by a
class or division number in column 4 of the Dangerous Goods List. However,
special provisions indicated in column 6 may also require a subsidiary risk
label where no subsidiary risk is indicated in column 4 or may be exempt from
the requirement for a subsidiary risk label where such a risk is indicated in
the Dangerous Goods List.

5.2.2.1.2.1 A package containing a dangerous substance which has a low degree of
danger may be exempt from these labelling requirements. In this case, a special
provision specifying that no hazard label is required appears in column 6 of the
Dangerous Goods List for the relevant substance. However, for certain substances
the package shall be marked with the appropriate text as it appears in the
special provision, for example:

†    Exempt from class marking when loaded in a cargo transport unit containing
only fishmeal under UN 1374.

‡    Exempt from class marking when loaded in a cargo transport unit containing
only batteries under UN 2800.

 

5.2.2.1.3 Except as provided in 5.2.2.1.3.1, if a substance which meets the
definition of more than one class is not specifically listed by name in the
Dangerous Goods List in chapter 3.2, the provisions in chapter 2.0 shall be used
to determine the primary risk class of the goods. In addition to the label
required for that primary risk class, subsidiary risk labels shall also be
applied as specified in the Dangerous Goods List.

5.2.2.1.3.1 Packagings containing substances of class 8 need not bear subsidiary
risk label model No. 6.1 if the toxicity arises solely from the destructive
effect on tissue. Substances of class 4.2 need not bear subsidiary risk label
model No. 4.1.

5.2.2.1.5 Three separate labels have been provided for class 2, one for
flammable gases of class 2.1 (red), one for non-flammable, non-toxic gases of
class 2.2 (green) and one for toxic gases of class 2.3 (white). Where the
Dangerous Goods List indicates that a class 2 gas possesses single or multiple
subsidiary risks, labels shall be used in accordance with the table in
5.2.2.1.4.

5.2.2.1.6 Except as provided in 5.2.2.2.1.2, each label shall:

.1       be located on the same surface of the package near the proper shipping
name mark, if the package dimensions are adequate;

.2       be so placed on the packaging that it is not covered or obscured by any
part or attachment to the packaging or any other label or mark; and

.3       when primary and subsidiary risk labels are required, be displayed next
to each other.

Where a package is of such an irregular shape or small size that a label cannot
be satisfactorily affixed, the label may be attached to the package by a
securely affixed tag or other suitable means.

5.2.2.1.7 Intermediate bulk containers of more than 450 L capacity and large
packagings shall be labelled on two opposing sides.

5.2.2.1.8 Labels shall be affixed on a surface of contrasting colour.

5.2.2.1.9 Special provisions for the labelling of self-reactive substances

An “EXPLOSIVE” subsidiary risk label (No. 1) shall be applied for type B
self-reactive substances, unless the competent authority has permitted this
label to be dispensed with for a specific packaging because test data have
proved that the self-reactive substance in such a packaging does not exhibit
explosive behaviour.

5.2.2.1.10 Special provisions for the labelling of organic peroxides

The class 5.2 label (model No. 5.2) shall be affixed to packages containing
organic peroxides classified as types B, C, D, E or F. This label also implies
that the product may be flammable and hence no “FLAMMABLE LIQUID” subsidiary
risk label (model No. 3) is required. In addition, the following subsidiary risk
labels shall be applied:

.1       An “EXPLOSIVE” subsidiary risk label (model No. 1) for organic
peroxides type B, unless the competent authority has permitted this label to be
dispensed with for a specific packaging because test data have proved that the
organic peroxide in such a packaging does not exhibit explosive behaviour.

.2       A “CORROSIVE” subsidiary risk label (model No. 8) is required when
packing group I or II criteria of class 8 are met.

5.2.2.1.11 Special provisions for the labelling of infectious substances
packages

In addition to the primary risk label (model No. 6.2), infectious substances
packages shall bear any other label required by the nature of the contents.

5.2.2.1.12 Special provisions for the labelling of radioactive material

5.2.2.1.12.1 Except when enlarged labels are used in accordance with
5.3.1.1.5.1, each package, overpack and freight container containing radioactive
material shall bear the labels conforming to the applicable model Nos. 7A, 7B or
7C, according to the appropriate category. Labels shall be affixed to two
opposite sides on the outside of the package or overpack or on the outside of
all four sides of a freight container or tank. Each overpack containing
radioactive material shall bear at least two labels on opposite sides of the
outside of the overpack. In addition, each package, overpack and freight
container containing fissile material, other than fissile material excepted
under the provisions of 2.7.2.3.5, shall bear labels conforming to model No. 7E;
such labels, where applicable, shall be affixed adjacent to the labels
conforming to the applicable model Nos. 7A, 7B or 7C. Labels shall not cover the
marks specified in this chapter. Any labels which do not relate to the contents
shall be removed or covered.

5.2.2.1.12.2 Each label conforming to the applicable model No. 7A, 7B or 7C
shall be completed with the following information:

.1       Contents:

.1       Except for LSA-I material, the name(s) of the radionuclide(s) as taken
from the table under 2.7.2.2.1, using the symbols prescribed therein. For
mixtures of radionuclides, the most restrictive nuclides must be listed to the
extent the space on the line permits. The group of LSA or SCO shall be shown
following the name(s) of the radionuclide(s). The terms “LSA-II”, “LSA-III”,
“SCO-I” and “SCO-II” shall be used for this purpose.

.2       For LSA-I material, the term “LSA-I” is all that is necessary; the name
of the radionuclide is not necessary.

.2       Activity: The maximum activity of the radioactive contents during
transport, expressed in units of becquerels (Bq) with the appropriate SI prefix
symbol (see 1.2.2.1). For fissile material, the total mass of fissile nuclides
in units of grams (g), or multiples thereof, may be used in place of activity.

.3       For overpacks and freight containers, the “contents” and “activity”
entries on the label shall bear the information required in 5.2.2.1.12.2.1 and
5.2.2.1.12.2.2, respectively, totalled together for the entire contents of the
overpack or freight container except that, on labels for overpacks or freight
containers containing mixed loads of packages containing different
radionuclides, such entries may read “See transport documents”.

.4       Transport index: The number determined in accordance with 5.1.5.3.1 and
5.1.5.3.2. (No transport index entry is required for category I – WHITE.)

5.2.2.1.12.3 Each label conforming to the model No. 7E shall be completed with
the criticality safety index (CSI) as stated in the certificate of approval
applicable in the countries through or into which the consignment is transported
and issued by the competent authority or as specified in 6.4.11.2 or 6.4.11.3.

5.2.2.1.12.4 For overpacks and freight containers, the label conforming to model
No. 7E shall bear the sum of the criticality safety indexes of all the packages
contained therein.

5.2.2.1.12.5 In all cases of international transport of packages requiring
competent authority approval of design or shipment, for which different approval
types apply in the different countries concerned by the shipment, labelling
shall be in accordance with the certificate of the country of origin of design.

5.2.2.2 Provisions for labels

5.2.2.2.1 Labels shall satisfy the provisions of this section and conform, in
terms of colour, symbols, numbers and general format, to the specimen labels
shown in 5.2.2.2.2.

Note: Where appropriate, labels in 5.2.2.2.2 are shown with a dotted outer
boundary as provided for in 5.2.2.2.1.1. This is not required when the label is
applied on a background of contrasting colour.

5.2.2.2.1.1 Labels shall be configured as shown in the figure below:



Class/division label

*  The class or, for divisions 5.1 and 5.2, the division number shall be shown
in the bottom corner.

**  Additional text/numbers/symbol/letters shall (if mandatory) or may (if
optional) be shown in this bottom half.

***  The class or division symbol or, for divisions 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6, the
division number, and for model No. 7E, the word “FISSILE” shall be shown in this
top half.

 

5.2.2.2.1.1.1 Labels shall be displayed on a background of contrasting colour,
or shall have either a dotted or solid outer boundary line.

5.2.2.2.1.1.2 The label shall be in the form of a square set at an angle of 45°
(diamond-shaped). The minimum dimensions shall be 100 mm × 100 mm and the
minimum width of the line inside the edge forming the diamond shall be 2 mm. The
line inside the edge shall be parallel and 5 mm from the outside of that line to
the edge of the label. The line inside the edge on the upper half of the label
shall be the same colour as the symbol and the line inside the edge on the lower
half of the label shall be the same colour as the class or division number in
the bottom corner. Where dimensions are not specified, all features shall be in
approximate proportion to those shown.

5.2.2.2.1.1.3 If the size of the package so requires the dimensions may be
reduced, provided the symbols and other elements of the label remain clearly
visible. The line inside the edge shall remain 5 mm to the edge of the label.
The minimum width of the line inside the edge shall remain 2 mm. Dimensions for
cylinders shall comply with 5.2.2.2.1.2.

5.2.2.2.1.2 Cylinders for class 2 may, on account of their shape, orientation
and securing mechanisms for transport, bear labels representative of those
specified in this section, which have been reduced in size, according to ISO
7225:2005, for display on the non-cylindrical part (shoulder) of such cylinders.
Labels may overlap to the extent provided for by ISO 7225:2005, Gas cylinders –
Precautionary labels; however, in all cases, the labels representing the primary
hazard and the numbers appearing on any label shall remain fully visible and the
symbols recognizable.

Note: When the diameter of the cylinder is too small to permit the display of
the reduced size labels on the non-cylindrical upper part of the cylinder, the
reduced sized labels may be displayed on the cylindrical part.

5.2.2.2.1.3 With the exception of labels for divisions 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6 of class
1, the upper half of the label shall contain the pictorial symbol and the lower
half shall contain the class number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.1, 5.2, 6, 7, 8 or 9 as
appropriate. The label may include text such as the UN number, or words
describing the hazard class (e.g. “flammable”) or for label No. 9A the symbol in
accordance with 5.2.2.2.1.5 provided the text does not obscure or detract from
the other required label elements.

5.2.2.2.1.4 In addition, except for divisions 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6, labels for class
1 shall show in the lower half, above the class number, the division number and
compatibility group letter for the substance or article. Labels for divisions
1.4, 1.5 and 1.6 shall show in the upper half the division number and in the
lower half the class number and the compatibility group letter. For division
1.4, compatibility group S, no label is generally required. However, in cases
where a label is considered necessary for such goods, it shall be based on model
No. 1.4.

5.2.2.2.1.5 On labels other than those for material of class 7, the insertion of
any text (other than the class or division number) in the space below the symbol
shall be confined to particulars indicating the nature of the risk and
precautions to be taken in handling. For label No. 9A, no text other than the
class mark shall be included in the bottom part of the label.

5.2.2.2.1.6 The symbols, text and numbers shall be shown in black on all labels
except for:

.1       the class 8 label, where the text (if any) and class number shall
appear in white;

.2       labels with entirely green, red or blue backgrounds, where they may be
shown in white;

.3       the class 5.2 label, where the symbol may be shown in white; and

.4       class 2.1 labels displayed on cylinders and gas cartridges for
liquefied petroleum gases, where they may be shown in the background colour of
the receptacle if adequate contrast is provided.

5.2.2.2.1.7 The method of affixing the label(s) or applying stencil(s) of
label(s) on packages containing dangerous goods shall be such that the label(s)
or stencil(s) will still be identifiable on packages surviving at least three
months’ immersion in the sea. In considering suitable labelling methods, account
shall be taken of the durability of the packaging materials used and the surface
of the package.

5.2.2.2.2 Specimen labels

Note: Labels shall satisfy the provisions below and conform, in terms of colour,
symbols and general format, to the models shown in 5.2.2.2.2. Corresponding
models required for other modes of transport, with minor variations which do not
affect the obvious meaning of the label, are also acceptable.

Chapter 5.3. Placarding and marking of cargo transport units

5.3.1 Placarding

5.3.1.1 Placarding provisions

5.3.1.1.1 General provisions

.1       Enlarged labels (placards) and marks and signs shall be affixed to the
exterior surfaces of a cargo transport unit to provide a warning that the
contents of the unit are dangerous goods and present risks, unless the labels
and/or marks affixed to the packages are clearly visible from the exterior of
the cargo transport unit.

.2       The methods of placarding and marking as required in 5.3.1.1.4 and
5.3.2 on cargo transport units shall be such that this information will still be
identifiable on cargo transport units surviving at least three months’ immersion
in the sea. In considering suitable marking methods, account shall be taken of
the ease with which the surface of the cargo transport unit can be marked.

.3       All placards, orange panels, marks and signs shall be removed from
cargo transport units or masked as soon as both the dangerous goods or their
residues which led to the application of those placards, orange panels, marks or
signs are discharged.

5.3.1.1.2 Placards shall be affixed to the exterior surface of cargo transport
units to provide a warning that the contents of the unit are dangerous goods and
present risks. Placards shall correspond to the primary risk of the goods
contained in the cargo transport unit except that:

.1       placards are not required on cargo transport units carrying any
quantity of explosives of division 1.4, compatibility group S; and

.2       placards indicating the highest risk only need be affixed on cargo
transport units carrying substances and articles of more than one division in
class 1.

Placards shall be displayed on a background of contrasting colour, or shall have
either a dotted or solid outer boundary line.

For dangerous goods of class 9 the placard shall correspond to the label model
No. 9 as in 5.2.2.2.2; label model No. 9A shall not be used for placarding
purposes.

5.3.1.1.3 Placards shall also be displayed for those subsidiary risks for which
a subsidiary risk label is required according to 5.2.2.1.2. However, cargo
transport units containing goods of more than one class need not bear a
subsidiary risk placard if the hazard represented by that placard is already
indicated by a primary risk placard.

5.3.1.1.4 Placarding requirements

5.3.1.1.4.1 A cargo transport unit containing dangerous goods or residues of
dangerous goods shall clearly display placards as follows:

.1       a freight container, semi-trailer or portable tank: one on each side
and one on each end of the unit. Portable tanks having a capacity of not more
than 3,000 L may be placarded or, alternatively, may be labelled instead, on
only two opposite sides;

.2       a railway wagon: at least on each side;

.3       a multiple-compartment tank containing more than one dangerous
substance or their residues: along each side at the positions of the relevant
compartments. If all compartments are required to display the same placards,
these placards need to be displayed only once along each side of the cargo
transport unit; and

.4       any other cargo transport unit: at least on both sides and on the back
of the unit.

5.3.1.1.5 Special provisions for class 7

5.3.1.1.5.1 Large freight containers carrying packages other than excepted
packages, and tanks, shall bear four placards which conform with the model No.
7D given in the figure. The placards shall be affixed in a vertical orientation
to each side wall and each end wall of the large freight container or tank. Any
placards which do not relate to the contents shall be removed. Instead of using
both labels and placards, it is permitted as an alternative to use enlarged
labels only, as shown in label model Nos. 7A, 7B and 7C, except having the
minimum size shown in the figure under 5.3.1.2.2.

5.3.1.1.5.2 Rail and road vehicles carrying packages, overpacks or freight
containers labelled with any of the labels shown in 5.2.2.2.2 as model Nos. 7A,
7B, 7C and 7E, or carrying consignments under exclusive use, shall display the
placard shown in the figure (model No. 7D) on each of:

.1       the two external lateral walls, in the case of a rail vehicle;

.2       the two external lateral walls and the external rear wall, in the case
of a road vehicle.

In the case of a vehicle without sides, the placards may be affixed directly on
the cargo-carrying unit provided that they are readily visible; in the case of
physically large tanks or freight containers, the placards on the tanks or
freight containers shall suffice. In the case of vehicles which have
insufficient area to allow the fixing of larger placards, the dimensions of the
placard as described in the figure may be reduced to 100 mm. Any placards which
do not relate to the contents shall be removed.

5.3.1.2 Specifications for placards

5.3.1.2.1 Except as provided in 5.3.1.2.2 for the class 7 placard, and in
5.3.2.3.2 for the marine pollutant mark, a placard shall be configured as shown
in the figure below.



 

Placard (except for class 7)

The placard shall be in the form of a square set at an angle of 45°
(diamond-shaped). The minimum dimensions shall be 250 mm × 250 mm (to the edge
of the placard). The line inside the edge shall be parallel and 12.5 mm from the
outside of that line to the edge of the placard. The symbol and line inside the
edge shall correspond in colour to the label for the class or division of the
dangerous goods in question. The class or division symbol/ numeral shall be
positioned and sized in proportion to those prescribed in 5.2.2.2 for the
corresponding class or division of the dangerous goods in question. The placard
shall display the number of the class or division (and for goods in class 1, the
compatibility group letter) of the dangerous goods in question in the manner
prescribed in 5.2.2.2 for the corresponding label, in digits not less than 25 mm
high. Where dimensions are not specified, all features shall be in approximate
proportion to those shown.

Note: The provisions of 5.3.1.2.1 from the IMDG Code (amendment 36-12) may
continue to be applied until 31 December 2016.

5.3.1.2.2 For class 7, the placard shall have minimum overall dimensions of 250
mm by 250 mm (except as permitted by 5.3.1.1.5.2) with a black line running 5 mm
inside the edge and parallel with it, and shall be otherwise as shown in the
figure below. When different dimensions are used, the relative proportions shall
be maintained. The number “7” shall not be less than 25 mm high. The background
colour of the upper half of the placard shall be yellow and of the lower half
white; the colour of the trefoil and the printing shall be black. The use of the
word “RADIOACTIVE” in the bottom half is optional to allow the use of this
placard to display the appropriate United Nations Number for the consignment.
