Subject: Exemption from the requirement of 5.4.0 of the ADR for a transport document for the carriage of pesticides of ADR Class 3, listed under 2.2.3.3 as FT2 pesticides (f.p. < 23 °C) and ADR Class 6.1, listed under 2.2.61.3 as T6 pesticides, liquid (flash point not less than 23 °C), where the quantities of dangerous goods being carried do not exceed the quantities set out in 1.1.3.6 of the ADR. Reference to Annex I, Section I.1, to this Directive: 5.4. Content of the Annex to the Directive: Requirement for transport document. Content of the national legislation: A transport document is not required for the carriage of pesticides of ADR Classes 3 and 6.1, where the quantity of dangerous goods being carried does not exceed the quantities set out in 1.1.3.6 of the ADR. Initial reference to the national legislation: Regulation 82(9) of the ‘Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road Regulations 2004’. Comments: Unnecessary, onerous requirement for local transport and delivery of such pesticides. Expiry date: 30 June 2015. Subject: Exemption from some of the provisions of the ADR on the packaging, marking and labelling of the carriage of small quantities (below the limits in 1.1.3.6) of time expired pyrotechnic articles of classification codes 1.3G, 1.4G and 1.4S of Class 1 of the ADR, bearing the respective substance identification numbers UN 0092, UN 0093, UN 0403 or UN 0404, to the nearest military barracks for disposal. Reference to Annex I, Section I.1, to this Directive: 1.1.3.6, 4.1, 5.2 and 6.1. Content of the Annex to the Directive: Disposal of out of date pyrotechnics. Content of the national legislation: The provisions of the ADR on the packaging, marking and labelling of the carriage of expired pyrotechnic articles bearing the respective UN numbers UN 0092, UN 0093, UN 0403, UN 0404 to the nearest military barracks do not apply provided the general packaging provisions of the ADR are complied with and additional information is included in the transport document. It applies only to the local transport, to the nearest military barracks, of small quantities of these time expired pyrotechnics for safe disposal. Initial reference to the national legislation: Regulation 82(10) of the ‘Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road Regulations 2004’. Comments: The carriage of small quantities of ‘time expired’ marine emergency flares, especially from pleasure boat owners and ship chandlers, to military barracks for their safe disposal has created difficulties, particularly in relation to packaging requirements. The derogation is for small quantities (below those specified in 1.1.3.6) on local transport. Expiry date: 30 June 2015. Subject: Exemption from the requirements of 6.7 and 6.8, in relation to the transport by road of nominally empty uncleaned storage tanks (for storage at fixed locations) for the purpose of cleaning, repair, testing or scrapping. Reference to Annex I, Section I.1, to this Directive: 6.7 and 6.8. Content of the Annex to the Directive: Requirements for the design, construction, inspection and testing of tanks. Content of the national legislation: Exemption from the requirements of 6.7 and 6.8 of the ADR for the carriage by road of nominally empty uncleaned storage tanks (for storage at fixed premises) for the purpose of cleaning, repair, testing or scrapping, provided that (a) as much of the pipework which was connected to the tank as was reasonably practicable to remove from it has been removed; (b) a suitable pressure relief valve, which shall remain operational during the carriage, is fitted to the tank; and (c) subject to (b) above all openings in the tank and in any pipework attached thereto have been sealed to prevent the escape of any dangerous goods, insofar as it is reasonably practicable to do so. Initial reference to the national legislation: Proposed amendment to ‘Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road Regulations, 2004’. Comments: These tanks are used for the storage of substances at fixed premises and not for the transport of goods. They would contain very small quantities of dangerous goods while they (the tanks) were being transported to different premises for cleaning, repair etc. Previously under Article 6(10) of Directive 94/55/EC. Expiry date: 30 June 2015. Subject: Exemption from the requirements of 5.3, 5.4, 7 and Annex B of the ADR, in relation to the carriage of gas cylinders of dispensing agents (for beverages) where they are carried on the same vehicle as the beverages (for which they are to be used). Reference to Annex I, Section I.1, to this Directive: 5.3, 5.4, 7 and Annex B. Content of the Annex to the Directive: The marking of the vehicles, the documentation to be carried and the provisions concerning transport equipment and transport operations. Content of the national legislation: Exemption from the requirements of 5.3, 5.4, 7 and Annex B of the ADR for cylinders of gases, used as dispensing agents for beverages, where these cylinders of gases are carried on the same vehicle as the beverages (for which they are to be used). Initial reference to the national legislation: Proposed amendment to ‘Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road Regulations, 2004’. Comments: The main activity consists of the distribution of packages of beverages, which are not substances according to the ADR, together with small quantities of small cylinders of associated dispensing gases. Previously under Article 6(10) of Directive 94/55/EC. Expiry date: 30 June 2015. Subject: Exemption, for national transport within Ireland, from the construction and testing requirements for receptacles, and their provisions on use, contained in 6.2 and 4.1 of the ADR, for cylinders and pressure drums of gases of Class 2 that have undergone a multimodal transport journey, including maritime carriage, where (i) these cylinders and pressure drums are constructed, tested and used in accordance with the IMDG Code; (ii) these cylinders and pressure drums are not refilled in Ireland but returned nominally empty to the country of origin of the multimodal transport journey; and (iii) these cylinders and pressure drums are distributed locally in small quantities. Reference to Annex I, Section I.1, to this Directive: 1.1.4.2, 4.1 and 6.2. Content of the Annex to the Directive: Provisions relating to multimodal transport journeys, including maritime carriage, use of cylinders and pressure drums for gases of ADR Class 2, and construction and testing of these cylinders and pressure drums for gases of ADR Class 2. Content of the national legislation: The provisions of 4.1 and 6.2 do not apply to cylinders and pressure drums of gases of Class 2, provided (i) these cylinders and pressure drums are constructed and tested in accordance with the IMDG Code; (ii) these cylinders and pressure drums are used in accordance with the IMDG Code; (iii) these cylinders and pressure drums were transported to the consignor by means of multimodal transport, including maritime carriage; (iv) the transport of these cylinders and pressure drums to the final user consists only of a single transport journey, completed within the same day, from the consignee of the multimodal transport operation (referred to in (iii)); (v) these cylinders and pressure drums are not refilled within the State and are returned nominally empty to the country of origin of the multimodal transport operation (referred to in (iii)); and (vi) these cylinders and pressure drums are distributed locally within the State in small quantities. Initial reference to the national legislation: Proposed amendment to ‘Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road Regulations, 2004’. Comments: The gases contained in these cylinders and pressure drums are of a specification, required by the final user, which results in the need to import them from outside the ADR area. Following use, these nominally empty cylinders and pressure drums are required to be returned to the country of origin, for refilling with the specially specified gases – they are not to be refilled within Ireland or indeed within any part of the ADR area. Though not in compliance with the ADR, they are in compliance with and accepted for the purposes of the IMDG Code. The multimodal transport, beginning from outside the ADR area, is intended to finish at the importer’s premises, from where it is intended that these cylinders and pressure drums be distributed to the final user locally within Ireland in small quantities. This carriage, within Ireland, would fall within the amended Article 6(9) of Directive 94/55/EC. Expiry date: 30 June 2015.
