RO–a–IE–3

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.
