Subject: Carriage of hazardous waste to hazardous waste disposal plants. Reference to Annex I, Section I.1, to this Directive: 2, 5.2 and 6.1. Content of the Annex to the Directive: Classification, marking and labelling, and requirements for the construction and testing of packaging. Content of the national legislation: The legislation consists of simplified classification criteria, less restrictive requirements for the construction and testing of packaging, and modified labelling and marking requirements. Instead of classifying hazardous waste according to the ADR, it is assigned to different waste groups. Each waste group contains substances that can, in accordance with the ADR, be packed together (mixed packing). Each package must be marked with the relevant waste group code instead of the UN number. Initial reference to the national legislation: Särskilda bestämmelser om vissa inrikes transporter av farligt gods på väg och i terräng. Comments: These regulations may only be used for the carriage of hazardous waste from public recycling sites to hazardous waste disposal plants. Expiry date: 30 June 2015. Subject: The name and address of the consignor in the transport document. Reference to Annex I, Section I.1, to this Directive: 5.4.1.1. Content of the Annex to the Directive: General information required in the transport document. Content of the national legislation: National legislation states that the name and address of the consignor is not required if empty, uncleaned packaging is returned as part of a distribution system. Initial reference to the national legislation: Särskilda bestämmelser om vissa inrikes transporter av farligt gods på väg och i terräng. Comments: Empty uncleaned packaging being returned will in most cases still contain small quantities of dangerous goods. This derogation is mainly used by industries when returning empty uncleaned gas receptacles in exchange for full ones. Expiry date: 30 June 2015. Subject: Transport of dangerous goods in the close proximity of industrial site(s), including transport on public roads between various parts of the site(s). Reference to Annex I, Section I.1, to this Directive: Annexes A and B. Content of the Annex to the Directive: Requirements for the transport of dangerous goods on public roads. Content of the national legislation: Transport in the close proximity of industrial site(s), including transport on public roads between various parts of the site(s). The derogations concern the labelling and marking of packages, transport documents, driver’s certificate and certificate of approval according to 9. Initial reference to the national legislation: Särskilda bestämmelser om vissa inrikes transporter av farligt gods på väg och i terräng. Comments: There are several situations in which dangerous goods are transferred between premises situated on opposite sides of a public road. This form of transport does not constitute carriage of dangerous goods on a private road and should therefore be associated with the relevant requirements. Compare also with the Directive 96/49/EC, Article 6(14). Expiry date: 30 June 2015. Subject: Transport of dangerous goods that have been seized by the authorities. Reference to Annex I, Section I.1, to this Directive: Annex A and B. Content of the Annex to the Directive: Requirements for the transport of dangerous goods by road. Content of the national legislation: Deviations from the regulations may be permitted if they are motivated by reasons of labour protection, unloading risks, submission of evidence etc. Deviations from the regulations are permitted only if satisfactory safety levels are met during normal conditions of carriage. Initial reference to the national legislation: Särskilda bestämmelser om vissa inrikes transporter av farligt gods på väg och i terräng. Comments: These derogations may be applied only by authorities seizing dangerous goods. This derogation is intended for local transport e.g. of goods that have been seized by the police, such as explosives or stolen property. The problem with these types of goods is that one can never be sure of classifications. In addition, the goods are often not packed, marked or labelled in accordance with the ADR. There are several hundred such transportations carried out by the police every year. In the case of smuggled liquor, this must be transported from the place where it is seized to a facility where evidence is stored and then on to a facility for destruction; the latter two may be quite far apart from each other. The deviations permitted are: (a) each package does not need to be labelled; and (b) approved packages do not need to be used. However, each pallet containing such packages must be correctly labelled. All other requirements must be fulfilled. There are approximately 20 such transportations each year. Expiry date: 30 June 2015. Subject: Transport of dangerous goods in and in close proximity to ports. Reference to Annex I, Section I.1, to this Directive: 8.1.2, 8.1.5, 9.1.2. Content of the Annex to the Directive: Documents to be carried on the transport unit; every transport unit carrying dangerous goods must be equipped with the specified equipment; vehicle approval. Content of the national legislation: Documents (except for the driver’s certificate) need not be carried on the transport unit. A transport unit need not be equipped with the equipment specified in 8.1.5. Tractors need not have a certificate of approval. Initial reference to the national legislation: Särskilda bestämmelser om vissa inrikes transporter av farligt gods på väg och i terräng. Comments: Compare Directive 96/49/EC, Article 6(14). Expiry date: 30 June 2015. Subject: Inspectors’ ADR training certificate. Reference to Annex I, Section I.1, to this Directive: 8.2.1. Content of the Annex to the Directive: Drivers of vehicles must attend training courses. Content of the national legislation: Inspectors who perform the yearly technical inspection of the vehicle do not need to attend the training courses mentioned in 8.2 or hold the ADR training certificate. Initial reference to the national legislation: Särskilda bestämmelser om vissa inrikes transporter av farligt gods på väg och i terräng. Comments: In some cases, vehicles being tested in the technical inspection may be carrying dangerous goods as load, e.g. uncleaned, empty tanks. The requirements in 1.3 and 8.2.3 are still applicable. Expiry date: 30 June 2015. Subject: Local distribution of UN 1202, 1203 and 1223 in tankers. Reference to Annex I, Section I.1, to this Directive: 5.4.1.1.6, 5.4.1.4.1. Content of the Annex to the Directive: For empty uncleaned tanks and tank-containers the description shall be in accordance with 5.4.1.1.6. The name and address of multiple consignees may be entered in other documents. Content of the national legislation: For empty, uncleaned tanks or tank-containers the description in the transport document according to 5.4.1.1.6 is not needed if the amount of the substance in the loading plan is marked with 0. The name and address of the consignees are not required in any document on board the vehicle. Initial reference to the national legislation: Särskilda bestämmelser om vissa inrikes transporter av farligt gods på väg och i terräng. Expiry date: 30 June 2015. Subject: Local transport in relation to agricultural sites or construction sites. Reference to Annex I, Section I.1, to this Directive: 5.4, 6.8 and 9.1.2. Content of the Annex to the Directive: Transport document; Construction of tanks; Certificate of approval. Content of the national legislation: Local transport in relation to agricultural sites or construction sites need not comply with some regulations: the dangerous goods declaration is not required; older tanks/containers not constructed according to 6.8 but according to older national legislation and fitted on crew wagons may still be used; older tankers, not fulfilling the requirements in 6.7 or 6.8, intended for the transport of substances of UN 1268, 1999, 3256 and 3257, with or without road surface coating equipment, may still be used for local transport and in close proximity to road workplaces; certificates of approval for crew wagons and tankers with or without road surface coating equipment are not required. Initial reference to the national legislation: Särskilda bestämmelser om vissa inrikes transporter av farligt gods på väg och i terräng. Comments: A crew wagon is a kind of caravan for a work crew with a crew room and fitted with a non-approved tank/container for diesel fuel intended for the operation of forestry tractors. Expiry date: 30 June 2015. Subject: Tank transport of explosives. Reference to Annex I, Section I.1, to this Directive: 4.1.4. Content of the Annex to the Directive: Explosives may be packaged only in accordance with 4.1.4. Content of the national legislation: The competent national authority will approve vehicles intended for tank transport of explosives. Tank transport is permissible only for those explosives listed in the regulation or by special authorisation from the competent authority. A vehicle loaded with explosives in tanks must be marked and labelled in accordance with 5.3.2.1.1, 5.3.1.1.2 and 5.3.1.4. Only one vehicle in the transport unit may contain dangerous goods. Initial reference to the national legislation: Appendix S — Specific regulations for the domestic transport of dangerous goods by road issued in accordance with the Transport of Dangerous Goods Act and the Swedish regulation SÄIFS 1993:4. Comments: This is applicable only to domestic transport and when the transport operation is mostly of a local nature. The regulations in question were in force before Sweden joined the European Union. Only two companies perform transport operations with explosives in tank-vehicles. In the near future transition to emulsions is expected. Old derogation No 84. Expiry date: 30 June 2015. Subject: Driver’s licence Reference to Annex I, Section I.1, to this Directive: 8.2. Content of the Annex to the Directive: Requirements concerning the training of the vehicle crew. Content of the national legislation: Driver training is not permitted with any vehicle referred to in 8.2.1.1. Initial reference to the national legislation: Appendix S — Specific regulations for the domestic transport of dangerous goods by road issued in accordance with the Transport of Dangerous Goods Act. Comments: Local transport. Expiry date: 30 June 2015. Subject: Carriage of UN 0335 fireworks. Reference to Annex I, Section I.1, to this Directive: Annex B, 7.2.4, V2 (1). Content of the Annex to the Directive: Provisions for the use of EX/II and EX/III vehicles. Content of the national legislation: When carrying UN 0335 fireworks, Special Provision V2(1) in 7.2.4 is applicable only to a net explosive content of more than 3000 kg (4000 kg with trailer), provided the fireworks have been assigned to UN 0335 according to the default fireworks classification table in 2.1.3.5.5 of the 14th revised edition of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods. Such assignment shall be made with the agreement of the competent authority. A verification of the assignment shall be carried on the transport unit. Initial reference to the national legislation: Appendix S — Specific regulations for the domestic transport of dangerous goods by road issued in accordance with the Transport of Dangerous Goods Act. Comments: The carriage of fireworks is limited in time to two short periods of the year, the turn of the year and the turn of the month April/May. The carriage from consignors to terminals can be effected by the present fleet of EX-approved vehicles without great problems. However, the distribution both of fireworks from terminals to shopping areas and of the surplus back to the terminal is limited due to a lack of EX-approved vehicles. The carriers are not interested in investing in such approvals because they cannot recover their costs. This places the whole existence of consignors of fireworks in jeopardy because they cannot get their products on the market. When using this derogation, the classification of the fireworks must be made on the basis of the default list in the UN Recommendations, in order to get the most up-to-date classification possible. A similar type of exception exists for UN 0336 fireworks incorporated in Special Provision 651, 3.3.1 of the ADR 2005. Expiry date: 30 June 2015.
