Subject: Exemption from the requirement of 5.4.1.1.1, to have (i) the names and addresses of the consignees; (ii) the number and description of the packages; and (iii) the total quantity of dangerous goods in the transport document, where kerosene, diesel fuel or liquefied petroleum gas bearing the respective substance identification numbers UN 1223, UN 1202 and UN 1965 are being carried to the end-user. Reference to Annex I, Section I.1, to this Directive: 5.4. Content of the Annex to the Directive: Documentation. Content of the national legislation: Where kerosene, diesel fuel or liquefied petroleum gas, bearing the respective substance identification numbers UN 1223, UN 1202 and UN 1965 as specified in Appendix B.5 of Annex B to the ADR, are being carried to the end-user, it is not necessary to include the name and address of the consignee, the number and description of the packages, Intermediate Bulk Containers or receptacles, or the total quantity being carried, on the transport unit.

Comments: In the case of delivery of home heating oil to domestic customers, it is common practice to ‘top up’ the customer’s storage tank — hence the actual delivery is unknown and also the number of customers (in any one run) is also unknown at the time the loaded tanker begins its journey. In the case of delivery of cylinders of LPG to households, it is common practice to replace empty cylinders with full ones — hence the number of customers and their individual consignments are unknown at the beginning of the transport operation. Expiry date: 30 June 2015. Subject: Exemption to allow the transport document, required in 5.4.1.1.1, to be that for the last load in the case of the transport of empty uncleaned tanks.

Content of the national legislation: In the case of the carriage of empty uncleaned tanks, the transport document for the last load is sufficient. Initial reference to the national legislation: Regulation 82(3) of the ‘Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road Regulations, 2004’.

Expiry date: 30 June 2015.

Initial reference to the national legislation: Regulation 82(7) of the ‘Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road Regulations, 2004’. Comments: To permit, under conditions approved by the competent authority, the loading of articles and substances of Class 1 Compatibility Groups B and D on the same vehicle with dangerous goods, in tanks, of Classes 3, 5.1 and 8 – i.e. ‘Pump trucks’. Expiry date: 30 June 2015.

Content of the national legislation: Flexible hose reels (including fixed pipelines associated with them) attached to tank-vehicles engaged in the retail distribution of petroleum products with substance identification numbers UN 1202, UN 1223, UN 1011 and UN 1978 are not required to be empty during carriage by road, provided adequate measures are taken to prevent any loss of contents. Initial reference to the national legislation: Regulation 82(8) of the ‘Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road Regulations, 2004’. Comments: Flexible hoses fitted to home delivery tank-vehicles must remain full at all times even during transport. The discharge system is known as a ‘wet-line’ system that requires the tank-vehicle’s meter and hose to be primed so as to ensure the customer receives the correct quantity of product.

Subject: Exemption from some requirements of 5.4.0, 5.4.1.1.1 and 7.5.11 of the ADR for the transport in bulk of ammonium nitrate fertiliser UN 2067 from ports to consignees. Reference to Annex I, Section I.1, to this Directive: 5.4.0, 5.4.1.1.1 and 7.5.11. Content of the Annex to the Directive: The requirement for a separate transport document, with the correct total quantity for the particular load included, for each transport journey; and the requirement for the vehicle to be cleaned before and after the journey. Content of the national legislation: Proposed derogation to allow modifications to the requirements of the ADR on the transport document and vehicle cleaning; to take account of the practicalities of bulk transport from port to consignee. Initial reference to the national legislation: Proposed amendment to ‘Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road Regulations, 2004’. Comments: The provisions of the ADR require (a) a separate transport document, containing the total mass of dangerous goods carried for the particular load; and (b) the Special Provision ‘CV24’ on cleaning for each and every load being transported between the port and the consignee during the unloading of a bulk ship. As the transport is local and as it concerns the unloading of a bulk ship, involving multiple transport loads (on the same or consecutive days) of the same substance between the bulk ship and the consignee, a single transport document, with an approximate total mass of each load, should suffice and it should not be necessary to require the Special Provision ‘CV24’. Expiry date: 30 June 2015.
