Special provisions
,
Special provision 386
Substances stabilized by temperature control are not accepted for carriage by rail. When chemical stabilization is employed, the person offering the packaging, IBC or tank for carriage shall ensure that the level of stabilization is sufficient to prevent the substance in the packaging, IBC or tank from dangerous polymerization at a bulk mean temperature of 50 °C, or, in the case of a portable tank, 45 °C. Where chemical stabilization becomes ineffective at lower temperatures within the anticipated duration of carriage, carriage by rail is not permitted. In making this determination factors to be taken into consideration include, but are not limited to, the capacity and geometry of the packaging, IBC or tank and the effect of any insulation present, the temperature of the substance when offered for carriage, the duration of the journey and the ambient temperature conditions typically encountered in the journey (considering also the season of year), the effectiveness and other properties of the stabilizer employed, applicable operational controls imposed by regulation (e.g. requirements to protect from sources of heat, including other cargo carried at a temperature above ambient) and any other relevant factors.
,
Special provision 603
Anhydrous hydrogen cyanide not meeting the description for UN No. 1051 or UN No. 1614 is not to be accepted for carriage. Hydrogen cyanide (hydrocyanic acid) containing less than 3% water is stable, if the pH-value is 2.5 ± 0.5 and the liquid is clear and colourless.
Special provision 676
For the carriage of packages containing polymerizing substances the provisions of special provision 386 need not be applied, when carried for disposal or recycling provided the following conditions are met:
(a) Before loading an examination has shown that there is no significant deviation between the outside temperature of the package and the ambient temperature;
(b) The carriage is effected within a period of not more than 24 hours from that examination;
(c) The packages are protected from direct sunlight and from the impact of other sources of heat (e.g. additional loads that are being carried above ambient temperature) during carriage;
(d) The ambient temperatures during the carriage are below 45 °C;
(e) Wagons and containers are adequately ventilated;
(f) The substances are packed in packages with a maximum capacity of 1000 litres.
In assessing the substances for carriage under the conditions of this special provision, additional measures to prevent dangerous polymerization may be considered, for example the addition of inhibitors.

Remark (german):Abweichend von den Vorschriften des IMDG-Codes, der ICAO TI und der UN-Modellvorschriften wird bei dieser UN-Nummer in Tabelle A des ADR/RID/ADN zusätzlich die Nebengefahr der Klasse 3 angegeben. Eine Nachfrage bei der PTB nach dem Flammpunkt ergab, dass HCN-haltige Gemische definitiv entzündbare Dämpfe entwickeln. Zur Bewertung des Ausmaßes sind jedoch Messungen erforderlich. Stoffe, die neben entzündbaren auch hochtoxische Gase und Dämpfe abgeben, können von der PTB nicht auf ihren Flammpunkt vermessen werden. Aufgrund der fehlenden Information zum Flammpunkt wurde die Überlegung des BMDV, einen Antrag bei UN (TDG) für das Einfügen der Nebengefahr der Klasse 3 zu stellen, erst einmal zurückgestellt.

5.5.3 Special provisions applicable to the carriage of dry ice (UN 1845) and to packages and wagons and containers containing substances presenting a risk of asphyxiation when used for cooling or conditioning purposes (such as dry ice (UN 1845) or nitrogen, refrigerated liquid (UN 1977) or argon, refrigerated liquid (UN 1951) or nitrogen)
NOTE: In the context of this section the term "conditioning" may be used in a broader scope and includes protection.
5.5.3.1 Scope
5.5.3.1.1 This section is not applicable to substances which may be used for cooling or conditioning purposes when carried as a consignment of dangerous goods, except for the carriage of dry ice (UN No. 1845). When they are carried as a consignment, these substances shall be carried under the relevant entry of Table A of Chapter 3.2 in accordance with the associated conditions of carriage.
For UN No. 1845, the conditions of carriage specified in this section, except 5.5.3.3.1, apply for all kinds of carriage, as a coolant, conditioner, or as a consignment. For the carriage of UN No. 1845, no other provisions of RID apply.
5.5.3.1.2 This section is not applicable to gases in cooling cycles.
5.5.3.1.3 Dangerous goods used for cooling or conditioning tanks or MEGCs during carriage are not subject to this section.
5.5.3.1.4 Wagons and containers containing substances used for cooling or conditioning purposes include wagons and containers containing substances used for cooling or conditioning purposes inside packages as well as wagons and containers with unpackaged substances used for cooling or conditioning purposes.
5.5.3.1.5 Sub-sections 5.5.3.6 and 5.5.3.7 only apply when there is an actual risk of asphyxiation in the wagon or container. It is for the participants concerned to assess this risk, taking into consideration the hazards presented by the substances being used for cooling or conditioning, the amount of substance to be carried, the duration of the journey, the types of containment to be used and the gas concentration limits given in the Note to 5.5.3.3.3.
5.5.3.2 General
5.5.3.2.1 Wagons and containers in which dry ice (UN 1845) is carried or containing substances used for cooling or conditioning purposes (other than fumigation) during carriage are not subject to any provisions of RID other than those of this section.
5.5.3.2.2 When dangerous goods are loaded in wagons or containers containing substances used for cooling or conditioning purposes any provisions of RID relevant to these dangerous goods apply in addition to the provisions of this section.
5.5.3.2.3 (Reserved)
5.5.3.2.4 Persons engaged in the handling or carriage of wagons and containers in which dry ice (UN 1845) is carried or containing substances used for cooling or conditioning purposes shall be trained commensurate with their responsibilities.

(a) either a special provision, identified by the code "BK" or a reference to a specific paragraph, explicitly authorizing this mode of carriage is indicated in column (10) of Table A of Chapter 3.2 and the relevant conditions of 7.3.2 are satisfied in addition to those of this section; or
(b) a special provision, identified by the code "VC" or a reference to a specific paragraph, explicitly authorizing this mode of carriage is indicated in column (17) of Table A of Chapter 3.2 and the conditions of this special provision, together with any additional provision identified by the code "AP", as laid down in 7.3.3 are satisfied in addition to those of this section.
Nevertheless, empty packagings, uncleaned, may be carried in bulk if this mode of carriage is not explicitly prohibited by other provisions of RID.
Unless otherwise provided in the special provisions in 7.3.3, the receptacle requirements for packages shall apply to small containers intended for the carriage of substances in bulk.
NOTE: For carriage in tanks, see Chapters 4.2 and 4.3.
7.3.1.2 Substances which may become liquid at temperatures likely to be encountered during carriage, are not permitted for carriage in bulk.
7.3.1.3 Bulk containers, containers or bodies of wagons shall be siftproof and shall be so closed that none of the contents can escape under normal conditions of carriage including the effect of vibration, or by changes of temperature, humidity or pressure.
7.3.1.4 Substances shall be loaded and evenly distributed in a manner that minimises movement that could result in damage to the bulk container, container or wagon or leakage of the dangerous goods.
7.3.1.5 Where venting devices are fitted they shall be kept clear and operable.
7.3.1.6 Substances shall not react dangerously with the material of the bulk container, container, wagon, gaskets, equipment including lids and tarpaulins and with protective coatings which are in contact with the contents or significantly weaken them. Bulk containers, containers or wagons shall be so constructed or adapted that the goods cannot penetrate between wooden floor coverings or come into contact with those parts of the bulk container, container or wagon that may be affected by the materials or residues thereof.
7.3.1.7 Before being filled and handed over for carriage, each bulk container, container or wagon shall be inspected and cleaned to ensure that it does not contain any residue on the interior or exterior of the bulk container, container or wagon that could:
- cause a dangerous reaction with the substance intended for carriage;
- detrimentally affect the structural integrity of the bulk container, container or wagon; or
- affect the dangerous goods retention capabilities of the bulk container, container or wagon.
7.3.1.8 During carriage, no dangerous residues shall adhere to the outer surfaces of bulk containers, containers or of the bodies of wagons.
7.3.1.9 If several closure systems are fitted in series, the system which is located nearest to the substance to be carried shall be closed first before filling.
7.3.1.10 Empty bulk containers, containers or wagons which have carried a dangerous solid substance in bulk shall be treated in the same manner as is required by RID for a filled bulk container, container or wagon, unless adequate measures have been taken to nullify any hazard.
7.3.1.11 If bulk containers, containers or wagons are used for the carriage in bulk of goods liable to cause a dust explosion, or evolve flammable vapours (e.g. for certain wastes) measures shall be taken to exclude sources of ignition and prevent dangerous electrostatic discharge during carriage, filling or discharge of the substance.
7.3.1.12 Substances, for example wastes, which may react dangerously with one another and substances of different classes and goods not subject to RID, which are liable to react dangerously with one another shall not be mixed together in the same bulk container, container or wagon. Dangerous reactions are:
(a) combustion and/or evolution of considerable heat;
(b) emission of flammable and/or toxic gases;
(c) formation of corrosive liquids; or
(d) formation of unstable substances.
7.3.1.13 Before a bulk container, container or wagon is filled it shall be visually examined to ensure it is structurally serviceable, its interior walls, ceiling and floors are free from protrusions or damage and that any inner liners or substance retaining equipment are free from rips, tears or any damage that would compromise its cargo retention capabilities. Structurally serviceable, where relevant to the means of transport concerned, means the bulk container, container or wagon does not have major defects in its structural components, such as top and bottom side rails, top and bottom end rails, door sill and header, floor cross members, corner posts, and corner fittings of a bulk container or container. Major defects, where relevant to the means of transport concerned, include:
(a) Bends, cracks or breaks in the structural or supporting members, or any damage to service or operational equipment that affect the integrity of the bulk container, container or of the body of the wagon;
(b) Any distortion of the overall configuration or any damage to lifting attachments or handling equipment interface features great enough to prevent proper alignment of handling equipment, mounting and securing on a chassis or wagon or vehicle, or insertion into ships' cells; and, where applicable
(c) Door hinges, door seals and hardware that are seized, twisted, broken, missing, or otherwise inoperative.

For the purposes of this Chapter:
Closed bulk container means a totally closed bulk container having a rigid roof, sidewalls, end walls and floor (including hopper-type bottoms). The term includes bulk containers with an opening roof, side or end wall that can be closed during carriage. Closed bulk containers may be equipped with openings to allow for the exchange of vapours and gases with air and which under normal conditions of carriage prevent the release of solid contents as well as the penetration of rain and splash water;
Sheeted bulk container means an open top bulk container with rigid bottom (including hopper-type bottom), side and end walls and a non-rigid covering.
6.11.2 Application and general requirements
6.11.2.1 Bulk containers and their service and structural equipment shall be designed and constructed to withstand, without loss of contents, the internal pressure of the contents and the stresses of normal handling and carriage.
6.11.2.2 Where a discharge valve is fitted, it shall be capable of being made secure in the closed position and the whole discharge system shall be suitably protected from damage. Valves having lever closures shall be able to be secured against unintended opening and the open or closed position shall be readily apparent.

Ausnahme 20 (B, E, S)
Beförderung verpackter gefährlicher Abfälle
1 Abweichend von § 1 Absatz 3 Nummer 1 bis 3 sowie den §§ 18, 21 und 22 der GGVSEB in Verbindung mit den Teilen 1 bis 5 ADR/RID/ADN dürfen Abfälle, die nach den unter Nummer 2 aufgeführten Bestimmungen nach den Abfallgruppen 1 bis 15 klassifiziert, verpackt, gekennzeichnet und bezettelt sind, unter Einhaltung der Bestimmungen nach den Nummern 3 bis 5 befördert werden.
2 Klassifizierung, Verpackung, Kennzeichnung und Bezettelung
2.1 Für eine sicherheitsgerechte Beförderung sind Abfälle so zu sortieren, dass sie keine gefährlichen Reaktionen miteinander eingehen können.
2.2 Um Gefahren, die während der Beförderung auftreten können, auszuschließen, sind die Abfälle einer der nachstehenden Abfallgruppen zuzuordnen. Ein Vermischen der einzelnen Abfallgruppen ist nicht zulässig. Die Abfallgruppen dürfen nicht auf solche Stoffe angewendet werden, für die ein Beförderungsverbot besteht oder die nach Sondervorschriften befördert werden müssen.
Die Abfallgruppen gliedern sich in Untergruppen. Werden Abfälle mehrerer Untergruppen innerhalb einer Abfallgruppe befördert, sind im Beförderungspapier die für die Klasse der überwiegenden Gefahr gemäß den Absätzen 2.1.3.5.2 und 2.1.3.5.3 in Verbindung mit Unterabschnitt 2.1.3.10 ADR/RID/ADN zutreffenden Gefahrzettel und, soweit vorhanden, die Verpackungsgruppe des höchsten Gefahrengrades, gekennzeichnet durch I, II oder III, anzugeben.
Für die Abfallgruppe 1 sind im Beförderungspapier alle zutreffenden Gefahrzettel der Sendung anzugeben. Die Angabe der Verpackungsgruppe ist nicht erforderlich.
Die Gefahrzettel sind entsprechend den Untergruppen der jeweiligen Abfallgruppe anzubringen.
2.3 Wer Abfälle eigenverantwortlich verpackt oder verpacken lässt, muss feststellen, welcher Untergruppe innerhalb der Abfallgruppe die gefährlichen Abfälle zuzuordnen sind, damit der Nachweis der ausreichenden chemischen Verträglichkeit mit den vorgesehenen Verpackungen aus Kunststoff auf Grund der durchgeführten Bauartprüfung mit der/den Standardflüssigkeit(en) geführt werden kann. Werden innerhalb der Abfallgruppe verschiedene Untergruppen gemischt verpackt, muss der Nachweis der ausreichenden chemischen Verträglichkeit nach Unterabschnitt 4.1.1.21 in Verbindung mit Abschnitt 6.1.6 ADR/RID für alle in Spalte 8 der Tabelle in Nummer 2.4 der betreffenden Abfallgruppe aufgeführten Standardflüssigkeiten geführt worden sein. Dabei gilt dieser Verträglichkeitsnachweis für Essigsäure auch als erbracht, wenn die Verpackungsbauart für die Standardflüssigkeit Netzmittellösung zugelassen ist. Für Verpackungen der Codierung 1H2, 3H2 und 4H2 gilt der Nachweis der ausreichnden chemischen Verträglichkeit als erbracht, wenn die Verträglichkeit des Werkstoffs mit den jeweiligen Standardflüssigkeiten im Rahmen einer Bauartprüfung und -zulassung für Verpackungen 1H1 oder 3H1 nachgewiesen wurde.
2.4 Tabelle der gefährlichen Abfälle
Die in der nachfolgenden Tabelle angegebenen Klassen, Klassifizierungscodes (soweit anwendbar), Verpackungsgruppen (soweit anwendbar), Tunnelbeschränkungscodes (soweit anwendbar) und Nummern der Gefahrzettelmuster beziehen sich auf die jeweiligen gefahrgutrechtlichen Regelwerke ADN für die Binnenschifffahrt (B), RID für die Eisenbahn (E) und ADR für den Straßenverkehr (S).

Handling
General hints concerning handling and stowage
===============================
Excerpts from chapter 7.5 of RID
===============================
7.5.3 Protective distance
Every wagon or large container containing substances or articles of Class 1 and bearing a placard conforming to models Nos. 1, 1.5 or 1.6, shall be separated on the same train from wagons or large containers bearing a placard conforming to models Nos. 2.1, 3, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 5.1 or 5.2 by a protective distance.
The requirement for this protective distance is met if the space between the buffer head of a wagon or the end wall of a large container and the buffer head of another wagon or the end wall of another large container is:
(a) at least 18 m, or
(b) occupied by two 2-axle wagons or a wagon with 4 or more axles.
...
7.5.7 Handling and stowage
7.5.7.1 Where appropriate the wagon or container shall be fitted with devices to facilitate securing and handling of the dangerous goods. Packages containing dangerous substances and unpackaged dangerous articles shall be secured by suitable means capable of restraining the goods (such as fastening straps, sliding slatboards, adjustable brackets) in the wagon or container in a manner that will prevent any movement during carriage which would change the orientation of the packages or cause them to be damaged. When dangerous goods are carried with other goods (e.g. heavy machinery or crates), all goods shall be securely fixed or packed in the wagons or containers so as to prevent the release of dangerous goods. Movement of packages may also be prevented by filling any voids by the use of dunnage or by blocking and bracing. Where restraints such as banding or straps are used, these shall not be over-tightened to cause damage or deformation of the package. *)
7.5.7.2 Packages shall not be stacked unless designed for that purpose. Where different design types of packages that have been designed for stacking are to be loaded together, consideration shall be given to their compatibility for stacking with each other. Where necessary, stacked packages shall be prevented from damaging the package below by the use of load-bearing devices.
7.5.7.3 During loading and unloading, packages containing dangerous goods shall be protected from being damaged.
NOTE: Particular attention shall be paid to the handling of packages during their preparation for carriage, the type of wagon or container on which they are to be carried and to the method of loading or unloading, so that accidental damage is not caused through dragging or mishandling the packages.
7.5.7.4 The provisions of 7.5.7.1 shall also apply to the loading, stowage and removal of containers, tank-containers, portable tanks and MEGCs on to and from wagons. When tank-containers, portable tanks and MEGCs do not include, by construction, corner castings as defined in ISO 1496-1 Series 1 freight containers - Specification and testing - Part 1: General cargo containers for general purposes, it shall be verified that the systems used on the tank-containers, portable tanks or MEGCs are compatible with the system on the wagon.
7.5.7.5 (Reserved)
7.5.7.6 Loading of flexible bulk containers
7.5.7.6.1 Flexible bulk containers shall be carried within a wagon or container with rigid sides and ends that extend at least two-thirds of the height of the flexible bulk container.
NOTE: When loading flexible bulk containers in a wagon or container particular attention shall be paid to the guidance on the handling and stowage of dangerous goods referred to in 7.5.7.1.
7.5.7.6.2 Flexible bulk containers shall be secured by suitable means capable of restraining them in the wagon or container in a manner that will prevent any movement during carriage which would change the position of the flexible bulk container or cause it to be damaged. Movement of the flexible bulk containers may also be prevented by filling any voids by the use of dunnage or by blocking and bracing. Where restraints such as banding or straps are used, these shall not be over-tightened to cause damage or deformation to the flexible bulk containers.
7.5.7.6.3 Flexible bulk containers shall not be stacked.
7.5.8 Cleaning after unloading
7.5.8.1 If, when a wagon or container which has contained packaged dangerous goods is unloaded, some of the contents are found to have escaped, the wagon or container shall be cleaned as soon as possible and in any case before reloading.
If it is not possible to do the cleaning locally, the wagon or container shall be carried, with due regard to adequate safety, to the nearest suitable place where cleaning can be carried out.
Carriage is adequately safe if suitable measures have been taken to prevent the uncontrolled release of the dangerous goods that have escaped.
