Packing group
Special provisions	Special provision 342 Glass inner receptacles (such as ampoules or capsules) intended only for use in sterilization devices, when containing less than 30 ml of ethylene oxide per inner packaging with not more than 300 ml per outer packaging, may be carried in accordance with the provisions in Chapter 3.5, irrespective of the indication of "E0" in column (7b) of Table A of Chapter 3.2 provided that: (a) After filling, each glass inner receptacle has been determined to be leak-tight by placing the glass inner receptacle in a hot water bath at a temperature, and for a period of time, sufficient to ensure that an internal pressure equal to the vapour pressure of ethylene oxide at 55 °C is achieved. Any glass inner receptacle showing evidence of leakage, distortion or other defect under this test shall not be carried under the terms of this special provision; (b) In addition to the packaging required by 3.5.2, each glass inner receptacle is placed in a sealed plastics bag compatible with ethylene oxide and capable of containing the contents in the event of breakage or leakage of the glass inner receptacle; and (c) Each glass inner receptacle is protected by a means of preventing puncture of the plastics bag (e.g. sleeves or cushioning) in the event of damage to the packaging (e.g. by crushing).

Ventilation	, Ventilation: VE01 Holds containing these substances shall be ventilated whith the ventilators operating at full power, where after measurement it has been established that the concentration of flammable gases and vapours given off by the cargo exceeds 10 % of the LEL. The measurement shall be carried out immediately after loading. A control measurement shall be repeated after one hour. The results of the measurement shall be recorded in writing. Ventilation: VE02 Holds containing these substances shall be ventilated whith the ventilators operating at full power, where after measurement it has been established that the holds are not free from toxic gases and vapours given off by the cargo. The measurement shall be carried out immediately after loading. A control measurement shall be repeated after one hour. The results of the measurement shall be recorded in writing. Alternatively, on vessels only containing these substances in containers in open holds, the holds containing such containers may be ventilated with the ventilation operating at full power only when it is suspected that the holds are not free of toxic gases and vapours given off by the cargo. Prior to unloading, the unloader shall be informed about this suspicion.

Additional requirements		, Additional requirement 2 Before loading, air shall be removed and subsequently kept away to a sufficient extent from the cargo tanks and the accessory cargo piping by the means of inert gas (see also 7.2.4.18). , Additional requirement 3 Arrangements shall be made to ensure that the cargo is sufficiently stabilized in order to prevent a reaction at any time during carriage. The transport document shall contain the following additional particulars: (a) Name and amount of inhibitor added; (b) Date on which inhibitor was added and expected duration of effectiveness under normal conditions; (c) Any temperature limits having an effect on the inhibitor. When stabilization is ensured solely by blanketing with an inert gas it is sufficient to mention the name of the inert gas used in the transport document. When stabilization is ensured by another measurement, e.g. the special purity of the substance, this measurement shall be mentioned in the transport document. , Additional requirement 11 (a) Stainless steel of type 416 or 442 and cast iron shall not be used for cargo tanks and piping for loading and unloading. (b) The cargo may be discharged only by deep-well pumps or pressure inert gas displacement. Each cargo pump shall be arranged to ensure that the substance does not heat significantly if the pressure discharge line from the pump is shut off or otherwise blocked. (c) The cargo shall be cooled and maintained at temperatures below 30° C. (d) The safety valves shall be set at a pressure of not less than 550 kPa (5.5 bar) gauge pressure. Special authorization is required for the maximum setting pressure. (e) While the vessel is underway, a nitrogen pad shall be maintained in the ullage space above the cargo (see also 7.2.4.18). An automatic nitrogen supply system shall be installed to prevent the pressure from falling below 7 kPa (0.07 bar) gauge within the cargo tank in the event of a cargo temperature fall due to ambient temperature conditions or to some other reason. In order to satisfy the demand of the automatic pressure control a sufficient amount of nitrogen shall be available on board. Nitrogen of a commercially pure quality of 99.9 %, by volume, shall be used for padding. A battery of nitrogen cylinders connected to the cargo tanks through a pressure reduction valve satisfies the intention of the expression "automatic" in this context. The required nitrogen pad shall be such that the nitrogen concentration in the vapour space of the cargo tank is not less than 45 % at any time. (f) Before loading and while the cargo tank contains this substance in a liquid or gaseous form, it and the corresponding piping shall be inerted with nitrogen. (g) The water-spray system shall be fitted with remote-control devices which can be operated from the wheelhouse or from the control station, if any. (h) Transfer arrangements shall be provided for emergency transfer of ethylene oxide in the event of an uncontrollable self-reaction. , Additional requirement 31 When these substances are carried, the vessel shall be equipped with a quick closing valve placed directly on the shore connection. Additional requirement 35 Only an indirect system for the cargo refrigerating system is permitted for this substance. Direct or combined systems are not permitted.
