When substances are stabilized by temperature control, the provisions of 2.2.41.1.21, 7.1.7, special provision V8 of Chapter 7.2 of ADR, special provision S4 of Chapter 8.5 of ADR and the requirements of Chapter 9.6 of ADR apply. 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 loading 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, temperature control is required. 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.

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.

For the carriage of packages containing polymerizing substances the provisions of special provision 386, in conjunction with 7.1.7.3, 7.1.7.4, 5.4.1.1.15 and 5.4.1.2.3.1, 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) Vehicles 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.

See 7.1.4.10. ____ 7.1.4.10 Precautions with respect to foodstuffs, other articles of consumption and animal feeds 7.1.4.10.1 When special provision 802 is indicated for a dangerous good in column (6) of Table A of Chapter 3.2, precautions shall be taken as follows with respect to foodstuffs, other articles of consumption and animal feeds: Packages as well as uncleaned empty packagings, including large packagings and intermediate bulk containers (IBCs), bearing labels conforming to models Nos. 6.1 or 6.2, and those bearing labels of Class 9, containing substances of Class 9, UN Nos. 2212, 2315, 2590, 3151, 3152 or 3245, shall not be stacked on or loaded in immediate proximity to packages known to contain foodstuffs, other articles of consumption or animal feeds in the same hold and at places of loading and unloading or trans-shipment. When these packages, bearing the said labels, are loaded in immediate proximity of packages known to contain foodstuffs, other articles of consumption or animal feeds, they shall be kept apart from the latter: (a) by complete partitions which should be as high as the packages bearing the said labels, or (b) by packages not bearing labels conforming to models Nos. 6.1, 6.2 or 9 or packages bearing labels of Class 9 but not containing substances of that class, UN Nos. 2212, 2315, 2590, 3151, 3152 or 3245, or (c) by a space of at least 0.8 m, unless the packages bearing said labels are provided with an additional packaging or are completely covered (e.g. by a sheeting, a fibreboard cover or other measures).

For each member of the crew, a pair of protective goggles, a pair of protective gloves, a protective suit and a suitable pair of protective shoes (or protective boots, if necessary). On bord tank vessels, protective boots are required in all cases.

A suitable escape device for each person on bord.

A flammable gas detector with the instructions for its use.

A toximeter appropriate for the current and previous cargo, with the accessories and instructions *1) for its use. __________ *1) The instructions could be kept on board electronically in a human-readable format.

A breathing apparatus ambient air-dependent.

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.

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.
