NOTE 2: If the fuel gas containment systems are not leakproof or are overfilled or if they exhibit damage that could affect their safety (e.g. in case of a safety related recall), they shall only be carried in salvage pressure receptacles in conformity with RID. (c) If a fuel gas containment system is equipped with two valves or more integrated in line, the two valves shall be closed as to be gastight under normal conditions of carriage. If only one valve exists or only one valve works, all openings with the exception of the opening of the pressure relief device shall be closed as to be gastight under normal conditions of carriage; (d) Fuel gas containment systems shall be carried in such a way as to prevent obstruction of the pressure relief device or any damage to the valves and any other pressurised part of the fuel gas containment systems and unintentional release of the gas under normal conditions of carriage. The fuel gas containment system shall be secured in order to prevent slipping, rolling or vertical movement; (e) Valves shall be protected by one of the methods described in 4.1.6.8 (a) to (e); (f) Except for the case of fuel gas containment systems removed for disposal, recycling, repair, inspection or maintenance, they shall be filled with not more than 20% of their nominal filling ratio or nominal working pressure, as applicable; (g) Notwithstanding the provisions of Chapter 5.2, when fuel gas containment systems are consigned in a handling device, marks and labels may be affixed to the handling device; and (h) Notwithstanding the provisions of 5.4.1.1.1 (f) the information on the total quantity of dangerous goods may be replaced by the following information: (i) The number of fuel gas containment systems; and (ii) In the case of liquefied gases the total net mass (kg) of gas of each fuel gas containment system and, in the case of compressed gases, the total water capacity (l) of each fuel gas containment system followed by the nominal working pressure.

Example 2: "UN 1965 HYDROCARBON GAS MIXTURE, LIQUEFIED, N.O.S., 2.1, 3 FUEL GAS CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS, EACH OF 15 KG NET MASS OF GAS". , Special provision 406 Substances under this entry may be carried in accordance with the limited quantity provisions of Chapter 3.4 when carried in pressure receptacles containing not more than 1 000 ml. The pressure receptacles shall meet the requirements of packing instruction P 200 of 4.1.4.1 and have a test pressure capacity product not exceeding 15.2 MPa·l (152 bar·l). The pressure receptacles shall not be packed together with other dangerous goods. Special provision 662 Cylinders not conforming to the provisions of Chapter 6.2 which are used exclusively on board a ship or aircraft, may be carried for the purpose of filling or inspection and subsequent return, provided the cylinders are designed and constructed in accordance with a standard recognized by the competent authority of the country of approval and all the other relevant requirements of RID are met including: (a) The cylinders shall be carried with valve protection in conformity with 4.1.6.8; (b) The cylinders shall be marked and labelled in conformity with 5.2.1 and 5.2.2; and (c) All the relevant filling requirements of packing instruction P 200 of 4.1.4.1 shall be complied with.

Loading, unloading and handling	, , Loading, unloading and handling: CW10 Cylinders as defined in 1.2.1, shall be laid parallel to or at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the wagon or container; however, those situated near the forward transverse wall shall be laid at right angles to the said axis. Short cylinders of large diameter (about 30 cm and over) may be stowed longitudinally with their valve-protecting devices directed towards the middle of the wagon or container. Cylinders which are sufficiently stable or are carried in suitable devices effectively preventing them from overturning may be placed upright. Cylinders which are laid flat shall be securely and appropriately wedged, attached or secured so that they cannot shift. Receptacles designed to be rolled shall be laid with their longitudinal axis parallel to that of the wagon or container and shall be secured against any lateral movement. Loading, unloading and handling: CW36 Packages shall preferably be loaded in open or ventilated wagons or open or ventilated containers. If this is not feasible and packages are carried in other closed wagons or containers, gas exchange between the load compartment and accessible compartments during carriage shall be prevented and the cargo doors of the wagons or containers shall be marked with the following in letters not less than 25 mm high: "WARNING NO VENTILATION OPEN WITH CAUTION" This shall be in a language considered appropriate by the consignor. For UN Nos. 2211 and 3314 this mark is not required when the wagon or container is already marked according to special provision 965 of the IMDG Code 1). __________ 1) Warning mark including the words "CAUTION - MAY CONTAIN FLAMMABLE VAPOUR" with lettering not less than 25 mm high, affixed at each access point in a location where it will be easily seen by persons prior to opening or entering the cargo transport unit.
