1 Introduction

1.1 This Agreement shall apply only in connection with the collection und carriage of wastes in line with the applicable waste legislation framework.

1.2 By derogation from the provisions of ADR, the carriage of wastes which are dangerous goods or which contain dangerous goods is allowed under the conditions of sections 2 to 7 below.

1.3 This Agreement shall not apply to the carriage of wastes of classes 1, 6.2 and 7.

2 Classification

2.1 Simplified Assignment

2.1.1 Where

a) a reliable and significant documentation of the waste is not available; and

b) the production process which the waste is coming from is unknown or in its results too variable; and

c) a testing on sight is not possible or only possible with disproportionate large costs and effort; and

d) no assignment can be made by experience (e.g. according to standards),

the assignment of wastes shall be made with simple test-methods, e.g. the odour of residues under consideration of the origin and of plausibility.

2.1.2 An assignment which takes the highest probable danger into account is permitted. This applies also to an assignment as liquid substance, if appearance of a liquid phase cannot be excluded.

2.1.3 An approach in accordance with section 2.1.4 ADR is acceptable.

2.2 Admixture of other material by mistake

2.2.1 Where, according to ADR wastes are assigned to a UN number or are not subject to the provisions of ADR an admixture by mistake of items of a waste with a different classification can be left unconsidered if from the admixtured material no dangerous reaction and no essential impact on the degree of danger of the total load can be expected.

2.3 Medicines

Special provision 601 of Chapter 3.3 of ADR shall apply to wastes of medicines (UN 1851, UN 3248, UN 3249) also if they are not packed any more in packagings of a type intended for retail sale or distribution.

3 Packaging

3.1 The packagings [including intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) or large packagings] specified in Table A of Chapter 3.2 for the relevant UN number shall be used.

3.2 For the following wastes, packagings [including intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) or large packagings] which have expired or have not been tested may also be used if their condition, contents and manner of carriage do not endanger the compliance with the protection provisions of section 4.1.1 of ADR:

a) Dangerous wastes of Packing Group III.

b) Dangerous wastes of Packing Group II, which comply with the wastes in the table in the Annex to this Agreement according to description and UN number.

4 Carriage in bulk

4.1 Wastes of UN 1950 AEROSOLS of all classification codes with residue contents and also without caps may be carried in bulk with adequate ventilation.

4.2 Wastes of UN 3175 SOLIDS CONTAINING FLAMMABLE LIQUID, N.O.S. may be carried in bulk in closed or sheeted vehicles and closed or sheeted containers with adequate ventilation.

5 Marking of packages

The provisions of chapter 5.2 of ADR on marking of packages shall apply with the following derogations:

5.1 The labels may be attached to the package in the way provided for in 5.2.2.1.6 ADR, last sentence, also in such cases, when the requirements specified in the mentioned provision are not met.

5.2 The marking indicating the UN number may appear also in the lower half of the danger label.

6 Information in the dangerous goods transport document

The provisions of section 5.4.1 of ADR on the information in the transport document shall apply with the following derogations:

6.1 Where for a UN-number the proper shipping name has to be supplemented with the technical name, this requirement may be dispensed of, if the proper waste name is evident from the consignment note according to waste legislation.

6.2 The quantity of dangerous goods according to 5.4.1.1.1. (f) may be estimated.

6.3 For empty means of containment according to 5.4.1.1.6, a sufficient distinctive general description of the dangerous load or of a part of it concerned may be indicated instead of specifications according to 5.4.1.1.1 (e), without indicating the number of items.

7 Other Provisions

All other relevant provisions of ADR shall apply.

8 Scope

This agreement shall apply to transport between the Contracting Parties to ADR/RID, which have signed this agreement up to 1^st August 2010 unless it is revoked before that date by at least one of the signatories, in which case it shall remain applicable only for transport between the Contracting Parties to ADR/RID which have signed but have not revoked this agreement, on their territory, up to that date.
