"Large packagings are packagings consisting of an outer packaging which contains articles or inner packagings and which

(a)	are designed for mechanical handling; and

(b)	exceed 400 kg net mass or 450 litres capacity but have a volume of not more than 3 m3."

"Liner means a separate tube or bag inserted into a packaging, (including IBCs and large packagings) but not forming an integral part of it, including the closures of its openings."

Packing Group I:	Substances presenting high danger

Packing Group II:	Substances presenting medium danger

Packing Group III:	Substances presenting low danger."

2.0.3(c)	Insert a new sub-paragraph (c) to read as follows:

"(c)	liquid desensitised explosives of Class 3;"

Renumber consequently the other sub-paragraphs.

2.0.3(d)	Delete "and related" after "self-reactive" (existing sub-paragraph (c)).

2.0.4	Add a new section 2.0.4 as follows:

"2.0.4	Transport of samples

2.0.4.1	When the hazard class of a substance is uncertain and it is being transported for further testing, a tentative hazard class, proper shipping name and identification number shall be assigned on the basis of the consignor's knowledge of the substance and application of:

(a)	the classification criteria of these Regulations; and

(b)	the precedence of hazards given in 2.0.3.

The most severe packing group possible for the shipping name chosen shall be used.

Where this provision is used the proper shipping name shall be supplemented with the word "sample" (e.g., FLAMMABLE LIQUID, N.O.S. Sample). In certain instances, where a specific proper shipping name is provided for a sample of a substance considered to meet certain classification criteria (e.g., GAS SAMPLE, NON-PRESSURIZED, FLAMMABLE, UN 3167) that shipping name shall be used. When an N.O.S. entry is used to transport the sample, the proper shipping name need not be supplemented with the technical name as required by special provision 274.

2.0.4.2	Samples of the substance shall be transported in accordance with the requirements applicable to the tentative assigned proper shipping name provided:

(a)	the substance is not considered to be a substance prohibited for transport by 1.1.2;

(b)	the substance is not considered to meet the criteria for Class 1 or considered to be an infectious substance or a radioactive material;

(c)	the substance is in compliance with 2.4.2.3.2.5(b) or 2.5.3.2.5.1 if it is a self-
reactive substance or an organic peroxide, respectively;

New solid desensitized explosives subject to these Regulations should be listed in Division 4.1 and new liquid desensitized explosives should be listed in Class 3. When the desensitized explosive meets the criteria or definition for another class or division, the corresponding subsidiary risk(s) should be assigned to it."

6.6.5.1.2	Tests shall be successfully performed on each large packaging design type before such a packaging is used. A large packaging design type is defined by the design, size, material and thickness, manner of construction and packing, but may include various surface treatments. It also includes large packagings which differ from the design type only in their lesser design height.

6.6.5.1.3	Tests shall be repeated on production samples at intervals established by the competent authority. For such tests on fibreboard large packagings, preparation at ambient conditions is considered equivalent to the provisions of 6.6.5.2.3.

6.6.5.1.6	Where a large packaging has been successfully tested with different types of inner packagings, a variety of such different inner packagings may also be assembled in this large packaging. In addition, provided an equivalent level of performance is maintained, the following variations in inner packagings are allowed without further testing of the package:

(a)	Inner packagings of equivalent or smaller size may be used provided:

(i)	the inner packagings are of similar design to the tested inner packagings (e.g. shape - round, rectangular, etc);

(ii)	the material of construction of the inner packagings (glass, plastics, metal etc.) offers resistance to impact and stacking forces equal to or greater than that of the originally tested inner packaging;

(iii)	the inner packagings have the same or smaller openings and the closure is of similar design (e.g. screw cap, friction lid, etc);

(iv)	sufficient additional cushioning material is used to take up void spaces and to prevent significant movement of the inner packagings; and

(v)	inner packagings are oriented within the large packagings in the same manner as in the tested package;

(b)	A lesser number of the tested inner packagings, or of the alternative types of inner packagings identified in (a) above, may be used provided sufficient cushioning is added to fill the void space(s) and to prevent significant movement of the inner packagings.

6.6.5.1.7	The competent authority may at any time require proof, by tests in accordance with this section, that serially-produced large packagings meet the requirements of the design type tests.

6.6.5.1.8	Provided the validity of the test results is not affected and with the approval of the competent authority, several tests may be made on one sample.

6.6.5.2	Preparation for testing

6.6.5.2.1	Tests shall be carried out on large packagings prepared as for transport including the inner packagings or articles used. Inner packagings shall be filled to not less than 98% of their maximum capacity for liquids or 95% for solids. For large packagings where the inner packagings are designed to carry liquids and solids, separate testing is required for both liquid and solid contents. The substances in the inner packagings or the articles to be transported in the large packagings may be replaced by other material or articles except where this would invalidate the results of the tests. When other inner packagings or articles are used they shall have the same physical characteristics (mass, etc) as the inner packagings or articles to be carried. It is permissible to use additives, such as bags of lead shot, to achieve the requisite total package mass, so long as they are placed so that the test results are not affected.

6.6.5.2.2	Large packagings made of plastics materials and large packagings containing inner packagings of plastic materials - other than bags intended to contain solids or articles - shall be drop tested when the temperature of the test sample and its contents has been reduced to -18°C or lower. This conditioning may be disregarded if the materials in question are of sufficient ductility and tensile strength at low temperatures. Where test sample are prepared in this way, the conditioning in 6.6.5.2.3 may be waived. Test liquids shall be kept in the liquid state by the addition of anti-freeze if necessary.

6.6.5.2.3	Large packagings of fibreboard shall be conditioned for at least 24 hours in an atmosphere having a controlled temperature and relative humidity (r.h). There are three options, one of which shall be chosen.

The preferred atmosphere is 23 ± 2°C and 50% ± 2% r.h. The two other options are: 20 ± 2°C and 65% ± 2% r.h.; or 27 ± 2°C and 65% ± 2% r.h.

PART 3

AMENDMENTS TO THE MANUAL OF TESTS AND CRITERIA

Amend the Manual of Tests and Criteria in accordance with document ST/SG/AC.10/1998/14 */ with the following changes:

Section 38

Amend Section 38 as follows:

Paragraph

38.3.3.2	Add the following new definitions:

"Aggregate lithium content means the sum of the grams of lithium content contained by the cells comprising a battery."

"Equivalent lithium content is defined in the definition of lithium content."

"Lithium content means the mass of lithium in the anode of a lithium metal or lithium alloy cell, which for a primary cell is measured when the cell is in an undischarged state and for a rechargeable cell is measured when the cell is fully charged, except that in the case of a lithium-ion cell the lithium content is measured in terms of equivalent lithium content, which in grams is calculated to be 0.3 times the rated capacity in ampere-hours."

"Lithium-ion cell or battery means a rechargeable electrochemical cell or battery in which the positive and negative electrodes are both intercalation compounds (intercalated lithium exists in an ionic or quasi-atomic form with the lattice of the electrode material) constructed with no metallic lithium in either electrode."

38.3.4.4.3	Replace "[, or until a maximum force of 10 kN is applied]" with ", or until a maximum force of 1000 times the weight of the cell, but not less thant 10 kN, is applied" in first sentence.

Replace "[, or when the maximum 10 kN force is achieved whichever occurs first]" with ", or when a force equal to the maximum of 10 kN or of 1000 times the weight is achieved, whichever occurs first" in the last sentence.
