Introduction
This document was developed to provide requirements and test procedures which are aligned with the
[1]
United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods — Model Regulations , referred
to as “UN Recommendations” throughout this document. This document can be used in the evaluation of the
chemical compatibility of packaging and intermediate bulk containers (IBC) made from plastics material,
with multilayer structures. This document provides a test method for the compatibility testing of packaging/
IBC made of polyethylene, fluorinated polyethylene and co-extruded plastics.
[1]
According to paragraphs 6.1.5.2.4 and 6.5.6.3 of the UN Recommendations, the chemical compatibility for
packaging and IBC made from plastics material is required for packaging of dangerous goods.
Plastics packaging/IBC material can be attacked by the chemical contents in the package. Such effects are
caused by different mechanisms such as environmental stress cracking (ESC), chemical degradation or
swelling or a combination of this.
The UN Recommendations and the associated modal regulations require that all packaging/IBCs be assessed
for compatibility with the substances which they are to contain. The UN text makes special reference to
plastics packaging/IBCs for liquids. The procedure therein contains details of testing for six months at
ambient temperature with the liquid to be carried.
According 6.1.5.2.4 or 6.5.6.3 of the UN Recommendations, the compatibility can be verified using other
procedures if these are at least equivalent to the above procedure and are recognized by the competent
authority.
For example, References [2] and [3] permit, as an alternative, the method based on the concept of accelerated
conditioning and test liquids (ISO 13274).
The UN Recommendations are given legal entity not only to ADR and RID but also to:
— The International Civil Aviation Organisations Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous
[4]
Goods by Air (ICAO Tis) (worldwide) ; and
[5]
— The International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG Code) (worldwide).
This document provides requirements and test procedures which are aligned with the compatibility
provisions for plastics packaging and IBCs to contain liquids as set out in:
— The European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR)
[2]
(covering most of Europe) ; and
— Regulations concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Rail (RID) (covering most of
[3]
Europe, parts of North Africa and the Middle East).
Note The test methods described in RID are called test procedure A (swelling), test procedure B (stress-cracking)
and test procedure C (molecular degradation). The procedures given in this document is an alternative option
to RID and in logical continuation referred to as test procedure D (resistance to absorption) and test procedure E
(determination of the tensile impact strength).

Compatibility testing of polyethylene, fluorinated polyethylene and
co-extruded plastic
1 Scope
This document specifies test methods for the determination of the chemical compatibility of packaging/ IBC
made from polyethylene (PE), fluorinated polyethylene and co-extruded plastics. It covers the determination
of adequate plastics compatibility against the following processes of deterioration:
— — softening due to absorption (swelling);
— — stress cracking; and
— — combinations thereof.
This document is applicable to:
— — drums and jerricans made from plastics;
— — composite packaging (plastics) with inner receptacle made from plastics;
— — rigid plastics IBCs (types 31H1 and 31H2); and
— — composite IBCs with rigid plastics inner receptacles (type 31HZ1);
used for the transport of liquid dangerous goods.
Proof of adequate plastics compatibility obtained using the test procedures specified in this document is only
applicable to the above packaging and IBC types of the following materials and material specifications:
— — packaging and IBCs made from PE;
— — packaging and IBCs made from PE, whose internal surfaces are fluorinated; and
— — packaging and IBCs which are coextrusion blow moulded and have walls with the following multilayer
structure (from inside to outside):
— — polyamide (PA), bonding agents, PE, or
— — ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH), bonding agents, PE.
Note :
Packaging and IBCs made from PE and packaging and IBCs made from PE with fluorinated internal surfaces, deteriorate
additionally due to molecular degradation reactions with the corresponding packaged substances. For this, the chemical
compatibility can also be verified by the type tests described in ISO 13274:2013, Annex B, B.2.3, using the standard liquid
nitric acid (55 %) or appropriate original packaged substances. Packaging made from Coex PE/PA and Coex PE/EVOH is
not resistant to polar acid molecularly degrading substances such as nitric acid, with the result that a corresponding
method is not considered for this process of deterioration in this document.

Introduction
Le présent document a été élaboré pour fournir des exigences et des modes opératoires d’essai alignés sur
les recommandations énoncées dans le Règlement type des Nations Unies sur le transport des marchandises
[1]
dangereuses , désigné par le terme «Recommandations de l’ONU» tout au long du présent document. Ce
document peut être utilisé dans le cadre de l’évaluation de la compatibilité chimique des emballages et des
grands récipients pour vrac (GRV) en matières plastiques, y compris les structures multicouches. Il fournit
une méthode d’essai visant à évaluer la compatibilité des emballages/GRV en polyéthylène, en polyéthylène
fluoré et en plastique coextrudé.
[1]
Conformément aux paragraphes 6.1.5.2.4 et 6.5.6.3 des Recommandations de l’ONU , la compatibilité
chimique des emballages et des GRV en matières plastiques est exigée pour l’emballage des matières
dangereuses.
Le matériau des emballages et GRV en plastique peut être attaqué par les composants chimiques contenus
dans l’emballage. Ces effets sont provoqués par différents mécanismes, tels que la fissuration sous contrainte
dans un environnement donné (ESC), la dégradation chimique, le gonflement ou une combinaison de ces
mécanismes.
Il est exigé dans les Recommandations de l’ONU et les réglementations modales associées que tous les
emballages/GRV soient évalués pour vérifier leur compatibilité avec les matières qu’ils doivent contenir.
Le texte des Nations Unies fait spécifiquement référence aux emballages/GRV en plastique destinés aux
liquides. Le mode opératoire qui y est décrit contient des détails concernant les essais réalisés pendant six
mois à température ambiante avec le liquide à transporter.
Conformément aux paragraphes 6.1.5.2.4 et 6.5.6.3 des Recommandations de l’ONU, la compatibilité
chimique peut être vérifiée en suivant d’autres modes opératoires si ces derniers sont au moins équivalents
au mode opératoire susmentionné et sont reconnus par l’autorité compétente.
Par exemple, dans les documents [2] et [3] cités dans la Bibliographie, il est autorisé d’employer comme
autre solution la méthode basée sur le concept de conditionnement accéléré et l’utilisation de liquides d’essai
(ISO 13274).
Un statut légal est donné aux Recommandations de l’ONU non seulement pour l’ADR et le RID, mais aussi
pour les documents suivants:
— les Instructions techniques pour la sécurité du transport aérien des marchandises dangereuses de
[4]
l’Organisation de l’aviation civile internationale (OACI) (au niveau mondial) ;
[5]
— le Code maritime international des marchandises dangereuses (code IMDG) (au niveau mondial) .
Le présent document fournit des exigences et des modes opératoires d’essai alignés sur les dispositions
de compatibilité chimique des emballages et des GRV en plastique destinés à contenir des liquides, telles
qu’énoncées dans les documents suivants:
— l’Accord européen re
