Description (English):

ISO 13274:2013 specifies the requirements and test methods for compatibility testing of plastics packagings/Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) and composite packagings/IBCs with plastics inners containing liquids. The testing involves storage with the liquid to be transported. For polyethylene-based packaging, testing with a standard liquid as defined in The European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road may be undertaken. Annex B describes small-scale laboratory tests that may be used to determine the assimilation of those products to be carried with the standard liquids. Where there is any contradiction between ISO 13274:2013 and any applicable regulation, the regulation always takes precendence.

Abstract

Overview

ISO 13274:2013 - Packaging - Transport packaging for dangerous goods - Plastics compatibility testing for packaging and IBCs specifies requirements and test methods for assessing the chemical compatibility of plastics packagings and Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) (including composite packagings with plastic inners) intended to contain liquids. The standard covers conditioning of packagings with the packaged substance or an applicable standard liquid, post-conditioning inspections and a suite of mechanical and integrity tests to verify safe transport of dangerous goods. Where regulations conflict with ISO 13274:2013, the regulation takes precedence.

Key technical topics and requirements

Scope of testing
- Applies to plastics packagings/IBCs and composite packagings with plastic inners containing liquids.
- For polyethylene-based packagings, standard liquids (as defined in ADR/RID) may be used as substitutes for the actual packaged substance when assimilation is demonstrated.
- Annex B provides small-scale laboratory tests for assessing assimilation to standard liquids.
Conditioning procedures
- Includes ambient (six-month ambient conditioning is referenced in UN Recommendations) and accelerated conditioning options; procedures and handling after conditioning are specified.
- Requirements for reuse and documentation of standard liquids are included.
Post-conditioning inspections and tests
- Leak checks and then mechanical/integrity testing such as drop test, stacking test, hydraulic pressure test, leakproofness test, bottom/top lift tests, vibration test (references to ISO 16495 Annexes for test methods).
- Permeability testing is required for most plastic packagings when transporting benzene, toluene, xylene or mixtures containing these substances.
Equivalent testing
- Alternative methods may be accepted if equivalency to the reference methods is demonstrated and approved by competent authorities.
Reporting
- Test reports shall record conditioning, test results and any assimilation or specification details for the packaged substance.

Practical applications and users

ISO 13274:2013 is used to:

Demonstrate chemical compatibility of plastic drums, jerricans and IBCs with liquid dangerous goods.
Support compliance for road, rail, air and maritime modal regulations (ADR, RID, UN Recommendations, IMDG, ICAO TI) where applicable. Primary users:
Packaging manufacturers and designers
Chemical producers and shippers of hazardous liquids
Testing laboratories and conformity assessment bodies
Regulatory compliance officers and transport safety managers
