ADR bulk container code BK1

Bulk carriage in sheeted bulk containers is allowed for the substance, subject to Chapter 6.11 and 7.3.2.

BK1 in column (10) authorises carriage in bulk in sheeted bulk containers. The bulk container must comply with Chapter 6.11, and the general bulk rules of 7.3.1 apply as well. Class-specific limits follow in 7.3.2: Class 4.2 loads must keep the spontaneous ignition temperature above 55 °C, Class 4.3 needs waterproof containers, Class 5.1 must not touch wood or other incompatible material, Class 8 needs watertight containers, and Class 6.2 animal material and UN 3291 wastes have their own lists of conditions. For Class 6.2 animal material (UN 2814, 2900, 3373) sheeted containers must not be filled to capacity so the load stays off the sheet, and must carry an extra top liner weighted with disinfectant-treated absorbent.

Note. The section numbers of 7.3.2 are printed in a separate margin column that is offset from the text; the paragraph mapping above follows their order. Where column (17) shows VC1, a BK1 bulk container may also be used for land transport if 7.3.3.2 is met.
