ADR packing instruction IBC01

Heading in ADR: “PACKING INSTRUCTION”

Liquids under IBC01 may go only in metal IBCs of types 31A, 31B or 31N, subject to the general packing rules.

IBC01 limits IBC carriage to metal IBCs of types 31A, 31B and 31N. The general packing rules in sections 4.1.1 to 4.1.3 must be met. A RID/ADR-specific provision, BB1, adds a double-closure requirement for UN 3130.
