ADR packing instruction R001

Heading in ADR: “PACKING INSTRUCTION”

R001 permits light gauge metal packagings 0A1 and 0A2 up to 40 l / 50 kg for packing groups II and III; packing group I is not allowed.

R001 permits light gauge metal packagings, steel with non-removable head (0A1) or removable head (0A2), under 4.1.1 and 4.1.3. For packing groups II and III the maximum is 40 l capacity or 50 kg net mass; packing group I may not use them. It covers both liquids and solids, as long as the design type has been tested and marked accordingly. For Class 3 packing group II they are limited to substances without a subsidiary hazard whose vapour pressure at 50 °C is 110 kPa or less, and for slightly toxic pesticides. The removable-head 0A2 is not allowed for UN 1261 NITROMETHANE.
