ADR special provision 284

Chemical oxygen generators with oxidizers: excluded from Class 1 if explosive-actuated, must survive a 1.8 m drop, and need two safeguards against actuation.

Chemical oxygen generators holding oxidizing substances must meet three conditions. A generator with an explosive actuating device may use this entry only when the note to 2.2.1.1.1 (b) takes it out of Class 1. The unpackaged generator must withstand a 1.8 m drop onto a hard, flat, horizontal surface in its most vulnerable orientation, without losing contents or being triggered. Any generator fitted with an actuating device needs at least two positive means of stopping accidental actuation.

Note. The text begins on page 618 and condition (b) and (c) are on page 619.

Refers to: 2.2.1.1.1 (b).
