ADR special provision 663

Only for emptied packagings/IBCs sent to disposal or recycling with adhering Class 9, 8, 6.1, 5.1, 4.1 or 3 residues, with exclusions.

Restricted to discarded packagings, IBCs and large packagings (or their parts) that once held dangerous goods and are carried for disposal, recycling or material recovery — not for reconditioning, repair, maintenance, remanufacturing or reuse — and that have been emptied so only adhering residues remain. Residues must be Class 9, 8, 6.1, 5.1, 4.1 or 3 only, and exclude packing group I goods, goods with "0" in column (7a), desensitized explosives, self-reactive substances, radioactive material, asbestos, PCBs and the polyhalogenated substances of UN 3151/3152. Items with a Class 5.1 residue hazard may not be bulk-loaded or co-packed with items bearing residues of other classes, and documented sorting procedures are required at the loading site. All other ADR provisions apply.
