Foreword
This document (EN ISO 16104:2003) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 261,
"Packaging", the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR, in collaboration with Technical Committee
ISO/TC 122 "Packaging".
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by November 2003, and conflicting national standards
shall be withdrawn at the latest by November 2003.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech
Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg,
Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
This European Standard has been submitted for reference into the RID and/or in the technical
annexes of the ADR. Therefore in this context the standards listed in the normative references and
covering basic requirements of the RID/ADR not addressed within the present standard are normative
only when the standards themselves are referred to in the RID and/or in the technical annexes of the
ADR.
Annexes A, B, D and F are informative.
Annexes C, E and G are normative.
This standard includes a Bibliography.
Introduction
This Standard was developed to provide requirements and test procedures to meet the multi-modal
United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods [1] and successful passing
of the tests may lead to the allocation of an appropriate packaging mark (e.g. UN, RID/ADR). The UN
Recommendations have been developed by the United Nations Committee of Experts on the
Transport of Dangerous Goods as a "model regulation" (referred to in this document as the UN
Recommendations) in the light of technical progress, the advent of new substances and materials, the
exigencies of modern transport systems and, above all, the need to ensure the safety of people,
property and the environment. Amongst other aspects, the UN Recommendations cover principles of
classification and definition of classes, listing of the principal dangerous goods, general packing
requirements, testing procedures, marking, labelling or placarding, and shipping documents. There are
in addition special recommendations related to particular classes of goods.
The UN Recommendations are given legal entity by the provisions of a series of international modal
agreements and national legislation for the transport of dangerous goods. The international
agreements include:
– The European Agreement Concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road
(ADR) (covering most of Europe). [2]
– Regulations concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Rail (RID) (covering
most of Europe, parts of North Africa and the Middle East). [3]
– The International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG Code) (worldwide). [4]
– The International Civil Aviation Organization’s Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of
Dangerous Goods by Air (ICAO TIs) (worldwide). [5]
The application of this Standard will need to take account of the requirements of these international
agreements and the relevant national regulations for domestic transport of dangerous goods.
Occasionally during adoption as a modal regulation the text has been modified; RID/ADR permit some
variations to tests for light gauge metal packagings and these are included in annex A.
The cross references between this Standard, the UN Recommendations and the International
Agreements are summarized in annex B.
It is important to note that there will be certain modal differences from the UN Recommendations and
that the schedule for revision of the Recommendations and modal provisions may lead to temporary
inconsistencies with this Standard, which is regularly updated to the latest version of the UN
Recommendations.
It is noted that success in the tests and the allocation of an official UN mark do not on their own
authorize the use of a packaging for any dangerous goods, which are subject to the packing
instructions published in the various modal regulations.
This Standard is based on Revision 12 of the UN Recommendations.
1 Scope
This Standard specifies the design type test requirements for packagings as described in 3.6 of this
standard and intended for use in the transport of dangerous goods.
NOTE This Standard should be used in conjunction with one or more of the international regulations set out
in the Bibliography.

competent authority
any national regulatory body or authority designated or otherwise recognized as such for any purpose
in connection with the regulations specified in the Bibliography
3.2

include various surface treatments together with packagings which differ from the design type only in
their lesser design height
3.3

(see annex B)
3.4
capacity
3.4.1

capacities
3.5
packing group

the degree of danger presented:
Packing group I Packing group II Packing group III
High danger medium danger low danger
NOTE The severity of a packaging test (e.g. the drop height) varies with the packing group of the substance
or article. The allocation of packing groups to substances and articles may be found in the dangerous goods list
of the UN Recommendations.
3.6
packaging
receptacle and any other components or materials necessary for the receptacle to perform its
containment function and are:
designed to contain a net mass not exceeding 400 kg;
designed with a capacity not exceeding 450 l;
not intended to transport most gases;
not intended to transport most infectious substances;
not intended to transport most radioactive materials;
not Intermediate Bulk Containers as defined in the UN Recommendations 6.5.
NOTE 1 Other definitions relevant to this standard may be found in 1.2.1 of the UN Recommendations.

regulations.
NOTE 3 Unless otherwise stated both the 400kg and 450 litre limits apply to all packages irrespective of the
contents.
3.7
"V"-marked packaging
outer packaging conforming to the appropriate requirements from the UN Recommendations 6.1.5.1.7
(see annex C)
3.8
special packagings
collective term for V-marked packaging and salvage packagings (defined in the UN Recommendations
1.2.1)(see annex C)
3.9

containment function and it includes composite packaging
3.10
light gauge metal packaging - (see annex A)
NOTE Other definitions that may be relevant to this standard may be found in the UN Recommendations.
4 Test requirements
4.1 General
Before the packaging is used for dangerous goods, tests shall be carried out successfully on each
packaging design type (see 3.2), which may lead to the issuing of a UN packaging mark. The tests
shall be successfully repeated after any modification which alters the packaging design type. With the
exception of special packagings (see 3.8), all packagings for dangerous goods shall be tested in
accordance with Table 1 and shall meet the requirements contained in 4.2 to 4.6. Special packagings
shall meet the requirements set out in annex C.
Where an inner treatment or coating is applied for safety reasons it shall retain its protectiv
