Foreword
This document (EN ISO 16467:2003) 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 EN ISO 16467:2003 shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication
of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by April 2004, and conflicting national standards shall be
withdrawn at the latest by April 2004.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European
Free Trade Association, and supports the objectives of the framework Directives on Transport of Dangerous
Goods.
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, D and E are informative. Annexes B and C are normative.
This document includes a Bibliography.
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.
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 can lead to the
allocation of an appropriate UN IBC mark. 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 (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.
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 an IBC for any dangerous goods. There are other regulatory provisions that have to be taken into account in
each instance.
This European Standard is based on Revision 12 of the UN Recommendations.
1 Scope
This European Standard specifies the design type test requirements for Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) as
described in 3.2 of this standard and intended for use in the transport of dangerous goods.
2 Normative references
This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These
normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the publications are listed hereafter. For
dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European
Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the
publication referred to applies (including amendments).

conformance testing, quality conformance testing and recalibration procedure

17025:1999).
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this European Standard the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
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
Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs)
rigid or flexible portable packagings, other than those specified in Chapter 6.1 of the UN Recommendations, that:
have a capacity of:
i) not more than 3,0 m (3,000 l) for solids and liquids of Packing Groups II and III;
ii) not more than 1,5 m for solids of Packing Group I when packed in flexible, rigid plastics, composite,
fibreboard and wooden IBCs;
iii) not more than 3,0 m for solids of Packing Group I when packed in metal IBCs.
iv) not more than 3,0 m for radioactive material of class 7
are designed for mechanical handling;
are resistant to the stresses produced in handling and transport, as determined by tests.
3.3
IBC design type
IBC of one design, size, material and thickness, manner of construction and means of filling and discharging,
including various surface treatments, together with IBCs which differ from the design type only in their lesser
external dimensions
NOTE 1 Attention is drawn to the fact that, when the IBC design type has a maximum capacity greater than 450 l and IBCs
of that type with lesser dimensions bring the capacity below 450 l, additional tests can be necessary.
NOTE 2 For flexible IBCs the design type is specified by the grammage per square metre not by the thickness.
3.4
liquids
o
dangerous goods which at 50 C have a vapour pressure of not more than 300 kPa (3 bar), which are not
o
completely gaseous at 20 C and at a pressure of 101,3 kPa, and which have a melting point or initial melting point
o
of 20 C or less at a pressure of 101,3 kPa
NOTE An expansion of this definition can be found in annex A
3.5
solids
dangerous goods, other than gases, that do not meet the definition of liquids
3.6
capacities
3.6.1
brimful (overflow, maximum) capacity
maximum volume of water in litres held by the IBC when filled through the designed filling orifice to the point of
overflowing in its normal position of filling
3.6.2
nominal capacity
capacity in litres which, by convention is used to represent a class of packagings of similar brimful capacities
3.7
packing groups
group to which substances of most classes of dangerous goods are assigned according to the degree of danger
presented:
Packing Group I Packing Group II Packing Group III
high danger medium danger low danger
NOTE The severity of an IBC test (e.g. the drop height) varies with the packing group of the substance.
3.8
types of IBCs
NOTE Further definitions are found in UN 6.5.1.3:
3.8.1
Rigid IBCs (RIBCs)
metal, rigid plastics, composite, fibreboard and wooden IBCs
3.8.2
Flexible IBCs (FIBCs)
paper, plastics and textile IBCs
3.9
maximum net mass
maximum mass of contents in one IBC expressed in kilograms
3.10
maximum permissible gross mass (for all RIBCs)
mass of the IBC and any service or structural equipment together with the maximum net mass
3.11
filling
3.11.1
under pressure
filling under a pressure of more than 10 kPa (0,1 bar)
3.11.2
under gravity
filling under gravity alone or a pressure of not more than 10 kPa (0,1 bar)
3.12
discharging
3.12.1
under pressure
discharging under a pressure of more than 10 kPa (0,1 bar)
3.12.2
under gravity
discharging under gravity alone or a pressure of not more than 10 kPa (0,1 bar)
4 Test requirements
4.1 Test and sequence requirements
4.1.1 Table 1 sets out the test requirements for IBCs
NOTE 1 The tests required in Table 1 correspond to the applicability provisions of the UN Recommendations but not
necessarily to the tabulation therein.
NOTE 2 Successful design type tests as described in this standard normally lead to the allocation of a UN IBC mark by the
competent authority. It is a requirement of the regulations listed in the Biliography that, before the IBC is used for dangerous
goods, tests ar
