Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted
by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this part of ISO 15750 may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 15750-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 122, Packaging.
ISO 15750 consists of the following parts, under the general title Packaging — Steel drums:
— Part 1: Removable head (open head) drums with a minimum total capacity of 208 l, 210 l and 216,5 l
— Part 2: Non-removable head (tight head) drums with a minimum total capacity of 212 l, 216,5 l and 230 l
— Part 3: Inserted flange-type closure systems

Introduction
Throughout the world a large number of steel drum types with different dimensions and characteristics are being
used. The differences in location of the filling opening and outer dimensions result in differences in filling, handling
and transportation.
This part of ISO 15750 gives uniform specifications for four main types of drums for use in international trade and
the preferred target option is drum type A (see Table 1).
It specifies the characteristics and dimensions of steel drums which are of importance for the exchangeability, and
does not give detailed performance requirements and related test methods. The performance requirements depend
on the specific application.
Where the drums are intended to be used for the transport of dangerous goods, attention is drawn to the regulatory
requirements which govern the transport of those goods in the countries concerned, including capseals/overseals
fitted in accordance with the certificate. Depending upon the mode of transport, this means meeting the
requirements of:
 UN (United Nations): Recommendations on the transport of dangerous goods. Model regulations;
 ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization): Technical Instructions for safe transport of dangerous goods
by air;
 IMO (International Maritime Organization): International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code.
This involves the certification and marking of the drums according to the regulations.
