BS EN ISO 13274:2013

This standard BS EN ISO 13274:2013 Packaging. Transport packaging for dangerous goods. Plastics compatibility testing for packaging and IBCs is classified in these ICS categories:

• 55.020 Packaging and distribution of goods in general
• 13.300 Protection against dangerous goods

This International Standard specifies the requirements and test methods for compatibility testing of plastics packagings/Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) and composite packagings/IBCs with plastics inners containing liquids. The testing involves storage with the liquid to be transported. For polyethylene-based packaging, testing with a standard liquid as defined in The European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road may be undertaken. Annex B describes small-scale laboratory tests that may be used to determine the assimilation of those products to be carried with the standard liquids.

Where there is any contradiction between this International Standard and any applicable regulation, the regulation always takes precendence.
