Two mandatory national standards for packaging of dangerous goods in China are about to be introduced, which are related to the packaging of various dangerous goods and rescue packaging inside!
On June 16, 2023, the Science and Technology Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced the solicitation of opinions and preparation instructions for 12 mandatory national standards, including the "Safety Technical Specifications for Packaging of Various Hazardous Materials Contained in Transport Packaging of Dangerous Goods" and the "Safety Technical Specifications for Rescue Packaging of Transport Packaging of Dangerous Goods", to further listen to opinions from all sectors of society.
This public announcement is as of August 16, 2023.
In this solicitation of opinions, enterprises related to chemical transportation should focus on the mandatory national standards for "2 dangerous goods transportation packaging":
(1) Safety technical specifications for packaging containing multiple dangerous goods in dangerous goods transportation packaging
(2) Safety Technical Specification for Salvage Packaging of Dangerous Goods Transportation Packaging
Safety technical specifications for packaging containing multiple dangerous goods in dangerous goods transportation packaging
A packaging containing multiple hazardous materials refers to a combination of two or more hazardous materials packed in the same outer packaging (referred to as mixed packaging in the "Regulations Model" and JT/T 617). This type of packaging has been widely used in practical production, but it has not been clearly defined and regulated in various standards before.
The "Technical Specification for the Safety of Packaging Containing Multiple Hazardous Materials" is equivalent to the relevant technical content of packaging containing multiple hazardous materials in the United Nations "Model Regulations" (22nd revised version), and the technical level of the standard is at a leading level in China.
This standard specifies the marking, labeling, packaging requirements, special regulations for limited and exceptional quantity packaging, and packaging inspection of dangerous goods transportation packaging - packaging containing multiple types of dangerous goods. The main points of organization are as follows:
Applicable scope of the standard:
The standard applies to:
Combination packaging for containing various dangerous goods.
The standard does not apply to:
(1) Packages with a net weight greater than 400kg;
(2) Packaging containing liquids with a capacity exceeding 450L, but excluding combination packaging;
(3) Packaging containing 6.2 infectious substances;
(4) Packaging containing radioactive substances;
(5) Gas spray, gas container, pressure reservoir, cryogenic reservoir.
Packaging coding and marking:
(1) The coding method, marking, size, and other requirements for mixed packaging are the same as those for combination packaging;
(2) Mixed packaging only uses the encoding of the outer packaging;
(3) The packaging category of mixed packaging should be determined based on the highest packaging category required for dangerous goods inside.
Transport markings and labels:
(1) Each type of dangerous goods should be labeled and labeled on the mixed packaging (official transportation name, UN number, 1-9 category transportation label) (note: the previous domestic road transportation standard JT/T 617 did not include the official transportation name for the package marking, and the new national standard for the mixed packaging adopted the latest version of the "Regulations Model", which clearly requires the official transportation name to be reflected on the package);
(2) Special dangerous goods require special markings, such as fish tree diagrams, directional markings, lithium battery markings, etc;
(3) If the hazard is already reflected on the primary hazard label, there is no need to attach a secondary hazard label;
(4) Added regulations on packaging and labeling of lithium battery packs.
Special requirements for limited quantity packaging and exceptional quantity packaging:
It has been clarified that hazardous goods exempt from limited and exceptional quantities can be transported in the same outer packaging (i.e. in the form of mixed packaging) under the condition that no hazardous reactions occur during leakage.
Safety Technical Specification for Salvage Packaging of Dangerous Goods Transportation Packaging
Salvage packaging is a special type of packaging used to store damaged, incomplete, leaking, or non compliant hazardous cargo packages, as well as spilled or leaked hazardous cargo, for transportation to recycling or destruction sites. This type of packaging has been widely used as a new form of packaging, but there is currently no standard related to safety technical specifications for rescue packaging in China, and the technical level of this standard is at a leading level in China.
The Safety Technical Specifications for Salvage Packaging are equivalent to the relevant technical requirements for salvage packaging in the United Nations Model Regulations (22nd revised version). This standard specifies the classification of dangerous goods and packaging, packaging coding and marking, transportation marking and labeling, general requirements, and performance testing.
Applicable scope of the standard:
Rescue packaging and large rescue packaging for dangerous goods other than Class 2 gases, infectious substances in item 6.2, and Class 7 radioactive substances.
The standard does not apply to rescue pressure receptacles.
Packaging coding and marking:
(1) The size requirements are the same as those for general dangerous goods packaging;
(2) In packaging coding, the letter "T" should be added after the container type code to indicate rescue packaging/large rescue packaging (as shown in the following figure);
(3) Rescue packaging/large rescue packaging should be marked in accordance with the applicable regulations for Class II packaging containers intended for the transportation of solids or contents, and the markings should comply with the relevant provisions of Section 5.2 of GB 19270-2009 and GB 19432-2009, respectively.

Requirements for transportation markings and labels:
(1) Transport marking (official transport name, UN number);
(2) Special dangerous goods require special markings, such as fish tree diagrams, lithium battery markings, etc;
(3) Mark the words' Rescue SALVAGE 'with a height of no less than 12mm;
(4) When submitting for transportation, additional marks or symbols can be put on the package to indicate that the package should be handled with care during loading, unloading or storage (for example, the symbol of umbrella indicates that the package should be kept dry);
(5) Large rescue packaging should be marked and labeled on both sides.
