(1) A bulk container
used for dangerous goods, not being of Class 2, that, at 55° Celsius
or less, are in the form of a liquid or a paste, shall be so filled as to
contain a vapour space (“ullage”) when filled to allow for
expansion of the contents.
(2) The ullage in a
bulk container shall conform to the relevant requirements of the Code.
(3) A bulk container
used for dangerous goods of Class 2, other than those referred to in
subregulation (4), shall not be filled so as to exceed the maximum
permitted filling ratio specified in the Code.
(4) A bulk container
used for dangerous goods of Class 2 in the form of a refrigerated liquid shall
be so filled that, when the liquid phase is uniformly at the temperature at
which the pressure relief device or pressure control valve starts to permit
the release of pressure and the bulk container is standing as it is designed
to stand in storage or during transport, the upper surface of the liquid phase
is not less than 2% by volume below the level of the inlet of the device or
valve through which pressure is released.
(5) Where a
bulk container is divided into compartments this regulation applies in
relation to each compartment as if it were a separate bulk container.
