75 °C ± 2 °C for a period of 24 hours.

274 The provisions of 3.1.2.8 apply.

278 These substances shall not be classified and carried unless authorized by the

competent authority on the basis of results from Series 2 tests and a Series 6(c) test of

Part I of the Manual of Tests and Criteria on packages as prepared for carriage (see

2.2.1.1). The competent authority shall assign the packing group on the basis of 2.2.3

criteria and the package type used for the Series 6(c) test.

279 The substance is assigned to this classification or packing group based on human

experience rather than the strict application of classification criteria set out in ADN.

280 This entry applies to articles which are used as life-saving vehicle air bag inflators, or

air bag modules or seat-belt pretensioners and which contain dangerous goods of

Class 1 or dangerous goods of other classes and when carried as component parts and

when these articles as presented for carriage have been tested in accordance with Test

series 6 (c) of Part I of the Manual of Tests and Criteria, with no explosion of the

device, no fragmentation of device casing or pressure vessel, and no projection hazard

nor thermal effect which would significantly hinder fire-fighting or other emergency

response efforts in the immediate vicinity.

283 Articles, containing gas, intended to function as shock absorbers, including impact

energy-absorbing devices, or pneumatic springs are not subject to the requirements of

ADN provided:

(a) Each article has a gas space capacity not exceeding 1.6 litres and a charge

pressure not exceeding 280 bar where the product of the capacity (litres) and

charge pressure (bars) does not exceed 80 (i.e. 0.5 litres gas space and 160 bar

charge pressure, 1 litre gas space and 80 bar charge pressure, 1.6 litres gas space

and 50 bar charge pressure, 0.28 litres gas space and 280 bar charge pressure);

(b) Each article has a minimum burst pressure of 4 times the charge pressure at

20 °C for products not exceeding 0.5 litres gas space capacity and 5 times

charge pressure for products greater than 0.5 litres gas space capacity;

rupture;

(d) Each article is manufactured in accordance with a quality assurance standard

acceptable to the competent authority; and

(e) The design type has been subjected to a fire test demonstrating that the article

relieves its pressure by means of a fire degradable seal or other pressure relief

device, such that the article will not fragment and that the article does not

rocket.
