168 Asbestos which is immersed or fixed in a natural or artificial binder (such as cement,

plastics, asphalt, resins or mineral ore) in such a way that no escape of hazardous

quantities of respirable asbestos fibres can occur during carriage is not subject to the

requirements of ADN. Manufactured articles containing asbestos and not meeting this

provision are nevertheless not subject to the requirements of ADN when packed so

that no escape of hazardous quantities of respirable asbestos fibres can occur during

carriage.

169 Phthalic anhydride in the solid state and tetrahydrophthalic anhydrides, with not more

than 0.05% maleic anhydride, are not subject to the requirements of ADN. Phthalic

anhydride molten at a temperature above its flash-point, with not more than 0.05%

maleic anhydride, shall be classified under UN No. 3256.

172 For radioactive material with a subsidiary risk:

(a) The packages shall be labelled with a label corresponding to each subsidiary

risk exhibited by the material; corresponding placards shall be affixed to

vehicles, wagons or containers in accordance with the relevant provisions of

5.3.1;

(b) The radioactive material shall be allocated to packing groups I, II or III, as and

if appropriate, by application of the grouping criteria provided in Part 2

corresponding to the nature of the predominant subsidiary risk.

The description required in 5.4.1.2.5.1 (b) shall include a description of these

subsidiary risks (e.g. "Subsidiary risk: 3, 6.1"), the name of the constituents which

most predominantly contribute to this (these) subsidiary risk(s), and where applicable,

the packing group.

177 Barium sulphate is not subject to the requirements of ADN.

178 This designation shall be used only when no other appropriate designation exists in

Table A of Chapter 3.2, and only with the approval of the competent authority of the

country of origin (see 2.2.1.1.3).

181 Packages containing this type of substance shall bear a label conforming to

model No. 1 (see 5.2.2.2.2) unless the competent authority of the country of origin has

permitted this label to be dispensed with for the specific packaging employed because

test data have proved that the substance in this packaging does not exhibit explosive

behaviour (see 5.2.2.1.9).

182 The group of alkali metals includes lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium and

caesium.

183 The group of alkaline earth metals includes magnesium, calcium, strontium and

barium.

186 In determining the ammonium nitrate content, all nitrate ions for which a molecular

equivalent of ammonium ions is present in the mixture shall be calculated as

ammonium nitrate.
