Abstract

Specifies requirements for the design and construction of tankers for the transport of cargo which is normally liquid, and which is toxic or corrosive. To be used in conjunction with AS 2809.1 (which applies to all road tank vehicles).

Scope

This Standard specifies requirements for the design and construction of tankers for the transport of toxic or corrosive cargo, which is normally liquid. This Standard is complementary to AS 2809.1. For toxic and corrosive compressed liquefied gases refer to AS 2809.3 in addition to this Standard.
NOTES:
1 Five alternative types of cargo tanks are described in the 6th edition of the ADG Code. Where it is desired to transport a product not listed in the ADG Code, the Authority should be consulted. Regulations may forbid the transport of certain dangerous goods in bulk, or may limit the quantity, or may require specific approval beforehand.
2 The 6th edition of the ADG Code makes the link between cargo type and tank type. In the context of this Standard, and aside from identifying the tank type, the latest version of the ADG Code should be used for all other purposes.
