Abstract
Several interesting developments in plastics packagings and intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) for the transport of dangerous goods are of importance. Significant developments include the application of new materials and packaging concepts, the increasing re-use of packaging and the possibility of the application of recycled material. How these developments have influenced or should influence the UN recommendations and regulations on the transport of dangerous goods is discussed. Further, the role of CEN and ISO standards, which are under development, is indicated. In this context, the European project CHEMPACK funded by the EC within the framework of the Standards, Measurements and Testing programme, is outlined. This project is executed in cooperation with raw materials manufacturers, packaging/IBC manufacturers and research institutes, and is coordinated by TNO. The aim of the project is to develop harmonized test methods and procedures for the assessment of the chemical compatibility of plastics packagings and IBCs. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
