The waste may be carried in bulk provided that it is contained in a bag of the size of the load compartment, referred to as a "container-bag".

The container-bag is intended to be loaded only when placed inside a bulk load compartment with rigid walls. It is not intended for handling or to be used alone outside of this compartment.

For the purposes of this provision, container-bags shall have at least two components.

The inner component shall be dust-tight to prevent the release of dangerous quantities of asbestos fibres during carriage. The inner component shall be a polyethylene or polypropylene film.

The outer component shall be polypropylene and shall be fitted with a zipper system. It shall ensure the mechanical resistance of a container-bag loaded with waste to the shocks and stresses in normal conditions of carriage, in particular when a load compartment loaded with container-bags is transferred between vehicles and storage facilities.

Container-bags shall:

(a) Be designed to resist perforation or tearing by contaminated waste or objects due to their angles or roughness;

(b) Have a zipper system that is sufficiently tight to prevent the release of dangerous quantities of asbestos fibres during carriage. Laced or flapped fasteners are not authorized.

The load compartment shall have rigid metal walls of sufficient strength for its intended use. The walls shall be sufficiently high to completely contain the container-bag. Provided the container-bag offers similar protection, the sheeting of the vehicle can be omitted when using the VC1 provision.

Objects contaminated with free asbestos from damaged structures or buildings, as well as construction site waste contaminated with free asbestos from demolished or rehabilitated structures or buildings as mentioned in special provision 678 (b) (iii), (iv) and (v), shall be carried in a container-bag placed inside a second container-bag of the same type. The total mass of the contained waste shall not exceed 7 tonnes.

In all cases, the maximum mass of the waste shall not exceed the capacity specified by the container-bag manufacturer.
