Verpackungsanweisung 208

The general packing requirements of Part 4, Chapter 1 must be met.

Articles, pressurized pneumatic or hydraulic containing a non-flammable, non-liquefied and non-toxic gas and constructed from materials which will not fragment under pressure, may be carried under the following conditions:

a) when installed in construction equipment and assembled machinery, articlesmust be designed and constructed with a burst pressure of not less than five times their charged pressure at 21C when shipped;

Note.- Labelling, marking, dangerous goods transport document and information to pilot-in-command are not required.

b) when tightly packed to prevent movement in strong outer packagings and charged to not more than 1 380 kPa at 21C, the following conditions also apply:

 1) each article must have a fluid space not exceeding 41 L under stored pressure;

 2) each article must be tested without failure or damage to at least three times its charged pressure at 21C but not less than 830 kPa before initial shipment and before each refilling and re-shipment;

c) when tightly packed to prevent movement in strong outer packagings and charged with a pressure exceeding 1 380 kPa at 21C the following conditions also apply:

 1) each article must have a fluid space not exceeding 41 L under stored pressure;

 2) each article must be tested without failure or damage to at least three times its charged pressure at 21C, but not less than 830 kPa before initial shipment and before each refilling and reshipment;

 3) each article must be designed and constructed with a burst pressure of not less than five times its charged pressure at 21C when shipped.
