The load compartments shall have no sharp internal edges (internal steps, etc.) capable of tearing container-bags during unloading. They shall be inspected before any loading operation.

The container-bags shall be placed in the load compartments for carriage prior to any filling. The outer component of the container-bags shall be positioned so that the slider of the zipper is placed on the front side of the load compartment when closed. After filling, the container-bags shall be closed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

Once loaded, the container-bags shall not be lifted or transferred from one load compartment to another. Multiple filled container-bags shall not be loaded into the same load compartment.

After any filling operation and after closing, the outer surfaces of the containerbags shall be decontaminated.

Container-bags carried in removable load compartments shall be unloaded with the latter placed on the ground.

The unloading of container-bags filled with roadworks waste or with soil contaminated with free asbestos by tipping the load compartment is authorized, provided that an unloading protocol agreed jointly between the carrier and the consignee is respected to prevent the container-bags from tearing during unloading. The protocol shall ensure that the container-bags do not fall or tear during the unloading operation.
