Waste lighters collected separately and consigned in accordance with 5.4.1.1.3.1 may be carried under this entry for the purposes of disposal.

- only rigid packagings of a maximum capacity of 60 litres shall be used;

- the packagings shall be filled with water or any other appropriate protection material to avoid any ignition;

- under normal conditions of carriage all ignition devices of the lighters shall fully be covered by the protection material;

- the packagings shall be adequately vented to prevent the creation of flammable atmosphere and the build up of pressure;

- the packages shall only be carried in ventilated or open wagons or containers.

Leaking or severely deformed lighters shall be carried in salvage packagings, provided appropriate measures are taken to ensure there is no dangerous build up of pressure.
