Asbestos which is immersed or fixed in a natural or artificial binder (such as cement, plastics, asphalt, resins or mineral ore) in such a way that no escape of hazardous quantities of respirable asbestos fibres can occur during carriage is not subject to the requirements of RID. Manufactured articles containing asbestos and not meeting this provision are nevertheless not subject to the requirements of RID when packed so that no escape of hazardous quantities of respirable asbestos fibres can occur during carriage.
