scope:

This International Standard specifies the requirements and test methods for compatibility testing of plastics packaging/Intermediate Bulk Contains (IBCs) and composite packaging/IBCs with plastics inners containing liquids. The testing involves storage with the liquid to be transported. For polyethylene-based packaging, testing with a standard liquid as defined in The European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road may be undertaken. Annex B describes small-scale laboratory tests that may be used to determine the assimilation of those products to be carried with the standard liquids.

Where there is any contradiction between this International Standard and any applicable regulation, the regulation always takes precendence.
