Initial reference to the national legislation: Regulation 82(8) of the ‘Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road Regulations, 2004’.
Comments: Flexible hoses fitted to home delivery tank-vehicles must remain full at all times even during transport. The discharge system is known as a ‘wet-line’ system that requires the tank-vehicle’s meter and hose to be primed so as to ensure the customer receives the correct quantity of product.

Subject: Exemption from some requirements of 5.4.0, 5.4.1.1.1 and 7.5.11 of the ADR for the transport in bulk of ammonium nitrate fertiliser UN 2067 from ports to consignees.
Reference to Annex I, Section I.1, to this Directive: 5.4.0, 5.4.1.1.1 and 7.5.11.
Content of the Annex to the Directive: The requirement for a separate transport document, with the correct total quantity for the particular load included, for each transport journey; and the requirement for the vehicle to be cleaned before and after the journey.
Content of the national legislation: Proposed derogation to allow modifications to the requirements of the ADR on the transport document and vehicle cleaning; to take account of the practicalities of bulk transport from port to consignee.
Initial reference to the national legislation: Proposed amendment to ‘Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road Regulations, 2004’.
Comments: The provisions of the ADR require (a) a separate transport document, containing the total mass of dangerous goods carried for the particular load; and (b) the Special Provision ‘CV24’ on cleaning for each and every load being transported between the port and the consignee during the unloading of a bulk ship. As the transport is local and as it concerns the unloading of a bulk ship, involving multiple transport loads (on the same or consecutive days) of the same substance between the bulk ship and the consignee, a single transport document, with an approximate total mass of each load, should suffice and it should not be necessary to require the Special Provision ‘CV24’.
