Additional specific requirements applicable to particular road tank vehicles are detailed in the appropriate part of the AS 2809 series of Standards. The suite of Standards f
12、or road tank vehicles comprises six (6) Parts. The scope of the brief given to the Committee was to review Parts 1, 2 and 3. NOTE: Parts 4, 5 and 6 are to be reviewed at a later date yet to be determined. The following Parts have been revised by the Committee: Part 1: General requirements for all ro

The terms normative and informative have been used in this Standard to define the application of the appendix to which they apply. A normative appendix is an integral part
15、of a Standard, whereas an informative appendix is only for information and guidance.

19、r all road tank vehicles SECTION 1 SCOPE AND GENERAL 1.1 SCOPE This Standard specifies general requirements for the design, construction, testing, maintenance and inspection of road tank vehicles, irrespective of the cargo, that are intended for the road transport of dangerous goods. The Standard de
20、als with vehicles that are designed and constructed specifically as road tank vehicles. It is applicable also to conventional vehicles that are to carry portable or demountable tanks or tank containers which are filled or emptied whilst on the vehicle and as a consequence are deemed to be a road tan
21、k vehicle. The general vehicle and safety requirements are regulated by the Australian Design Rules (ADR) issued by the Department of Transport and Regional Services and these rules are outside the scope of this Standard. Throughout this Standard the term road tank vehicle is used and has the same m
22、eaning as tanker. 1.2 OBJECTIVE The objective of this Standard is to provide designers, planners, operators and regulators with technical requirements for road tank vehicles transporting dangerous goods. 1.3 APPLICATION Road tank vehicles intended for the transport of dangerous goods shall comply wi
23、th this Standard, and with such other Part of the AS 2809 series as is relevant to the special needs of the particular cargo. Where a cargo has two characteristics, e.g. toxic and flammable, or where a road tank vehicle is switched from one cargo to another, the requirements of all relevant Parts sh
24、all apply. 1.4 REFERENCED DOCUMENTS A list of the documents referred to in this Standard is provided in Appendix A. 1.5 DEFINITIONS For the purposes of this Standard, the definitions in the Australian Code for the Transport of Dangerous Goods by Road and Rail (ADG Code) and the following definitions
