EX/II Vehicles or EX/III vehicles intended for the carriage of explosive substances and explosive articles.
AT Vehicles other than those of type FL or OX, intended for the carriage of dangerous goods in tank containers, portable tanks or MEGC’S of more than 3000 litres capacity, fixed tanks or demountable tanks of more than 1000 litres capacity, and battery vehicles of more than 1000 litres capacity other than those of type FL. NOTE: This mainly concerns the carriage of liquids with a flash point greater than 61°C.
FL Vehicles intended for the carriage of liquids with a flash point of not more than 61°C or flammable gases, in tank containers, portable tanks or MEGCs of more than 3000 litres capacity, fixed tanks or demountable tanks of more than 1000 litres capacity and for battery-vehicles of more than 1000 litres capacity intended for the carriage of flammable gases.
OX Vehicles used for the carriage of Hydrogen Peroxide, stabilised or Hydrogen Peroxide, aqueous solution stabilised with more than 60% Hydrogen Peroxide.
There are some important points to note:
Type OX vehicles are normally included as an “extra” on the application for a Type FL or an exceptional Type AT vehicle inspection. Therefore in addition to the constructional requirements set out above, the requirements of the appropriate base vehicle guidance notes for AT or FL must also be met.
The CDG regulations require that a CDG/ADR Certificate be issued in respect of each individual vehicle to be used for the conveyance of substances. This applies irrespective of whether the vehicle is a single vehicle, or an articulated combination. All vehicles are required to have passed an annual roadworthiness test before a dangerous goods certificate can be awarded. In the case of new vehicles/trailers, a roadworthiness certificate will not be required for the initial certificate.
