Cisterne za prevoz nevarnega blaga - Terminologija
V tem standardu so podani dodatni izrazi in definicije – poleg izrazov in definicij, navedenih v Evropskem sporazumu o mednarodnem prevozu nevarnih snovi po cesti (ADR) oziroma v Predpisih o mednarodnem železniškem prevozu nevarnega blaga (RID) – kot dodatek C h Konvenciji o mednarodnem železniškem prometu (COTIF). Ta dokument je del skupine dokumentov, ki jih je pripravil tehnični odbor Evropskega komiteja za standardizacijo CEN/TC 296 v zvezi s prevozom nevarnega blaga. Skupina dokumentov podpira ustrezno uporabo Evropskega sporazuma o mednarodnem prevozu nevarnih snovi po cesti in Predpisov o mednarodnem železniškem prevozu nevarnega blaga. Ta dokument se uporablja za cisterne za prevoz nevarnega blaga. Ta dokument se ne uporablja za prevoz nevarnega blaga v razsutem stanju. Za lažjo uporabo se v dodatku A (informativni) ponovijo nekatere vzporedne definicije iz poglavja 1.2 Evropskega sporazuma o mednarodnem prevozu nevarnih snovi po cesti 2017, v dodatku B (informativni) pa se ponovijo nekatere definicije iz poglavja 6.7 Evropskega sporazuma o mednarodnem prevozu nevarnih snovi po cesti 2017, ki se navezujejo na premične cisterne. V dodatkih C, D in E (informativni) je abecedno stvarno kazalo izrazov v angleškem, francoskem in nemškem jeziku, pri čemer je ključ angleščina, francoščina oziroma nemščina. Dodatek F (normativni) je shematski prikaz odprtin in zaključkov cistern v skladu s šifro cisterne.
