Description

AS 2809.1 – 2023 Edition – Road tank vehicles for dangerous goods, Part 1: General requirements for all road tank vehicles

AS 2809 Part 1 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 deals with vehicles that are designed and constructed specifically as road tank vehicles.

AS 2809.1 is applicable also to conventional vehicles that carry portable or demountable tanks which are filled or discharged while on the vehicle and as a consequence are deemed to be a road tank vehicle for the purposes of the AS 2809 (see Note 1).

NOTE1 This does not include single filling or discharge of a portable tank in intermodal service.
NOTE2 The general vehicle and safety requirements are regulated by the Australian Design Rules (ADR)for motor vehicles issued by the Australian Commonwealth Government; these rules are outside the scope of this Standard.
NOTE3 Throughout this Standard the term “road tank vehicle” is used and has the same meaning as “tanker”.
