ISO 20848-1:2006 包装—プラスチックドラム—パート1：公称容量113,6 l〜220 lの取り外し可能なヘッド（オープンヘッド）ドラム | ページ 2

Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

ISO 20848-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 122, Packaging.

ISO 20848 consists of the following parts, under the general title Packaging — Plastics drums:

• Part 1: Removable head (open head) drums with a nominal capacity of 113,6 l to 220 l
• Part 2: Non-removable head (tight head) drums with a nominal capacity of 208,2 l and 220 l
• Part 3: Plug/bung closure systems for plastics drums with a nominal capacity of 113,6 l to 220 l

Introduction

Throughout the world, a large number of plastics drum types with different dimensions and characteristics are being used. The differences in the minimum filling opening and outer dimensions result in differences in filling, handling and transportation.

ISO 20848 specifies the characteristics and dimensions of plastics drums which are of importance for the worldwide safe handling and transport of substances and for the continued reuse of the drums during their life cycle. Detailed performance requirements and the related test methods are not included as they depend upon the specific application.

Where the drums are intended to be used for the transport of dangerous goods, attention is drawn to the regulatory requirements which govern the transport of those goods in the countries concerned, including capseals/overseals fitted in accordance with the certificate. Depending upon the mode of transport, this means meeting the requirements of:

• UN (United Nations) — Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods,
• ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) — Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air,
• IMO (International Maritime Organization) — International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code.

This involves the certification and marking of the drums according to the regulations.
