ADR 3H1 jerry cans

ADR containers or jerry cans are used to transport hazardous liquids. ADR plastic containers bear the UN 3H certification. ADR jerry cans or ADR plastic containers must also be chemically compatible with the reference liquids specified in ADR Chapter4.1.1.21.

For most UN numbers, the ADR specifies the reference liquid(s) that the packaging must be able to withstand. By default, the ADR lists five reference liquids: 55% nitric acid, water, acetic acid, a mixture of hydrocarbons, and n-butyl acetate. For UN numbers without a reference liquid or generic UN numbers (nsa), refer to ADR Chapter 4.1.1.21.1 and 4.1.1..21.2

Therefore, for plastic containers, you must ensure compliance with the packaging group, the density of the contained product, the vapor pressure, and chemical compatibility: Please consult us if you have any questions.
