24、luding gaskets, shall be permanently marked with the relevant material identification symbol, i.e. the symbol identifying the material from which the component is made. 3.4 Closures The closure system shall consist of a lid and a closing ring or other device. NOTE For the purpose of transport and st
25、orage, the filled drum should be closed to the manufacturers recommendations. The closure system shall incorporate a facility for providing evidence of tampering. 3.5 Materials The drum shall be manufactured from either high density polyethylene or other suitable plastics materials appropriate to th
26、e physical and chemical requirements of its intended use. 3.6 Handling Provision for manual handling shall be provided. Adaptations for mechanical handling may be added but, if so, their construction should be adequate for normal static and dynamic handling of filled drums. 3.7 Stacking The drum sha
27、ll be capable of being stacked with or without pallets, according to the manufacturers recommendations.

28、ed between the purchaser and the supplier. NOTE 2 The preferred colour option for the drum body is blue. The use of any other colour should be agreed between the purchaser and the supplier. 4 Designation A removable head (open head) drum (OH) manufactured in accordance with this Standard shall be de
29、signated in the following manner: Plastics drum OH EN 12714 NC Nominal capacity EXAMPLE 1 A removable head (open head) drum (OH) manufactured in accordance with this Standard with a nominal capacity of 25 l to 60 l would be designated: Plastics drum OH EN 12714 NC - 25 l to 60 l. EXAMPLE 2 A removab
30、le head (open head) drum with a nominal capacity of 50 l would be designated: Plastics drum OH EN 12714 NC - 50 l. NOTE 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 cou
31、ntries concerned. In Europe, depending upon the mode of transport, this means meeting the requirements of: European Agreement Concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR); Regulations concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Rail (RID); Technical Instruct
32、ions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air, Document 9284-AN/905 published by the Council of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO); The International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG-CODE) published by the International Maritime Organization (IMO).

36、um and its conversion to a capacity. A correction factor (see 4.1.1 of EN ISO 90-2:1999) may be applied according to Table A.1, but only if the weighing scale used is of a higher precision than the correction. NOTE For plastics drums the water temperature should not exceed 18 C. Table A.1 Correction
37、 factors Water temperature C Correction factor (F) 12 1,000 5 14 1,000 8 16 1,001 18 1,001 4 A.2 Apparatus Weighing scale, with an accuracy of at least 0,1% of the weight being measured. A.3 Procedure for determination of total capacity A.3.1 For removable head (open head) drums, place the lid, fitt
38、ed with a closure for filling purposes, on the drum and close it using the recommended method. A.3.2 Drill a hole of diameter 5 mm to 10 mm for venting at the highest point of the closed drum. NOTE The position of the hole depends on the profile of the top. A.3.3 Weigh the empty drum and record its
39、mass, m1, in grams. A.3.4 Measure the temperature of the tap water to be used to fill the drum. A.3.5 Fill the drum 100 % with water through the filling closure and make sure that air is vented through the drilled hole. NOTE For certain drums, the drum needs to be inclined or tilted, so that the fil
40、ling hole is at the highest position. A.3.6 Fit and secure the drum closure and remove any surplus water from the outside. DIN EN 12714:2009-10 EN 12714:2009 (E) 9 A.3.7 Weigh the filled drum and record its mass, m2, in grams. A.4 Procedure for determination of brimful capacity Follow the same proce
41、dure as for the determination of total capacity (see A.3) with the exception that no hole is drilled to vent entrapped air. Fill the drum, with the drum in the normal position for filling, until water overflows at the closure. A.5 Expression of results The difference between the mass of the filled d
42、rum, m2, and the mass of the empty drum, m1, (m2 - m1), if necessary multiplied by the correction factor (F), represents the capacity of the drum as determined by the procedure used.
