The IBC is designed so that. once assembled, the outer casing and inner receptacle form, and areused, as an integrated single unit for filling, storage, transport and discharge. The inner body may be rigid,semi-rigid or flexible but is not designed to directly take the stresses of distribution.

NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standa rd which is Identical to ISO 15867 : 2003 'Intermediate bulk con tainers (IBCs) fornon -dang erous goods - Terminology ' Issued by the International Organization tor Standarrnzation (ISO) WBSadopted by the Bureau of Indian Sta ndards on the recommendation of the Transport Packag es and PackagingCo des Section al Co mmn tee and approval of the Transport Engineering Div ision Council . .

The object of this standard is to define the various terms used in the class ificat ion and charac tensncs ofintermed iate bul k co ntainers.

Intermediate BUlk Containers (IBC s) cornpnse a famil y of large pack aqinqs whi ch are int ermediate betweentho se desc ribed in (a) and the 'tanks ' described In Ib) below

a) Transport packagings such as drums and sacks (bags ) are ge nerally manufactured within an uppersize limi t irrespect ive of the form of the contents. Suc h up per size limits are generally not speci fiedfor non-dangerous co ntents though they are for dange rou s goods. drums for example are limited toa capacity of 450 Iitres and to a mass of contents of 400 kg; and

b) Forms of 'tank' inc lude road tank vehi cles (for example for motor spint ) and ra il tan k wago ns . Theyalso include portab le tanks which may, for Instance, be Similar to the containment vessel of a roadtank vehicle but fitted with lifting devices .'Tanks' are normally regarded as items of transport equipmentrather than as packay ings and their use may be described as transport in bulk. In some circumstanceshow ever. su ch as in the ma rine mode . the term 'bulk trans port may be restricted to tank ships .

To de fine an IBC. it is nec essary to take account of size. the capab ility for mechanical hand ling , the na tureof the contents and the methodolog y for assessing performance.

Th e term lnterrnediat e Bulk Containers (lBCs) oriqmated In the English languag e to de no te a speci fic fami lyot co ntainers . !t is oft en transla ted into oth er languag es as a non-speci fic torm. In such Insta nce s referencemay be made io this standard fo r R denrution .
