Bulk Carriage Waste Bags

"

Bulk carriage waste bags of clinical waste will usually be in the form of yellow or orange bags loosely loaded into the back of a van, lorry or bin.

Bags are not ""packages"" in their own right. They may be used in conjunction with a bin (which then forms a package), but if loosely loaded in to the load compartment of a vehicle they comprise ""carriage in bulk"". Regulations introduced in 2009 in the UK require UN 3291 type clinical waste to be transported to incineration or alternative treatment centres for processing and disposal in approved bags and containers. All plastic waste bags used for this purpose must be sealed, leak proof and tested for solids of packing group II. Contents should not exceed 30KG. Markings must be in accordance with the regulations and provide a visual confirmation that bags have passed the tests for bulk transport as defined in the current RID/ADR and IMDG code requirements. These bags meet ADR 7.3.2.6.2 (c) for carriage in Bulk. These bulk carriage waste bags have been fully tested and approved to meet or exceed the key requirements of these regulations:

• Dart impact resistance: 165g
• Tear resistance: 480g parallel and perpendicular
• Drop test: 30Kg
• Size 29 x 39"" (736 x 990mm)
• Volume 90 Litres
• Thickness 75mu
• Packaging 100 bags (10 rolls of 10)
