    TECHNICAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE SAFE TRANSPORT
    OF DANGEROUS GOODS BY AIR
    In Part 2, Introduction Chapter, page 2-0-3, amend paragraph 3.8 to read:
    3.8 The mixture or solution containing one or more substances expressly mentioned in Table 3-1,
    or classified under an n.e.p. entry, and one or more substances not subject to these Instructions, shall be exempt
    from the application of these latter if the risk characteristics of the mixture or solution are such that they do not satisfy
    the criteria of any class (including human experience criteria).
    In Part 3, Chapter 1, page 3-1-3, amend paragraph 1.3.3 to read:
    1.3.3 The mixture or solution containing one or more substances expressly mentioned in Table 3-1,
    or classified under an n.e.p. entry, and one or more substances not subject to these Instructions, shall be exempt
    from the application of these latter if the risk characteristics of the mixture or solution are such that they do not satisfy
    the criteria of any class (including human experience criteria).
    In Part 3, Chapter 1, page 3-1-3, add the following new paragraph:
    1.4 MIXTURES AND SOLUTIONS CONTAINING TWO OR MORE DANGEROUS SUBSTANCES
    1.4.1 Reserved
    Note.— The classification of mixtures or solutions containing two or more dangerous goods should be
    based on the properties of the mixture or solution, not those of the individual substances. In some cases, it will be more appropriate to select the UN number of a substance specifically listed in Table
    3-1. For example, for mixtures or solutions containing a substance whose name is specifically listed in Table 3-1 and traces or small quantities of another or other dangerous goods, it may
    be more appropriate to assign them the UN number and the proper shipping name of the predominant substance.
    In Part 4, Chapter 4, page 4-4-1, amend the first part of paragraph 4.1.1.2 to read:
    4.1.1.2 The parts of cylinders and closed cryogenic receptacles that are in direct contact with
    dangerous goods must not be affected or weakened by such dangerous goods or cause a hazardous effect (e.g., catalyzing a reaction or reacting with the dangerous goods). In addition to the
    conditions specified in the relevant packing instruction, which take precedence, the corresponding provisions of ISO 11114-1:1997 and ISO 11114-2:2000 must be complied with. Cylinders for UN 1001, Dissolved Acetylene, and UN 3374 Acetylene without solvent, must be filled with a porous mass, uniformly distributed,
    of a type that conforms to the conditions and tests specified by the relevant national authority and
    that:
    In Part 4, Chapter 4, page 4-4-2, Packing Instruction 200:
    Amend the first sentence to read:
    For cylinders, the general conditions relating to packagings of 1.1 and 4.1.1 must be met.
    In subparagraph 4), page 4-4-4:
    In the first line, delete «(for gases see ISO 11114-1:1997 and ISO 11114-2:2000)»
    In item a), replace «are not authorized» with «are prohibited»
    In item b), replace «shall not be used» with «are prohibited»
    In item d), replace «shall be authorized» with «are allowed»
