Manufacturer’s internal inspection service for inspection of tanks for transportation of dangerous goods by motor transport. Risks and opportunities in today’s realities
EDN: MMXUQM
Abstract
Introduction (problem statement and relevance). For several decades, the issues of development of a comprehensive system of inspection of safety of tanks for transportation of dangerous goods within the Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR) dated 30 September 1957 have been staying relevant.
The purpose of the study is to improve efficiency of ADR implementation in the Russian Federation.
Methodology and research methods. The study analyses activity of technical authorities and regulatory & technical base including standardization documents. The Russian Federation conformity assessment system organizational structure within the ADR is presented as a prospect of development of technical regulation of tanks for transportation of dangerous goods in order to improve traffic safety.
Scientific novelty and results. Recommendations and proposals on organization of primary tests for domestic plants for manufacturing of tank trucks or road tankers for transportation of dangerous goods are formulated in order to ensure manufacturing of high-quality products and compliance with the ADR requirements. Risk analysis has been performed, and approaches to organization of internal inspection services at the manufacturers (manufacturing plants) have been considered, as well as an algorithm of assessment of such services. Analysis of international experience of conformity assessment process organization for tanks for transportation of dangerous goods within the ADR has been performed, and issues of stakeholders empowerment (accreditation/notification) have been addressed.
Practical significance. The formulated proposals will make it possible to improve efficiency of implementation of the ADR provisions in the Russian Federation.
