1 shows a dangerous goods packaging according to the invention in cross section. The dangerous goods packaging comprises a primary container 1 , a secondary container 3 as well as an outer packaging 12 on.

The primary container 1 is in the form of a bucket 18 with first lid 19 that z. B. can be made of plastic, formed. The first lid 19 closes at an upper edge 2 The bucket 18 liquid-tight and pressure-resistant up to an internal pressure of at least 95 kPa. The bucket 18 and the first lid 19 are dimensionally stable in use. The primary container 1 is so filling that multiple inputs of dangerous goods at different times to the final filling are possible. After the last input, the first cover for transport can be closed so securely that a subsequent opening is prevented. This is the first cover 19 designed as a pressure lid, which is on the upper edge 2 of the bucket 18 can be pressed on, thus the bucket 18 liquid-tight and pressure-tight to close. In this case, locking means on the bucket and on the first cover 19 be provided. Furthermore, the first lid on the top of the bucket 18 be glued. to Achieving the tightness for liquids and the pressure tightness can be between the top edge 2 of the bucket 18 and the first lid 19 a seal may be provided.

The primary container 1 For example, it may have a nominal volume of 20 liters, an outer diameter of between 246-290 mm and a height of 451 mm.

The primary container 1 serves to accommodate the dangerous goods to be transported, which may be infectious substances in particular. So that the entire dangerous goods packaging does not have to be set up where it is filled during filling, the primary packaging is 1 from the secondary packaging 3 removable. For this, the bucket 18 a carrying device in the form of a handle 25 on.

The primary container 1 can also have the required according to DIN 30739 1998-12 disinfectability, fall resistance, stacking strength / stack stability, Durchdringfestigkeit, tightness for microorganisms and tightness of liquids.

The primary container 1 is in a secondary container 3 recorded in the form of a commercial lidded barrel. For shock absorption is in the remaining space between the lidded barrel and the primary container 1 filling material 8th filled in the form of chips made of foamed plastic. The filling material 8th However, it can also be made of another material, such as mats made of elastic material, paper or cardboard. The lidded barrel comprises a barrel 4 and a second lid 5 , In the secondary container 3 is also a liquid-absorbing material 6 received, which is provided in the form of cushion, in which a superabsorbent material is incorporated for absorbing liquid. The liquid-absorbing material 6 lies on a ground 7 of the barrel 4 on, so that in case of a rupture of the primary container 1 and when they leak, they are on the ground 7 collect and from the liquid-absorbent material 6 can be absorbed without removing the liquid from the secondary container 3 exit. The liquid-absorbing material 6 may also be provided in other forms, such as in the form of towels or loose powder. Furthermore, the liquid-absorbing material 6 also through the filling material 8th be educated yourself.

The second lid 5 can on the barrel 4 by means of a clamping ring 9 be attached. For this purpose, the barrel 4 at an upper edge 10 a circumferential first collar 14 up, around an opening 15 of the barrel 4 is arranged. The second lid 5 also has a circumferential second collar 16 on. The clamping ring 9 is designed to be the first collar 14 and the second collar 16 encloses and the second lid 5 on the barrel 4 braced. Between the upper edge 10 and the second lid 5 is a (not shown here) circumferential seal provided to the barrel 4 complete liquid-tight. The seal can also be replaced by an adhesive, leaving the lid 5 on the barrel 4 is glued. This leads to a safer attachment of the second lid 5 on the barrel 4 and is to be provided in particular for dangerous goods packaging for disposal, as in this type of dangerous goods packaging after final filling a repeated opening of the secondary container 3 is not required. For easy handling of the lidded barrel has the barrel 4 two handles 11 on.

The secondary container 3 is in an outer packaging 12 in the form of a folding box 20 added. This is a commercially available folding carton 20 , where the outer packaging 12 a cardboard bottom 13 and a cardboard lid 17 each formed of a plurality of layers of cardboard material, so that the folding carton 20 is particularly protected against external mechanical influences. The folding box 20 is preferably made of a corrugated cardboard cut, which is preferably glued and stapled.

To ensure adequate stability and penetration resistance of the outer packaging 12 to ensure is the cardboard bottom 13 formed from several layers of cardboard material. Here are four with side walls 21 of folding carton 20 connected bottom flaps 22 and four separate layers 23 Made of corrugated cardboard, on the bottom flaps 22 rest on the inside, provided. The bottom flaps 22 each butt against each other in pairs and form two layers of cardboard material. Overall, this results in a six-layer construction of the cardboard bottom 13 ,

In a similar way is the cardboard lid 17 composed of several layers of cardboard material. Here are also four with the side walls 21 of folding carton 20 connected lid flaps 24 and four separate layers 23 made of corrugated cardboard. The separate layers 23 made of corrugated cardboard are between the secondary container 3 and the lid flaps 24 arranged. The lid flaps 24 each butt against each other in pairs and form two layers of cardboard material. Overall, this results in a six-layer construction of the cardboard lid 17 ,

2 shows for clarity a blank of the folding carton 20 FEFCO 0201. Other folding cartons in the form of FEFCO cartons may be used.

The blank has four side walls 21 on, on each of which on opposite sides of a bottom flap 22 and a lid flap 24 connected is. On one of the outer side walls 21 is a connecting strap 26 provided with a connecting edge 27 one of the connecting tab 26 opposite side wall 21 is connectable. Preferably, the connection tab 26 with the connecting edge 27 glued and stapled.

3 shows the structure of the material used for the folding carton 20 , The folding box 20 including the separate layers 23 of cardboard material is preferably made entirely of a three-walled corrugated board. An ACA (coarse wave-medium wave-coarse wave) wave combination has proven to be favorable. A-waves (coarse waves) have a wave pitch of 8-9.5 mm and a wave height of 4.5-4.8 mm. C-waves (center waves) have a wave pitch of 6.8-7.9 mm and a wave height of 3.2-3.9 mm. The corrugated board has a layer structure in the following order: outer cover 28 , first wave 29 , first false ceiling 30 , second wave 31 , second false ceiling 32 , third wave 33 and interior ceiling 34 , As beneficial has been found when the outer ceiling 28 from a kraftliner with approx. 440 g / m ² , the false ceilings 30 . 32 from a kraftliner with approx. 175 g / m ² and the inner blanket 34 are made of a kraftliner with about 400 g / m ² . The waves 29 . 31 . 33 are preferably made of cardboard with a basis weight of about 140 g / m ² .

So that the entire dangerous goods packaging can be burned in a waste incineration plant, are the bucket 18 , the first lid 19 , the barrel 4 and the second lid 5 made of combustible plastics. Likewise, the liquid-absorbing material 6 made of a combustible material. The clamping ring 9 can be made of metal in conventional lidded drums, this small amount of metal is no problem for the combustion in a waste incineration plant. The clamping ring 9 However, it can also be made of other materials. Because the outer packaging 12 a folding box 20 is, this is flammable anyway.
