GRSG | Session 106 | 5-9 May 2014

32. Recalling the discussion at the previous session of GRSG, the expert from the Netherlands presented GRSG-106-07 proposing new provisions on a directional discharge of the pressure relief devices of GNG containers. GRSG noted a number of comments on the possible location of the containers on the vehicle and questioned the need to also address vehicles with LNG or even hydrogen containers. Following the discussion, GRSG agreed to resume consideration at its next session in October 2014, on the basis of a revised proposal to be submitted by the expert from the Netherlands.
