Handling and transport of dry ice

 
1.0 Introduction
 

Dry ice is carbon dioxide (CO2) or carbonic acid in solid form. Dry ice sublimates, i.e. changes from solid to gas form.  Dry ice is not a ADR-classified hazardous material.

1.1 Danger potential of dry ice
1.1.1 Danger of suffocation: 1 kg dry ice results in approx. 0.5 cubic meters of gaseous carbon dioxide. The gas is one and a half times heavier than air and is always concentrated to the ground. 
 
SAFE / UNSAFE
1.1.2 Skin frostbite: always wear insulating protective gloves when handling dry ice.  
 

 

Do not touch dry ice with bare hands / Only handle dry ice with protective gloves

1.1.3 Do not play with dry ice! Do not put dry ice into the mouth! Dry ice is not ice-cream. It may not be sucked or added directly to beverages for cooling!
 

 

Dry ice is not a toy / Keep dry ice away from children

1.1.4 Do not store dry ice in gastight containers . Dry ice changes into gaseous state and the pressure that develops may cause the container to burst.
 

Do not store dry ice in gastight containers / Only store dry ice in special dry ice containers

2.0 Transport/securing advice
2.1 Securing
2.1.1 Do not pack goods together that may react dangerously with one another.
2.1.2 The dry ice is to be secured in such a way that its position cannot change during transport. This means it has to be secured with strapping equipment, nets etc. The driver of the respective vehicle is responsible for the transport and security of the dry ice .
 
2.1.3 The dry ice should not be transported in the passenger compartment. If transporting the dry ice should be only possible in the passenger compartment, the stowage must be carried out as far away as possible from the driver.
 

Do not transport dry ice in the driver cab or passenger compartment / Only transport dry ice in gastight seperate storage space or boot

2.1.4 During dry ice transport a sufficient ventilation of the vehicle must be ensured, regardless of whether the product is within the passenger compartment or in the boot. During longer journeys it it is STRONGLY recommended to drive with the window open.
 

 

Do not store the dry ice in a cellar or poorly ventilated spaces / Only store dry ice in spaces with sufficient floor ventilation
