4.1.2 With the
exception of water reactivity, reactivity with the environment is
not covered within the ADN. Selfreactivity is also excluded since
in that case the cargoes concerned will be required to be inerted,
inhibited or stabilized as indicated in Table C of the ADN. Interreactivity
of cargoes or groups of cargoes has not been indicated in Table C
of the ADN, the principal preventative arrangements being operational.
4.1.4 Whilst
many chlorinated hydrocarbon cargoes are not appreciably corrosive
to such materials as mild steel, copper and its alloys and to aluminium
when they are essentially dry, certain types of those cargoes may
slowly generate traces of highly corrosive hydrochloric acid when
in contact with water or moist air. Operational arrangements should,
therefore, be such as to minimize the probability of contamination
of chlorinated hydrocarbon cargoes with water and moisture.
4.1.5 Arrangements
for preserving the quality of the cargo are the responsibility of
the Owners.
