    4. What types of "packaging" or "large packaging" are approved?

    The different types of approved "packaging" or "large packaging" are identified by a code. This code is made up of a number indicating the type of "packaging", according to the following nomenclature:

    • "1": barrel ;

    • "3": can (or jerry can);

    • "4": cash desk ;

    • "5": bag;

    • "6": composite packaging.

    Composite" packaging consists of an inner container made of plastic, glass, porcelain or stoneware and an outer packaging made of another material.
