B. TEKST

Overeenkomstig artikel 18, eerste lid, van de Overeenkomst heeft de Werkgroep voor het vervoer van aan bederf onderhevige levensmiddelen op 29 oktober 2021 wijzigingen van enkele bepalingen van Bijlage 1 bij de Overeenkomst voorgesteld. Deze wijzigingen zijn ingevolge artikel 18, vijfde lid, aanvaard op 22 december 2023. De Engelse1) tekst van deze wijzigingen luidt als volgt:


1. Annex 1, Appendix 2, section 1.2

Amend the third paragraph to read:

“For calculating the mean surface area of the body of a panel van, the test station appointed by the competent authority shall select from one of the following three methods A-C. For calculating the mean surface area of the body of a tank, the test station appointed by the competent authority may use method A or D.”

2. Annex 1, Appendix 2, section 1.2

Amend the last three paragraphs (Method C) to read:

“Method C. If methods A or B are not acceptable to the experts, the internal surface of the panel van shall be measured according to the figures and formulae in method B.

The initial K value shall then be calculated based on the internal surface area, taking the insulation thickness as nil to start the iteration process. From this K value, the average insulation thickness is calculated from the assumption that λ for the insulation has a value of 0,025 W/m °C

Once the thickness of the insulation has been estimated, the external surface area is calculated and the mean surface area is determined. The final K value is derived from successive iterations.”

3. Annex 1, Appendix 2, section 1.2, Method C

Add new last paragraph to read as follows:

“A different value of λ may be used in this method if the actual value of λ can be estimated by physical measurements of the properties of the main thermal insulator of the wall, or by statistical data of other ATP units of similar features. The value of λ and the statistical data used, if applicable, shall be indicated in or annexed to the test report Model No. 1 A.”

4. Annex 1, Appendix 2, section 1.2

After the last paragraph, add the following text:

“Method D. If method A is not acceptable to the experts, the external surface of the tank shall be measured, taking into account the geometrical shape of the tank and the main values needed to model this shape (e.g. diameter, radius, length of cylinder, etc.). This method can only be used if the tank can be assimilated to regular geometrical forms (cylinder, cone, sphere) that can be described by mathematical equations.

The initial K value shall then be calculated based on the external surface area, taking the insulation thickness as nil to start the iteration process. From this K value, the average insulation thickness is calculated from the assumption that λ for the insulation has a value of 0,035 W/m °C

Once the thickness of the insulation has been estimated, the internal surface area is calculated taking into consideration the geometrical shape of the tank, and the mean surface area is determined. The final K value is derived from successive iterations.

A different value of λ may be used in this method if the actual value of λ can be estimated by physical measurements of the properties of the main thermal insulator of the wall, or by statistical data of other ATP units of similar features. The value of λ and the statistical data used, if applicable, shall be indicated in or annexed to the test report Model No. 1 B.”

5. Annex 1, Appendix 2, section 4.5.2

  • a) a test report or addendum confirming equivalence to a similar mechanically refrigerated unit with the drop-in refrigerant fluid is available in accordance with annex 1, appendix 2, section 4.5 of the ATP Agreement; and

  • b) an efficiency test according to 6.2.1 or 6.2.2 has been successfully carried out.

In the event that the request is accepted, the manufacturer’s plate must be corrected accordingly.
