1-968 DfT Research on performance test procedures for petroleum road fuel tankers; Part B, physical testing and associated modelling

The Department for Transport Dangerous Goods Division (DGD) intends to let a contract for the provision of research into the development of performance-based safety standards for petroleum road fuel tankers, using a combination of physical impact testing and validated, computer-based modelling/simulation software. It is anticipated that the outputs from this research will underpin UK proposals for test procedures to be included in the relevant standards and/or regulations. DGD leads on the policy for the safe and s...
