Italy has initiated a multilateral special agreement under RID, 13/2011, concerning the carriage of UN 1081 tetrafluoroethylene, stabilised, in battery wagons and multiple-element gas containers (MEGCs). The agreement will provide a derogation from the full provisions of the regulations when PxBN(M) tanks are used, providing that some special provisions are applied. The agreement has already been counter-signed by France, allowing it to be used in those countries.
