" BR" plate

Any ideas what the “BR” plate is for?

Sorry Jim, I’ve no idea what the “BR” is about, but I can tell you that he’s carrying a flammable gas.

bloody run maybe ?

I don’t think it’s anything legal, more likely an internal company marking, such as stating that the trailer is based at the Breda depot for example.

Given the orange hero light I wonder if it is an airport thing? - allowed airside etc?

:laughing: :laughing:

Reminds me of something my ADR instructor said when asked how to deal with an incident involving a certain chemical.
Basically is was "grab your TREM cards and throw them at the Firemen as you are running like [zb] past them. "

Maybe it’s an abbreviation for very cold, BRrrrrrr

british rail?

An area in Romania use this on nu
mber plates .i think.

Two possibles:

Brăila, a town and county in Romania. BR is used in the county’s license plates

BR, the symbol used by Petrobras Distribuidora, the fuel retail division of Petrobras

I have suggested on the other place it may be Brandstoff although why they are using it on the tanker is unusual.

Maybe it simply distinguishes the commodity as Autogas rather than industrial gas

HYDROCARBON GAS MIXTURE, LIQUEFIED, N.O.S. (Propane, butane) :grimacing:

Hi B1 GGK,

That’s spot-on mate, but…

In the UK, we ship propane as UN 1978, whereas butane is UN 1011.

If propane and butane are mixed, they become UN 1965 with the PSN that you gave in capitals, which is commonly also known as ‘aerosol propellant gas,’

However… those foreign chappies also tend to use UN 1965 for propane, because propane (as normally carried) isn’t a pure gas. Technically, those foreign chappies are actually correct. :wink:

I’d left out all that technical stuff about the use of UN numbers and PSNs to avoid taking the thread away from the original question about the “BR” on the plate. :wink:

:bulb: Perhaps Frans knows the answer to this, cos I reckon it’s probably a Dutch thing, rather than an ADR thing.

Here’s the UK version of UN 1965 in a tanker:

I have emailed Schenk to ask them, whether they will reply is another thing.
