7. Rigid containers
7.1 Classification of structural repairs
Only minor repairs to glass reinforced plastic (GRP) containers are
permitted. These are listed below. When damage is more than these limits,
send the container to an approved glass fiber repair depot for major repair.
No repair is permitted to Valise or ABS containers.
7.2 Repair limits
7.2.1 The limits of minor repairs are:
(a) Damage to the gelcoat only, which does not penetrate the glass
fiber mat.
(b) Damage to the painted surface.
7.2.2 The limits of major repairs are:
(a) Apertures or penetrating damage (i.e. through the glass fiber
mat) over an area of less than 77 square centimeters (12 sq.in)
on the outer surface of the container.
(b) Apertures or penetrating damage over an area of less than
58 square centimeters (9 sq.in) on the inner surface of the
container.
(c) Breakage/cracks of the rims on either half of the container shell.
NOTE:
The limits above, apply to the TOTAL area of damage,
so that if, for example, repair is required at both ends
of the container, then the permissible areas of repair
for each end must not TOGETHER total more than the
prescribed limits.
