· Packaging for the transport of Dangerous Goods

Are your dangerous goods in the correct type of packaging for transportation, if you are unsure then why not contact me and be safe.

UN regulations recognise several types of packaging that can be used for the transport of dangerous goods:

· Packages up to 400 kg or 450 l: e.g. jerry-cans, drums, boxes, bags, etc.

· Composite packages, inner and outer package fitting together: e.g. bag-in-box, etc.

· IBC's up to 3m³: e.g. FIBC, full plastic, composite steel outer cage with plastic inner receptacle, etc.

· Large packaging : from 400 kg or 450 l up to 3m³ (comparable to the smaller combination packaging, outer with inner packaging not UN approved) : e.g. pallet-box

Small quantities of products may be packed in small non UN approved inner-packages in combination with an outer package, e.g. carton. This in accordance with the rule of limited quantities.

• Labels and Vehicle Markings and Mixed Loads
All consignments are required to be clearly labelled along with the vehicle transporting them for the safety of other road users. Are you moving more than one type of substance on a vehicle, then you could be breaking the law.
