Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard applies to the packaging and transport of dangerous goods in excepted quantities. It is relevant for manufacturers and logistics companies handling hazardous materials that qualify for reduced regulatory burdens under specific quantity limits. It does not apply to dangerous goods not listed in the excepted quantities table.
Technical requirements
The standard defines excepted quantity codes (E1 to E5) which specify the maximum net quantity per inner and outer packaging for solids, liquids, and gases. It mandates a triple packaging system consisting of inner packagings, intermediate packagings with sufficient absorbent material, and rigid outer packagings. Packagings must be constructed to withstand normal transport conditions without leakage or reaction with the contents. Specific marking requirements dictate that packages must display the primary hazard class or division and shipper/consignee details if not shown elsewhere.
Testing methods
Drop Test: Packages must withstand a drop from 1.8 meters onto a hard, unyielding surface without rupture or leakage. Stacking Test: Packages must endure a pressure equivalent to a 3-meter stack height for 24 hours. Testing ensures the integrity of the complete package, including inner receptacles filled to 95-98% capacity.
