CHAPTER 3.2<br />

DANGEROUS GOODS LIST<br />

3.2.1 Structure of the dangerous goods list<br />

The Dangerous Goods List is divided into 11 columns as follows:<br />

Column 1 “UN No.” - this column contains the serial number assigned to the article or substance under<br />

the United Nations system.<br />

Column 2 “Name and description” - this column contains the proper shipping names in uppercase<br />

characters, which may be followed by additional descriptive text presented in lowercase<br />

characters (see 3.1.2). An explanation of some of the terms used appears in Appendix B.<br />

Proper shipping names may be shown in the plural where isomers of similar classification<br />

exist. Hydrates may be included under the proper shipping name for the anhydrous<br />

substance, as appropriate.<br />

Unless otherwise indicated for an entry in the dangerous goods list, the word “solution” in a<br />

proper shipping name means one or more named dangerous goods dissolved in a liquid that<br />

is not otherwise subject to these Regulations.<br />

Column 3 “Class or division” - this column contains the class or division and in the case of Class 1, the<br />

compatibility group assigned to the article or substance according to the classification system<br />

described in Chapter 2.1.<br />

Column 4 “Subsidiary risk” - this column contains the class or division number of any important<br />

subsidiary risks which have been identified by applying the classification system described<br />

in Part 2.<br />

Column 5 “UN packing group” - this column contains the UN packing group number (i.e. I, II or III)<br />

assigned to the article or substance. If more than one packing group is indicated for the entry,<br />

the packing group of the substance or formulation to be transported shall be determined,<br />

based on its properties, through application of the hazard grouping criteria as provided in<br />

Part 2.<br />

Column 6 “Special provisions” - this column contains a number referring to any special provision(s)<br />

indicated in 3.3.1 that are relevant to the article or substance. Special provisions apply to all<br />

the packing groups permitted for a particular substance or article unless the wording makes it<br />

otherwise apparent.<br />

Column 7a “Limited Quantities” - this column provides the maximum quantity per inner packaging or<br />

article for transporting dangerous goods as limited quantities in accordance with Chapter 3.4.<br />

Column 7b “Excepted Quantities” - this column provides an alpha numeric code described in subsection<br />

3.5.1.2 which indicates the maximum quantity per inner and outer packaging for<br />

transporting dangerous goods as excepted quantities in accordance with Chapter 3.5.<br />

Column 8 “Packing instruction” - This column contains alpha numeric codes which refer to the relevant<br />

packing instructions specified in section 4.1.4. The packing instructions indicate the<br />

packaging (including IBCs and large packagings), which may be used for the transport of<br />

substances and articles.<br />

A code including the letter “P” refers to packing instructions for the use of packagings<br />

described in Chapters 6.1, 6.2 or 6.3.<br />
