Consignor duties

Selection of packagings and labelling - UN specification packaging must be used for dangerous goods which are to be transported but there is an exemption for limited quantity receptacles in combination packages. Marking and labelling of packages is required for packages containing receptacles above this threshold capacity above which the packages must be marked with the UN Number plus the class (primary) danger sign and subsidiary hazard sign if applicable; the signs are 100mm diamond shaped labels conforming to the designs given in the regulations.

Documentation – the consignor must supply a transport document to the operator giving the following information:

  • UN number
  • Proper Shipping Name (PSN)
  • Hazard Class
  • Packing Group
  • Control temperature and emergency temperature, where appropriate
  • The mass/volume of each package and number of packages or in the case of tank/bulk movements, the net mass/volume
