When transporting under exceptional quantities, the following ADR requirements must be met:
  • Employees, such as drivers, must be instructed in accordance with their competence in ADR 1.3. (the instruction must be recorded in the instruction log or protocol and appropriate instructions must be available in the company);
  • Packaging (cans, drums, intermediate bulk containers (IBC)) with the appropriate UN marking must be used (plastic packaging has a shelf life of no more than five years from the date of manufacture and IBC containers must be periodically inspected every 2.5 years). Example of UN marking for an IBC container:  and31HA1/Y/0814/…………;

    • Substances UN No. UN 1202
    • with a third-model hazard sign and an environmentally hazardous substance sign (dimensions 100×100 mm). In the case of IBCs, on two opposite sides (so that these marks do not obscure other important information).
