ADR mixed packing provision MP12

As MP11 (5 kg per inner, no Class 5.1 PG I/II partners), with packages capped at 45 kg, or 27 kg in fibreboard boxes.

MP12 allows mixed packing in a 6.1.4.21 combination packaging when each inner packaging holds no more than 5 kg. Partners may be same-class goods of another classification code or goods of other classes whose entry also permits mixing, excluding Class 5.1 packing group I or II, or goods outside ADR, provided nothing reacts dangerously. A package may weigh at most 45 kg, falling to 27 kg when the outer packaging is a fibreboard box.
