ADR packages provision V2

Class 1 packages may only travel on EX/II or EX/III vehicles meeting Part 9; the quantity carried decides which type is needed (7.5.5.2).

Explosive packages must be loaded only on EX/II or EX/III vehicles built to the Part 9 requirements. Which type is required follows from the quantity per transport unit allowed by the loading limits in 7.5.5.2. A transport unit combining an EX/II and an EX/III vehicle, both carrying explosives, is held to the EX/II quantity limit of 7.5.5.2.1 for the whole unit. Trailers (but not semi-trailers) that meet EX/II or EX/III requirements may be hauled by a motor vehicle that does not. For containers, 7.1.3 to 7.1.6 also apply. On the road leg of a multimodal journey to or from a port, rail terminal or airport, EX/II vehicles may replace the EX/III vehicles the quantity would otherwise require, if the containers meet the IMDG Code, RID or ICAO Technical Instructions.

Conditions

• (1) Only EX/II or EX/III vehicles meeting Part 9 may be used; the choice depends on the quantity limit per transport unit in 7.5.5.2.
• (1) A mixed EX/II plus EX/III transport unit carrying explosives in both vehicles takes the EX/II limit of 7.5.5.2.1 for the whole unit.
• (2) A trailer other than a semi-trailer meeting EX/II or EX/III requirements may be pulled by a motor vehicle that does not meet them.
• (2) For containers, 7.1.3 to 7.1.6 are relevant too.
• (2) Containers on a multimodal leg to or from harbour areas, rail terminals or airports may go on EX/II vehicles where EX/III would otherwise be needed, if the containers comply with the IMDG Code, RID or ICAO Technical Instructions.

Refers to: Part 9; 7.5.5.2; 7.5.5.2.1; 7.1.3; 7.1.4; 7.1.5; 7.1.6.
