What are Limited Quantities?

ADR Chapter 3.4 allows dangerous goods to be transported with reduced requirements when packaged in small quantities. Each UN number has a maximum quantity per inner packaging (Column 7a of Table A). If the quantity per inner packaging is within the limit, the goods qualify for Limited Quantity status — meaning simplified labelling, no Tremcard required, and reduced driver training requirements.

What are Excepted Quantities?

ADR Chapter 3.5 provides even more relaxed requirements for very small quantities. Each substance has an EQ code (E1–E5) that defines maximum quantities per inner and outer packaging. E0 means excepted quantities are not permitted. EQ transport is exempt from most ADR requirements except basic packaging and labelling rules.
