Just moving on from a thread on cx re ADR Exemptions.
Is it true that a load under 333KG is ADR exempt?
This is what it seems to say on BusinessLink and HSE websites.
Needs verifying from someone in the know

10314It looks like 30 kgs
5. Dangerous goods are assigned an LQ “maximum receptacle size” category (Column 7a of Table A in ADR). For some substances this figure is 0, and in these cases there is no LQ exemption.
6. 3.4.2 and 3.4.3 specify the maximum gross mass of the package into which the inner receptacle is placed. This is 30kg except for shrink wrapped trays where the limit is 20 kg)
7. For limited quantity exemptions, the general requirements for packaging (to be of good quality and suitable etc) apply, but the packaging does not have to be "UN approved.3.4.4 has a particular requirement for certain Class 8 (corrosive) goods. There are particular LQ marking requirements (see ADR 3.4.7 and 3.4.8. Subject to those conditions, ADR does not apply to "limited quantities".
yes this a real minefield!!
it would appear that if it's less than 50ml/g and is packaged to aviation standards 602
then it would be exempt.
who knows?
On behalf of limited capacity exceptions, all of the common requirements for packaging must be high-quality and best standard dangerous goods.
