Q.
Please guide us how to make an OVERPACK DGD containing Dry Ice. The total quantity per overpack must be shown but how do I show 48L of Resin and 5kg of Dry Ice.

A.
In the Note of DGR 7.1.4.2 it says: ?gWhere an overpack contains more than one UN number, the total quantity of dangerous goods should be shown by UN number.?h Figure 8.1.N on Page 609 is an actual example where it shows: ?gTotal quantity per overpack, 40 kg, 120 L?h.

OVERPACK USED

Even if the two dangerous goods are both shown in kg or in litres, if the UN numbers are different, you must not add the quantities together. You must show the quantities by each UN number, thus, ?gTotal quantity per overpack. 40L, 5L.?h or ?gTotal quantity per overpack, 5kg, 15kg.?h
