(A question on how to make a Declaration of an adhesive consisting of two different dangerous goods.)
Q.
This special adhesive consists of two dangerous liquids, namely UN2914 Flammable liquid, corrosive, n.o.s.★ Class 3 (8) PG II and UN1866 Resin solution Class 3 PG II. Each liquid is contained in an individual plastic ampoule physically independent. When using, the two liquids are mixed and form an adhesive. The net quantity contained in each ampole is 0.025L, and the two liquids make one unit. 10 units are to be shipped in a Limited Quantity fibreboard box. Please guide us how to make the Declaration.  (31 Jul 19)
A.
I understand that this adhesive consists of two dangerous liquids, UN2924 Flammable liquid, corrosive, n.o.s.★ Class 3 (8) PG II 0.025L PI Y340 MAX 0.5L, and UN1866 Resin solution Class 3 PG II 0.025L PI Y341 MAX 1.0L. The two liquids are contained in individual plastic ampoules physically independent. The quantity of the liquids are both 0.025L each. When using, the two liquids are mixed and form an adhesive. The two ampoules consist a unit. You are goig to ship 10 units in a Limited Quantity fibreboard box (thus the total quantity of each liquid will be 0.25L). The declaration should be made as follows. The ampoules are considered as inner package.

UN2924 PSN // 3 (8) // PG II // 0.25L // PI Y340
UN1866 PSN // 3 // PG II // 0.25L // PI Y341
All packed in one fibreboard box
Q = 0.8

Viewing the case from a different angle, if the two plastic ampoules are installed in some sort of an apparatus, and the two ampoules are mechanically opened and the two liquids are mixed to form an adhesive, we may be able to classify this apparatus as UN3363 Dangerous Goods in Apparatus. We follow Packing Instruction 962 where the use of UN specification packagings are not required. The maximum net quantity of dangerous goods in liquid form permitted in a PI962 package is 0.5L and per SP A48, there is no need to test the packages. It is possible to ship the units with less red tape and at a less cost.
