(DG in Excepted Quantities and LTD QTY in one overpack)
Q.
Is the shipper permitted to overpack a package under DGR 2.7 (dangerous goods in excepted quantities) and a package under DGR 2.8 (dangerous goods in limited quantities)? (6 Mar 04)
A.
Yes, as long as the dangerous goods in each completed package do not react dangerously against each other and do not require segregation according to Table 9.3.A, the shipper May overpack a completed excepted package shipment and a completed limited quantity package shipment in one overpack. If the individual packages inside the overpack are visible from the outside and are accessible, there is no problem, however, when these packages are overpacked into a sealed overpack, the shipper is obligated to show some complicated Mar ings on the outside surface of the overpack. First, he must reproduce the Excepted Package Label (DGR Figure 2.7.B) on the outside of the overpack. Secondly, the shipper must show details of the LTD QTY packaging, the UN number, PSN, name/address of shipper/consignee, all applicable hazard labels and handling labels, and the letters LTD QTY.
