Rank: Guest		Posted By halesowen Baggie I have just come back from doing a delivery point RA. A contract company employs a driver to bring 2500 ltrs of Kerosene in 25lt containers to the site. How would ADR regs effect this, the driver seemed to think the load would not be covered by ADR? Can anybody shed some light on this for me?

Rank: Guest		Posted By ciara brennan Hi If his total is greater than 1000l (which it is) then his load is in scope and therefore under adr, he will need to have an adr licence (class 3 in packages) his vehicle will need to display plates and placards and he will need the appropriate documentation hope this helps you

Rank: Guest		Posted By Simon Shaw I agree, it is also not exempt from parts of the regulations due to being 'limited quantities' because the containers are too large.

Rank: Guest		Posted By halesowen Baggie Can somebody confirm that if a driver is transporting more than 100lts of kerosene, each drum cannot be above 5ltr capacity if carried in containers. I am looking through ADR and in column 7 the code is given as LQ7. Mind blowing stuff this ADR business, how much stuff to take in.

Rank: Guest		Posted By ciara brennan can i just say that limited quantities is where you use an inferior packaging to transport the goods, the rest of the regulations APPLY if you use limited quantities.
