Hi, Any ADR regs experts out there? My company may have a requirement to transport and store quantities of Iodine on behalf of a client, so just doing some very early research in things we may need to do. No idea on quantities as of yet. If the ADR regs are applicable I know there are lots of exemptions, if anyone knows off the top of their head where iodine would fit in with this please let me know :) Also are there any other regs (not including the typical safety stuff such as the HSAWA, management regs etc) I need to consider regarding this? Plus..in regards to drivers transporting dangerous goods is an ADR license a legal requirement? Thnaks

Are we to assume that you mean the element iodine(CAS Number 7553-56-2) and not one of its compounds? This has a Signal Word-Danger GHS hazard statements H312, H332, H315, H319, H335, H372, H400 GHS precautionary statements P261, P273, P280, P305, P351, P338, P314 You need to look it up in the appropriate set of Dangerous Goods Rules (for air, road, or sea transport) to find out about packaging and transport requirements. They will also tell you of whatever exemptions apply for what quantities. COSHH of relies on your risk assessment. The risk assessment applies to the process that you are carrying out with the substances in question. If all you are doing is transporting it, it should be fairly straight forward assuming that it is correctly packaged. The main thing you need to look at is emergency procedures: what to do if containers are damaged and it escapes. What do you expect your guys to do; this depends on how much is transported in what size packages. You would handle 1 tonne in single container differently from a tonne split up into 200 x 5 kg packs.

Thanks very much, one further quick question, what do we mean by the term limited quantity?

Limited Quantity is the largest pack size that can be used without using the full UN transport labels Some SDS include all transport information - Transport labels, UN Proper shipping name, tunnel codes etc. and mention the LQ value.
Some suppliers will derive variant SDS relative to the pack size being produced/shipped so a bulk tanker or drum SDS will look different to the 5L bottle of laboratory reagent in Section 14
