A client carries petrol in their vans for refuelling grounds maintancece equipment they also carry in the van. Question, is a fire extinguisher required under either CDG or ADR; reading the regulations, my opinion is no, because of exemptions in ADR and quantities in CDG, unless I am interpretingthe regs wrongly.

I am basing the exemption from ADR to para 1.1.3.1(c)

The carriage undertaken by enterprises which is ancillary to their main activity, such as

deliveries to or returns from building or civil engineering sites, or in relation to surveying,

repairs and maintenance, in quantities of not more than 450 litres per packaging, including

intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) and large packagings, and within the maximum quantities

specified in 1.1.3.6.

This topic has been discussed before on the forum but the search function is being very picky.

Basically if you are over the LQ 1 Litre exemption you then move in to carrying a 2Kg powder extingusiher

I am basing it on the following exemption

Carriage that is "ancillary" to main activity. e.g A driver taking dangerous goods with him for use with some machine or process that will be operated on arrival will be exempt.

The exemption with a caveat "A journey taking dangerous goods to "re-supply" the above example will not be covered by this exemption (but other exemptions may apply)."
