Excepted Quantities – Segregation

There is no segregation requirement between dangerous goods packed in Excepted Quantities with other dangerous goods however if we pack two dangerous goods in excepted quantities in same packaging then we must ensure that these goods will not react dangerously with each other and cause:

  1. combustion and/or evolution of considerable heat;
  2. evolution of flammable, toxic or asphyxiant gases;
  3. the formation of corrosive substances; or
  4. the formation of unstable substances.
