requirements for packing, mixed packing, marking, labelling of packages or placarding and orange
plate marking, of ADR, but are in conformity with the requirements of the IMDG Code or the ICAO
Technical Instructions shall be accepted for carriage in a transport chain including maritime or air
carriage subject to the following conditions:
(a) If the packages are not marked and labelled in accordance with ADR, they shall bear marks
and danger labels in accordance with the requirements of the IMDG Code or the ICAO
Technical Instructions;
(b) The requirements of the IMDG Code or the ICAO Technical Instructions shall be applicable to
