Mixed loading prohibition

Packages bearing different danger labels shall not be loaded together in the same vehicle or container
unless mixed loading is permitted according to the following Table based on the danger labels they
bear.
NOTE 1: In accordance with 5.4.1.4.2, separate transport documents shall be drawn up for
consignments that cannot be loaded together in the same vehicle or container.
NOTE 2: For packages containing substances or articles only of Class 1 and bearing a label
conforming to models Nos. 1, 1.4, 1.5 or 1.6, irrespective of any other danger labels required for
these packages, mixed loading shall be permitted in accordance with 7.5.2.2. The Table in 7.5.2.1
shall only apply when such packages are loaded together with packages containing substances or
articles of other classes.
 

Packages containing substances or articles of Class 1, bearing a label conforming to models Nos. 1,
1.4, 1.5 or 1.6 which are assigned to different compatibility groups shall not be loaded together in the
same vehicle or container, unless mixed loading is permitted in accordance with the following Table
for the corresponding compatibility groups.
 

For the purpose of the application of the prohibitions of mixed loading on one vehicle, no account
shall be taken of substances contained in closed containers with complete sides. Nevertheless, the
mixed loading prohibitions laid down in 7.5.2.1 concerning mixed loading of packages bearing labels
conforming to models Nos. 1, 1.4, 1.5 or 1.6 with other packages, and in 7.5.2.2 concerning mixed
loading of explosives of different compatibility groups shall also apply between dangerous goods
contained in a container and the other dangerous goods loaded on the same vehicle, whether or not the
latter goods are enclosed in one or more other containers.

Mixed loading of dangerous goods packed in limited quantities with any type of explosive substances
and articles, except those of Division 1.4 and UN Nos. 0161 and 0499, is prohibited.

Precautions with respect to foodstuffs, other articles of consumption and animal feeds

 
If special provision CV28 is indicated  for a substance or article in Column (18) of Table A of   
Chapter 3.2, precautions with respect to foodstuffs, other articles of consumption and animal feeds 
shall be taken as follows.
 
Packages as well as uncleaned empty packagings, including large packagings and intermediate bulk 
containers (IBCs), bearing labels conforming to models Nos. 6.1 or 6.2 and those bearing labels 
conforming to model No. 9 containing goods of UN Nos. 2212, 2315, 2590, 3151, 3152 or 3245, shall 
not be stacked on or loaded in immediate proximity to packages known to contain foodstuffs, other 
articles of consumption or animal feeds in vehicles, in containers and at places of loading, 
unloading or transhipment.
 
When these packages, bearing the said labels, are loaded in immediate proximity of packages known 
to contain foodstuffs, other articles of consumption or animal feeds, they shall be kept apart from 
the latter:
 
(a)      By complete partitions which should be as high as the packages bearing the said labels;
 
(b)  By packages not bearing labels conforming to models Nos. 6.1, 6.2 or 9 or packages bearing  
labels conforming to model No.9 but not containing goods of UN Nos. 2212, 2315, 2590,  3151, 3152 
or 3245; or
 
(c)       By a space of at least 0.8 m;
 
unless  the  packages  bearing  the  said  labels  are  provided  with  an  additional  packaging  
or  are  d (e.g. by a sheeting, a fibreboard cover or other measures).
 

Limitation of the quantities carried

If the provisions below, or the additional provisions of 7.5.11 to be applied according to Column (18)
of Table A of Chapter 3.2 require a limitation of the quantity of specific goods that can be carried, the
fact that dangerous goods are contained in one or more containers shall not affect the mass limitations
per transport unit laid down by these provisions.

Limitations with respect to explosive substances and articles

Substances and quantities carried

The total net mass in kg of explosive substance (or in the case of explosive articles, the total net mass
of explosive substance contained in all the articles combined) which may be carried on one transport
unit shall be limited as indicated in the table below (see also 7.5.2.2 as regards the prohibition of
mixed loading):

Where substances and articles of different divisions of Class 1 are loaded on one transport unit in
conformity with the prohibitions of mixed loading contained in 7.5.2.2, the load as a whole shall be
treated as if it belonged to the most dangerous division (in the order 1.1, 1.5, 1.2, 1.3, 1.6, 1.4).
However, the net mass of explosives of compatibility group S shall not count towards the limitation of
quantities carried.
Where substances classified as 1.5D are carried on one transport unit together with substances or
articles of division 1.2, the entire load shall be treated for carriage as if it belonged to division 1.1.

Carriage of explosives on MEMUs

Carriage of explosives on MEMUs is only permitted subject to the following conditions:
(a) The competent authority shall authorize the transport operation within its territory;
(b) The type and quantity of packaged explosives carried shall be limited to those necessary for the
quantity of material to be manufactured on the MEMU, and in any case shall not exceed:
- 200 kg of explosives of compatibility group D; and
- a total of 400 units of detonators or detonator assemblies, or a mixture of both,
unless otherwise approved by the competent authority;
(c) Packaged explosives shall only be carried in compartments that meet the requirements of
6.12.5;
(d) No other dangerous goods may be carried in the same compartment as the packaged
explosives;
(e) Packaged explosives shall only be loaded onto the MEMU once the loading of other dangerous
goods has been completed and immediately prior to carriage;
(f) When mixed loading is permitted between explosives and substances of Class 5.1 (UN 1942
and UN 3375) the aggregate is treated as blasting explosives under Class 1 for the purposes of
segregation, stowage and maximum permissible load.

The maximum quantity of organic peroxides of Class 5.2 and self-reactive substances of Class 4.1 of
Types B, C, D, E or F and of polymerizing substances of Class 4.1 is limited to 20 000 kg per
transport unit.
