APPENDIX 2—ALPHABETICAL LIST OF DANGEROUS GOODS* 

NOTES: 

(1) Column 1 contains the UN number for the goods, being in general dangerous goods of classes 2 to 

9 inclusive specified in column 2 of this Appendix. However, where the entry is a cross reference, 

there may be a single U.N. number, two U.N. numbers, - one above the other - or a dash. These 

entries imply respectively there is only one relevant cross reference, there are two relevant cross 

references or there are three or more relevant cross references. Occasionally a dash appears 

against an uppercase non-bold italicized entry - this generally implies that the entry is a goods too 

dangerous to be transported. 

(2) Goods are named in column 2. The name used to identify dangerous goods is the Proper Shipping 

Name for the goods and is printed in upper case non-bold and non-italicized. The name of a goods 

printed in upper case non-bold and non-italicized followed by “see” in lower case indicates an 

alternative Proper Shipping Name or part of a Proper Shipping Name. Save for entries such as 

UN 2372, 2501, 2660, 2857, 3055, 3153, 3154, 3219 and a number of Class 7 entries, matter 

contained in parentheses (round) in upper case, non-bold and non-italicized may be used as an 

alternative, albeit non-preferred, Proper Shipping Name e.g. UN 1155 DIETHYL ETHER (ETHYL 

ETHER). In some instances, criteria are set out in lower case after the upper case matter in 

column 2. These are criteria for determining whether the goods named in the column are 

dangerous goods, or for determining the Class, Subsidiary Risk or Packing Group for the goods. 

The information in columns 1 and 3-9 relates only to goods named in column 2 that satisfy those 

additional criteria. There is a number of entries in lower case, which are cross references to the 

Proper Shipping Name. There is also a small number of entries in upper case non-bold italicized 

where the entry is in general a goods too dangerous to be transported. In addition, there is a small 

number of entries in upper case bold italicized which are acronyms. Refer to Note 10 of this 

Appendix as to how the alphabetical order in column 2 has been determined. 

(3) Column 3 specifies the Class assigned to the dangerous goods dealt with in a specific entry in 

column 2. For generic and N.O.S. entries, it sets out the class to which the goods belong. For 

further information on how Class is determined for generic and N.O.S. entries refer to the applicable 

Special Provision set out in column 7, Regulation 2.3, and Code Divisions 2.2 and 2.3. 

(4) Column 4 specifies the Subsidiary Risk, if any, assigned to dangerous goods dealt with in a specific 

entry in column 2. For generic and N.O.S. entries, it sets out the Subsidiary Risk displayed by most 

of these goods. For information on how Subsidiary Risk is determined for generic and N.O.S. 

entries refer to the applicable Special Provision set out in column 7 and Regulation 2.4. 

(5) Column 5 specifies the Packing Group or Groups, if any, assigned to dangerous goods dealt with in 

a specific entry in column 2. For generic and N.O.S. entries, it gives guidance on the Packing 

Group that would be applicable to most of these goods. For information on how Packing Group is 

determined, particularly in instances where more than one Packing Group is specified in column 5, 

see Regulation 2.5. 

(6) Column 6 specifies the Hazchem Code, if any, assigned to dangerous goods dealt with in a specific 

entry in column 2. For generic and N.O.S. entries, it gives guidance on the Hazchem Code that 

would be applicable to most of these goods. More information relating to Hazchem Codes is set out 

in Appendix 4. 

(7) Column 7 specifies, by number, the Special Provision or Provisions, if any, applicable to dangerous 

goods specified in column 2. The Special Provisions themselves are set out by number in Appendix 3. 

(8) Column 8 identifies the clause in this Code which deals with the way in which dangerous goods 

specified in column 2 are to be packaged. In some instances it also contains an entry beginning 

with the letters “RT” followed by a number. This entry is only relevant when the goods are 

transported in bulk, in a tank which is part of the vehicle’s construction. The Road Regulations 

provide for the approval of tanks which form part of or are attached to a road vehicle for the 

transport of dangerous goods with the characteristic properties specified in the approval. For more 

information on construction standards for tanks, see Table 4.1 in this Code. 

* Dangerous Goods of Class 1 are not included in the list. Please refer to the Australian Explosives Code.

2 


(9) Column 9 in some instances, provides criteria for when a substance or article is a dangerous goods 

and also, in some instances, allocates Packing Groups. It also sets out some useful information on 

properties of dangerous goods specified in column 2 and observations relevant to dealing with 

those dangerous goods. Where reference is made to ‘denser than air’ or ‘less dense than air’, this 

is a reference to vapour density relative to air. 

(10) GUIDE AS TO HOW THE ALPHABETICAL ORDER OF DANGEROUS GOODS AND OTHER 

ENTRIES HAS BEEN DETERMINED 

A GENERAL RULE 

Except as indicated below, the main entries in Appendices 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, (that portion which includes 

listings of environmentally hazardous substances) and 9 are in traditional chemical alphabetical 

order, sorted on the alphabetical entry, being in Columns 2, 1, 1, 1, 2 and 1 respectively. 

Note: All entries for sulphur compounds are now spelt with an “f” in lieu of “ph”. “Sulfur is the preferred 

spelling but “sulphur” may be used as an alternative. [Similarly Caesium not Cesium and Aluminium 

not Aluminum] 

To assist locating the Proper Shipping Name or other entry some of the rules used are set out below. 

1. Treatment of Numerals 

Numerals at the head of or elsewhere within the entry do not affect the order, unless the 

numerals are the only difference. In these instances the order is in increasing natural 

numerical order, save for Refrigerants commencing with “R” where the order is in increasing 

computer numerical order. 

2. Treatment of Prefixes - Ignored Prefixes 

For the purpose of determining the alphabetical order the following are ignored even when 

they form part of the entry. 

i) Greek letters, Alpha -α, Beta - β, Gamma - γ and Omega -ω 

ii) Numbers 

iii) The abbreviations: 

cis reflecting a particular type of stereoisomerism 

H meaning “indicated or added Hydrogen” 

m meaning meta 

n meaning normal 

N meaning “attached to Nitrogen” 

o meaning ortho 

O meaning “attached to Oxygen” 

p meaning para 

S meaning “attached to Sulfur” 

sec meaning secondary 

tert meaning tertiary 

trans reflecting a particular type of stereoisomerism 

iv) N.O.S. (not otherwise specified) 

3 Treatment of Prefixes - Not ignored prefixes 

Unlike the prefixes in 2 above, the following prefixes do determine the order for such names. 

i) BI, BIS, CYCLO, EPI, ISO, NEO, PER, TRIS 

ii) Greek prefixes denoting number such as: MONO, DI, TRI, TETRA, PENTA 

iii) ORTHO and PARA. 

4 Some examples of the preceding rules are as follows: 

“ISOPROPANOL” appears under “I” 

“n-PROPANOL” appears under “P” 

“N-n-BUTYLIMIDAZOLE” appears under “B” 

“1,5,9-CYCLODODECATRIENE” appears under “C”. 

20

B GROUPED PRODUCTS 

1. Pesticides 


For convenience, dangerous goods classified as pesticides appear in Appendix 2, under their 

own Proper Shipping Name and are grouped under Class 3 and Class 6.1 in Appendix 8. In 

addition, a list of Common Pesticides with their corresponding UN numbers is given in 

Appendix 9. The notes to that Appendix are quite relevant. 

2. Refined Petroleum Products 

Flammable liquids which may be assigned to this group are listed under a group heading 

“Refined Petroleum Products” with a U.N. number of 1270 in Appendix 8. Refer also to 

Code Clauses 2.1.10 and 7.1.4 

3. Waste Products 

Waste products which are not identifiable as dangerous goods by a specific name may be 

found listed as a generic or N.O.S. entry in Appendix 8. 

ADDENDUM I TO APPENDIX 2. 

Assignment of Packing Group 

1 Introduction 

Where a Packing Group is not mentioned specifically in Columns 2,3,7 or 9 of this Appendix, 

the following should be taken into consideration in allocating a Packing Group for an article or 

substance. 

2 (Reserved) 

3 Class 3 

3.1 Definition and General Provisions 

3.1.1 Flammable liquids are liquids, or mixtures of liquids, or liquids containing solids 

in solution or suspension (for example, paints, varnishes, lacquers, etc., but do 

not include substances otherwise classified on account of their dangerous 

characteristics) which give off a flammable vapour at temperatures of not more 

than 60.5°C, closed-cup test, or not more than 65.6°C, open-cup test, normally 

referred to as the flash point. This class also includes: 

(a) Liquids offered for transport at temperatures at or above their flash point; and; 

(b) Substances that are transported, are offered for transport or are at 

elevated temperatures in a liquid state and which give off a flammable 

vapour at a temperature at or below the maximum transport temperature. 

Note 1: The word “flammable” has the same meaning as the now deprecated 

“inflammable”. 

Note 2: The flash point of a flammable liquid may be altered by the presence of an 

impurity. The substances listed in Class 3 in the Dangerous Goods List in 

Appendix 2 shall generally be regarded as chemically pure. Since 

commercial products may contain added substances or impurities, flash 

points may vary, and this may have an effect on classification or 

determination of the Packing Group for the product. In the event of doubt 

regarding the classification or Packing Group of a substance, the flash 

point of the substance shall be determined experimentally. 

Note 3: The results of flash point tests, both open-cup and closed-cup, are not 

strictly comparable and even individual results by the same test are often 

variable. 

21

2 


3.1.2 Liquids meeting the definition in 3.1.1 with a flash point of more than 35°C which 

do not sustain combustion need not be considered as flammable liquids for the 

purposes of this Code. Liquids are considered to be unable to sustain 

combustion for the purposes of this Code (i.e. they do not sustain combustion 

under defined test conditions) if: 

(a) They have passed a suitable combustibility test (see SUSTAINED 

COMBUSTIBILITY TEST prescribed in Part III, sub-section 32.5.2, of the 

Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of 

Tests and Criteria); or 

(b) Their fire point according to ISO 2592:1973 is greater than 100°C; (this 

criterion exempts many flammable liquids, water mixtures and blends of 

petroleum products for which the flash point does not truly represent the 

flammability hazard); or 

(c) They are water miscible solutions with a water content of more than 90% 

by mass. 

3.1.3 The following substances are excluded from Class 3: 

(a) combustible liquids as defined in AS1940 (however see Code clause 2.1.10); 

(b) aqueous solutions of ethanol containing not more than 24% ethanol by 

volume (see SP144); and 

(c) substances otherwise classified on account of their other more dangerous 

characteristics. 

3.2 Assignment of packing groups 

3.2.1 The criteria in 3.2.6 are used to determine the Packing Group of a liquid that 

presents a risk due to flammability. 

3.2.1.1 For liquids whose only risk is flammability, the Packing Group for 

the substance is the hazard grouping shown in 3.2.6. 

3.2.1.2 For a liquid with additional risk(s), the hazard group determined 

from 3.2.6 and the hazard group based on the severity of the additional risk(s) 

shall be considered. In such cases, the table of precedence of hazard 

characteristics in Clauses 2.3.3(1) and 2.3.3(2) and Table 2.1 of the Code 

should be used to determine the correct classification of the liquid. The hazard 

grouping indicating the highest degree of danger based on the different risks of 

a substance then becomes the Packing Group of the substance. 

3.2.2 Viscous substances such as paints, enamels, lacquers, varnishes, adhesives 

and polishes having a flash point of less than 23°C may be placed in Packing 

Group III in conformity with the procedures prescribed in Part III, sub-sections 

32.3.7, 32.4.2, 32.4.2.2, 32.4.3 and 32.5.1 of the Recommendations on the 

Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Criteria on the basis of: 

(a) The viscosity expressed as the flowtime in seconds; 

(b) The closed-cup flash point; 

(c) A solvent separation test. 

3.2.3 Viscous flammable liquids such as paints, enamels, lacquers, varnishes, 

adhesives and polishes with a flash point of less than 23°C are included in 

Packing Group III provided that: 

22


(a) Less than 3% of the clear solvent layer separates in the solvent 

separation test; and 

(b) The mixtures does not contain any substance with a primary or a 

subsidiary risk of Class 6.1 or Class 8; and 

Note: The mixture is not necessarily required to bear a Class 6.1 or Class 8 

subsidiary risk label; and 

(c) The Viscosity and flash point are in accordance with the following table; and 

TABLE 1 

Criteria for Flammable Viscous Substances 

Flow time t in seconds Flash point 

4 mm jet cup 6 mm jet cup ( °C) 

20 < t ≤ 60 - Above 17 

60 < t ≤ 100 - Above 10 

- 20 < t ≤ 32 Above 5 

- 32 < t ≤ 44 Above - 1 

- 44 < t ≤ 100 Above - 5 

- 100 < t - 5 and below 

(d) The capacity of the receptacle used does not exceed 450 litres. 

3.2.4 Substances classified as flammable liquids due to their being transported, being 

offered for transport or being at elevated temperatures are included in Packing 

Group III. 

3.2.5 Viscous substances which: 

- have a flash point of 23°C or above and less than or equal to 60.5°C; 

- are neither toxic nor corrosive; 

- contain not more than 20% nitrocellulose provided the nitrocellulose 

contains not more than 12.6% nitrogen by dry mass; and 

- are packed in receptacles of less than 450 L capacity; 

are not subject to this Code, if: 

(a) In the solvent separation test (see Part III, sub-section 32.5.1, of the 


Tests and Criteria) the height of the separated layer of solvent is less than 

3% of the total height; and 

(b) The flowtime in the viscosity test (see Part III, sub-section 32.4.3, of the 


Tests and Criteria) with a jet diameter of 6 mm is equal to or greater than: 

(i) 60 seconds; or 

(ii) 40 seconds if the viscous substance contains not more than 60% of 

Class 3 substances.

Hazard Grouping Based on Flammability 

Packing Group Flash point (closed cup) Initial boiling point 

I – ≤ 35°C 

II < 23°C > 35°C 

III ≥ 23°C - ≤ 60.5°C > 35°C 

3.3 Determination of flash Point 

4 Class 4 

The flash point shall be determined in accordance with the tests in AS2106 or in 

accordance with Clause 2.3.3 of the UN Recommendations - 10th Revised Edition. 

4.1 Assignment of Packing Groups to Class 4.1 

4.1.1 Assignment of Packing Groups to New Flammable Solids 

4.1.1.1 For readily combustible solids (other than metal powders) which 

are tested in accordance with the test methods and criteria in the Burning Rate 

Test (See Clause 33.2.1.4.3.2 in the U.N. Recommendations - Manual of Tests 

and Criteria), Packing Group II shall be assigned if the burning time is less than 

45 seconds and the flame passes the wetted zone. Packing Group II shall be 

assigned to powders of metal or metal alloys if the zone of reaction spreads 

over the whole length of the sample in 5 minutes or less. 

4.1.1.2 For readily combustible solids (other than metal powders), Packing 

Group III shall be assigned if the burning time is less than 45 seconds and the 

wetted zone stops the flame propagation for at least 4 minutes. Packing Group 

III shall be assigned to metal powders if the reaction spreads over the whole 

length of the sample in more than 5 minutes but not more than 10 minutes. 

4.1.1.3 For solids which may cause fire through friction, the Packing Group 

shall be assigned by analogy with existing entries or in accordance with any 

appropriate Special Provision. 

4.1.2 Assignment of Packing Groups to Existing Entries for Flammable Solids 

4.1.2.1 Readily combustible solids and solids which may cause fire through 

friction are flammable solids with a wide range of properties. Some of these 

substances have been assigned to Packing Group II on the basis of experience 

and judgement of their characteristics. Such entries in Appendix 2 are: 

(a) Wetted pyrophoric powders: 

1326 HAFNIUM POWDER, WETTED etc.; 

1352 TITANIUM POWDER, WETTED etc.; 

1358 ZIRCONIUM POWDER, WETTED etc. 

These powders of Class 4.1 are wetted with sufficient water to suppress 

pyrophoric properties. 

24


(b) Other substances, or articles: 

1309 ALUMINIUM POWDER, COATED - an ignitable element, see 

also 4.1.2.2 (d); 

1323 FERROCERIUM - lighter flints, emit sparks when struck; 

1333 CERIUM, slabs, ingots or rods - slabs, ingots and rods show a 

tendency to ignite; 

1339 PHOSPHORUS HEPTASULFIDE, free from yellow and white 

phosphorus; 

1341 PHOSPHORUS SESQUISULFIDE, etc.; 

1343 PHOSPHORUS TRISULFIDE, etc. - these sulfides may ignite 

through friction to give off flammable and toxic fumes; 

1437 ZIRCONIUM HYDRIDE - is stable in air and water, the hydrogen 

content is 1.7% to 2.1%; when ignited it burns with incandescence 

and mild explosions; 

1868 DECABORANE - is stable indefinitely at room temperature but 

decomposes slowly to give off hydrogen at 300°C; 

1871 TITANIUM HYDRIDE - dissociates to give off hydrogen 

above 288°C; 

2623 FIRELIGHTERS, SOLID with flammable liquid - the flash point of 

the impregnating liquid is

2 


2001 COBALT NAPHTHENATES, POWDER; 

2538 NITRONAPHTHALENE; 

2687 DICYCLOHEXYLAMMONIUM NITRITE; 

2714 ZINC RESINATE; 

2715 ALUMINIUM RESINATE. 

These substances have given a positive reaction in a burning rate test. 

(b) Organic subliming solids: 

1312 BORNEOL; 

1334 NAPHTHALENE, CRUDE or NAPHTHALENE, REFINED; 

2304 NAPHTHALENE, MOLTEN; 

2717 CAMPHOR, synthetic. 

These substances give variable results in a burning rate test as the rate of 

sublimation is affected by the ambient starting temperature and air flow. 

(c) Organic polymers, depolymerizing at low temperatures: 

1332 METALDEHYDE; 

2213 PARAFORMALDEHYDE. 

These substances may also give variable results in a burning rate test. 

(d) Ignitable elements: 

1338 PHOSPHORUS, AMORPHOUS; 

1346 SILICON POWDER, AMORPHOUS; 

1350 SULFUR; 

1869 MAGNESIUM or MAGNESIUM ALLOYS etc.; 

2448 SULFUR, MOLTEN; 

2858 ZIRCONIUM, DRY etc.; 

2878 TITANIUM SPONGE GRANULES or TITANIUM SPONGE 

POWDERS 

These substances are known to be readily ignitable in practice and/or 

difficult to extinguish, but give variable results in a burning rate test. 

Uncharacteristic results with metal powders are caused by the method of 

production, leading to surface oxidation, which inhibits ignition; see also 

clause 4.1.2.1(b). 

(e) Matches: 

1331 MATCHES, ‘STRIKE ANYWHERE’; 

1944 MATCHES, SAFETY etc.; 

1945 MATCHES, WAX ‘VESTA’; 

2254 MATCHES, FUSEE. 

These products ignite by friction, but some types require a specially 

prepared surface. 

(f) Firelighters: 

2623 FIRELIGHTERS, SOLID with flammable liquid. 

The flash point of the impregnating liquid is ≥ 23°C and ≤ 60.5°C; see also 

clause 4.1.2.1 (b). 

(g) Collective entries: 

1325 FLAMMABLE SOLID, ORGANIC N.O.S.; 

2925 FLAMMABLE SOLID, ORGANIC, CORROSIVE, N.O.S.; 

2926 FLAMMABLE SOLID, ORGANIC, TOXIC, N.O.S.;

3181 METAL SALTS OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS, FLAMMABLE, 

N.O.S.; 

3182 METAL HYDRIDES, FLAMMABLE, N.O.S. 

These entries shall be used in accordance with the requirements of 

Addendum III; see, however, Special Provisions 184 and 192, as 

appropriate, and clause 4.1.2.1(c). Assignment to Packing Group II or III 

should be determined by an experienced chemist or the Competent 

Authority. 

4.1.3 Assignment of Packing Groups to Self-reactive and Related Substances 

All self-reactive and related substances have been assigned to Packing Group II. 

4.1.4 Assignment of Packing Groups to Desensitized Explosives 

The Packing Group for desensitized explosives is given in Column 5 of 

Appendix 2 for the particular substance. .Such entries in Appendices 1 and 2 are:

2024, 2025, 2026, 2027, 2788, 3140, 3144, 3146, 3155, 3278 and 3279. 


Toxic substances (Class 6.1), including pesticides, shall be assigned to one of the 

three Packing Groups according to human experience as outlined in clause 6.1.1 or to 

the results of testing conducted under clause 6.1.2. 

Where a substance exhibits a different order of toxicity by two or more of the routes of 

administration specified in clause 6.1.2.2, the Packing Group indicating the highest 

degree of danger indicated by the tests shall be assigned. The criteria for grouping a 

substance according to the toxicity it exhibits by all three routes of administration are 

presented in clauses 6.2 to 6.4. 

6.1.1 Human Experience 

Account shall be taken of human experience in instances of accidental 

poisoning and of special properties possessed by any individual substance, 

such as liquid state, high volatility, any special likelihood of penetration, and 

special biological effects. 

28


6.1.2 Animal Experiments 

6.1.2.1 Introduction 

In the absence of human experience the assignment of substances to Class 6.1 

shall be based on data obtained from animal experiments. Three possible 

routes of administration shall be examined. These routes are exposure through 

oral ingestion, dermal contact and inhalation of dusts, mists, or vapours. 

6.1.2.2 Test Methods 

The test methods used shall be as follows: 

(a) LD50 for acute oral toxicity 

The LD50 (acute, oral) is that dose of the substance administered which is 

most likely to cause death within 14 days in one half of both male and 

female young adult albino rats. The number of animals tested shall be 

sufficient to give a statistically significant result and be in conformity with 

good pharmacological practice. The result shall be expressed in 

milligrams per kilogram body mass. 

(b) LD50 for acute dermal toxicity 

The LD50 (acute, dermal) is that dose of the substance which, 

administered by continuous contact for 24 hours to the bare skin of albino 

rabbits, is most likely to cause death within 14 days in one half of the 

animals tested. The number of animals tested shall be sufficient to give a 

statistically significant result and be in conformity with good 

pharmacological practice. The result shall be expressed in milligrams per 

kilogram body mass. 

(c) LC50 for acute toxicity on inhalation 

The LC50 (acute, inhalation) is that concentration of vapour, mist or dust 

which, administered by continuous inhalation to both male and female 

young adult albino rats for one hour, is most likely to cause death within 

14 days in one half of the animals tested. The number of animals tested 

shall be sufficient to give a statistically significant result and be in 

conformity with good pharmacological practice. 

If the substance is administered to the animals as dust or mist, more than 

90% of the particles available for inhalation in the test must have a 

diameter of 10 microns or less, provided that it is reasonably foreseeable 

that such concentrations could be encountered by humans during 

transport. The result is expressed in milligrams per litre of air for dusts 

and mists. 

Note: The criteria for inhalation toxicity of vapours are based on LC50 data 

relating to 1 hour exposures, and where such information is available it 

shall be used. However, where only LC50 data relating to 4 hour 

exposures to the vapours are available, such figures can be multiplied by 

two and the product substituted in the above criteria, i.e. LC50 (4 hour) x 2 

is considered the equivalent of LC50 (1 hour). 

6.1.2.3 Criteria 

A substance shall be assigned to Class 6.1 if, when tested in accordance with 

clause 6.1.2.2, it has a toxicity value less than or equal to that shown in Table 3.

6.2 The grouping criteria for the oral and dermal routes as well as for inhalation of dusts 

and mists are shown in Table 4. 

6.3 Liquids having toxic vapours shall be assigned to the following Packing Groups, where 

‘V’ is the saturated vapour concentration in ppm of air at 20°C and standard 

atmospheric pressure: 

Packing Group I - if V ≥ 10 LC50 and LC50 ≤ 1000ppm 

Packing Group II - if V ≥ LC50 and LC50 ≤ 3000ppm, and the substance 

does not meet the criteria for Packing Group I. 

Packing Group III* - if V ≥ 1/5 LC50 and LC50 ≤ 5000ppm, and the substance 

does not meet the criteria for Packing Groups I or II. 

6.4 The figure in Addendum V of Appendix 3 expresses the criteria in graphical form, as 

an aid to easy classification. However, due to approximations inherent in the use of 

graphs, substances on or near Packing Group borderlines should be checked using 

numerical criteria.

dusts and mists 

LC50 (mg/L) 

6.5.1 Mixtures of liquids that are toxic by inhalation shall be assigned to one of the 

three Packing Groups according to clauses 6.5.2 or 6.5.3. 

* Tear gas substances are included in Packing Group II even if their toxicity data correspond to the 

values for Packing Group III.


6.5.2 If LC50 data are available for each of the toxic substances comprising a mixture, 

the Packing Group may be determined as follows: 

(a) Estimate the LC50 of the mixture using the formula: 

LC 50 (mixture) =

(d) Using the calculated values LC50 (mixture) and R, the Packing Group for 

the mixture is as follows: 

Packing Group I - if R ≥ 10 and LC50 (mixture) ≤ 1000ppm. 

Packing Group II - if R ≥ 1 and LC50 (mixture) ≤ 3000ppm and the 

mixture does not meet the criteria for Packing 

Group I. 

Packing Group III - if R ≥ 1/5 and LC50 (mixture) ≤ 5000ppm and 

the mixture does not meet the criteria for 

Packing Groups I or II. 

6.5.3: To determine the Inhalation Toxicity/Packing Group borderlines refer to 

Addendum V of Appendix 3. 

6.5.4 In the absence of LC50 data on the toxic constituent substances, the mixture 

may be assigned a Packing Group based on the following simplified threshold 

toxicity tests. When these threshold tests are used, the most restrictive Packing 

Group must be determined and used for transporting the mixture.

2 


(a) A mixture is assigned to Packing Group I only if it meets both of the 

following criteria: 

(i) A sample of the liquid mixture is vaporized and diluted with air to 

create a test atmosphere of 1000ppm vaporized mixture in air. Ten 

albino rats (5 male and 5 female) are exposed to the test 

atmosphere for one hour and observed for fourteen days. If five or 

more of the animals die within the fourteen day observation period, 

the mixture is presumed to have an LC50 equal to or less than 

1000ppm; and 

(ii) A sample of the vapour in equilibrium with the liquid mixture at 

20°C is diluted with 9 equal volumes of air to form a test 

atmosphere. Ten albino rats (5 male and 5 female) are exposed to 

the test atmosphere for one hour and observed for fourteen days. 

If five or more of the animals die within the fourteen day 

observation period, the mixture is presumed to have a volatility 

equal to or greater than ten times the mixture LC50. 

(b) A mixture is assigned to Packing Group II only if it meets both the 

following criteria, and the mixture does not meet the criteria for Packing 

Group I: 




atmosphere for one hour and observed for fourteen days. If five or 

more of the animals die within the fourteen day observation period, 

the mixture is presumed to have an LC50 equal to or less than 

3000ppm; and 

(ii) A sample of the vapour in equilibrium with the liquid mixture at 

20°C is used to form a test atmosphere. Ten albino rats (5 male 

and 5 female) are exposed to the test atmosphere for one hour and 

observed for fourteen days. If five or more of the animals die within 

the fourteen day observation period, the mixture is presumed to 

have a volatility equal to or greater than the mixture LC50. 

(c) A mixture is assigned to Packing Group III only if it meets both of the 

following criteria, and the mixture does not meet the criteria for Packing 

Groups I or II: 




atmosphere for one hour and observed for fourteen days. 

If five or more of the animals die within the fourteen day 

observation period, the mixture is presumed to have an LC50 equal 

to or less than 5000ppm; and 

(ii) The vapour pressure of the liquid mixture is measured and if the 

vapour pressure is equal to or greater than 1000ppm, the mixture is 

presumed to have a volatility equal to or greater than 1/5 the 

mixture LC50.

6.6 Pesticides 

7 (Reserved) 

8 Class 8 


6.6.1 All active pesticide substances and their preparations for which the LC50 and/or 

LD50 values are known and which are classified in Class 6.1 shall be assigned to 

appropriate Packing Groups in accordance with the criteria given in Addendum 

V of Appendix 3. Substances and preparations which are characterised by 

Subsidiary Risks should be classified according to the precedence of hazard 

table (Table 2.1 of Volume 1 of this Code) with the assignment of appropriate 

Packing groups. 

6.6.2 If the LC50 and/or LD50 values of the active pesticide substance or preparation 

are not known but the active substance is named in Appendix 2, such substance 

or preparations containing this substance in concentrations mentioned in 

Appendix 2, and which are characterised as having no Subsidiary Risks, shall 

be classified in Class 6.1 and assigned to the Packing Group as shown in 

Appendix 2. Preparations containing the active substance in concentrations 

below the minimum stated in the Packing Group III columns of Appendix 2 are 

considered not to be dangerous goods of Class 6.1. Active substances and 

preparations which are named in Appendix 2, and which are characterised by 

Subsidiary Risks shall be classified using the precedence of hazard table 

(Table 2.1 of Volume 1 of this Code). 

6.6.3 If preparations of pesticides cannot be classified according to clauses 6.5.1 and 

6.5.2 and the LD50 value of their active substance is known, the LD50 value of 

such preparations can be obtained from the following formula: 

LD value of preparation 

50 

33 

= 

LD50 value of active substance x 100 

percentage of active substance by mass 

6.6.4 A classification according to clauses 6.6.2 and 6.6.3 shall not be carried 

out when a preparation contains additives which affect the overall toxic hazard, 

or when a preparation contains several active substances. In such cases, 

the classification shall be based on the LC50 and/or LD50 values of the 

preparation as a whole, determined according to the criteria in Table 4. If the 

LC50 and/or LD50 values are not known the preparation shall be classified under 

Packing Group I. 

Corrosive substances (Class 8) shall be assigned to one of the three Packing Groups 

according to the results of testing conducted under clause 8.4. 

8.1 Introduction 

Substances are assigned to Class 8 in accordance with the test methods and criteria 

in clauses 8.2. and 8.3. 

8.2 Test Methods 

8.2.1 Skin Corrosivity 

Testing for skin corrosivity shall be conducted on the intact skin of a test animal 

in accordance with the appropriate methods in the latest edition of the OECD 

Guidelines for the testing of Chemicals. 

Note: Substances which are judged not to cause visible necrosis in human skin shall 

still be considered for their potential to cause corrosion in metal surfaces.

2 

8.2.2 Metal Corrosivity 


Testing for metal corrosion shall be conducted on SAE 1020 steel or 7075 T6 

non-clad aluminium surfaces at a test temperature of 55°C using the metal 

corrosion test in Laboratory Corrosion Testing of Metals for the Process Industry 

NACE TM-01-69 (Revised 1976). 

Note: This test need only be conducted if the substance does not meet the criteria in 

clause 8.3. for skin corrosivity. 

8.3 Criteria 

A substance shall be assigned to Class 8 if, when tested in accordance with 

clause 8.2., it: 

(a) causes visible necrosis of skin tissue at the site of contact when tested for a 

period of up to four hours; or 

(b) corrodes the test metals at a rate greater than 6.25mm per year. 

Note: the appropriate Packing Group shall be determined by reference to paragraph 8.4. 

8.4. CRITERIA FOR PACKING GROUPS 

(a) Packing Group I 

(i) Substances which cause visible necrosis of skin tissue at the site of 

contact when tested for a period of 3 minutes or less; or 

(ii) Substances which cause visible necrosis of skin tissue at the site of 

contact when tested for a period of more than three minutes but not more 

than sixty minutes, and in addition have an inhalation toxicity in the vapour 

phase corresponding to an LC50 greater than 50ppm but not more than 

200ppm. 

Note: Substances with an inhalation toxicity in the vapour phase corresponding 

to an LC50 of equal to or less than 50ppm should be considered primarily 

as a toxic hazard. 

(b) Packing Group II 


contact when tested for a period of more than three minutes but not more 

than 60 minutes; or 

(ii) Liquid waste substances that have a pH less than 2.0 or greater than 12.5. 

(c) Packing Group III 


contact when tested for a period of more than sixty minutes but not more 

than four hours; or 

(ii) Substances which do not cause visible necrosis after the period specified 

in (i) of this part (c) but which corrode the test metals at a rate greater 

than 6.25mm per year.

ADDENDUM II TO APPENDIX 2 


Determination of Dangerous Goods Status of Mixtures and Solutions 

A mixture or solution containing one or more substances identified by name in this Appendix or classified 

under an N.O.S. entry and one or more substances not subject to the provisions of this Code, is not 

subject to the provisions of this Code if the hazard characteristics of the mixture or solution are such that 

they do not meet the criteria (including human experience criteria) for any Class. 

ADDENDUM III TO APPENDIX 2. 

Assignment of Proper Shipping Name and UN Number to Mixtures and Unlisted Substances 

1. Unlisted Substances 

1.1 All Unlisted Substances 

Where a substance, including a mixture, is not directly listed in Appendix 2 it must first 

be assigned a Class, Subsidiary Risk (if any) and Packing Group in accordance with 

Chapter 2 of the Code and Addendum I to Appendix 2. Classification is, in any case, 

required information for labelling, but it is also necessary for the selection of the N.O.S. 

name and corresponding UN Number which most accurately describes the substance 

within its Class and Subsidiary Risk. For example, a substance classified as Class 3, 

Subsidiary Risk 8 may be described as ‘FLAMMABLE LIQUID, CORROSIVE, N.O.S., 

UN2924’. 

If a substance has been assigned to Class 3 and is known to be an alcohol it shall be 

described as ‘ALCOHOLS, N.O.S., UN1987’ rather than ‘FLAMMABLE LIQUID, 

N.O.S., UN1993’ because the former is the more accurate description. 

1.2 Unlisted Technically Pure Substances 

2 Mixtures 

For an unlisted technically pure substance, the N.O.S. name must be selected in 

accordance with clause 1.1 (above). Where this N.O.S. name, as listed in Column 2 of 

Appendix 2 has SP274 against it, the name must be supplemented with the Technical 

Name of the substance in parenthesis immediately following the name. For example, 

caprylyl chloride will not be found in Appendix 2. It is a corrosive liquid of Class 8 and 

is properly described as ‘CORROSIVE LIQUID, N.O.S. (CAPRYLYL CHLORIDE) 

UN1760’. 

(a) For a mixture of listed or unlisted substances, where the N.O.S. name in Column 2 of 

Appendix 2 has SP274 against it, the Technical Names or Proper Shipping Names of 

not more than two constituents which most predominantly contribute to the hazards of 

the mixture shall be shown in parentheses immediately following the N.O.S. name. 

This requirement shall not apply to controlled substances when their disclosure is 

prohibited by national law or international convention. 

If classification demonstrates a Subsidiary Risk, then one of the two names must be 

that of the constituent compelling the Subsidiary Risk classification. 

(b) Where the Technical Name(s) in parentheses are of constituents in a mixture, a 

qualifying term such as ‘contains’ shall be used to indicate a mixture rather than a pure 

compound. For example, ‘CORROSIVE LIQUID N.O.S. (CONTAINS CAPRYLYL 

CHLORIDE), UN1760’ or ‘CORROSIVE LIQUID N.O.S. (70% CAPRYLYL 

CHLORIDE), UN1760’, may be used for a corrosive mixture in which caprylyl chloride 

is the principal hazardous ingredient.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 

GENERAL NOTES: 

(1) Ammonium nitrate products which are 

liable to self-heating sufficient to initiate a 

decomposition are prohibited. 

(2) The compatibility of non-hazardous 

ammonium nitrate mixtures with other 

materials which may be stowed in the 

same compartment should be 

considered before loading. 

(3) There is no need to segregate 

ammonium nitrate of Class 9 from other 

ammonium nitrates provided the hazard 

of the total load shall be that of the most 

hazardous ammonium nitrate in the load. 

(4) Crystals, granules or prills. Wholly or 

partly soluble in water. Supporter of 

combustion. A major fire may involve a 

risk of explosion in the event of 

contamination (e.g. by fuel oil) or strong 

confinement. An adjacent detonation 

may also involve a risk of explosion. If 

heated strongly; decomposes, giving off 

toxic gases and gases which support 

combustion. 

(5) Fire fighting: on detection of fire the 

compartment(s) should be opened up to 

provide maximum ventilation and the fire 

fought with large quantities of water. 

Steam or inert gases should not be used. 

Self contained breathing apparatus 

should be worn whenever such fires are 

fought. 

(6) Uniform non-segregating mixtures of 

ammonium nitrate with calcium 

carbonate and/or dolomite, containing 

not more than 80% ammonium nitrate, 

provided they contain not less than 20% 

of these carbonates (of minimum purity 

90%) and not more than 0.4% total 

combustible material, can be considered 

to be not a dangerous goods. 

(7) Uniform non-segregating mixtures of 

ammonium nitrate/ammonium sulfate 

containing not more than 45% 

ammonium nitrate and not more than 

0.4% total combustible material, can be 

considered to be not a dangerous goods.

– Pesticides GENERAL NOTES: 

Pesticides are listed alphabetically in Appendix 

9 and also generically in Appendix 8 under 

Class 3 and Class 6. 

Pesticides present a wide range of differing 

hazards. For toxicities refer to the following 

publications: 

1. The poison schedules to appropriate 

poison regulations in each State or 

Territory. 

2. The UN Pesticides List, published by UN 

Committee of Experts on the Transport of 

Dangerous Goods, and reproduced in 

modified form in Appendix 9 of this Code. 

The notes to this Appendix are also quite 

relevant. 

3. State Pesticide Acts and Regulations. 

4. The WHO Recommended Classification 

of Pesticides by Hazard and Guidelines 

to Classification which has limited 

distribution and is referenced as: 

“WHO/PCS/96.3”. 

Packing Group is determined principally by 

reference to the SP entries in Column 7 

however regard should be taken of 

Addendum I to Appendix 2 or Chapters 2.3 

and 2.6 of the 10th revised edition of the UN 

Recommendations.

explosive mixture with air which may be ignited 

by static electricity. Explosion may be avoided 

by preventing the atmosphere becoming dustladen 

by adequate ventilation or by hosingdown 

instead of sweeping.

NOTES: 


APPENDIX 3—LIST OF SPECIAL PROVISIONS 

(1) Appendix 3 contains a series of Special Provisions. These provisions have been adopted from the 

UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods. 

(2) Each provision is numbered. When Column 7 of Appendix 2 indicates that a Special Provision is 

relevant to particular dangerous goods the meaning and requirements of that Special Provision are 

as set forth below. 

(3) Some Special Provisions merely contain helpful information in relation to the goods (see, for 

example, SP 23, SP 47 and SP 182). 

(4) Some Special Provisions qualify an entry in Appendix 2, for example, by specifying that certain of 

the dangerous goods named in column 2 may be classified in a particular way (see, for example, 

SP 63 and SP 210), that the entry applies only to goods of a particular description (see, for 

example, SP 170 and SP 171), or that the Packing Group for the goods is to be determined in a 

particular way (see, for example, SP 49 and SP 53). 

(5) Some Special Provisions specify the way in which dangerous goods are to be packaged, marked 

and transported (see, for example, SP 28, SP 80 and SP 133). 

(6) Some Special Provisions provide that the transport of goods to which the Special Provision applies 

may be prohibited (see, for example, SP 76 and SP 78). For the purposes of this Code, those 

goods are specified as goods too dangerous to be transported. 

(7) Some Special Provisions provide that under certain conditions, some goods are not subject to the 

provisions of this Code. For the purposes of this Code, those goods are not dangerous goods (see, 

for example, SP 37, SP 38 and SP 39). 

(8) Some Special Provisions provide that a conduct in relation to a dangerous goods is prohibited 

unless “special authorization” is granted by a Competent Authority. Conduct of that description 

without such authorization is not in accordance with this Code. 

If it is wished to obtain an exemption from compliance with the Regulations that give legal effect to 

this Code, application should be made to the relevant Competent Authority (see sections 32 and 33 

of the Road Act and Part 16 of the Road Regulations. 

ADDENDUM I to APPENDIX 3 

ADDENDA TO APPENDIX 3 

Where a substance is assigned to Class 1 but is diluted to be exempted from Class 1 by Test 

Series 6, (Refer to Section 16 of UN Recommendations - Manual of Tests and Criteria) this diluted 

substance, when meeting the classification criteria or definition for another class, is listed in 

Appendix 2 in that class, at the highest concentration which exempts it from Class 1. When 

sufficiently diluted, such substances may be deemed not to be subject to the provisions of this Code. 

ADDENDUM II to APPENDIX 3 

Desensitized explosives are substances which are wetted with water or alcohols or are diluted with 

other substances to suppress their explosive properties (see Addendum I). Such entries include: 

UN Numbers. 1310, 1320, 1321, 1322, 1336, 1337, 1344, 1347, 1348, 1349, 1354, 1355, 1356, 

1357, 1517, 1571, 2555, 2556, 2557, 2852, 2907, 3270, 3319, 3343 and 3344.

ADDENDUM III to APPENDIX 3 


Methods for determining oral and dermal toxicity of mixtures 

When classifying and assigning the appropriate Packing Group to mixtures in Class 6.1, in accordance 

with the oral and dermal toxicity criteria in Addendum V of this Appendix, it is necessary to determine 

the acute LD50 of the mixture. 

If a mixture contains only one active substance, and the LD50 of that constituent is known, in the 

absence of reliable acute oral and dermal toxicity data on the actual mixture to be transported, the oral 

or dermal LD50 may be obtained by the following method: 

If a mixture contains more than one active constituent, there are three possible approaches that 

may be used to determine the oral or dermal LD50 of the mixture. The preferred method is to 

obtain reliable acute oral and dermal toxicity data on the actual mixture to be transported. If 

reliable, accurate data is not available, then either of the following methods may be performed: 

(a) Classify the formulation according to the most hazardous constituent of the mixture as if 

that constituent were present in the same concentration as the total concentration of all 

active constituents; or 

(b) Apply the formula: 

where: C = the % concentration of constituent A, B ... Z in the mixture 

T = the oral LD50 values of constituent A, B ... Z in the mixture 

TM = the oral LD50 value of the mixture. 

Note: This formula can also be used for dermal toxicities provided that this information is 

available on the same species for all constituents. The use of this formula does not take into 

account any potentiation or protective phenomena.

All active pesticide substances and their preparations for which the LC50 and/or LD50 values are known 

and which are classified in Class 6.1 should be classified under appropriate packing groups in 

accordance with the criteria given in Addendum V of this Appendix. Substances and preparations 

which are characterized by subsidiary risks should be classified according to the precedence of hazard 

table (see Table 2.1 of the Code) with the assignment of appropriate packing groups. 

If the oral or dermal LD50 value for a pesticide preparation is not known, but the LD50 value of its active 

substance(s) is known, the LD50 value for the preparation may be obtained by applying the procedures 

in Addendum III (above). 

Appendix 9 contains a list of common pesticides and a reference to the UN numbers assigned to the 

Proper Shipping Names that are relevant to the generic chemical group (e.g., organophosphorus 

pesticide) to which the particular pesticide belongs. The Proper Shipping Name used in the transport 

of the pesticide should be selected from those referenced on the basis of the active ingredient, of the 

physical state of the pesticide and any subsidiary risks it may exhibit.

ADDENDUM V to APPENDIX 3 

Grouping Criteria 


Note: Also refer to Clause 6 of Addendum I to Appendix 2 

The criteria for grouping a substance according to the toxicity it exhibits by all three routes of 

administration are presented in the following paragraphs. 

The grouping criteria for the oral and dermal routes as well as for inhalation of dusts and mists are 

shown in the following table.

LD50 toxicity data for a number of common pesticides may be obtained from the most current 

edition of the document “The WHO Recommended Classification of Pesticides by Hazard and 

Guidelines to Classification” available from your local Competent Authority. While that 

document may be used as a source of LD50 data for pesticides, its classification system should 

not be used for purposes of transport classification of, or assignment of Packing Groups to, 

pesticides, which should be in accordance with the provisions of this Code. 

Tear gas substances shall be included in Packing Group II even if their toxicity data correspond 

to Packing Group III values. 

Note: Substances meeting the criteria of Class 8 and with an inhalation toxicity of dusts and mists 

(LC50) leading to Packing Group I should only be accepted for an allocation to Class 6.1 if the 

toxicity through oral ingestion or dermal contact is at least in the range of Packing Group I or II. 

Otherwise an allocation to Class 8 should be made when appropriate. 

Liquids having toxic vapours should be assigned to the following packing groups, where “V” is the 

saturated vapour concentration in millilitres per metre cube of air at 20°C and standard atmospheric 

pressure: 

Packing Group I : If V ≥ 10 LC50 and LC50 ≤ 1,000 mL/m 3 

Packing Group II : If V ≥ LC50 and LC50 ≤ 3,000 mL/m 3 , and do not meet criteria for Packing 

Group I 

Packing Group III * : If V ≥ 1/5 LC50 and LC50 ≤ 5,000 mL/m 3 , and do not meet criteria for Packing 

Groups I or II. 

In the following figure the criteria according to the above paragraph are expressed in graphical form, 

as an aid to easy classification. However, because of approximations inherent in the use of graphs, 

substances on or near packing group borderlines should be checked using numerical criteria. 

* Tear gas substances shall be included in Packing Group II even if their toxicity data correspond to 

Packing Group III values.

National or international regulations may list, either as single or as suitable collective entries, 

substances or articles which do not appear in this code. A “generic” or “not otherwise specified” entry 

may be used to permit the transport of substances or articles which do not appear specifically by name 

in the list of dangerous goods. Such a substance or article may be transported only after its 

dangerous properties have been determined. The substance or article should then be classified 

according to the class definitions and test criteria and the name in Appendix 2 which most 

appropriately describes the substance should be used (see also the ‘List of Generic or N.O.S. Proper 

Shipping Names’ in Appendix 8). The classification should be made by the appropriate Competent 

Authority if so required or may otherwise be made by the consignor or manufacturer. Once the class 

of the substance or article has been so established all conditions for dispatch and transport, as stated 

in this Code, should be met. Any substance or article having or suspected of having explosive 

characteristics should first be considered for inclusion in Class 1. Some collective entries may be of 

the “generic” or “not otherwise specified” type provided that the regulations contain provisions ensuring 

safety, both by excluding extremely dangerous goods from normal transport and by covering all 

subsidiary risks inherent in some goods (see for further information section 2.1.3 of the United Nations 

Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods - Tenth Revised Edition). 

ADDENDUM VII to APPENDIX 3 

Any organic peroxide formulation which, in laboratory testing, neither detonates in the cavitated state 

nor deflagrates at all and shows no effect when heated under confinement nor any explosive power 

should be exempted from Class 5.2, provided that the formulation is thermally stable (self-accelerating 

decomposition temperature is 60°C or higher for a 50 kg package) and for liquid formulations diluent 

type A is used for desensitization (defined as ORGANIC PEROXIDE TYPE G, exit box G of Figure 2.2 

in the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Tenth Revised 

Edition). If the formulation is not thermally stable or a diluent other than type A is used for 

desensitization, the formulation should be defined as ORGANIC PEROXIDE TYPE F. (Refer to 

Section 2.5.3 of the Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods - Tenth Revised Edition 

and Part II of the U.N. Recommendations - Manual of Tests and Criteria)

ADDENDUM VIII to APPENDIX 3 


A packaging shall include the following essential elements: 

(a) An inner packaging comprising: 

(i) watertight primary receptacle(s); 

(ii) a watertight secondary packaging; 

(iii) absorbent material in sufficient quantity to absorb the entire contents placed between 

the primary receptacle(s) and the secondary packaging; if several primary receptacles 

are placed in a single secondary packaging, they shall be individually wrapped so as to 

prevent contact between them. 

(b) An outer packaging of adequate strength for its capacity, mass and intended use, and with a 

minimum external dimension of 100 mm. 

ADDENDUM IX to APPENDIX 3 

Transport of explosive substances which are unduly sensitive or so reactive as to be subject to 

spontaneous reaction is prohibited. 

For the purpose of this Code, the following definitions apply: 

(a) An explosive substance is a solid or liquid substance (or a mixture of substances) which is in 

itself capable by chemical reaction of producing gas at such a temperature and pressure and at 

such a speed as to cause damage to the surroundings. Pyrotechnic substances are included 

even when they do not evolve gases. 

(b) A pyrotechnic substance is a substance or a mixture of substances designed to produce an 

effect by heat, light, sound, gas or smoke or a combination of these as the result of 

non-detonative self-sustaining exothermic chemical reactions. 

(c) An explosive article is an article containing one or more explosive substances. 

ADDENDUM X to APPENDIX 3 

The following dangerous goods are listed for the purposes of this Addendum: 

(a) Explosives of Class 1; 

(b) Gases of Class 2 (other than in an aerosol) which exhibit a flammable, corrosive, oxidizing or 

toxic risk; 

(c) Self-reactive and related substances and desensitized explosives of Class 4.1; 

(d) Substances which are liable to spontaneous combustion of Class 4.2; 

(e) Organic peroxides requiring temperature control of Class 5.2; 

(f) Infectious substances of Class 6.2; 

(g) Radioactive material of Class 7; and 

(h) Dangerous goods of Packing Group I. 

ADDENDUM XI to APPENDIX 3 

Dangerous goods should not be packed together in the same outer packaging with dangerous or other 

goods if they react dangerously with each other and cause: 

(a) combustion and/or evolution of considerable heat; 

(b) evolution of flammable, toxic or asphyxiant gases; 

(c) the formation of corrosive substances; or 

(d) the formation of unstable substances.

NOTES: 


APPENDIX 4—HAZCHEM CODES 

(1) A Hazchem Code reflects the initial emergency response recommended in a dangerous situation 

such as leakage, spillage or fire involving the dangerous goods to which it relates. It offers 

guidance only on emergency responses. 

(2) Where the dangerous goods is permitted to be, and is carried in bulk, in an IBC, tank, etc. which 

forms part of, or which is attached to, a vehicle, Column 6 of Appendix 2, “Hazchem”, shows the 

Hazchem Code being an emergency action code for those goods. A Hazchem Code is required to 

be displayed on tanks and/or vehicles when conveying dangerous goods, as required by Clause 

7.1.2(c)(i) of the Australian Dangerous Goods Code. 

(3) The Hazchem Code is composed of a number, followed by one or more letters. Some letters may 

be presented in reverse, that is, printed in white on a dark square background. 

(4) The number or first part of the code indicates the equipment suitable for fire fighting and, where 

appropriate, for dispersing spillages of dangerous goods as follows: 

‘1’ water jets 

‘2’ water fog - in the absence of fog a fine spray may be used 

‘3’ foam 

‘4’ dry agent - water must not be allowed to come into contact with the dangerous goods at risk. 

(5) The table below shows the meaning of each of the letters, whether or not reversed, used in the 

second part of the code. The letters indicate the precautions to be taken in the event of a fire or 

spillage.

W Yes Full protective clothing Contain

Z No Breathing Apparatus Contain

NOTES TO TABLE: 

(i) Full protective clothing is a minimum of breathing apparatus, protective gloves, appropriate 

boots and a chemical splash suit. In the case of some chemicals, a fully sealed gas suit will 

be required. 

(ii) Where breathing apparatus is indicated, chemically impervious protective gloves should be 

worn. 

(iii) ‘Dilute’ indicates the substance may be washed away with large quantities of water. 

Whereas ‘Dilute’ originally allowed the diluted substance to be washed away, this is no longer 

accepted practice for environmental reasons. Wherever practicable, diluted substances 

should be contained and prevented from entering drains and water courses. 

(iv) ‘Contain’ indicates the need to prevent any spillage from entering drains or water courses. 

(v) Where the first letter in the Hazchem Code is depicted in “reverse” printing, this method must 

be used on Emergency Information Panels and the like. 

In documentation, when the reverse printing is not practical, the letters may be portrayed by 

printing with square brackets as indicated in Column 6 of Appendix 2.

4 


(6) The letter ‘E’ is added to a Hazchem Code when evacuation of the people from the neighbourhood 

of an incident should be considered. Actual evacuation is not automatic owing to the presence of 

an ‘E’ in the Hazchem Code and is a matter for decision after taking into account all relevant 

factors. 

(7) The Hazchem Code for dangerous goods dealt with in a specific entry in Appendix 2 is the 

Hazchem Code specified for the goods in column 6 of that Appendix. If a Hazchem Code entry is not 

included against a dangerous goods, not being an N.O.S. or Generic entry, then a Hazchem Code 

entry is not required for that dangerous goods. 

(8) The Hazchem Code for dangerous goods dealt with in an N.O.S. or Generic entry in Appendix 2 is 

the code that reflects the emergency response appropriate to a dangerous situation involving the 

goods. This code is derived in accordance with flow diagrams 1 to 5, inclusive, with the attendant 

Notes 1 to 22, inclusive, contained in the attached “Guide on the Allocation of Hazchem Codes”. 

(9) Appendix 2 allocates Hazchem Codes for some Generic and N.O.S. dangerous goods but not for 

all. In addition, the Hazchem Code may not be the most appropriate for some of the listed Generic 

and N.O.S. entries. In these circumstances an alternative Hazchem Code should be devised by an 

experienced chemist. Similarly, where a Hazchem Code is not given in Appendix 2 and it is 

appropriate that one be given, then a Hazchem Code should be devised by an experienced 

chemist. 

(10) If a load contains only one type of dangerous goods, the Hazchem Code for the load is the 

Hazchem Code for those goods. 

(11) If a load contains more than one type of dangerous goods, the Hazchem Code for the load is 

derived as follows: 

(a) To determine the first character:- determine the first number for each type of dangerous 

goods in the load and select the higher or highest of those numbers; 

(b) To determine the second character: 

(i) If the same letter occurs as the second character in the code for each substance, then 

that letter is the second character of the mixed load Hazchem emergency action code. 

(ii) If there are two different letters, take one of them and, using the following code chart, 

select the appropriate vertical column for that letter. Take the horizontal line 

appropriate to the second letter and the letter at the inter-section is the second 

character of the mixed load Hazchem emergency action code. 

(iii) If there are more than two different substances in the load proceed as in ‘(ii)’ above 

using the letters for any two of the substances’ action codes. Then use the resultant 

letter with that for another substance to determine a second resultant letter. The 

procedure is repeated until a final resultant letter is found. That letter is the second 

character of the mixed load Hazchem emergency action code; 

(iv) If the letter ‘E’ appears in any of the codes relating to any of the substances in the 

mixed load, it should be added to the mixed load Hazchem emergency action code. 

(c) For example, if the Hazchem emergency action codes for four substances are as follows: 

2PE; 3[S]; 1[T]; 2[Z], the resultant mixed load Hazchem emergency action code is then 3WE.

*1 “Water” here includes water based media. Grounds for answering “Yes” include the following: 

(i) SEVERE exothermic reaction causing a hazard to emergency workers which should be 

avoided, or 

(ii) A chemical reaction, the products of which increase the hazard, not immediately reduced by 

the continued application of water. 

(This question must be considered for fire or spillage). 

*2 This question segregates substances that are carried hot to maintain the solid in solution or as a 

melt, and would therefore rapidly solidify on cooling. 

*3 The use of jets on highly toxic, corrosive or environmentally sensitive material will spread it 

increasing the hazard to emergency workers or passers-by. 

*3a Answer YES if jets are essential for managing the risk. 

*4 Foam ‘3’ is applicable only to flammable liquids which are immiscible with water. For those that are 

less dense than water (density 1.1 is taken as the limit to allow for reduced density of the liquid 

when hot) foam is essential if risk of spread of fire is to be avoided, and its use is even more 

desirable with even less dense liquids of low flash point. Water spray on immiscible liquids which 

are denser than water is normally effective. 

*5 If significant quantities of organic peroxides are present the importance of applying water for cooling 

purposes outweighs that of applying foam to , immiscible flammable liquids which are less dense 

than water. Some Nitro-cellulose entries also come into this category. 

*6 Liquids that are miscible with water may be extinguished by dilution. It is, of course, more difficult 

the lower the flash point. On the other hand foams, other than alcohol resistant types (not usually 

carried by the public Fire Services) break down and are very inefficient on miscible liquids. Low 

flash point miscible liquids are notoriously difficult to extinguish by any medium. Water spray is 

likely to be the most readily available and plentiful medium for sustained application. A code of ‘2’ 

does not prohibit the use of special foams if sufficient is available. 

*7 The likelihood of, and problems associated with, fire involving a substantial liquid gas pool recede at 

low boiling points, and are less than the extreme hazards arising from over-heated pressure vessels 

(risk of BLEVE). The application of water spray in such a situation has priority.



*8 Substances coded ‘4’ must be kept dry and, therefore, should not be diluted. 

*9 Compressed non-liquefied gases, once escaped from their containers are best dispersed as quickly 

as possible by applying water spray. The same applies to gases liquefied by pressure alone, but 

with a low critical temperature, as a liquid pool is most unlikely to be sustained. In the cases of low 

temperature liquefied gases and pressure liquefied gases with higher critical temperatures a 

sustained liquid pool is a possibility. Dilution, or the application of water spray to such a pool, will 

greatly accelerate the boil-off rate, the desirability of which depends upon the assessment below of 

the properties of solubility, flammability and toxicity. 

*10 Any substance exerting a vapour pressure of less than 1 atmosphere absolute at ambient 

temperature will be treated as a liquid (or a solid). 

*11 The rate of absorption of the gas by the applied water spray must be greater than the boil-off rate, if 

hazards of toxicity and flammability are to be reduced by dilution. Anhydrous Ammonia, Anhydrous 

Hydrogen Chloride, and Ethylene Oxide are considered worthy of this treatment. 

*12 Non-soluble, toxic or flammable liquefied gases should be contained and allowed to evaporate 

slowly. Non-toxic, non-flammable liquefied gases should be quickly evaporated and dispersed by 

the application of water. 

*13 Regardless of any other consideration insoluble solids or liquids are not easily dispersed with water 

and may well block drains. The solubility limit takes account of the amount of water likely to be 

available to the Fire Service first attendance for dilution purposes. Insoluble substances are 

considered for dilution only if they react with water reasonably quickly, without increasing the 

hazard, to give products, all of which meet the solubility criterion. 

*14 The possibility of flammable or toxic vapours in sewers, and the possible effects on the following, 

must be considered: 

(i) micro-biological action in sewage works, 

(ii) aquatic life in water courses, 

LC50/EC50 < 100,000 mg/L - Contain 

> 100,000 mg/L - Dilute 

(iii) ground water, and 

(iv) industrial and domestic water supplies. 

However, the overriding consideration must be the protection of life of members of the public and 

emergency responders. 


*15 Full protection is required if the hazard to skin is more than can be safely met with normal fire 

uniform alone. 

*16 Substances not carried at ambient temperature are either hot liquids or gases liquefied by reduction 

in temperature. The hazards of heat burn and cold burn are presented respectively and should be 

met by the use of full protective clothing. Substances not carried at ambient pressure are normally 

gases, and those carried as a liquid under pressure may also present a cold burn hazard. 

*17 This formula uses readily available data and provides for breathing apparatus to be worn in an 

atmosphere containing toxic vapours likely to be at a level above the threshold limit value. It 

incorporates a large safety factor. Answer yes for toxic or corrosive dusts. 

*18 The breathing apparatus face mask provides eye protection. Lachrymators fall into this category. 

271

4 



*19 The ignition of a flammable vapour or gas cloud is considered a “violent reaction”. The risk exists 

for all flammable gases (UN criteria) and flammable liquids with a flash point below 60.5°C. 

*20 Substances which greatly intensify the fire or present a risk of sudden or violent reaction when in 

contact with fuels or carbonaceous material are considered to be “violently reactive”. 

*21 Violent heat of dilution, the evolution of flammable gases or the violent generation of large quantities 

of steam are considered to be “violent reactions”. 


*22 The immediate area is that area in which the emergency services operate, and within which a 

member of the public would not be allowed to remain in any case. Evacuation should be 

considered when a threat is presented to the safety of the public outside this area, i.e. from toxic or 

flammable gases/vapours or violent explosion, during a fire or spillage. Vapours from flammable 

liquids with flash points below 23°C are a particular hazard. Only GASES with a vapour density 

exceeding 2.5 are likely to be a risk if they are non-flammable and non-toxic.

APPENDIX 5—GOODS TOO DANGEROUS TO BE 

TRANSPORTED 

NOTES: 

(1) Appendix 5 lists a number of goods which are considered to be goods too dangerous to be 

transported. Refer to Note 10 of Appendix 2 as to how the alphabetical order of this list has been 

determined. 

(2) If an entry in this Appendix includes the expression ‘N.E.S.’, it refers to goods “not elsewhere 

specified”. In those cases, the goods named in this entry are also named in an entry in another 

Appendix. The entry in the other Appendix describes goods of that name that may be transported. 

For example, it may be possible to transport the goods after mixing them with diluents, stabilizers, 

inhibitors, desensitizers, phlegmatizers, solvents, wetting agents or adulterants to overcome the 

instability inherent in the goods. The entry in this Appendix refers to goods that do not meet the 

description specified in that other Appendix. 

(3) The list is not an exhaustive listing of goods too dangerous to be transported. 

(4) Under Regulation 1.18(g) of the Road Regulations and Rail Rules, the Competent Authority may 

determine that other goods are to be classified as goods too dangerous to be transported.

Explanation of Remarks in Column 7 of List Of Currently Assigned Self-Reactive Substances: 

(1) An azodicarbonamide formulation which posseses explosive properties and which, as packaged for 

transport, neither detonates nor deflagrates rapidly, but is liable to undergo thermal explosion in that 

package, shall also bear an ‘EXPLOSIVE’ Subsidiary Risk label. 

Such a substance may be packaged in amounts up to 25 kg unless the maximum quantity has to be 

limited to a lower amount to preclude detonation or rapid deflagration in the package. 

The control and emergency temperatures shall be determined by the procedure detailed in 7.1.4.2 to 

7.1.4.3.1.3 in the 10th revised edition of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous 

Goods. 

(2) ‘EXPLOSIVE’ Subsidiary Risk label required. 

(3) Azodicarbonamide formulations which posses explosive properties may be transported without an 

‘EXPLOSIVE’ Subsidiary Risk label when the substance as packaged (maximum 50 kg) for transport 

cannot detonate nor deflagrate rapidly nor undergo a thermal explosion. 

(4) Azodicarbonamide formulations which posses explosive properties may be transported without an 

‘EXPLOSIVE’ Subsidiary Risk label when the substance as packaged (maximum 50 kg) for transport 

cannot detonate nor deflagrate rapidly nor undergo a thermal explosion. 

The control and emergency temperatures must be determined by the procedures detailed in 7.1.4.2 to 



(5) An azodicarbonamide formulation which in laboratory testing: 

i) detonates partially, does not deflagrate rapidly and shows no violent effect when heated under 

confinement; or 

ii) does not detonate at all, deflagrates slowly and shows no violent effect when heated under 


iii) does not detonate or deflagrate at all and shows a medium effect when heated under confinement;

APPENDIX 7—LIST OF CURRENTLY ASSIGNED ORGANIC 

PEROXIDES 

NOTES: 

(1) A number of organic peroxides is listed by name in column 1 in the list which follows. Refer to Note 

10 of Appendix 2 as to how the alphabetical order in column 1 of this Appendix has been 

determined. 

(2) Organic Peroxides of that name in the concentration specified in column 2 and satisfying the 

provisions of Columns 3 to 9 (inclusive) and Column 11 where applicable are dangerous goods. 

(3) Column 3 sets out the percentage of Type A diluent applicable to certain organic peroxides. 

Diluents Type A are organic liquids which are compatible with the organic peroxide and which have 

a boiling point of not less than 150°C. Type A diluents may be used for desensitizing all organic 

peroxides. 

(4) Column 4 sets out the percentage of Type B diluent applicable to certain organic peroxides. 

Diluents Type B are organic liquids which are compatible with the organic peroxide and which have 

a boiling point of less than 150°C but not less than 60°C and a flash point of not less than 5°C . 

Type B diluents may be used for desensitization of all organic peroxides provided that the boiling 

point is at least 60C° higher than the SADT in a 50kg package. 

(5) Column 5 sets out the percentage of inert solid applicable to certain organic peroxides. 

(6) Column 6 sets out the percentage of water applicable to certain organic peroxides. 

(7) Column 7 specifies the packing method for each of the organic peroxides listed. The packing 

method begins with the letters “OP”. For information on how an organic peroxide is to be classified 

see Part III of the U.N. Recommendations, Manual of Tests and Criteria. For information on how 

the organic peroxide is to be packaged see Chapter 3 of this Code. 

For some organic peroxides the letter “N” appears in column 7. This indicates that the organic 

peroxide may be transported in bulk in an IBC. For further information on the type of IBC which 

may be used to transport that organic peroxide see Table 4.2 in Chapter 4, of this Code. 

For some organic peroxides the letter “M” appears in column 7. This indicates that the organic 

peroxide may be transported in bulk in a portable tank which meets the description of a “container” 

in the “International Convention for Safe Containers.”: A list of organic peroxides which may be 

transported in bulk in a portable tank is provided in Table 4.3 in Chapter 4 of this Code. 

(8) Column 8 specifies the control temperature for certain organic peroxides. The temperatures 

indicated for IBCs are based on a non-insulated IBC. Refer to Addendum I of this Appendix. 

(9) Column 9 specifies the emergency temperature for certain organic peroxides. The temperatures 

indicated for IBCs are based on a non-insulated IBC. Refer to Addendum I of this Appendix. 

(10) Column 10 specifies the UN Number applicable to the organic peroxide. 

(11) Column 11 references some qualifying remarks and obligations in relation to some of the entries. 

The remarks are set out at the end of the list.

ADDENDUM I TO APPENDIX 7: TEMPERATURE CONTROL REQUIREMENTS 

1 All organic peroxides should be protected from direct sunlight and all sources of heat and placed in 

adequately ventilated areas. Certain organic peroxides may only be transported under conditions 

where the temperature is controlled. 

2 The control temperature is the maximum temperature at which the organic peroxide can be safely 

transported. It is assumed that during transport the temperature of the immediate surroundings of 

the package does not exceed 55°C or if it does it occurs only during a relatively short time in each 

period of 24 hours. 

When a journey is to take place under conditions where this assumption may not be correct then 

organic peroxides, not normally temperature controlled, may require control. In the event of loss of 

temperature control, it may be necessary to implement emergency procedures. The emergency 

temperature is the temperature at which such procedures shall be implemented. 

3 The control and emergency temperatures are derived using the table in Addendum II of this 

Appendix from the self-accelerating decomposition temperature (SADT) which is defined as the 

lowest temperature at which self-accelerating decomposition may occur with a substance in the 

packaging as used in transport. An SADT shall be determined in order to decide if a substance 

shall be subject to temperature control during transport. Requirements for the determination of the 

SADT are given in Addendum II. 

4 All substances which exhibit violent self-accelerating decomposition when tested at 50°C shall be 

subject to temperature control during transport and their SADTs shall be determined. Substances 

to which Special Provision 181 applies shall be stable at 50°C for a least 168 hours under SADT 

test conditions to be acceptable for transport without temperature control. Otherwise, they shall be 

subject to temperature control during transport according to their SADTs. All other substances to 

which Special Provision 181 does not apply which show only mild self-accelerating decomposition at 

50°C shall be further tested at 45°C for a least 168 hours. Those which are unstable at this 

temperature shall be subject to temperature control and their SADTs shall be determined. 

5 Control and emergency temperatures, where appropriate for currently assigned organic peroxide 

formulations are given in this Appendix. The actual transport temperature may be lower than the 

control temperature but shall be selected so as to avoid dangerous separation of phases. 

ADDENDUM II TO APPENDIX 7 - DETERMINATION OF THE SELF-ACCELERATING DECOMPOSITION 

TEMPERATURE 

Test methods for determining the SADT are given in the current edition of the UN Recommendations: 

Test and Criteria, Part III. The test selected shall be conducted in a manner which is representative, both 

in size and material, of the package to be transported.

APPENDIX 8—LIST OF GENERIC OR N.O.S. PROPER 

SHIPPING NAMES 

NOTES 

(1) Substances or articles not mentioned specifically by name in Appendix 2, are covered by 

generic or N.O.S. entries and should be classified in accordance with Chapter 2 of the Code. 

Thus the name in Appendix 2 which most accurately describes the substance or article should 

be used as the Proper Shipping Name. The main generic entries and all the N.O.S. entries 

given in Appendix 2 are listed below in Column 4. Column 1 gives the Class, Column 2 gives 

the subsidiary risk(s), if any, and Column 3 gives the U.N. number, for the substance or article. 

This Proper Shipping Name should be supplemented by the technical name when Special 

Provision 274 (see Appendix 3) has been assigned to the entry (column 7 in Appendix 2 ) 

(2) In this list, generic and N.O.S. names are grouped according to their class. Within each class 

the names have been placed into one of five groups as follows: 

(i) Specific entries covering a group of substances or articles of a particular chemical or 

technical nature; 

(ii) Pesticide entries, for Class 3 and Class 6.1; 

(iii) General entries covering a group of substances or articles having one or more general 

dangerous properties; 

(iv) Refined Petroleum Products 

(v) A listing of substances which in the ADR and/or the IMDG may need to be considered for 

classification under UN3077 or UN3082 

THE MOST SPECIFIC APPLICABLE NAME SHOULD ALWAYS BE USED.

NOTES: 


APPENDIX 9—LIST OF COMMON PESTICIDES WITH 

CORRESPONDING UN NUMBERS 

(1) The table contains a list of common pesticides and a reference to the UN numbers assigned to the 

Proper Shipping Names that are relevant to the generic chemical group (e.g., organophosphorus 

pesticide) to which the particular pesticide belongs. Reference to Appendix 1 will readily elicit the 

Proper Shipping Name where the only reference is a U.N. number. The Proper Shipping Name 

used in the transport of the pesticide should be selected from those referenced on the basis of the 

active ingredient, of the physical state (i.e. liquid or solid) of the pesticide and any subsidiary risks 

the pesticide may exhibit. 

(2) It might be noted that some pesticides listed in this Appendix are obsolescent, if not obsolete, and 

are no longer used as pesticides, that others based on WHO data do not meet the classification 

criteria of class 6.1, that some substances are listed as pesticides by WHO and are specifically 

named in Appendices 1 and 2 and that other pesticides listed by WHO are not identified in this list 

even though they meet the classification criteria. 

(3) LD50 toxicity data for a number of common pesticides may be obtained from the most current 

edition of the document “ The WHO Recommended Classification of Pesticides by Hazard and 

Guidelines to Classification” available from your local Competent Authority While that document 

may be used as a source of LD50 data for pesticides, its classification system should not at this 

stage be relied upon for purposes of transport classification of, or assignment of Packing Groups to 

pesticides, which should be in accordance with the provisions of this Code. 

(4) Refer to Note 10 of Appendix 2 as to how the alphabetical order in the first column of this Appendix 

has been determined.
