Limited quantities (LQ) are an ADR exemption that lets dangerous goods packed in small inner packagings benefit from relaxed transport requirements. LQ consignments need the special LQ mark, and the quantity thresholds depend on the specific UN entry and are not the same for all goods.
Worth knowing
- LQ applies to small inner packagings, not large containers.
- The special LQ mark is required on packages or the unit.
- Quantity limits depend on the UN entry and the goods class.
- Above the limits, full ADR requirements apply.
LQ (limited quantities) is an ADR exemption for dangerous goods in small packagings, with simplified requirements and its own mark.
Always confirm specific limits against the UN entry and current ADR; this is general information, not legal advice. See services and destinations.
