Description
Excepted Quantity Label – Small quantities of dangerous goods may be shipped with reduced requirements if labelled as Excepted Quantities. “Excepted quantities” (EQ) is a relatively new concept for land transport of dangerous goods. It has been commonly used in air transport but new rules now facilitate the road (and rail) transport elements of a journey that includes air mode. It is, though, also a standalone provision, and gives consignors an alternative for many dangerous goods.
