How Are Dangerous Goods Classified?

Dangerous goods are classified using the ADR system, which assigns hazardous materials specific identifiers to ensure safe handling and transport. These include:

UN Number: A unique reference number for hazardous materials.
Proper Shipping Name: A standardised name to avoid confusion with brand names.
UN Classification: There are nine classifications for dangerous goods, each with its own symbol (explosives and radioactive materials excluded, as Rubo does not handle these).
Packaging Group: Three groups (I, II, III) that specify the packaging requirements for safe transport.

With this system, hazardous materials can be quickly identified, safely transported, and emergency response measures managed if needed.

Special Provisions for Hazardous Waste

When shipping hazardous waste, ADR 5.4.1.1.3 states that the word "WASTE" must appear before the Proper Shipping Name to ensure clarity and compliance.

What Are the UN Classifications?

There are nine UN classifications that describe the hazards associated with dangerous materials. Rubo handles all hazardous waste materials except for Class 1 (explosives) and Class 7 (radioactive materials). For further details, click on the pictograms below:
