What is Limited Quantity in ADR transport?
Limited Quantity is an ADR simplification for certain dangerous goods in limited quantities and suitable packaging.
Limited Quantity, abbreviated as LQ, means limited quantity and describes an ADR simplification for certain dangerous goods in small packaging units. Whether LQ is permitted depends on the specific dangerous goods and ADR requirements.
Key factors include the permitted quantity per inner packaging, suitable outer packaging and correct LQ marking. Typical examples may include aerosols, paints, varnishes, adhesives, cleaning agents or chemicals in small containers.
GLOBALSPED can organize international LQ shipments when the goods are correctly prepared, packaged, marked and labelled, and documented. The LQ classification must be provided by the sender in a traceable way.
