Special Cases
The following sections, and some of the special provisions included in Schedule 2, Special Provisions, provide an exemption for dangerous goods that are "in transport". Such an exemption extends to handling, offering for transport and to the means of containment used. In section 1.15, for example, a shipping document is not required when the dangerous goods are in transport. Consequently, the consignor would not be required to prepare a shipping document before the dangerous goods are placed in transport.
1.15 Exemption for Personal Use
(1) These Regulations do not apply to dangerous goods in transport on a road vehicle, a railway vehicle or a ship on a domestic voyage, if the dangerous goods
- (a) are transported between
- (i) a retail outlet and the residence of the purchaser,
- (ii) a retail outlet and the purchaser's place of use,
- (iii) the residence of the purchaser and a place of use, or
- (iv) two residences;
- (b) are contained in one or more means of containment each of which has a gross mass less than or equal to 30 kg and is designed, constructed, filled, closed, secured and maintained so that under normal conditions of transport, including handling, there will be no accidental release of dangerous goods that could endanger public safety;
- (c) are not for resale or for commercial or industrial use; and
- (d) are in a quantity and concentration available to the general public at retail outlets.
- Examples of retail outlets are hardware stores, automotive industry stores, pool supply stores and farm co-ops.
