      Using hazardous materials in Shippingbo

       

      Once you have added all of the information on hazardous materials on Shippingbo, they will be linked to your designated products. This implies that when a product containing hazardous materials is shipped, a document containing all of the information will be added to your packing slip.The document includes a summary of the hazardous materials contained in the shipping. 

      Each hazardous material (n° ONU) is assigned to a category (column 15 of the tab A of the ADR). There are 5 different categories that each define a maximum quantity allowed in on e vehicle : 

      • Category 0 = forbidden

      • Category 1 = 20 litres or kg (50 kg for some products)

      • Category 2 = 333 litres or kg

      • Category 3 = 1000 litres or kg

      • Category 4 = unlimited (also takes into account empty and not cleaned packages that have contained a product with a category 1, 2 or 3). This one is not taken into account in Shippingbo.  

       

      If the value that is calculated (quantity x coefficient) exceeds a certain threshold,it will be mentioned at the bottom of the document so you can assure that the vehicle transporting it is equipped accordingly.
