Fortitude21 Dangerous Goods Tools

Look up a dangerous goods UN number (or substance name) in ADR 2025 Table A and its packing instructions. Returns class, packing group, limited quantity, UN mark level and, for each container type (jerrican, drum, IBC, composite), the UN codes allowed and the largest size in litres. Covers 72 UN numbers of liquids.

Read a UN packaging mark part by part (packaging code, performance level, density or gross mass, test pressure, year, state, maker; IBC, large packaging, salvage and reconditioned marks too). Add a UN number to check whether the container may carry that substance under ADR 2025.

Work out an IBC's next leakproofness test, 2.5-year and 5-year inspections, the last month it may be filled and (UN/ADR, plastic and composite IBCs) the end of its five-year life. Dates as MM/YYYY, "March 2024" or YYYY-MM.

Total the ADR 1.1.3.6 points for a vehicle load and say whether it stays within the small-load exemption (1,000 points, or the quantity limit for one transport category), and what still applies. Covers 92 UN numbers. If any line cannot be read the whole load is refused, never totalled without it.
