34 Packing Groups

The Packing Group, if any, of particular dangerous goods for the purposes of this Regulation is—

(a) if a determination under section 22(1)(d) that the goods are of a particular Packing Group is in effect—the Packing Group specified in the determination, or

(b) otherwise—the Packing Group determined for the goods in accordance with the ADG Code.

Note—

The assignment of particular dangerous goods to a Packing Group indicates the degree of danger, and the level of containment required for, the goods. The Packing Groups, and the degree of danger they indicate, are—

(a) Packing Group I—substances presenting high danger, and

(b) Packing Group II—substances presenting medium danger, and

(c) Packing Group III—substances presenting low danger.

The Packing Group of a substance may be determined from the Dangerous Goods List, although the List may identify instances in which it is also necessary to refer to Chapter 3.3 of the ADG Code.
