33 Subsidiary hazard

The subsidiary hazard, if any, of a particular dangerous good for the purpose of these regulations is –

(a) if a determination is in effect under regulation 22(1)(c) that the good has a particular subsidiary hazard, the subsidiary hazard specified in the determination; or

(b) if there is no such determination, the subsidiary hazard determined for the good in accordance with the ADG Code.

Note

Dangerous goods that are able to be assigned to more than one UN Class or UN Division are assigned a subsidiary hazard. This subsidiary hazard is the other UN Class/es or UN Division/s to which the goods also belong. Under the ADG Code, if particular dangerous goods are listed in the Dangerous Goods List, their subsidiary hazard is that listed in column 4 of that list opposite the name and description of those goods unless Chapter 3.3 of that Code provides for those goods to be assigned a different subsidiary hazard.
