34 Packing Groups
The Packing Group, if any, of a particular dangerous good for the purposes of these regulations is –
(a) if a determination is in force under regulation 22(1)(d) that the good is of a particular Packing Group, the Packing Group specified in the determination; or
(b) if no such determination is in effect, the Packing Group determined for the good in accordance with the ADG Code.
Note
The assignment of particular dangerous goods to a Packing Group indicates the degree of danger of, and the level of containment required for, the goods. The Packing Group of a substance can be determined from the Dangerous Goods List, although in some cases it is also necessary to refer to Chapter 3.3 of the ADG Code.
