Many shops ship dangerous goods in limited quantities: cleaning products, paints, cosmetics. Fulfillment 4 weclapp decides per package whether the shipment may go as Limited Quantities and reports it to the carrier correctly. The duty to inform the carrier (ADR 3.4.12) and the LQ mark on the package stay with you. Back to the overview: Gefahrgut 4 weclapp.

How the app decides on LQ

  • Flag on the item: LQ only applies if all items with the same UN number in the package carry the LQ flag.
  • Quantity limits: The app checks the quantity per inner packaging against guideline values per class and packing group. Column 7a of the ADR table for your UN number remains decisive.
  • Density factor: The app converts limits in liters using the density in kilograms. Example: cleaning product of class 8, packing group II, 1.03 kg per bottle, density 1.03 g/ml. The limit of 1 liter corresponds to 1.03 kg, so the bottle may go out as LQ. Without the density factor it would have failed at the 1 kg limit. More on this: Net weight and density factor.
  • Package limit: at most 30 kg per package.
  • Excluded: Classes 1 and 7 never go as LQ.

LQ line items count as zero in the ADR points and 1000-point rule.

LQ per carrier

  • DPD: LQ shipments without a transport document.
  • Gebrüder Weiss: LQ is reported along with the shipment.
  • Dachser: LQ with your Dachser customer dangerous goods ID. Without an ID, the app reports the line item as full dangerous goods.
  • Kühne+Nagel: recognizes dangerous goods items automatically.
  • Österreichische Post: LQ only. The app aborts shipments with full dangerous goods before booking.
