Gefahrgut 4 weclapp

Calculate ADR points automatically from weclapp

Net weight per substance times the factor from the dangerous goods database. The result appears in the transport document.

The 1,000-point rule under ADR 1.1.3.6 decides which exemptions apply to a transport. Adding up points by hand from data sheets is error-prone. Fulfillment 4 weclapp calculates the points total of every dangerous goods shipment from your weclapp item data and writes it into the transport document, with DPD, Gebrüder Weiss and Dachser.

How the app calculates

Why net rather than gross counts and where the density factor applies: Net weight and density factor.

01

Quantity per substance

Net weight of the weclapp item times quantity in the package, grouped by UN number. If the same item appears in several bill of materials line items, it counts only once.

02

Factor

The points factor comes from the DPD dangerous goods database for the UN number; you do not maintain it yourself.

03

LQ does not count

Line items shipped as Limited Quantities enter the total with zero points.

04

Note

The points total and the matching exemption note are suggested in the transport document. Check the note before shipping.

What remains despite the exemption

Even below the threshold, not all obligations fall away. Whether your transport is exempt is your call; the app supplies the number.

Marking and labelling

You apply the marking and labelling of the packages.

Training

Everyone involved still needs to be trained.

Frequently asked questions

Does gross or net count?

The app calculates with the net weight from the weclapp item times quantity, not with the gross weight of the package. If the net weight on the item is empty, the item counts as zero. So always maintain it.

Does the app calculate in liters or kilograms?

In kilograms, from the net weight in weclapp. For liquids, the ADR uses the quantity in liters. For liquids with a density below 1 g/ml, the number of liters is higher than the weight. If you ship a lot of them, double-check the total or talk to us.

Does the 1,000-point rule also apply with a parcel carrier?

The rule refers to the transport unit, meaning the vehicle. With a parcel carrier, only the carrier knows the whole load. The app calculates the points of your shipment and writes them into the transport document so that they can be taken into account there.
