Calculate ADR transport points for dangerous goods according to ADR 1.1.3.6. Find substances by UN number or name, view transport categories with multipliers, and check if your shipment qualifies for exemptions.
View transport categories (0–4) and their multipliers (50, 20, 3, 1) for accurate point calculation according to ADR 1.1.3.6. Each substance is assigned a category based on its hazard severity.
Calculate if your transport quantities fall within the 1,000-point exemption threshold. Below 1,000 points, certain ADR requirements like vehicle marking and driver certificates may be relaxed.
Access detailed hazard classifications, UN numbers, and safety requirements for each substance. Cross-reference with safety data sheets for complete compliance data.
ADR 1.1.3.6 assigns each dangerous good a transport category (0–4) based on hazard severity. The category determines the multiplier used to calculate transport points. Multiply the net quantity (kg or litres) by the multiplier to get the points for each substance.
| Category | Multiplier | Max Quantity | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 50 | 20 kg/L | Explosives, highly toxic gases |
| 1 | 20 | 50 kg/L | Toxic substances, organic peroxides |
| 2 | 3 | 333 kg/L | Flammable liquids, corrosives |
| 3 | 1 | 1,000 kg/L | Flammable solids, minor hazards |
| 4 | 0 | Unlimited | Limited quantity goods |
