A Brief Analysis: Guidelines for Road Transport of Dangerous Goods Packed in EQ and LQ

On November 10, 2019, the long-awaited the Measures for Safety Administration of Road Transport of Dangerous Goods was introduced and set to take effect on January 1, 2020. It officially grants exemption to dangerous goods packed in limited quantities (LQ) and excepted quantities (EQ), by stating that “dangerous goods can be transported as general goods if the number of packages of dangerous goods packed in EQ does not exceed 1000, or the gross mass (packages included) of dangerous goods packed in LQ carried does not exceed 8 tons per transport unit”.
