Objective of the Rule
Land Transport Rule: Dangerous Goods Amendment 2010 amends Land Transport Rule: Dangerous Goods 2005 (the Dangerous Goods Rule), which sets out requirements for the safe transport of dangerous goods on land in New Zealand. The Dangerous Goods Rule covers the packaging, identification and documentation of dangerous goods, the segregation of incompatible goods, transport procedures and the training and responsibilities of those involved in the transport of dangerous goods.
The objective of the amendment Rule is to ensure that the risk to land transport safety from the transporting of dangerous goods within New Zealand continues to be effectively managed by maintaining alignment with international recommendations and local requirements relating to hazardous substances.
In seeking to meet its objective, the amendment Rule:
- takes account of the inclusion in the United Nations Recommendations for the Transport of Dangerous Goods – Model Regulations (UNRTDG) of provisions for substances that are toxic to the aquatic environment, resulting from the United Nations decision to promote a sustainable environment;
- ensures that the Dangerous Goods Rule is consistent with current requirements in the UNRTDG and the New Zealand Hazardous Substances and New Organisms Act 1996;
- includes provision for dangerous goods in excepted quantities as introduced in the 15th revised edition of the UNRTDG;
- clarifies or modifies existing provisions in the Dangerous Goods Rule for the purpose of aiding compliance.
Extent of consultation
Formal consultation on the draft amendment Rule began in February 2009 when the NZ Transport Agency released the public consultation (yellow) draft of the Rule for comment. The NZ Transport Agency sent a letter or emailed advice about the availability of the yellow draft to about 690 groups and individuals who had registered their interest in the Dangerous Goods Rule. The availability of the draft amendment Rule was publicised in the metropolitan daily newspapers in Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin, and in the New Zealand Gazette.
The NZ Transport Agency received 19 submissions on the draft amendment Rule. The submissions were taken into account in redrafting the amendment Rule before it was submitted to Cabinet, and then signed by the Minister of Transport.

Documents that are ‘incorporated by reference’ in the Dangerous Goods Rule are available, on request, for inspection (free of charge) at the National Office of the NZ Transport Agency. Contact details for the NZ Transport Agency are listed at the front of the amendment Rule.

Note: Some entries are subject to Special Provisions that modify the requirements for transport. In some cases the Special Provisions may specify additional controls or exclude the dangerous goods from transport controls. | |||
§ Not subject to controls for transport of dangerous goods on land or by air, but controls may apply for transport by sea. | |||
† Not subject to controls for transport of dangerous goods on land or by sea, but controls may apply for transport by air. | |||
* Note: Quantity is stated in grams for solids, milliliters for liquids and milliliters water capacity of the container for gases. | |||
+ Note: When dangerous goods with different quantity limits are packaged together, the quantity for the outer packaging is limited to the most restrictive quantity. |
PART B TESTS FOR PACKAGING FOR DANGEROUS GOODS IN EXCEPTED QUANTITIES
- 1 The complete package, as prepared for transport, must be able to withstand the tests in paragraphs 4 and 5 without any inner packaging breaking or leaking and without significant reduction in the effectiveness of the packaging.
- 2 The tests in paragraphs 4 and 5 may be carried out by any reasonable means and must be documented.
- 3 Inner packages must be prepared for the tests in paragraphs 4 and 5 as follows:
- (a) inner packagings for solids must be filled to 95% or more of their capacity; and
- (b) inner packagings for liquids must be filled to 98% or more of their capacity; and
- (c) subject to paragraphs (d) and (e), a substance other than the one to be transported may be used for the purposes of testing except where this would invalidate the results of the tests; and
- (d) when another substance is used for the packaging tests for solids, it must have the same physical characteristics (mass, grain size, etc) as the substance to be transported; and
- (e) when another substance is used for the packaging tests for liquids, it must have a similar relative density and viscosity to those of the substance to be transported.
- 4 The complete package, as prepared for transport, must be dropped from a height of 1.8 m onto a rigid, non-resilient, flat and horizontal surface as follows:
- (a) a package in the shape of a box must be dropped in each of the following attitudes:
- (i) flat on the base;
- (ii) flat on the top;
- (iii) flat on the longest side;
- (iv) flat on the shortest side;
- (v) on a corner; and
- (b) a package in the shape of a drum must be dropped in each of the following attitudes:
- (i) diagonally on the top chime, with the centre of gravity directly above the point of impact;
- (ii) diagonally on the base chime, with the centre of gravity directly above the point of impact;
- (iii) flat on the side.
- [Note: Each drop may be performed on different, but identical packages.]
- (a) a package in the shape of a box must be dropped in each of the following attitudes:
- 5 The complete package, as prepared for transport, must have a force applied to its top surface for a period of 24 hours, equivalent to the weight of identical packages stacked to a height of 3 m, including the test package.
PART C EXCEPTED QUANTITIES MARK:
Minimum dimensions of ‘Excepted Quantities Mark’: 100 mm x 100 mm, printed in black or red on a contrasting background.
- * Space for the class or division of all dangerous goods in excepted quantities in the package.
- ** Space for the name of the consignor or consignee, if not shown elsewhere on the package.”
