Schedule 1

• Col. 1 of Schedule 1, lists all the regulated Dangerous Goods in Numerical order by UN Number
• Col. 2 gives the Shipping Name of the Dangerous Goods in upper case letters (capitals). Any descriptive text is written in lower case letters.
  *Note* the descriptive text in lower case letters does not need to be included on  shipping papers and packages. However, it is not incorrect if it has been indicated by the shipper.

• Col. 3 gives the primary class with any subsidiary class(es) shown in parentheses. This column can also be used as a guide indicating what labels must be affixed to the package.
• Col. 4 gives the packing group(s) for the dangerous good. Class 2, Gases, does not have packing groups.
• Col. 5 gives the special provision (Found in Schedule 2) that pertains to the dangerous goods, i.e., SP 16 (appears with most N.O.S. shipping names) requires that the technical name of the most dangerous substance related to the primary class be shown in parenthesis on shipping document and on the package following the shipping name.

  For example:Fuel system treatment (for automobiles) cannot be found by name in the List. Since it is a mixture of CYCLOHEXANE and KEROSENE (both different flammable liquids), the manufacture may classify it as:
  FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS, N.O.S. (CYCLOHEXANE)
  BE SURE TO ALWAYS CHECK THE APPLICABLE SPECIAL PROVISIONS IN SCHEDULE 2 WHEN THEY APPEAR IN COLUMN 5
  

• Col. 6
  • 6(a) gives the quantity in either kg or L (depending on the physical state of the substance) for each inner container of dangerous goods transported as a Limited Quantity or Consumer Commodity shipment under TDGR Section 1.17
    *Note*  The quantity permitted decreases with the lower packing Group value.
  • 6(b) Provides the Excepted Qty code set out in the table to subsection 1.17.1(2) in accordance with 1.17.1.
• Col. 7 gives the ERAP (emergency response assistance plan) quantity limit above which the dangerous goods to be transported must have an approved ERAP filled with Transport Canada.
• The quantity limit is expressed as kilograms or litres for solids and liquids, and for gases as the water capacity of the means of containment. For Class 1, Explosives, the quantity is expressed as kilograms of the net explosive quantity.
• The ERAP quantity limit applies to the row on which it appears.
  1. For example:
     UN 3283 SELENIUM COMPOUND, N.O.S. May require an ERAP for Packing Group I but not for Packing Group II or III.
• If no index number is shown in column 7 then no ERAP is needed.
