Transporting Aerosols without Segregation

The "Land Transport Rule: Dangerous Goods 2005" outlines the requirements for transporting Aerosols with other classes without segregation.

In Section 6.3 Requirements for segregation by class or division of dangerous goods:

6.3(4) Aerosol canisters with a water capacity of one litre or less may be transported without segregation from other dangerous goods of all classes and divisions or from food items, except as follows:

1. aerosols must not be transported on the same vehicle as dangerous goods of Class 1 not specified in 2.5; and
2. aerosols must not be transported in the same packaging as dangerous goods of Class 1; and
3. aerosols with a subsidiary risk of Division 6.1 or Class 8 must not be transported in the same packaging as food items.

99% of aerosols supplied and transported by or on behalf of Linkup Paint Supplies fall under UN1950. Each canister is under 1 litre in capacity — most are 400mL, with the largest approximately 750mL — allowing for transport alongside other classes without segregation requirements.
