3 in 1 Dangerous Goods Database & Exempt Quantity Calculator / Verifier

THIS SOFTWARE PRODUCES A PRINT OUT OF THE LOAD AND CAN BE USED TO LEGALLY ESTABLISH AND VERIFY THE LOAD STATUS REGARDING EXEMPT QUANTITIES AND CLASS COMPATIBILITY 

EC Logistics has produced a 3 in 1 Dangerous Goods Database which included search facility either via Alphabetical Name , UN Number or Hazard Class as well as the Provisions ( Rules ) for transport of each Hazardous substance. Due to it's popularity we have improved the Database to now also include a special function whereby you could list a load of products of differing UN Numbers , Class , Packing Group and quantity.

This tool will then determine if the load is compatible , calculate the load and determine if full compliance of legislation or not is required for transportation. ( This is known as the Load Constraints calculation ) Also included in the Database is a Hazard Class Compatibility Chart. Visit our section on this website supplying more details.

Please make an enquiry of the database price list via the Quick Enquiries facility above.
