What people ask before loading dangerous goods without orange plates.
What is the ADR 1.1.3.6 exemption?
It is the exemption by quantities carried per transport unit. If the sum of the quantities multiplied by the factor of their transport category does not exceed 1,000, the transport is exempt from a good part of the ADR (for example, the orange plates and the driver's ADR certificate), although other obligations still apply, such as the transport document, basic training and the fire extinguisher.
How are ADR points calculated?
For each good: quantity × the multiplier of its transport category (category 1 × 50, category 2 × 3, category 3 × 1, category 4 × 0). All the goods in the transport unit are added up and the total cannot exceed 1,000 (ADR 1.1.3.6.4). If any good is category 0, the exemption does not apply.
Which quantity do I enter: kg or litres?
The one set by 1.1.3.6.3: net mass in kg for solids, liquefied gases and dissolved gases; volume in litres for liquids; nominal capacity of the receptacle in litres for compressed gases; gross mass in kg for articles. The calculator does not convert units: it adds up the figure you enter.
Do goods in limited quantities count?
No. Goods carried in limited quantities (ADR 3.4) or excepted quantities (3.5) add no points for 1.1.3.6.
Where do the transport categories come from?
From column (15) of Table A of ADR 2025, extracted from the official Spanish text published in the BOE (Spain's Official State Gazette) of 3 January 2025 (BOE-A-2025-77). There are 2,937 entries and 2,345 UN numbers.
What must the transport document contain if I apply 1.1.3.6?
Besides the description of each good (UN, proper shipping name, labels, packing group and tunnel code), the total quantity and the calculated value for each transport category (ADR 5.4.1.1.1 f, note 1). Cofactu's consignment note (carta de porte) adds it automatically when you pick the good from Table A.
Does the calculator replace the safety adviser?
No. It does the 1.1.3.6 sum with the data you enter. Classifying the goods and the other conditions of the exemption are the consignor's responsibility and, where applicable, that of their safety adviser.
