    Column 2 Shipping Name and Description. This column gives the shipping names for the dangerous goods. Each shipping name is written in upper case letters (capitals) and any descriptive text is written in lower case letters. The word “or” between shipping names indicates that there is more than one shipping name for the dangerous goods and that each shipping name is correct. Any one of the shipping names may be used, for example, to complete a shipping document.
    Column 3 Class. This column gives the primary class for the dangerous goods. Any subsidiary class is shown in parentheses under the primary class. There is no priority between or among subsidiary classes.
    The word “Forbidden” in this column means that the dangerous goods must not be transported. Schedule 3 includes dangerous goods that are forbidden for transport but that do not have a UN number.
    Column 4 Packing Group/Category. This column gives the packing group or category for the dangerous goods.
    Column 5 Special Provisions. This column gives the numbers of the special provisions that apply to the dangerous goods. The special provisions are set out in Schedule 2.

    Explosive Limit and Limited Quantity Index. This column gives the maximum quantity of dangerous goods that may be offered for transport, handled or transported.

    The quantity limit is expressed in kilograms for solids, in litres for liquids and, for gases, as the capacity in litres of the means of containment. For Class 1, the quantity limit is expressed either in kilograms of net explosives quantity or, if the explosives are subject to special provision 85 or 86, in number of articles.
    Column 6(b) Excepted Quantity Index. This column provides an alphanumeric code, set out in the table to subsection 1.17.1(2) of Part 1 (Coming into Force, Repeal, Interpretation, General Provisions and Special Cases) that indicates the maximum quantity of dangerous goods that may be handled, offered for transport or transported in accordance with section 1.17.1 of Part 1 (Coming into Force, Repeal, Interpretation, General Provisions and Special Cases), in the case of dangerous goods included in any of Classes 2 to 9.
    Column 7 ERAP Index. This column gives the quantity above which an approved ERAP is required in accordance with section 7.1 of Part 7 (Emergency Response Assistance Plan).
    The quantity is expressed in kilograms for solids, in litres for liquids, and, for gases, as the capacity in litres of the means of containment. For Class 1, Explosives, the quantity is expressed either in kilograms of net explosives quantity or, if the explosives are subject to special provision 85 or 86, number of articles.
    For dangerous goods included in Class 3, Flammable Liquids, with the UN number UN1170, UN1202, UN1203, UN1267, UN1268, UN1863, UN1987, UN1993, UN3295, UN3475 or UN3494, see paragraph 7.2(1)(f) of Part 7 (Emergency Response Assistance Plan), which sets out the ERAP requirements for those dangerous goods. For Class 6.2, Infectious Substances, see paragraph 7.2(1)(g) of Part 7 (Emergency Response Assistance Plan), which sets out the ERAP requirements for certain human pathogens.
    The quantity applies to the row in this Schedule in which it appears. For example, UN1986 may require an ERAP for Packing Group I but not for Packing Group II or III.
    If no index is shown, an ERAP is not required unless the dangerous goods are subject to special provision 84 or 150.
    Column 8 Passenger Carrying Vessel Index. This column gives the maximum quantity of dangerous goods that may be transported, per means of containment, on board a passenger carrying vessel. The quantity limit is expressed in kilograms for solids, in litres for liquids, and, for gases, as the capacity in litres of the means of containment. For Class 1, Explosives, the quantity is expressed either in kilograms of net explosives quantity or, if the explosives are subject to special provision 85 or 86, in number of articles. There may be special stowage requirements or restrictions for some of these dangerous goods, and the consignor should contact the marine carrier for more information.
    The word “Forbidden” in this column means that the dangerous goods must not be transported in any quantity on board a passenger carrying vessel.
    Column 9 Passenger Carrying Road Vehicle or Passenger Carrying Railway Vehicle Index. This column gives the maximum quantity of dangerous goods that may be transported, per means of containment, on board a passenger carrying road vehicle or a passenger carrying railway vehicle. The quantity limit is expressed in kilograms for solids, in litres for liquids, and, for gases, as the capacity in litres of the means of containment.
