V – Eurotunnel contact details

I – Introduction to Eurotunnel’s dangerous goods policy The Channel Tunnel has been designed to be one of the safest transport systems known to date. Eurotunnel’s dangerous goods policy is therefore intended to ensure the safety of its customers and staff, and the integrity of the Tunnel. This policy has been produced in close collaboration with industry and with relevant trade and professional bodies.

The carriage of dangerous goods through the Channel Tunnel must comply with ADR (Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road).

Dangerous goods definitions are subject to the current revision of the ADR regulations and Eurotunnel Freight will accept, restrict or refuse goods on the basis of these definitions. This dangerous goods policy has been decreed by a By-Law in the UK and an Arrêté Ministériel in France and forms an integral part of Eurotunnel’s Conditions of Carriage.

The carriage of dangerous goods must also comply with Eurotunnel’s own regulations as described on this website, which are more stringent than those in ADR, to reflect the specific safety characteristics of the Channel Tunnel infrastructure.

The carrier is responsible for ensuring that the goods being transported comply with these regulations. Declarations must be made using the current revision of ADR applicable at the time of travel, in one of the official languages of ADR – English, French or German. Furthermore, it is also the carrier’s responsibility to provide the compulsory documentation, including for vehicles travelling under the provisions of ADR chapter 1.1.3.6.

Dangerous goods being carried under the ADR Limited Quantity, Excepted Quantity or any other Special Provisions, which do not need documentation, do not need to be declared at Check-in. However, if these goods are declared, a full ADR declaration must be provided. Eurotunnel Freight reserves the right to authorise or refuse carriage of dangerous goods via Eurotunnel Freight, irrespective of their type, origin and / or destination. The Channel Tunnel has been designed to be one of the safest transport systems known to date.

IATA 2021 Manuals Updates (Dangerous Goods Regulations Ed. 62)

IATA 2021 Manuals Updates (Dangerous Goods Regulations Ed. 62)

Dangerous Goods manuals / Special Cargo manuals / Cargo Operations manuals / Ground Operations manuals

Every year, we update the IATA Manuals in order to stay up-to-date with the latest regulations and best practices. In order to comply with the new regulations and sustain the safe and efficient transport of air cargo, your editions need to be updated annually.

This year was an exceptional year with the pandemic, and it impacted the way air cargo and ground operations operate. For this reason, the new editions of the IATA Manuals now include COVID-19 specific content. The complete list of significant changes for each manual are detailed below.

Dangerous Goods manuals

Lithium Battery Shipping Guidelines (LBSG)
Revisions to special provisions A88 and A99 to require the approval of the authority of the State of the operator in addition to the authority of the State of origin. These special provisions address the approval for the transport of prototype lithium batteries that have not passed the UN 38.3 tests and approval for the transport of lithium cells or batteries that have a net mass exceeding 35 kg
Special provisions A88 and A99 have also been revised to identify that when lithium batteries are shipped in accordance with an approval that the packing instruction number shown on the Shipper’s Declaration must be PI 910 or PI 974, respectively
The format of the lithium battery mark has been revised to now be a square with minimum dimensions of 100 mm x 100 mm. This may be reduced to be not less than 100 mm x 70 mm where the size of the package prevents the application of the full size mark. The wording in the provisions for the application of the mark identifies that mark must be a square or rectangle, which permits the continued usage of the current mark which is 120 mm x 110 mm

Infections Shipping Substances Guidelines (ISSG)
Addition of a new entry and conditions for solid medical waste containing Category A pathogens
Update to identify that the mark in the diamond applied to packages containing biological substances, Category B (UN 3373) and genetically modified organisms and microorganisms (GMO, and GMMO) (UN 3245) must be applied on one side of the package
A change to renumber the packing instruction applicable to medical waste from PI 622 to become PI 621 to align to the number in the UN Model Regulations and to provide for a consistent PI for the new Category A waste. There is a 3-month transition provided during which time the old PI number may be used
