Explanatory Note
This certificate authorizes the certificate holder to transport dangerous goods,
which are intended for disposal, recycling or any other reclamation process.
These dangerous goods are included in primary classes 2.1, 2.2 or 3 only, and
are in their original means of containment, as purchased by the retail consumer.
Moreover, this certificate authorizes the use of the most appropriate generic
shipping name to designate the dangerous goods contained in the outer means
of containment.
This Equivalency Certificate also authorizes the certificate holder to transport
empty means of containment, without removing the dangerous goods safety
marks, from the disposal site, to a drop-off facility at public locations, when they
follow the conditions outlined in this certificate. Due to the “drop-off” nature of
the service provided by the applicant, it is reasonable to expect that at any given
time the means of containment would be marked with the appropriate safety
marks while remaining empty.
