Class 3 dangerous goods excluding packing group 1 may be transported under which provisions?

• A. standard quantity and emergency quantity provisions
• B. special provision 123
• C. excepted quantity, limited quantity
• D. combined quantity provisions

Answer: (C)

When Class 3 flammable liquids are not in packing group I, small-quantity allowances let shipments move under simplified rules. The two applicable provisions are excepted quantity and limited quantity. Excepted quantity covers very small amounts that can be shipped with minimal packaging and without the full dangerous goods paperwork, as long as strict size and quantity limits are met. Limited quantity allows a bit more in a package, but still below defined thresholds, with proper labeling and reduced regulatory requirements. These options exist to safely simplify handling for small, low-risk amounts. The other options don’t fit this scenario: standard and emergency quantity provisions apply in different contexts or for different classes, special provision 123 is a specific exemption for certain substances, and combined quantity provisions aren’t the general regime for Class 3 PG II/III air shipments.
