The below extract is taken from Section 4.1 of DVSA’s GV262 guidance:
Drivers who have been issued with a driver card are committing an offence if they are unable to produce this during a roadside inspection, even if they only drive analogue tachograph-equipped vehicles.
Q) We have been asked to transport a small quantity of UN0454 Igniters in a small box weighing 1.5 grams for a school. The packaging is UN Approved. What do we require to be able to move it?
A) UN0454 is a class 1.4S, which is an explosive, but it falls under Transport category 4 in the Small Loads exemption in table 1.1.3.6 of ADR. This means that you can carry an unlimited amount of UN0454. Requirements for the driver and vehicle are:
The driver would require driver awareness training and the vehicle would require a 2kg dry powder fire extinguisher. There are no requirements for ADR markings to be displayed on the vehicle for the quantity carried. A dangerous goods note would also be required.
