Traditionally, many manufacturers have referred to salvage drums as “overpacks.” So the industry has
become more familiar with the term overpack than salvage drum and believes that all overpacks must
be salvage drums. This is an incorrect assumption. Recently some manufacturers have been
offering drums that look like salvage drums but refer to them as “overpacks.” Unless your employees
or buyers are very sophisticated on the differences between overpacks and salvage drums under
DOT regulations, they may unwittingly purchase these overpacks believing they are buying drums
they can use for salvage drum applications. If overpacks that look like salvage drums cost less than
salvage drums that could be the first tip that the overpack may not meet the performance standard of
a salvage drum.

As the correct packaging is crucial for the safe transport of dangerous goods, the UN Model Dangerous Goods Regulations offers a global system for the packaging of substances for the purpose of transport. This system includes a list of UN packing groups for dangerous goods classes and divisions, as well as specific packing instructions for that substance.
Identifying the UN packing group (and adhering to the required packaging instructions) of your substances enables you to ensure the safe transport of dangerous goods across Australia and the globe.
How to Assign UN Packing Group?
There are three different packing groups, each representing a specific degree of danger. The 3 UN packing groups are:
Packing Group I: Substances presenting high danger
Packing Group II: Substances presenting medium danger
Packing Group III: Substances presenting low danger
But how do you assign a packing group to your dangerous goods?
To understand the packing group of your dangerous goods, you must first refer to the safety data sheet of your substances. This will inform you of the dangerous goods class or subdivision of your chemicals.
You can then refer to the Australian Dangerous for the Transport of Dangerous Goods by Road & Rail (ADG) Code to learn more about the assignment of packing groups for each dangerous goods class and subdivision.
