What is the tunnel code of UN 3499?

E: Carriage is forbidden in category E tunnels.

What is the limited quantity (LQ) for UN 3499?

In the ADR Check data, the LQ limit for UN 3499 is 0 per inner packaging.

UN 3499: CAPACITOR, ELECTRIC DOUBLE LAYER

UN 3499 (CAPACITOR, ELECTRIC DOUBLE LAYER) belongs to ADR class 9 (Miscellaneous dangerous substances and articles). Tunnel restriction code: E.

Class: 9Miscellaneous dangerous substances and articles
Classification code: M11
Warning labels: 9
Hazard identification number (Kemler)The first digit is the main hazard (2 gas, 3 flammable liquid, 4 flammable solid, 5 oxidising, 6 toxic, 8 corrosive, 9 miscellaneous), the next digits are additional hazards, a repeated digit (e.g. 33) means an intensified hazard, an X before the number means a dangerous reaction with water.: not in the data
Tunnel restriction code: E: Carriage is forbidden in category E tunnels.
Transport categoryThe transport category (0 to 4) sets the multiplier: according to ADR Check, category 1: multiplier 50, category 2: multiplier 3, category 3: multiplier 1, category 4: multiplier 0 (no limit), and category 0 means the exemption does not apply. Points are the net quantity (kg or L) times the multiplier.: 4
Multiplier for the 1000-point limitPoints are the net quantity (kg or L) times the multiplier; a load total not exceeding 1000 points falls within the ADR 1.1.3.6 exemption.: 0
Limited quantity (LQ)The largest quantity per inner packaging for which carriage can use the limited-quantity rules.: 0
Excepted quantity (EQ)A code indicating the limits for excepted quantities; its content is given in the text of ADR.: E0
Packing instructionsPacking instruction codes (e.g. P, IBC, R) indicate which packagings are permitted.: P003

The content of the packing codes and the carriage provisions is in ADR, chapters 4.1 and 7.

Special provisions

361: This entry applies to electric double layer capacitors with an energy storage capacity greater than 0.3 Wh.
Show the full provision
Capacitors with an energy storage capacity of 0.3 Wh or less are not subject to ADR. Energy storage capacity means the energy held by a capacitor, as calculated using the nominal voltage and capacitance. All capacitors to which this entry applies, including capacitors containing an electrolyte that does not meet the classification criteria of any class of dangerous goods, shall meet the following conditions: (a) Capacitors not installed in equipment shall be carried in an uncharged state. Capacitors installed in equipment shall be carried either in an uncharged state or protected against short circuit; (b) Each capacitor shall be protected against a potential short circuit hazard in carriage as follows: (i) When a capacitor's energy storage capacity is less than or equal to 10 Wh or when the energy storage capacity of each capacitor in a module is less than or equal to 10 Wh, the capacitor or module shall be protected against short circuit or be fitted with a metal strap connecting the terminals; and (ii) When the energy storage capacity of a capacitor or a capacitor in a module is more than 10 Wh, the capacitor or module shall be fitted with a metal strap connecting the terminals; (c) Capacitors containing dangerous goods shall be designed to withstand a 95 kPa pressure differential; (d) Capacitors shall be designed and constructed to safely relieve pressure that may build up in use, through a vent or a weak point in the capacitor casing. Any liquid which is released upon venting shall be contained by the packaging or by the equipment in which a capacitor is installed; and (e) Capacitors shall be marked with the energy storage capacity in Wh. Capacitors containing an electrolyte not meeting the classification criteria of any class of dangerous goods, including when installed in equipment, are not subject to other provisions of ADR. Capacitors containing an electrolyte meeting the classification criteria of any class of dangerous goods, with an energy storage capacity of 10 Wh or less are not subject to other provisions of ADR when they are capable of withstanding a 1.2 metre drop test unpackaged on an unyielding surface without loss of contents. Capacitors containing an electrolyte meeting the classification criteria of any class of dangerous goods that are not installed in equipment and with an energy storage capacity of more than 10 Wh are subject to ADR. Capacitors installed in equipment and containing an electrolyte meeting the classification criteria of any class of dangerous goods, are not subject to other provisions of ADR provided the equipment is packaged in a strong outer packaging constructed of suitable material, and of adequate strength and design in relation to the packaging's intended use and in such a manner as to prevent accidental functioning of capacitors during carriage. Large robust equipment containing capacitors may be offered for carriage unpackaged or on pallets when capacitors are afforded equivalent protection by the equipment in which they are contained. NOTE: Capacitors which by design maintain a terminal voltage (e.g. asymmetrical capacitors) do not belong to this entry.
