General Provisions
Subsections 1.5(4) and 1.6(2) refer to a conflict between provisions. A conflict is not the same as a difference. There is a difference between two provisions if they are not exactly the same but both can be satisfied at the same time. There is a conflict between two provisions if it is impossible for both provisions to be satisfied at the same time.

For example,
if Provision A requires a tank wall to exceed 1 mm in thickness and Provision B requires the same tank wall to exceed 2 mm in thickness, there is a difference between the two provisions but there is no conflict because both provisions can be satisfied at the same time if the tank wall exceeds 2 mm in thickness.

However,
if Provision A prohibits a tank wall from exceeding 1 mm in thickness and Provision B requires the same tank wall to exceed 2 mm in thickness, there is a conflict between the two provisions because it is impossible for the tank wall to be less than or equal to 1 mm in thickness while at the same time exceeding 2 mm in thickness.

1.17 Limited QuantitiesSubsection
(1) establishes the concept of a limited quantity of dangerous goods. Note that it is established in terms of a consignment, that is, a consignment of dangerous goods is a limited quantity if the conditions in this section are met.

Subsection (2) provides an exemption for a limited quantity.

Subsection (3) provides an exemption for an accumulation of more than one limited quantity. However, there are conditions. For example, the means of containment containing the dangerous goods must be marked. Also, when an accumulation of dangerous goods exceeds 500 kg gross mass and is offered for transport by one consignor to one destination, the dangerous goods must be accompanied by a document.

(1) A consignment of dangerous goods, other than explosives, is a limited quantity if
(a) the consignment is contained in a means of containment that has a gross mass less than or equal to 30 kg and is designed, constructed, filled, closed, secured and maintained so that under normal conditions of transport, including handling, there will be no accidental release of the dangerous goods that could endanger public safety; and
(b) the dangerous goods
(i) if a solid, have a mass that is less than or equal to the number shown for them in column 6 of Schedule 1 when that number is expressed in kilograms,
(ii) if a liquid, have a volume that is less than or equal to the number shown for them in column 6 of Schedule 1 when that number is expressed in litres, or
(iii) if a gas, including a gas in a liquefied form, are contained in a means of containment that has a water capacity less than or equal to the number shown for them in column 6 of Schedule 1 when that number is expressed in litres.

(2) These Regulations do not apply to a limited quantity of dangerous goods in transport on a road vehicle, a railway vehicle or a ship on a domestic voyage if the means of containment is marked on one side, other than the side on which it is intended to rest or to be stacked during transport, with the words "Limited Quantity" or "quantité limitée", the abbreviation "Ltd. Qty." or "quant. ltée" or the words "Consumer Commodity" or "bien de consommation" and the words are legible and displayed against a background of contrasting colour.

(3) These Regulations do not apply to an accumulation of limited quantities of dangerous goods in transport on a road vehicle, a railway vehicle or a ship on a domestic voyage if the limited quantities are in one or more means of containment, each of which is marked on one side, other than the side on which it is intended to rest or to be stacked during transport, with the words "Limited Quantity" or "quantité limitée", the abbreviation "Ltd. Qty." or "quant. ltée" or the words "Consumer Commodity" or "bien de consommation" and the words are legible and displayed against a background of contrasting colour.

(4) When a limited quantity is in a means of containment that is inside another means of containment that has a gross mass less than or equal to 30 kg and the outer means of containment is marked in accordance with subsection (2) or (3), the inside means of containment is considered to be marked in accordance with that subsection.

(5) When the gross mass of an accumulation of limited quantities offered for transport by one consignor to one destination is greater than 500 kg, the consignor must give to the carrier a document that includes the words "Limited Quantity" or "quantité limitée", the abbreviation "Ltd. Qty." or "quant. ltée" or the words "Consumer Commodity" or "bien de consommation". This section does not differentiate between limited quantities and consumer commodities for domestic transport by road, rail or ship. However, consignors need to comply with the requirements for international ship transport in Part 11, Marine, and with the requirements for domestic and international transport by air in Part 12, Air. If a means of containment is marked "Consumer Commodity" and is transported to the United States, the consignor needs to comply with the definition of "Consumer Commodity" in 49 CFR.
