Pls assist need to know the Segregation Code or Group for UN 1706 & UN 3082?
Terresa,
There is no UN no. 1706.
If it is UN 1760 then no segregation code/group is assigned.
UN 3082 is not assigned to any segregation code/group.
Please note IMDG Code 7.2.5.4 states
“The segregation groups in this Code do not cover substances which fall outside the classification criteria of this Code. It is recognized that some non-hazardous substances have similar chemical properties as substances listed in the segregation groups. A consignor or the person responsible for packing the goods into a cargo transport unit who does have knowledge of the chemical properties of such non-dangerous goods may decide to implement the segregation requirements of a related segregation group on a voluntary basis.”

Pls note CLASS: 8, UN NO: 1760, PG: II
Kindly advise Segregation Group
UN 1760 is not assigned to any segregation group.
However, please refer to IMDG Code 7.2.5.3
“It is recognized that not all substances, mixtures, solutions or preparations falling within a segregation group
are listed in the IMDG Code by name. These are shipped under N.O.S. entries. Although these N.O.S. entries
are not themselves listed in the segregation groups (see 3.1.4.4), the consignor shall decide whether inclusion
under the segregation group is appropriate and, if so, shall mention that fact in the transport document
(see 5.4.1.5.11).”
