LQ UN (Roll of 100 Labels) - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

These labels are specialised markings used to indicate Limited Quantity shipments of hazardous materials that comply with United Nations (UN) regulations for transportation. These labels signify that the package contains dangerous goods in small amounts, allowing for simplified handling, packaging, and documentation requirements while still maintaining safety standards during transit.

The main reason to use LQ UN labels is to ensure clear communication and regulatory compliance when shipping hazardous substances in limited quantities. By marking packages with this label, shippers inform carriers, customs officials, and emergency responders that the contents are hazardous but fall within specified limits, reducing the complexity of transport while preserving safety.

These labels are typically applied to packages, boxes, drums, or containers that contain limited quantities of chemicals, flammable materials, aerosols, or other regulated dangerous goods. They are commonly used in industries such as chemical manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, laboratories, and shipping companies involved in hazardous materials logistics.

Using LQ UN labels helps companies meet international transportation standards, including those set by the UN Model Regulations, IATA, IMDG, and DOT. This promotes safer handling, facilitates compliance during shipping, and reduces the risk of regulatory penalties or accidents associated with improperly marked hazardous shipments.
