Disposal of out-of-date pyrotechnics.

The provisions of the ADR on the packaging, marking and labelling of expired pyrotechnic articles bearing the UN numbers UN 0092, UN 0093, UN 0403 or UN 0404 for carriage to the nearest military barracks do not apply provided the general packaging provisions of the ADR are complied with and additional information is included in the transport document. This applies only to local transport, to the nearest military barracks, of small quantities of these time-expired pyrotechnics for safe disposal.

Regulation 82(10) of the Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road Regulations 2004.

The carriage of small quantities of time-expired marine emergency flares, especially from pleasure boat owners and ship chandlers, to military barracks for safe disposal has created difficulties, particularly in relation to packaging requirements. The derogation is for small quantities (below those specified in 1.1.3.6) for local transport.
