The outcome should not be relied upon as legal or regulatory advice and does not constitute a formal compliance assessment. Whether a DGSA is required depends on the specific nature of your operations, the dangerous goods involved, applicable exemptions, and the requirements of the Carriage of Dangerous Goods Regulations and ADR.

If your assessment indicates that further review is required, or if you are unsure about any of your answers, we recommend seeking professional advice before making any compliance decisions.
