GlesgaBill:
Evening, Dave 
I was having a discussion earlier with one of our guys regarding incompatible loads.
I know that toxic (class 6, in this case, 200L drums of a liquid chemical-PG III) is incompatible with foodstuffs.
Are their circumstances in which a pallet of chemicals described as above and a pallet of booze (bottled) can travel together? i.e. Segregation? and if so, what would be the permissable circumstances?
Cheers in advance, GlesgaBill 
Hi GlesgaBill, Thatās a very good question indeed, and there will be a specific answer to it.
However, Iād need the UN number and the name of the toxic āstuffā pleaseā¦
āIncompatibleā is a word that we use to describe two (or more) substances carried in the same vehicle, which if released at the same time, could cause a danger (by chemical reaction) worse than any of the substances on their own eg, flammables carried with oxidisers, or acids carried with alkalis.
Your question doesnāt relate to the above, unless there are other dangerous goods on board the vehicle, but instead relates to what ADR calls āPrecautions with respect to foodstuffs, other articles of consumption and animal feeds,ā which is the reason for me asking for the UN number and name of the āstuff.ā
Iām afraid that the link in brit peteās answer is (very) wide of the mark and is in fact actually half a world away from European reality, because heās given you a link to the AUSTRALIAN national dangerous goods Regs. 
Sorry Pete, but Australia isnāt a member country of ADR, so therefore their dangerous goods Regs have no relevance to us in either the UK or Europe.
