ERG for Android
What search methods does the ERG for Android app support?
You can search by UN number (like 1993 for diesel fuel), by chemical name, or by the placard displayed on a vehicle. Each search returns the relevant guide number and emergency information in seconds.
Does the app include isolation and evacuation distance tables?
Yes, the built-in isolation and evacuation distance tables are a key feature. They are logically separated and easy to access, so you can quickly get the critical safety distances you need during a real incident.
The app seems very basic. Is that a problem?
Not at all. The bare-bones interface is intentional—it opens to a clear menu with options for searching by ID, name, or placard, and the text scrolls easily. It’s designed to be a fast tool that gets out of your way, which is perfect for urgent situations.
Will the app work if I have no internet connection?
Yes, once downloaded, the ERG app works fully offline. All the guidebook data, search functions, and distance tables are stored locally on your device, so you can access them anytime without needing a signal.
How does this app compare to a PDF version of the ERG?
Unlike a static PDF, this app is structured for speed: you can search by UN number, name, or placard and get instant results without scrolling through pages. It also includes interactive placard search and built-in isolation tables, making it far more practical for on-the-spot use than a flat document.
