Description
The IMDG Code is in conjunction with government regulations under the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea and was developed as a uniform international code for the transport of dangerous goods by sea covering such matters as packing, container traffic and stowage, with particular reference to the segregation of incompatible substances.
The two-volume Code is divided into seven parts:
Volume 1 (parts 1, 2 and 4-7 of the Code) contains:
- General provisions, definitions, training
- classification
- Packing and tank provisions (new packing instructions)
- Consignment procedures
- Construction and testing of packagings, IBCs, large packagings, portable tanks and road tank vehicles
- Transport operations
- Whole Part 7 has been revised — all illustrations on segregation are going in a separate circular and in the Supplement
Volume 2 contains Part 3:
- The Dangerous Goods List, presented in tabular format
- Limited Quantities & Excepted Quantities exceptions
- The Index
- Appendices
