- The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) issued notice of “enforcement discretion” regarding real-time train consists for hazardous materials.
- Canada and the U.S. are phasing out the use of Class 111 tank cars for Class 3 flammable liquids, but there are differences between the two countries? What tank cars can be used in each country?
- Transport Canada has published a new packaging standard for Canadian dangerous goods in small containers. But there’s a catch – it’s published, but not yet in force. What changes will we see in the new standard?
- IATA has published an addendum to Edition 66 of the Dangerous Goods Regulations
