Taking Action

The classification of explosives in accordance with GHS is based on the system defined in the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Model Regulations. In many cases, classification of explosives depends on certain transport packaging. This approach results in that a number of classified explosives, after removal from the transport packaging, being placed in to another division and compatibility group, what is not communicated by the hazard communication elements appearing on the label. Experts of the GHS Sub-Committee from 2015 have been taking action to change the system of explosives classification, so that the criteria allow for proper assessment of the hazard posed by a specific explosive in a configuration other than for transport.

The Eu

The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (UN-GHS) is being implemented in more and more countries all over the world; the EU has done so with the CLP-Regulation (EU-CLP). Compared to the undeniably important questions on health and environmental hazards, the classification of physical hazards of chemicals often has not been in the focus, although their implementation can be challenging and there are traps and pitfalls to be avoided. The following overview of the classification systematics for physical hazards aims at a principle understanding without detailing all criteria or test methods. Similarities and differences between the classification systems of the UN-GHS and EU-CLP, the transport of dangerous goods and the former EU system are reviewed with regard to the physical hazard classes. Available physical hazard classifications for the transport of dangerous goods and according to the former EU system can be used as available information when classifying according to the GHS. However, the interfaces of these classification systems and their limitations have to be understood well when concluding on GHS/CLP classifications. This applies not only to industry when applying CLP but especially to legislators when adapting legislation that in one way or another refers to the classification of chemicals.

Transport Of Dangerous Goods

The aim of this paper is to examine the international law governing air cargo transport. The basic research problem concerns the application of the existing procedures in practice. The structure of the article covers three basic exploratory issues. The first refers to the general identification of the international law on air freight transport. The second concerns the classification of dangerous goods and special documents required for air transport. The third relates to the procedures for handling hazardous materials and special goods in air transport. The results of the research process are based on an analysis of the literature and self experience.
