Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods – Manual of Tests and Criteria

Rev. 6 December 2015

The Manual of Tests and Criteria contains criteria, test methods and procedures to be used for classification of dangerous goods according to the provisions of Parts 2 and 3 of the Model Regulations, as well as of chemicals presenting physical hazards according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals. As a consequence, it supplements also national and international regulations.

This publication contains classification procedures, test methods and criteria relating to substances and articles such as explosives, self-reacting substances, organic peroxides, flammable aerosols, flammable liquids, oxidizing substances, corrosive substances, and miscellaneous other dangerous goods such as fertilizers and lithium cells and batteries.

This sixth revised edition includes all the amendments to the fifth revised edition adopted by the Committee at its fifth and sixth sessions in 2010 and 2012 (published under the symbols ST/SG/AC.10/11/Rev.5/Amend.1 and ST/SG/AC.10/11/Rev.5/Amend.2) and those adopted at its seventh session in 2014 (ST/SG/AC.10/42/Add.2).

The new amendments adopted in 2014 address in particular:

A new test to measure the sensitiveness of the substance to drop-mass impact and to determine if the substance is too dangerous to transport in the form tested (Section 13, Test 3 (a) (vii): Modified Bureau of Mines impact machine test);
Updated procedures for the classification of lithium metal and lithium ion cells and batteries (sub-section 38.3);
A new test procedure for the classification of substances of Class 9 which may evolve flammable vapours (sub-section 38.4);
A new Part V containing schemes for the classification of desensitized explosives for supply and use (including storage) according to the GHS;
A new test for the classification of cartridges, small arms (UN No. 0012) (Appendix 9); and Updating of miscellaneous existing provisions.

RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE TRANSPORT OF DANGEROUS GOODS, MODEL REGULATIONS (REV.19)

Published: July 2015

These recommendations have been developed in the light of technical progress, the advent of new substances and materials, the exigencies of modern transport systems and, above all, the requirement to ensure the safety of people, property and the environment. They are addressed to governments and international organisations concerned with the regulation of the transport of dangerous goods.

The Model Regulations cover the classification of dangerous goods, their listing, the use, construction, testing and approval of packagings and portable tanks, as well as consignment procedures such as marking, labelling, placarding and documentation.

This nineteenth revised edition contains various new and revised provisions concerning, inter alia, the transport of viscous liquids; gases; polymerizing substances; internal combustion engines or machinery powered by flammable liquids or gases; electric vehicles; lithium batteries and ammonia dispensing systems..

GLOBALLY HARMONIZED SYSTEM OF CLASSIFICATION AND LABELLING OF CHEMICALS (GHS, REV.6)

Available English Version pdf

Published: July 2015

The GHS addresses classification of chemicals by types of hazard and proposes harmonized hazard communication elements, including labels and safety data sheets.
It aims at ensuring that information on physical hazards and toxicity from chemicals be available in order to enhance the protection of human health and the environment during the handling, transport and use of these chemicals.

The GHS also provides a basis for harmonization of rules and regulations on chemicals at national, regional and worldwide level.

The sixth revised edition of the GHS contains various new or revised provisions including, inter alia, a new hazard class for desensitized explosives and a new hazard category for pyrophoric gases; miscellaneous provisions intended to clarify the criteria for some hazard classes (explosives, specific target organ toxicity following single exposure, aspiration hazard and hazardous to the aquatic environment); additional information to be included in the Safety Data Sheets (section 9); revised and further rationalized precautionary statements and a new example in Annex 7 addressing labelling of small packagings.

European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR 2015)

Adopted on 30 September 1957 in Geneva under the auspices of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), the ADR entered into force on 29 January 1968.

This authoritative Agreement is intended to increase the safety of international transport of dangerous goods by road. Its Annexes A and B contain the technical requirements for road transport, i.e. the conditions under which dangerous goods, when authorized for transport, may be carried internationally, as well as uniform provisions concerning the construction and operation of vehicles carrying dangerous goods. They also establish international requirements and procedures for training and safety obligations of participants.

The Agreement has been regularly amended and updated since its entry into force. This version has been prepared on the basis of amendments applicable as from 1 January 2015.
