Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods: Model Regulations
ISSN (online): 24120820
Periodical
These Recommendations have been developed by the United Nations Economic and Social Council's Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods 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.

Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS)
ISSN (online): 24121576
Periodical
Chemicals through the different steps from their production to their handling transport and use are a real danger for human health and the environment. People of any ages from children to elderly using many different languages and alphabets belonging to various social conditions including illiterates are daily confronted to dangerous products (chemicals pesticides etc.) To face this danger and given the reality of the extensive global trade in chemicals and the need to develop national programs to ensure their safe use transport and disposal it was recognized that an internationally-harmonized approach to classification and labelling would provide the foundation for such programs. Once countries have consistent and appropriate information on the chemicals they import or produce in their own countries the infrastructure to control chemical exposures and protect people and the environment can be established in a comprehensive manner. The new system which was called "Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (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 an important factor also for trade facilitation. While governments regional institutions and international organizations are the primary audiences for the GHS it also contains sufficient context and guidance for those in industry who will ultimately be implementing the requirements which have been adopted.

Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods: Tests and Criteria
ISSN (online): 24124664
Periodical
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 United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods Model Regulations as well as of chemicals presenting physical hazards according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). As a consequence it supplements also national or international regulations which are derived from the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods or the GHS. Originally developed by the Economic and Social Council’s Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods which adopted a first version in 1984 it has been regularly updated and amended every two years. Presently the updating is done under the auspices of the Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods and on the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals which replaces the original committee since 2001.
