Services for Identification of Hazardous Chemicals, Identification of Dangerous Goods Transportation Condition in China

Service Introduction

Hazardous materials are substances and products with properties such as explosiveness, flammability, toxicity, infectivity, and corrosiveness. These characteristics make them prone to causing personal injuries, property damage, or environmental contamination during their production, handling, transportation, storage, usage, and disposal, necessitating special protective measures.

Hazardous chemicals refer to products that have explosive, flammable, toxic, corrosive, or radioactive properties and can easily cause personal injury or property damage during transportation, loading and unloading, and storage, thus requiring special protection.

Whether they are dangerous goods or hazardous chemicals, exposure to them during production, storage, distribution, or transportation can pose risks to humans and the environment, both short-term and long-term. To ensure safety in transportation, production, usage, and storage, it is crucial to identify the hazards of these products promptly.

The identification of goods transportation Conditions involves assessing the goods according to domestic and international regulations and standards for the transportation of hazardous goods, providing identification results and recommendations for the safe transportation of the goods. The identification of hazardous chemicals involves assessing hazardous chemicals according to international standards such as the United Nations Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS), the International Maritime Organization's International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG), and the International Air Transport Association’s Dangerous Goods Regulations (IATA DGR). This process determines the hazard classification of the chemicals, assesses whether they are listed in China’s Catalogue of Hazardous Chemicals, and verifies compliance with the “Definition and Identification Principles of Hazardous Chemicals” in the catalogue.
