We see, on a continuous basis, operators requesting Safety Data Sheets (SDS) to check section 14 for transport purposes, each time we are asked, we ask why, to which we are told its needed to check the UN […] The post SDS Request for Transport Purposes first appeared on Llewellyn Europe. <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> Well it finally happened……… </p> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> A shipping line actually asked for a Safety Data Sheet for a CAR! </p> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> We see, on a continuous basis, operators requesting Safety Data Sheets (SDS) to check section 14 for transport purposes, each time we are asked, we ask why, to which we are told its needed to check the UN number, or its needed to check other items. </p> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> Due to this new process being seen by many lines, the movement of dangerous goods is becoming more problematic, here are a few actual examples: </p> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> UN3077, Environmentally Hazardous Substance, Solid, N.O.S.; being shipped in 4 x 3kg inner packages in a combination package – the airline refused them as non-hazardous for transport, because the SDS stated UN3077 in section 14. Special provision A197 was explained to them, however the operator maintained that they had to be shipped as full scope dangerous goods or they would not ship them. </p> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> UN3480, LITHIUM ION BATTERIES; the battery was placed in a phone, the shipper declared this correctly as UN3481, LITHIUM ION BATTERIES CONTAINED IN EQUIPMENT; the airline requested the SDS and stated it could not fly as the UN number on the SDS was not the same as the UN number on the shippers declaration, they asked the shipper to change the SDS. When the operator was quizzed on why they wanted an SDS, they confirmed that they needed to either identify the amount of lithium content in grams or the watt hour capacity, it must be noted that neither of these items are required on an SDS. </p> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <em> And the final example: </em> </p> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> UN3269, POLYESTER RESIN KIT, which contain a flammable resin and a very small amount of organic peroxide used as the hardener; the shipping line asked for the SDS for both components, on receipt of this they entered the two UN numbers into their system, and then refused to ship them as they required segregation. </p> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> These issues are solely from asking for an SDS, or more importantly not understanding what is contained in an SDS or what it is for. </p> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> There are more than 30 classifications in GHS, which have not been adopted by all countries and regions, for the movement of dangerous goods there are in general 9 classes, many of the GHS classifications are not then classified for transport purposes. </p> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> I know the CAA have asked for SDS information to be provided in DG training schemes, and many operators have stated that it says in the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations to request an SDS. </p> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> No, it does not, Appendix B4, gives an overview of GHS and the pictograms that are used in its application, GHS itself is implemented differently in different countries and regions around the world. The GHS transport elements are implemented using the UN Model Regulations, which then flows down into the various dangerous goods regulations which are implemented internationally. </p> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> Again, in ADR, 49 CFR, IMDG or any other International dangerous goods regulations, it does not state that an SDS is needed. </p> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> So, what is an SDS and when is it needed: </p> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> The UK HSE describes them as: <br/> Safety data sheets provide information on chemical products that help users of those chemicals to make a risk assessment. They describe the hazards the chemical presents, and give information on handling, storage and emergency measures in case of accident. </p> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> OSHA describe them as: <br/> The Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR), requires that the chemical manufacturer, distributor, or importer provide Safety Data Sheets for each hazardous chemical to downstream users to communicate information on their hazards. </p> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> The key word in these descriptions is the word USER. <br/> An SDS is required to be provided to the user prior to the first time they receive it, its not required with every delivery and is to be provided free of charge by the person placing it on the market for its use. </p> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> The SDS is then consulted by the user to understand the hazards and complete a sufficient assessment of the risks during its use. </p> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> SDS are also required for third part operators who are to store the products long term, this does not include temporary storage or transhipment of dangerous goods seen in normal transport operations. </p> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> Section 14 of the SDS provides basic transport information only, it does not take into account the quantity being shipped, or how it is being shipped, it does not take into account any of the exemptions or special provisions relating to its transportation. </p> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> It must be noted that under the 29 CFR Section 14 is not mandatory, because the information is for the person using the product and not for when it is being transported, I would agree they have this right, the SDS is nothing to do with transport. </p> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> The safe transportation, including how goods are classified for transport, packaged, marked and labelled and consigned, including any exemptions or special provisions and emergency measures to be taken during transport are dealt with by the appropriate dangerous goods codes and regulations that have been successfully used for many years, before the phenomenon of requesting SDS. </p> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <b> A plea for industry </b> </p> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> Can we please stop complicating the movement of dangerous goods by asking for a document that is nothing to do with the transportation of those goods? </p> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> Shippers and consignors have the obligation to classify, identify and consign their products in accordance with the dangerous goods regulations for the relevant mode of transport being used. </p> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> Please, please, please, other than for Ethiopia (their reason is still unclear), stop asking for SDS for transport purposes and save our sanity. </p> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <a href="/sds-request-for-transport-purposes/"> SDS Request for Transport Purposes </a> </p> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <a href="https://llewellyneurope.com"> Llewellyn Europe </a> </p> </div> Thu, 26 Mar 2020 14:18:00 GMT http://www.llewellyneurope.com/sds-request-for-transport-purposes http://www.llewellyneurope.com/covid-19-update Well what a couple of months it has been.

The logo will be replaced with the simple words, Department for Transport, in black lettering. As a result of the change to the logo the guilloche and card design has also had to be revised. </p> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> SQA will begin re-issuing cards in the next couple of weeks; ensuring drivers receive their replacement cards by Friday 4th October. </p> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> Once candidates receive their replacement photo cards they will be asked to destroy their old card – but only once they have received their replacement.  They will also be asked to contact SQA by telephone or email to acknowledge receipt and destruction of their old photo card certificate. Candidates will receive clear and simple instructions with their new ADR photo card certificates. </p> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> There will be a 6 months grace period for the photo card certificate holders during which SQA will be working closely with the Police and other enforcement agencies to ensure that no driver or haulier will be disadvantaged while the new cards are issued.
