Examples of labelling and marking
When you ship or carrier dangerous goods, it is necessary labelling and marking every single package. But “how do you properly label a package?”.Depending on the mode of transport (by road, by rail, by inland waterways, by sea or by air), the type of shipment (limited quantity or fully regulated), classification of the goods and related hazards, labels or placards for dangerous goods that will be placed on the package will be different. To better understand how to proceed we see some practical examples and solutions to prepare your packages in accordance with the requirements of ADR, RID, ADN, IMDG and ICAO / IATA regulations for the transport of dangerous goods by road, rail, inland waterways, sea and air.
