Logistics
Goods presenting a risk to health, safety, property, or the environment during transportation.
For sea freight the governing instrument is the IMDG Code, which the IMO describes as “an international code for the maritime transport of dangerous goods in packaged form, in order to enhance and harmonize the safe carriage”, mandatory since 1 January 2004 under SOLAS. Its requirements run per substance and cover “packing, container traffic and stowage, with particular reference to the segregation of incompatible substances” — segregation being the requirement most often missed when consolidating a mixed container.
Sea transport only. Air carriage follows ICAO Technical Instructions and the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations; road and rail follow their own regimes. The nine hazard classes are not enumerated here because the page cited lists only Class 1.
