While IMDG Code, and ADR/RID/ADN, are generally in line with UN Model Regulations. both in terms of subdivision in parts, chapters, sections and paragraphs and (more relevant) in terms of text, that is not true for ICAO Technical Instructions (neither for IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations, which are also different from ICAO T.I.).
Unfortunately the ICAO Dangerous Goods Panel (DGP) doesn’t seem going in the direction of increasing harmonization.
Let us consider the proposed revised Packing Instructions, as contained in the Consultative Document.
In recognizing the specific needs of air transport, is it really justifiable not to pursue an editorial harmonization with UN Model Regulations in terms of numbering system, format, etc. ?
A general query: if IAEA is considering a possible alignment of TS-R-1 with UN Model Regulations, why should that be so “impossible” for ICAO DGP ?
Have consignors (or shippers: another modal disharmony) something to say ?
