GUIDING PRINCIPLES

Further development (and adoption) of guiding principles (see INF 28 at 32^ session of UNSCETDG) should be one of the top priority in future work.
The reason for ?
A comprehensive gathering of guiding principles will encourage the movement towards simplified and clear UN Model Regulations, in the way that the list of dangerous goods could be restricted to general n.o.s. entries (the relevant requirements for such entries being defined on the basis of the guiding principles).
And indeed such an approach has just been followed for self-reactive substances and organic peroxides.
Specific (when really necessary) requirements for specific goods could then be mentioned in an annexed list of dangerous goods where specific, relevant, identified goods (substances, mixtures, articles) should be contained (their classification being in agreement with GHS): a list which, I recall, at European level, the REACH Regualtion will require to develop.
