Covering the transport of dangerous goods regulations, which are already in place, the new Guide explains how to consign aerosols for transport in each mode, the classification, packaging, testing, marking and labelling necessary as well as the documentation needed.
It outlines training needs for staff engaged in transportation and preparing goods for shipment via road, rail, sea or air.
BAMA technical director Dr Paul Jackson says: “Aerosols are classified as dangerous goods for transport and the regulations therefore require that any shipments must be fully declared and adequately packaged, including sample products.
“The Guide provides a valuable route map through the complex legislation, covering UK and international transport.”
Following publication of the new Guide, which is free to BAMA members, BAMA is also offering a training course on the topic on 15 May 2013 in the UK.
