Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Model Regulations Volume I and II

These two documents comprise the twenty-second revised version of the recommendations of the United Nations (UN) on the regulation of transportation of dangerous goods. An introductory section in Volume I provides background information on the development of the recommendations. The next section discusses general provisions of the recommendations and classification of goods. The third part of Volume I details the dangerous goods list, along with special provisions and information on dangerous goods packed in limited and excepted quantities. The first appendix in Volume I lists generic and not otherwise specified (NOS) proper shipping names, while the second presents a glossary of terms. Volume I ends with an alphabetical list of substances and articles. The four parts of Volume II cover packing and tank provisions; consignment procedures; requirements for the construction and testing of packaging, tanks, and containers; and provisions concerning transport operations. These UN recommendations are directed toward governments and international organizations involved in the transportation of dangerous goods.
