DG List updates

New, changed and deleted Dangerous Goods

Regulations change. By that, the information on dangerous goods changes too. New ones are added, or information on existing ones improve, whereas others become irrelevant.

 

Keep an overview

To keep track of the differences, we created a list of all updates for all regulations. This overview reflects the items of which information in the DG list from the related regulations have changed. One clear view presents information for each UN number, per regulation.

Therefore, it can be quite complex to find out how to ship them in the right way.
