What are the key guidelines provided by IATA for transporting catalysts?
IATA's Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR) outline several key guidelines for transporting catalysts:
Classification: Catalysts must be classified according to their chemical and physical properties. This ensures that they are handled and transported appropriately. Packaging: Specific packaging requirements must be met to prevent leakage or damage during transit. This includes the use of UN-approved containers. Labeling: Proper labeling is essential for identifying the contents and handling instructions. Labels must comply with international standards. Documentation: Accurate documentation must accompany the shipment, including Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and shipping declarations. Training: Personnel involved in the transportation of catalysts must receive adequate training to handle these materials safely.
