A part of all transported goods are dangerous in some case.

Dangerous goods regulations impact on everybody. In effect, the majority of manufacturers and distributors must ensure the security of logistics operations involving dangerous goods. But regulation is frequently misunderstood and the solutions not immediately evident. SEVESO III, new environmental protection classifications (ICPE), CLP (Classification, Labelling, Packaging) regulations, the various Codes (ADR, IATA, IMDG, RID and ADN…) applicable to the transportation of dangerous goods are increasingly strict and are constantly evolving. In the fields of transport, logistics and packaging, risk prevention, safety and security are at the heart of supply chain excellence.
Exhibition zone for dangerous goods logistics
For the first time, SITL Europe (held from 22 to 25 March 2016 at the Parc des Expositions – Paris nord Villepinte – hall 6), includes Dangerous Goods Logistics by SITL, with an exhibition zone and a programme of dedicated conferences and workshops. The total value chain of specialists in Dangerous Goods Transportation will be present: accreditation and training organisations, logistics service providers, transporters, logistics hubs, warehouse and transport equipment (tanks, industrial coachwork, storage) and packaging.
Including all modalities, 15 % of global goods traffic involves dangerous materials, fair experts say. From the point of origin through to the final client, their management depends on a value chain of experts conforming to strict guidelines. The regulations are updated every two years through ADR, IATA, IMDG, RID and AND codes. Next to hydrocarbons, chemical and gaseous goods, many day-to-day goods have been classified as “sensitive products” which require specific logistics procedures. This is the case with perfumes, certain beauty products, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, the majority of household detergents together with an increasing number of waste products.
