Guidance on the safe transport of dangerous cargoes (covering oils, noxious liquid chemicals and gases carried in bulk, solid bulk materials possessing chemical hazards, solid bulk materials hazardous only in bulk, harmful substances in packaged form) and related activities in port areas as part of the transport chain was first circulated by the IMO in 1973. This is the 3rd edition of the guidance which includes a new chapter on security provisions, a new annex on fumigation of cargo areas, a new glossary of terminology and up-to-date recommendations for the IMDG Code and other relevant codes.

The understanding that some pesticides are more hazardous than others is well established. Recognition of this is reflected by the World Health Organization (WHO) Recommended Classification of Pesticides by Hazard, which was first published in 1975. The document classifies pesticides in one of five hazard classes according to their acute toxicity. In 2002, the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) was introduced, which in addition to acute toxicity also provides classification of chemicals according to their chronic health hazards and environmental hazards.

This guidance will assist processors of fish and fishery products in the development of their Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) plans. Processors of fish and fishery products will find info. that will help them identify hazards that are associated with their products, and help them formulate control strategies. It will help consumers understand commercial seafood safety in terms of hazards and their controls. It does not specifically address safe handling practices by consumers or by retail estab., although the concepts contained in this guidance are applicable to both. This guidance will serve as a tool to be used by fed. and state regulatory officials in the evaluation of HACCP plans for fish and fishery products. Illustrations. This is a print on demand report.

Der Inhalt: Stauen und Trennen, wie es im IMDG-Code steht! Der international geschätzte Storck Guide (in englischer Sprache) unterstützt Ladungsoffiziere, Stauplaner, Inspektionen und Kontrollorgane, Containerbelader und Terminals bei der Schiffs- und Containerbeladung mit gefährlichen Gütern. Was auch im neuen IMDG-Code immer noch auf über 1.200 Seiten verteilt hinsichtlich der Stauung und Trennung steht, findet man hier auf nur circa 150 Seiten übersichtlich zusammengefasst. Die aktualisierte 23. Auflage berücksichtigt die Vorschriften des IMDG-Codes in der Fassung des Amendments 36-12, die bereits ab 2013 angewendet werden dürfen und ab 2014 verbindlich anzuwenden sind. Der International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG-Code) regelt weltweit die Beförderung gefährlicher Güter mit Seeschiffen. Klassenweise werden die generellen und speziellen Zusammenstauvorschriften mit anderen gefährlichen Gütern und Klassen (außer Klassen 1 und 7) aufgezeigt. Farbige Trenntabellen dienen der Schnellinformation, ein praktisches Griffregister erleichtert den Zugriff.
