Assess Dangerous Goods for a Product (3FC)

For chemical products, you determine if a product can be transported via certain transportation modes with the result of a dangerous goods classification decided according to applicable dangerous goods regulations.

You create a dangerous goods description that is used on transportation documents to describe the product in compliance with the rules defined in each dangerous goods regulation.

To start the classification process, the product steward specialist assigns compliance purposes to the product. These compliance purposes define the relevant dangerous goods regulations, and allow a dangerous goods specialist to classify the product for each of those regulations and to decide for which regulations and modes of transport the product can be transported.

Key Process Steps Covered

• Flag products as relevant for a compliance assessment
• Determine countries or regions where a product is planned to be transported
• Derive relevant compliance purposes based on countries or regions where transport is required
• Assess dangerous goods classification for an unpackaged product
• Assess dangerous goods classification for all related packaged products

Benefits

• Integrate the dangerous goods assessment of a product with the process of creating and changing products
• Integrate the dangerous goods assessment of a product with your logistic processes
• Use compliance requirements out-of-the-box for dangerous goods regulations in different countries or regions for certain modes of transport
