TRANSPORT OF DANGEROUS GOODS DOCUMENTATION

Transmitted by the European Confederation of Paint, Printing Ink

and Artists Colours Manufacturers Association (CEPE)

Background

In paper ST/SG/AC.10/C.3/1999/69, CEPE stated it's intention to submit an INF paper nearer to the date of the meeting in order to provide more up to date information on replies that had been received in response to it's request for information on each item of transport document information in modal regulations

In the attached update, the responses have been collated by four categories of respondee headed;-

Consignor:-	Consignors

Operator:-	Transport Operators

Emerg Ser:-	Emergency Services

Authority	National Authorities

Under each of these headings the number of responses have been by type of respondee in subsidiary columns under the following headings

1.	Essential Information

2.	Useful but not essential Information

3.	Information that serves no practical useful purpose.

4.	Not applicable

The responses represent those received at a national or international level. In some cases responses from some NGO's noted herein represent a consolidation of up to 25 individual responses. The sub- committee are invited to consider these responses as a basis for deciding the provisions relevant to transport documentation that should be included in a revision of Chapter 5.4.
