The standard is compulsory as it is referred to in several acts and regulation including
the Hazardous Substances Act 15 of 1973, the National Road Traffic Regulations
2000 of the National Road Traffic Act 93 of 1996, and the minimum requirements for
the handling, classification and disposal of hazardous w aste of the Department of
Water Affairs and Forestry.
SANS 10228 forms the basis of all dangerous goods standards because the
classification determines how dangerous goods are to be:
• Packaged (SA NS 10229-1: Packaging and large packaging for road and rail
transport. Part 1: Packaging).
• Transported (SANS 10231: Transportation of dangerous goods – operational
requirements for road vehicles and Parts 1 to 3 of the SANS 10232:
Transportation of dangerous goods – emergency information systems).
• Stored (SANS 10263: The w arehousing of dangerous goods - enclosed
storage areas and covered and uncovered outdoor storage yards).
These guidelines form a significant part of the Incident Management System for road
transportation and also provide a guide on the more appropriate mode of
transportation of dangerous goods.
