transport of dangerous goods and risk management - Kirilo Savić

TRANSPORT OF DANGEROUS GOODS AND RISK MANAGEMENT 63the R phrases – the degree of risk,the European code of hazardous materials,toxicity for the reproduction and degree of toxicity,mutagenicity and the category of mutagenicity.These data, together with the determined per cent content of a hazardous substance in waste (according to theanalyses) and the data on the burning point (from the data on safety lists), represent a basis for the successfulcharacterisation of hazardous waste.The List with announcement signs includes the signs S1 – S62. The List with the possible combinations ofannouncement signs is comprised of 17 signs in total, for all possible combinations.Legal claim for the categorisation of waste materials from the exploitation of vesselsThe categories of waste to be checked (Y List of the OECD) were determined pursuant to Annex I of the BaselConvention 12 and the Law of the Republic of Serbia 16 . The categories of waste, from the perspective of the activitiesfor operating waste, were determined according to the OECD Lists Q, D and R, which are included in Annex I (QList), Annex IIa (D List – with the labels of waste disposal procedures D1 – D15) and Annex IIb (R List – with thelabels of procedures for the reuse of waste R1 – R13) of the Directive 75/442/EEC 25 .Legal claim for the characterisation of waste materials from the exploitation of vesselsThe characterisation of Waste, i.e. the identification of the hazardous characteristic of waste, on the basis of H Listof the OECD (IWIC List) from Annex III of the Basel Convention 12 and H List from Annex III of the Directive91/689/EEC 26 , the Law of the Republic of Serbia 16 and the Code of the Republic of Serbia 27 . The waste ingredientswhich make waste dangerous were determined according to C List from Annex II of the Directive 91/689/EEC 28 . Inthe list, there are signs for 15 dangerous characteristics (H1 – H13). The sign H12 refers to eco-toxic wastecontents, and the sign H13 refers to waste which can, after disposal (e.g. drying), produce some of the dangerouscharacteristics of the previous 14.Identification and classification of waste materials, goods and waste according to Dangerous Goods List of theUNChemicals in transport, when on the market, i.e. when they are in transport, have their identification numbers. Forthe materials on the market the CAS Numbers are applied – the numbers of known substances from the register ofchemicals abstracts 29 (Chemicals Abstract Service).Certain lists for hazardous materials do not include raw materials and waste, hence, for the identification, we haveused the UN list of Dangerous Goods in Transport which is published by the Expert Committee for DangerousGoods Transport 29 under the auspices of the United Nations, which covers all types of dangerous goods andmaterials, regardless of the type of danger which they carry and the field of their application. The identificationnumber UN and the Class UN were determined according to the recommendations of the UN for the transport ofdangerous materials (recommendations of the UN for the transport of dangerous goods –the Model ofRegulations 30 ). This document defines and classifies the goods which are considered to be dangerous and regulatesthe safety and technical requirements in terms of packing, labelling and their manipulation. The document is thebasic instrument for the harmonisation of numerous international and national regulations on dangerous goodstransport. The European Accord on Transport of Dangerous Goods by land (ADR 10 ), rail (RID 11 ) and watertransport (ADN 8 ) completely adopted its structure and incorporated all its requirements. The main part of thisdocument is the list of dangerous goods, divided into nine classes, according to the type of basic danger.
