Dangerous goods: Transport
Service description
The transport of dangerous goods is governed by international, European and German regulations. Depending on the type and quantity of dangerous goods, a wide variety of regulations must be observed depending on the transport route (road, rail, water and air). It may therefore be necessary for the transport vehicle to be labelled with hazard labels and orange-coloured plates.
In addition, the various parties responsible (packer, consignor, carrier, loader, vehicle driver, unloader, consignee, etc.) must fulfil a number of obligations. This may also include the specification of a certain transport route.
