DANGEROUS GOODS SERVICE

Service Overview

What are Dangerous Goods?

Dangerous goods are the materials or products which have the risks of explosion, ignition, poisoning, corrosion, radio activity,
suffocation, fire, infestation, polymerization, frostbiting, dust explosion or reactions due to their physical, chemical properties of
the materials, contacts between the materials and one or more other substances, or under other special circumstances, resulting
in risks to the health, safety, properties, or environments. In short, the dangerous goods are those registered with the IMDG Code
as Dangerous Goods.

MSDS

MSDS means the Material Safety Data Sheets, which specifies the risks and hazards, first-aid procedure, and handling methods, in order to ensure safe handling of chemicals.

UN no. and PSN.

The Dangerous Goods registered with IMDG Code are endowed with the proper shipping names and the unique United Nations
Number for their identification, so that they can identified easily in case of an emergency. The UN Number is a unique number assigned
to a dangerous good by the Dangerous Goods Transportation Export Committee. Each of the dangerous goods registered under IMDG
Code is assigned with a corresponding UN number.

IMDG

IMDG, or International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code, was introduced in 1965, in response to the needs to transport dangerous
goods safely through a standardized regulation system based on their mode of transportation. IMDG Code assigned the dangerous goods with grades of dangers (Grade 1 through 9) in accordance with the level of risks the material or product has, in order to increase the
efficiency in managing them.

Classification of Dangerous Goods in IMDG

Transportation of Dangerous Goods in accordance with the UN Standard

There have been active efforts to prove the risks in an objective manner. However, the dangerous goods are defined rather by the
regulations of UN than the specific chemical composition of the material. For this reason, it is only possible to define a material
as a dangerous good when one clearly understands the regulations of the United Nations and the classifications of the dangerous
goods in accordance with these rules. In the end, this can ensure safe transportation of the goods, in compliance with the regulations.

As such, there are four international organizations which oversee the transportation of Dangerous Goods. Also, the compulsory
regulations, such as fining, rework orders, or SHIP BADK, are in accordance with the policies of each country, which may differ among
the mselves.
