some time discussing the use, right or wrong, GMOs (genetically modified organisms) and (M) GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms).
These organisms are widely used both in agriculture and food industry. Speaking
, one can not help but consider the stage of "transmission" that directly involves the rules for international carriage of dangerous goods.
This is our first report about how
of road, rail and waterways (when they become regulated)
THE CURRENT SITUATION
The 2009 edition of the ADR / RID / ADN provides:
- Genetically modified organisms and genetically modified organisms are assigned to Class 9 (UN 3245) if you do not meet the definition of infectious substance ( infectious substances can be assigned, as appropriate, to the UN numbers 2814, 2900 or 3373).
- Genetically modified organisms and genetically modified organisms, whether in class 9 and if authorized for their use by the competent authority of countries of origin, transit and destination, are exempt ADR / RID / ADN (Special Provision 637) .
THE FUTURE
With The new 2011 edition of ADR / RID / ADN (in force since January 1, 2011), regulation of transport (M) GMOs and changes, complications, as follows:
- Member (M) GMOs and GMOs may also be classified as toxic substances (class 6.1). (Special Provision 219).
- Member (M) GMOs and GMOs are not classified as toxic or infectious, may be transported in complete exemption only if they are packaged in accordance with the new packing instruction P904, which among other things, provides a special brand of affixed to the neck on the UN3245.
Our next project will be for the flight, with the first
new to the DGR 52!!!
