COMMITTEE OF EXPERTS ON THE TRANSPORT OF
DANGEROUS GOODS AND ON THE GLOBALLY
HARMONIZED SYSTEM OF CLASSIFICATION
AND LABELLING OF CHEMICALS
Sub-Committee of Experts on the
Transport of Dangerous Goods
Thirty-third session
Geneva, 30 June-9 July (a.m.) 2008
Item 4 (c) of the provisional agenda
LISTING, CLASSIFICATION AND PACKING
Correction to the draft amendments to the UN Recommendations
on the Transport of Dangerous Goods
Note by the secretariat
1.
In December 2007, the Sub-Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous
Goods adopted a proposal from Belgium to insert new entries in the Dangerous Goods List
for substances with subsidiary risks (see ST/SG/AC.10/C.3/64 par.17).
2.
In annex 1 to the report of the SCETDG on its thirty-second session
(ST/SG/AC.10/C.3/64), for the new entries for calcium hypochlorite, hydrated, with not less
than 5.5% but not more than 16% water with Class 8 subsidiary risk, the packing group II and
III entries have been assigned a separate UN number (UN 3487 and UN 3488). This was not
part of the Belgian proposal, in which both entries were assigned new UN number "EEEE"
(see UN/SCETDG/32/INF.26).
3.
The secretariat proposes to correct this by renumbering new UN Nos. 3488 to 3494 as
UN Nos. 3487 to 3493, as shown below:
