HOW DOES THE GHS RELATE TO THE UN RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE TRANSPORT OF DANGEROUS GOODS?
For the transport sector, the GHS uses the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (UNRTDG). The UNRTDG 14th edition has been revised to be in line with the GHS. By resolution 1999/65 of 26 October 1999 the United Nations Economic and Social Council decided to enlarge the mandate of the Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods by reconfiguring it into a Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods and on the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (CETDGGHS), and by creating, besides the Sub-Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (TDG Sub-Committee), a new Sub-Committee of Experts on the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS Sub-Committee).
