How is the Transportation Information determined for the MSDS?
CSA uses the composition and hazard information from Sections 2 and 3 of the MSDS to derive an applicable Proper Shipping Name from 49 CFR 172.101. This then provides all other required information. CSA further applies the DOT regulations to address limited quantities, as applicable. CSA uses the Canadian TDG regulations for Canadian transportation information. In addition, for our clients that ship overseas, we use the current, appropriate regulations under IATA for air shipments and IMO for shipments via the sea. CSA can also provide shipping classification for shipments to or within Europe based on the classification under the ADR.
