(Is DG by Air qualification valid for road and ocean transport of DG?)
Q.
Is DG by Air qualification valid for road and ocean transport of DG? (28 Feb 10)
A.
No. DG by Air qualification is only good for air transportation. Qualification for road transportation must be obtained for road (ADR), and a Sep rate qualification is necessary for ocean transportation (IMDG). The manuals are different and rules are not all the same. Needless to mention, it will be easy for the person having a DG by Air qualification to learn other modes as he/she would have already a basic knowledge of DG.
