posted hazcheck.com 11th May 2006 IMDG Code Amendment 33-06 on the way  This month the final draft of Amendment 33-06 of the IMDG Code should be signed off by IMO's Maritime Safety Committee.The Amended Code will be published later this year and, subject to national government adoption, may be used from 1 January 2007. It will be mandatory from 1 January 2008. IMO's Maritime Safety Committee has agreed that Amendments to the IMDG Code will be adopted at two-yearly intervals, entering into force on 1 January of even years (shown in green on the chart). One year prior to those dates, Governments are invited to apply them on a voluntary basis. During these transition years (shown in yellow) either the Amendment in force or the newly published Amendment may be used. During the transition years many carriers accept dangerous goods under both Amendments as shippers take advantage of any favourable changes affecting their products. Hazcheck Systems will offer processing under either Amendment 32 or 33 from January 2007. | |
