China Proposes Two New Standards for Dangerous Goods Packaging
If approved, they will take effect 12 months later after their official publication.
Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) is soliciting public comments on two new standards regarding packaging for dangerous goods. These two standards have been under formulation for years since December 2014 when the MIIT published a plan to initialize the project, which are devised to be in line with the UN Recommendation on the Transport of Dangerous Goods – Model Regulations (Rev. 22nd) and certain domestic standards (e.g., GB 28644.1 and GB 28644.2).
On June 16, 2023, the authority publicized these two drafts to solicit public comments due by August 16, 2023. Once approved, they will be implemented as mandatory national standards. As planned, they are expected to take effect 12 months later after their official publication.
The first draft standard specifies safety requirements for packaging dangerous goods, including marking, labeling, and inspection. Specific labels, such as “Environmentally Hazardous Substance,” “Orientation Arrows,” and “Lithium Battery,” should be used for certain dangerous goods. The standard does not apply to certain types of packaging or dangerous goods.
The second draft standard provides guidance on the design, testing, marking, and labeling requirements for salvage packaging used to transport damaged, defective, or leaking dangerous goods. It applies to salvage and large salvage packaging, excluding certain dangerous goods.
