IMO Classes

The Carriage of dangerous goods and marine pollutants in sea-going ships is respectively regulated in the International Convention for the Safety of the Life at Sea (SOLAS) and the International Convention for the Prevention of pollution from Ships (MARPOL).

Relevant parts of both SOLAS and MARPOL have been worked out in great detail and are included in the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code, thus making this Code the legal instrument for maritime transport of dangerous goods and marine pollutants. As of 1st January 2004, the IMDG Code will become a mandatory requirement.

Classification of dangerous goods

For all modes of transport (sea, air, rail, road and inland waterways) the classification (grouping) of dangerous goods, by type of risk involved, has been drawn up by the UNITED NATIONS Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (UN).

Class 6: Toxic and infectious substances

6.2.1 Definitions

이 규정의 목적 상 :

6.2.1.1 Infectious substances are substances which are known or are reasonably expected to contain pathogens. Pathogens are defined as micro-organisms (including bacteria, viruses, rickettsiae, parasites, fungi) and other agents such as prions, which can cause disease in

인간 또는 동물.

Note: Toxins from plant, animal or bacterial sources which do not contain any infectious substances or toxins that are not contained in substances which are infectious substances should be considered for classification in Division 6.1 and assigned to UN3172.

6.2.1.2 Biological products are those products derived from living organisms which are manufactured and distributed in accordance with the requirements of appropriate national authorities, which may have special licensing requirements, and are used either for prevention, treatment, or diagnosis of disease in humans or animals, or for development, experimental or investigational purposes related thereto. They include, but are not limited to, finished or unfinished products such as vaccines.

6.2.1.3 Cultures are the result of a process by which pathogens are intentionally. This definition does not include patient specimens as defined in 6.2.1.4.

6.2.1.4 Patient specimens are those collected directly from humans or animals, including, but not limited to, excreta, secreta, blood and its components, tissue and tissue fluid swabs, and body parts being transported for purposes such as research, diagnosis, investigational activities, disease treatment and prevention.

6.2.1.5 Medical or clinical wastes are wastes derived from the medical treatment of animals or humans or from bio-research.

6.2.2 Classification of Infectious Substances

6.2.2.1 Infectious substances must be classified in Division 6.2 and assigned to UN2814, UN2900, UN 3291 or UN3373, as appropriate.

6.2.2.2 Infectious substances are divided into the following categories.

6.2.2.2.1 Category A:

감염된 물질은 노출되었을 때 영구적 인 장애, 건강한 사람이나 동물에서 생명을 위협하는 치명적인 질병을 일으킬 수있는 형태로 운반되는 전염성 물질. 이 기준을 만족하는 물질의 표기 예는 표 3.6.D에 나와있다.

주 : 노출은 감염성 물질이 보호 포장재 외부로 방출되어 사람이나 동물과 신체적 접촉을 유발할 때 발생합니다.

(a) 인간과 동물 모두에서 질병을 일으키는 이러한 기준을 충족시키는 전염성 물질은 UN 2814에 할당되어야한다. 동물에서만 질병을 일으키는 감염 물질은 UN 2900에 할당되어야한다.

(b) 유엔 2814 또는 유엔 2900에 대한 양도는 인간 또는 동물의 출생의 알려진 병력 및 증상, 지방 특유의 지역 조건 또는 출처가 인간 또는 동물 인 개별 상황에 관한 전문적인 판단에 근거해야합니다.

노트:

1. UN 2814의 적절한 선적 명칭은 인체에 영향을 미치는 전염성 물질입니다. 유엔 2900의 적절한 선적 명칭은 전염성 물질로 동물에만 영향을 미친다.

2. 다음 표는 완전한 것이 아닙니다. 표에 나타나지 않지만 동일한 기준을 충족시키는 새로운 병원체 또는 출현하는 병원균을 포함하는 전염성 물질은 범주 A에 지정되어야한다. 또한 물질이 기준을 충족시키는 지에 대한 의심이있는 경우 카테고리 A에 포함됨.
