UN Number vs Hazmat Load Segregation Guide

Hazardous Materials Reference Guide: You can enter the UN number after starting the application using a big and easy to use keypad. Information can thus be retrieved quickly. This product uses ERI-Cards based Information but is not endorsed, certified or otherwise approved in any way by CEFIC. "The CEFIC Emergency Response Intervention Cards (ERICards or ERIC's) provide guidance on initial actions for fire crews when they first arrive at the scene of a chemical transport accident without having appropriate and reliable product specific emergency information at hand". (source: :www.ericards.net) The ERICards are displayed as a table following the seven categories. An internet connection is not needed to display the ERICards. Therefore, the app can be used with an ipod touch or in remote areas without internet connection. ------------------------ Disclaimer: The information displayed is based on the CEFIC-"Emergency Response Intervention Cards" (ERI-Cards). They are available at the Cefic website free of charge. The price you pay for this application is for the user-interface, data-formatting and search function. Cefic has developed ERICards in good faith and has made every effort to ensure the reliability and completeness of the information provided. They are designed as guidelines to be used by fire crews, in the case of an emergency response to a chemical transport accident. The information available on the ERICards should be applied on the basis of sound judgement, taking into consideration the particular circumstances of each accident and the specialised equipment available. Consequently, this information may not be sufficient or appropriate in all cases and the Cefic and 2denker will not be liable for the results of any misinterpretation or misuse of this information by fire crews or any other persons.

Easy-to-review version of the "Segregation for Hazardous Materials" tables found in CFR 49 §177.848 This app utilizes the "Segregation for Hazardous Materials" and "Class 1 Explosives Compatibility" Tables found in DOT/PHMSA Hazmat and IATA Dangerous Goods (DG) Handling Regulations. Because of their hazards, some hazardous materials may not be loaded, transported, sorted or stored together during the course of transportation. In other cases, the materials may loaded/shipped together as long as they are separated so that if any of the packages leak during transport, the leaked material would not commingle with other hazardous materials. Using the "Segregation Tables" in the D.O.T's Hazardous Materials or IATA's Dangerous Goods Handling Regulations, employees determine the requirements for loading/shipping different classes of hazardous materials on the same vehicle or aircraft. The information presented in this app can help the hazmat employee training requirements by supplementing knowledge with a quick and easy to use interface.
