Required Data
Purpose: The purpose of this
exercise is to show you how to enter the basic data needed for using dangerous
goods classification.
Windows:
Dangerous Goods Classification Basic Data
Dangerous Goods Classification Basic Data/Transportation Hazard Class
Dangerous Goods Classification Basic Data/Packaging Group
Dangerous Goods Classification Basic Data/Tunnel Code
Dangerous Goods Classification Basic Data/Proper Shipping Name
Dangerous Goods Classification Basic Data/Additional Shipping Description
Dangerous Goods Classification Basic Data/Transport Limited Quantity
Dangerous Goods Classification Basic Data/Transportation Hazard Comment
- Open the Dangerous Goods Classification Basic Data window and click the
Transportation Hazard
Class tab.
- Populate the tab to view
the existing Transportation Hazard Classes. Decide if the existing classes
fit your needs. Add one or more Transportation Hazard Classes, if needed,
following steps 3–8 below.
Note: If the existing classes are appropriate,
you can optionally complete the following steps to understand the process of
adding Transportation Hazard Classes, and then delete the new class record(s).
Once a part record is linked to a Transport Hazard Class, the Transportation
Hazard Class cannot be deleted. If multiple people using the same database enter
their own Transportation Hazard Classes, a large number of unnecessary
Transportation Hazard Classes could soon accumulate.
For Packaging Group and Tunnel Code you will do the
same exercise. For the other parameters Proper Shipping Name, Packaging
Material, Additional Shipping Description, Transport Limited Quantity and
Transportation Hazard Comment you will only follow steps 3-7 below.
- Create a new record.
- Using no more than 10 alphanumeric characters
enter a transport hazard class in the Hazard Class field.
- Enter an appropriate description in the
Description field.
- Save the record.
- Repeat steps 3–8 to enter additional
transportation hazard classes, if necessary.
Note: If you are doing this exercise only to
understand the process, remember to delete your record.
