TC Adopts Amendments to Streamline TDG Regulations

On July 12, 2017, an amendment entitled Regulations Amending the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations (TDGR) (International Harmonization Update, 2016) was published in Part II of the Canada Gazette. The adopted amendments are accessible here. This amendment allows stakeholders to use the most recent versions of certain international codes and safety standards for means of containment. The main driver for this change is to increase efficiency and eliminate the burden associated with having to comply with both current international and outdated domestic regulations.
