| The TDG Regulations allow an alternate classification under the ICAO TI for surface transport.
The ICAO TI has no risk group for Diagnostic Specimen UN3373.
Therefore, how does one choose the packaging for surface transport of this material since that is based on the risk group? |

| Do the TDG Regulations prescribe the use of a specific IATA form, in section 12.2(b)? |
Answer |
| No. The TDG Regulations indicate that the information required by the ICAO Technical Instructions must be shown on a shipping document in the format established in section 8.1.7 of the 42nd Edition of the Dangerous Goods Regulations published by the International Air Transport Association (IATA). However, there is no prescription to use the IATA form. |

| Is displaying the words "non-odorized" or "not odorized" on a rail tank car of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) that contains an odorant considered an infraction to the TDG Regulations? |
Answer |
| Displaying "non-odorized" or "not odorized" on rail tank cars is not misleading under the current TDG Act and Regulations as these words are not considered prescribed safety marks. Therefore, this would not be an offence, even if the rail tank car does contain odorized product. |

Question |
|
| Amendment #2 to the TDG Clear Language
Regs would allow the use of consumer
commodity instead of limited quantity
labelling. Seeing that amendment 2 will not
be Gazetted in time, can the carrier obtain a
permit that would allow its customers to
continue to use their consumer commodity
labels or does each shipper in Canada
have to either obtain a permit or print new
labels? |
Answer |
| The consignor would have to apply for a
permit or re-mark the means of containment
in accordance with section 1.17. |

Question |
|
| I transport a tank trailer loaded with
gasoline UN 1203. My next load is diesel
UN 1202, however the pump and hoses
have not been cleaned and still contain
gasoline residue, which placard should I
display on the trailer, 1202 or 1203? |
Answer |
| Our approach has been to placard for
what is on board the vehicle. If it is
emptied and refilled with diesel the 1202
placards would be displayed. |
