Significant regulatory changes have recently been made by Transport Canada, which have created a need for a new release of the Canadian Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations (TDGR). Labelmaster’s new edition of the TDGR is available October 16, 2014 and has been update through August 2014 and includes part 4 updates. 

This informative publication is written for Canadian shippers and carriers as a quick reference to Transport Canada’s dangerous goods requirements. The Canadian regulations have been harmonized by Transport Canada with both international and U.S. regulations for the transport of dangerous goods.

The TDGR contains requirements for labeling, packaging, placarding, training and exemptions. TDGR has been written and organized for easy understanding.  This new edition covers the adoption of new markings for organic peroxides, marine pollutants and limited quantities as well as the addition of a definition for “overpack”.

Labelmaster’s TDGR is designed to be user friendly and features fully illustrated guides and tables, tabs and colored borders that make finding important sections quick and easy.  It also features a what’s new section and all new content appears in blue text for quick reference.

The TDGR can be customized to meet specific customer needs with custom covers and additional customer specific content. The standard bound TDGR is also available on a USB drive and as an online version.
