...
There are hazardous materials regulations in the 49 CFR that provide segregation restrictions for the transport of certain materials.
Scope
In Canada, the TDG Regulations only have segregation rules for Class 1, Explosives.
Regulatory citations
- 49 CFR 177.848 — Segregation of hazardous materials
Key definitions
- None
Summary of requirements
In Part V - Means of Containment, explosives are assigned Compatibility Groups, designated by letters following the division number. Explosives may not be transported together in the same means of transport unless the compatibility group letters for the materials match.
Even though there are no other restrictions, different types of dangerous goods should be separated so that there would not be a mixing of materials if an incident/accident occurred.
Refer to the 49 CFR Segregation Table for Hazardous Materials for guidance.
