Hazcheck DGL Data

Trusted Dangerous Goods Regulatory Data for Your Applications

Access structured Dangerous Goods List information from major transport regulations through Hazcheck DGL Data.

Designed for integration into existing software and databases, Hazcheck DGL Data helps organisations incorporate specialist dangerous goods information into their own applications and operational systems.

Structured Regulatory Information, Ready for Integration

Dangerous goods applications depend on accurate, well-structured regulatory information.

Building and maintaining that information internally can be complex, particularly when multiple transport regulations and amendment cycles must be supported.

Hazcheck DGL Data provides access to specialist Dangerous Goods List information in formats suitable for integration into customer systems.

This allows organisations to focus on developing their own applications while drawing on established Hazcheck regulatory datasets.

Regulatory Coverage

Hazcheck DGL Data is available for a range of dangerous goods transport regulations, including:

IMDG Code

Dangerous Goods List information for maritime transport, based on Chapter 3.2 of the IMDG Code.

US 49 CFR

Hazardous materials information based on the Hazardous Materials Table in 49 CFR 172.101, including relevant supporting provisions such as the text of special provisions and reportable quantity values.

ADR

Dangerous Goods List information for road transport, including applicable special provisions and related regulatory data, such as the Emergency Action Codes used in the UK, Australia and New Zealand.

RID

Dangerous Goods List information supporting dangerous goods transport by rail, including the text of the special provisions for carriage.

TDG

Relevant dangerous goods information from Canada’s Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations (Schedule 1), including the text of the special provisions.

ADN

Dangerous Goods List information for transport on inland waterways, including the text of the special provisions for carriage.

Datasets are available individually or in supported combinations, depending on licensing requirements.

Designed for Your Applications

Hazcheck DGL Data can support internal compliance systems, cargo management applications, transport software, regulatory reference tools and other software requiring structured dangerous goods information.

Data can be supplied in Excel, CSV or Microsoft Access database format. Available data formats and licensing arrangements can be discussed with our team to suit the intended use.

NCB Hazcheck also supplies the IMDG Coded Variant List (CVL) as a free resource to help companies exchange IMDG Code information in EDI messages such as BAPLIE and IFTMBF, in partnership with the SMDG Group.

Specialist Data, Ongoing Maintenance

Hazcheck DGL Data is supported by NCB Hazcheck’s experience in dangerous goods regulatory data management.

Available licences can include updated information corresponding to supported regulatory amendments and editions, helping customers maintain their applications as regulatory requirements evolve.

Prices are based on the number of end users with access to the system onto which the data will be loaded. Data is supplied on an annual licence fee basis, usually on a two-year term, and includes all updates and errata during that time.
