The Dangerous Goods Emergency Action Code List 2011

NCEC was again commissioned by the Department for Communities and Local Government (CLG) to produce the Dangerous Goods Emergency Action Code List (EAC List), published by TSO.

The EAC List 2011 supersedes the 2009 list and is effective from 1 July 2011. The 2009 List should no longer be used from that date.

Bill Atkinson of NCEC commented:
“I am pleased that once again NCEC has been given the responsibility for publishing the Dangerous Goods Emergency Action Code List. We have had positive feedback on the new format, and we continue to welcome feedback on the new book and any ideas on how it can be further improved for future editions”.
 
Duty holders are required to use the 2011 EAC List for the application of the appropriate EACs under the Carriage of Dangerous Goods and Use of Transportable Pressure Equipment Regulations 2011 (CDG 2011) - also effective from 1st July 2011.

These regulations implement the Regulations Concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Rail (RID), and the European Agreement Concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR).
