First published in 1965, the
International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code has become the mandatory framework for all aspects of handling dangerous goods and marine pollutants in sea transport.

Although it is directed primarily at sea transport, the provisions of the IMDG Code may affect a whole range of industries and services.

Manufacturers, packers, shippers, feeder services such as road and rail and port authorities will find authoritative advice on classification, stowage, segregation, packing, labeling, terminology and emergency response action.
