| United
Nations, UN, (international) and US Department of Transportation, DOT, (domestic)
have developed a scheme for the classification of certain types of dangerous goods
and give descriptions of the tests and procedures to arrive at a classification
for transport. Dangerous goods are chemical substances or articles containing
chemical substances, which can pose threat to public safety or to the environment
during transport through chemical, physical, or nuclear properties if not properly
identified or packaged. If they are accidentally released undesirable outcomes
such as fires and explosions can occur. The purpose of the various tests is to
provide adequate protection against the risks to life and property inherent in
the transportation of hazardous materials in commerce. How
We Can Help Chilworth Technology, Inc has the facilities and expertise
to conduct the various UN and DOT tests. In addition, Chilworth Technology, Inc.
has the familiarity with the regulations and can advise the clients on the classification. Capabilities Screening
