Collective Mode-of-Transport Category 

The concept of collective mode-of-transport categories allows you to group mode-of-transport categories. This allows you to react more flexibly to the requirements of individual dangerous goods regulations.

The standard system contains the collective mode-of-transport category 99(All Mode-of-Transport Categories). You can build other collective mode-of-transport categories from the mode-of-transport categories listed below that are shipped with the standard system and from your own mode-of-transport categories.

 

MTrCat	Description
01	Road
02	Rail
03	Inland Waterway
04	Sea
05	Air Cargo
06	Air Passenger
08	Tanker
20	Pipeline

 

When you group mode-of-transport categories to form a collective mode-of-transport category, you should note the following:

 

·        One mode-of-transport category can be assigned to a number of collective mode-of-transport categories.

·        Collective mode-of-transport categories cannot be grouped to form collective mode-of-transport categories at a higher level.

·        Collective mode-of-transport categories must be assigned to the base mode-of-transport category 07 (Collective Mode-of-Transport Categories).

Note that the concepts behind base mode-of-transport categories and collective mode-of-transport categories are different.

 

You can group the mode-of-transport categories as shown in the following example:

MTrCat	Collective MTC
01 Road	98
02 Rail	98
03 Inland Waterway	98
01 Road	97
05 Air Cargo	97
