10、ed by UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA on 20 Sep 2008 AS 293119992 PREFACE This Standard was prepared by the Joint Australian/New Zealand Standards Committee CH/9, Safe Handling of Chemicals, to supersede the 1994 edition and align with the sixth edition of the Australian Dangerous Goods Code (ADG Code
11、). It is an essential guide to the AS 1678 series, Emergency procedure guides (EPGs), including Group text emergency procedure guides (GTEPGs), devised for the safe land transport of dangerous goods within Australia. The purpose of this Standard is to enable prospective users of EPGs to select and u
12、se the correct EPG for the type of dangerous goods cargo. Use of the correct EPG permits better management of transport emergencies involving dangerous goods. This edition of the Standard is aligned with the sixth edition of the ADG Code, and lists the Proper Shipping Names and UN Numbers of all dan
13、gerous goods for which a relevant EPG or GTEPG is published by Standards Australia. For dangerous goods not listed herein, HB 76, Dangerous goods Initial emergency response guide should be used. It is stressed that this Standard is supplementary to the ADG Code, for the sole purpose of providing inf
14、ormation on the selection and use of the appropriate EPG. It is not intended to be used as a substitute for any part of the ADG Code. This Standard is a result of consensus amongst Australian and New Zealand representatives on the Committee that it be produced as an Australian Standard. Copyright ST
