CLA-101 Classification of Dangerous Goods

The classification of dangerous goods is a complex procedure which requires a thorough knowledge of the requirements of the TDGR. The latter is completely different from that of WHMIS. Several shippers produce declarations based on random classifications. Transport Canada may require proof of your procedure for classifying your dangerous goods.
