Regulation of Dangerous Goods

The Code shall be read in conjunction with the Dangerous Goods Ordinance and its subsidiary legislation and shall be effective from 31.3.2022.

The Code is an important technical resource to help the Dangerous Goods (DG) practitioners in Hong Kong to comply with the legal requirements of the Dangerous Goods Ordinance.  It is important that all DG practitioners understand and comply with the requirements of the Code, including the consignors, packers, drivers and users, along with DG professionals and trainers.

Due to the inherent hazardous nature of DG, it is important to pay special care in the handling of these DG so as to minimise any danger to life and property.
