How much do you know about the five major transportation appraisal reports in Freight Classroom?
With the development of logistics, transportation safety has become increasingly important, so the number of legal and compliance reports for transportation is constantly increasing. Common cargo transportation reports mainly include the following:
01. Appraisal Certificate of Freight Transportation Conditions
Certification for Transport of Goods refers to the understanding of the transportation hazards of goods during air, water, road, or railway transportation in order to ensure their safety. The identification of transportation conditions for goods is based on relevant regulations and standards for the transportation of dangerous goods at home and abroad, to make assessments and recommendations on the safety of goods transportation.
Internationally, there are special and strict requirements for the packaging, stowage, isolation, loading and unloading, management, transportation conditions, and fire emergency measures of exported dangerous goods. The identification of packaging containers for export dangerous goods aims to ensure that the packaging containers containing export dangerous goods meet relevant requirements. Dangerous goods using packaging containers that have not been identified or have been identified as unqualified are not allowed to be exported.
02. Air freight appraisal report:
Scope of application: specifically for goods transported by air. Due to the high safety requirements of air transportation, many goods need to be appraised before air transportation to determine whether they are suitable for air transportation and the precautions to be taken during the air transportation process.
Appraisal content: Evaluate whether the physical properties, chemical properties, packaging conditions, etc. of the goods meet the requirements of air transportation, such as whether there are hazardous characteristics such as flammability, explosiveness, corrosiveness, and radioactivity. For some special goods, such as lithium batteries, magnetic items, etc., stricter identification is required.
03. Marine transportation appraisal report:
Scope of application: For goods transported by sea. Due to the large volume and long transportation time of sea freight, as well as the complex sea transportation environment, it is necessary to assess the adaptability of the goods to sea transportation.
Appraisal content: mainly includes the evaluation of the stability, water resistance, corrosion resistance, and other aspects of the goods, as well as the risks and countermeasures that the goods may encounter during sea transportation. For some dangerous goods, they also need to be classified and labeled according to the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Regulations.
04. Railway transportation appraisal report:
Scope of application: Applicable to goods transported by railway. Railway transportation has a wide range of applications both domestically and internationally. For some special goods, railway transportation identification is required to ensure transportation safety.
Appraisal content: Based on the characteristics and requirements of railway transportation, evaluate the weight, volume, packaging, loading method, etc. of the goods, and determine whether the goods have hazardous characteristics such as flammability, explosiveness, toxicity, etc.
05. Highway transportation appraisal report:
Scope of application: Goods used for road transportation. Highway transportation has high flexibility, but there are also certain safety risks, especially for large, heavy, or special goods that require identification.
Appraisal content: including whether the size, weight, center of gravity, packaging, etc. of the goods meet the requirements of road transportation, as well as the stability and safety of the goods during transportation. For some dangerous goods, it is also necessary to check the qualifications of the transport vehicles and drivers.
06. MSDS Report
MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) is a document used by chemical manufacturers and importers to clarify the physical and chemical properties of chemicals and the potential health hazards they may pose to users. In international trade, MSDS is an important indicator for measuring a company's strength, image, and management level. High quality chemical products accompanied by high-quality MSDS can help increase business opportunities. There is a fundamental difference between MSDS and cargo transportation condition identification documents, as they focus more on safety operation guidelines rather than directly identifying transportation conditions.
07. Hazard Classification Characteristics Identification Report
A Hazard Classification and Identification Report is a detailed report that records and evaluates the hazardous characteristics of a specific product, especially chemicals and dangerous goods. The main purpose of this report is to classify the hazards of the product and identify its potential health, environmental, and physical hazards in order to take appropriate risk management measures
08. UN38.3 Test Report
UN38.3 refers to Section 38.3 of the United Nations Manual of Tests and Standards for the Transport of Dangerous Goods, which requires lithium batteries to undergo a series of safety tests before transportation, including height simulation, high and low temperature cycling, vibration testing, impact testing, etc., to ensure the safety of lithium battery transportation. For batteries or charged products that require air or sea transportation, UN38.3 testing must be conducted first, and an air or sea transportation appraisal report must be applied for based on the testing report.
09. 1.2-meter Drop Test Report
The main purpose of the 1.2-meter drop test is to simulate the possible drop situations that may occur during transportation, storage, or use of the product, in order to evaluate its shell strength, internal structural stability, and the integrity of the battery cells (if applicable). This type of testing helps ensure that the product does not pose safety hazards such as internal short circuits, electrical leakage, rupture, fire, etc. in the event of accidental drops.
The 1.2-meter drop test is widely used in products involving sensitive or hazardous materials such as lithium batteries. These products include but are not limited to portable electronic devices, electric vehicle batteries, energy storage systems, etc. Through this test, the safety of these products during transportation and use can be ensured, reducing potential safety hazards.
Through this test, the stability and durability of the product can be evaluated in the event of accidental drops, providing important safety guidance for the design, production, and use of the product. At the same time, this test is also a necessary step for the product to comply with international safety standards and regulatory requirements.
Therefore, these reports play a crucial role in the transportation of goods, helping to ensure the safe transportation of goods and meet relevant regulatory requirements.
