OPS MSDS Team

Ops MSDS team will review all related documents for verification and assess the inquiry prior to approval.
Should the MSDS be granted, the MSDS team will go on to determine if single or bundle approval is required according to risk level/commodity or handling criteria.
Any product or commodity with low risk/human consumption products or which does not possess any high risk to harm may be subject to bundle approval.
Any confirmed Dangerous good product/commodity may only be granted single approval.
In the event of a non-confirmed of MSDS/commodity status, the Ops MSDS team will divert the enquiry to the expert DG Coordinator for approval.
Each approval obtained MUST include a consent notice for the agent/shipper to be present during cargo lodgement at the appointed CTO with the serial number.
