Where can I find a generic transportation of dangerous goods form?

There is no form required to transport dangerous goods and Transport Canada does not issue any forms to be used for this purpose. To legally transport dangerous goods, a document only needs to satisfy the documentation requirements of sections 3.5 and 3.6 of the TDG Regulations. A shipping document must therefore be created by the consignor, or the information required added to any existing document.

 

Where can I get my product analyzed for classification?

The TDG Directorate maintains a listing of laboratories which provide dangerous goods analysis and classification. Presence on this list is voluntary. Please note that the Directorate has not examined or certified any of the laboratories and inclusion on this list does not imply endorsement or approval by Transport Canada or the Directorate. This list of laboratories can be consulted at: http://www.tc.gc.ca/tdg/contacts/labs/menu.htm
