0. INTRODUCTION
This specification provides the definition of the Dangerous
goods recapitulation message (DGRECA) to be used in Electronic
Data Interchange (EDI) between trading partners involved in
administration, commerce and transport.
1. SCOPE
1.1 Functional definition
A message to specify recapitulations pertaining to the
dangerous goods on board of a means of transport, e.g. a
vessel.
1.2 Field of application
The Dangerous goods recapitulation message may be used for both
national and international applications. It is based on
universal practice related to administration, commerce and
transport, and is not dependent on the type of business or
industry.
1.3 Principles
The message has been designed to enable control of pollution
caused by a means of transport, e.g. in the maritime and port
environment.
* The message relates to one means of transport.
* The message contains summary information of all dangerous
goods on board of the means of transport.
* Summary information is given as a recapitulation across all
consignments on board of the means of transport, for the
dangerous goods that adhere to a certain combination of IMO
code (i.e. International Maritime Organisation), IMO page
number, UNDG number (i.e. United Nations Dangerous Goods
number) and flashpoint.
Business area: control of pollution by a means of transport
(e.g. maritime pollution)
Sending function: authority (e.g. port), centralised database
of authorities
Receiving function: authority, search and rescue organisation.
