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.

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. 2.
