The information required for transport, handling and storage operations has also to be provided in the fullest possible form. See for example TIS Cargo information pages (www.tis-gdv.de) (see Section 14).
The following risk factors are examined on the Cargo information pages:
- Temperature
- Humidity/Moisture
- Ventilation
- Biotic activity
- Gases
- Self-heating/Spontaneous combustion
- Odor
- Contamination
- Mechanical influences
- Toxicity/Hazards to health
- Shrinkage/Shortage/Theft
- Insect infestation/Diseases
