The Bill of Lading For Hazardous Materials is a critical document required whenever dangerous goods are transported within or through Belgium. It combines the traditional functions of a bill of lading with specialized hazardous materials documentation requirements under Belgian law, EU regulations, and international conventions. This document is essential for compliance with the Belgian Law of 3 May 1999 and related Royal Decrees concerning dangerous goods transport, as well as EU Directive 2008/68/EC. It provides proof of contract between the carrier and shipper, acts as a receipt for goods, and contains mandatory safety information including proper shipping names, UN numbers, hazard classes, and emergency procedures. The document must be prepared with extreme accuracy as it serves multiple purposes: legal compliance, safety guidance for handlers, and instructions for emergency responders.
