Description
The Department for Transport Dangerous Goods Division (DGD) intends to let a contract for the provision of research into the development of performance-based safety standards for petroleum road fuel tankers, using a combination of physical impact testing and validated, computer-based modelling/simulation software. It is anticipated that the outputs from this research will underpin UK proposals for test procedures to be included in the relevant standards and/or regulations. DGD leads on the policy for the safe and secure carriage of dangerous goods by road and rail and has oversight of the sea and air modes. Goods that are classified as hazardous are vital to our economy and a modern way of life, and can include chemicals for industry, fuel for transport and to heat and light our homes, or batteries which power our electric devices. Movement of such goods is essential, but it must be carried out in a way which minimises the risk of harm to people, property or the environment. The Division's objective is therefore to ensure that the regulations continue to safeguard the carriage of dangerous goods, but in a manner that is proportionate and does not needlessly hinder trade. The division also exists to ensure that the UK compliance and enforcement framework is as effective as possible. The DGD research programme derives from recent experience with non-compliant petrol tankers which could have led to the failure of some fuel deliveries. The programme supports implementation of lessons learned and further proportionate improvements to the design, construction, testing and inspection of tankers, so as to reduce the risk of non-compliance and avoid further issues. It will also support the UK negotiating position at international standards fora, minimising the risk of disproportionate regulations and backing the UK interest.
