Are TREC's legal to use in South Africa?
Dear Madam,
Your
e-mail dated 2011-07-06 refers. In terms of the
definitions contained in SANS 10231:2010 Transport of
dangerous goods - Operational requirements for road
vehicles it appears that transport emergency cards can
either can be generated using the CEFIC system (TREMCARD)
or drawn up in accordance with the requirements of SANS
10232-4 (TREC).
An
extract from SANS 10231:2010 in so far as it relates to
these two types of transport emergency is herewith
attached.
Should
you require any further clarification on this matter you
are advised to contact Elmarie Steyn (SABS Standards) at
telephone (012) 428-6777 or e-mail elmarie.steyn@sabs.co.za
Kind regards.

TRECs are valid Tremcards: News Article
September 3rd, 2009
Transport emergency cards in the form of TRECs are now
as valid as Tremcards, according to the 15th amendment
of the regulations under the National Road Traffic Act,
93 of 1996, published in Government Gazette 32258 on 27
May.
Regulation 273 amends the definition of 'Tremcard' to
include TREC cards, defined in the local standard:
"Transport emergency cards. can either be generated from
the European Council of Chemical Manufactures'
Federation system, or in accordance with SANS 10232-4,
listing the hazards and emergency information for a
material being transported for use by the driver during
an incident, or by the emergency services."
The definition in SANS 10231: 2006, in Clause 3.1.25,
determines 'a card that lists the hazards and emergency
information for a material being transported, that is
intended for the use by the driver during an incident,
or by emergency services. The transport emergency card
can either be generated from the European Council of
Chemical Manufacturers' Federation
(CEFIC) system, called a Tremcard, or in accordance with
SANS 10232-4, called a TREC.'
