Public Consultation
The Secretariat of Infrastructure, Communications and Transportation has requested public consultation on a law proposal published on October 29th, 2021. This consultation aims to align international standards for the transportation of dangerous goods.
Regulatory Process
As part of Mexico's regulatory process, agencies must publish their responses to comments obtained during the public consultation. These publications serve as valuable supplementary information for the regulatory affairs department, which makes the final draft of the law adjustments before publishing the final rules. The answers to comments are categorized as "Partially Sourced" or "Partially Proceeded" depending on whether certain comment conditions were accepted, often with some modifications.
Key Responses
The responses are published by the secretariat on PROY-NOM-011-SCT2/2021, addressing comments and questions regarding conditions for transporting dangerous goods packed or packaged in limited quantities. This is critically important for manufacturers to maintain internal processes that comply with transportation rules.
Updating Standards
The change proposal is designed to ensure alignment with international practices while facilitating foreign trade requirements, thereby proposing the addition of this additional statute.
Updating this Standard, the Official Mexican STANDARD NOM-011-SCT2/2021 regarding conditions for the transport of dangerous goods packed/packaged in limited quantities will be reviewed and updated regularly according to United Nations recommendations. In the absence of a recurring update from the Mexican government, the updates to the United Nations regulation will be recognized as best practices. This regulation is scheduled to come into force by the end of this year.
