I read the draft notification. I request to clarify the following

1. As per the Rule 4 " Responsibility of occupier and consigner"

It says Assign one of more hazard class specified in schedule II in acordence with the criteria specified therein; however, I would like to know who will assaign it and how to apply for the same.

2. Do we need to follow the all the rules like UN no, diomond ring and other if we are transporting within India.

Request everyone give inputs.

it further adds to lot of confusion and mutliplicity of non enforceable legislation. MSIHC Rules that defines most of the provisions are spelt here. It would have been better if the MSIHC Rules were amended to include these changes with specific international guidelines to follow.
