1. GENERAL PROVISIONS
Article 1
This law sets the conditions under which carriage of dangerous goods and the actions in regard to that carriage are undertaken (preparation of goods for transport, loading, unloading and operations on the way), as well as supervision over the implementation of this Law.
Article 2
Dangerous goods, for the purpose of this law, are as follows: Class 1a - Explosive substances; Class 1b - Articles containing explosive substances; Class 1c - Propellants, fireworks and other explosive articles; Class 2 - Compressed gases, liquefied gases and gases dissolved under pressure; Class 3 - Flammable liquids; Class 4.1 - Flammable solids; Class 4.2 - Substances liable to self-combustion Class 4.3 - Substances that emit flammable gases in contact with water; Class 5.1 - Oxidizing substances; Class 5.2 - Organic peroxides; Class 6.1 - Toxins; Class 6.2 - Nasty and infectious substances; Class 7 - Radioactive substances; Class 8 - Corrosive (erosive) substances; Class 9 - Other dangerous goods. Explosive substances, articles containing explosive substances, propellants, fireworks and
other explosive articles (hereinafter: explosive goods) are solid and liquid chemical substances that have properties to, under suitable outer action (impact or friction), with explosive chemical decomposition, release energy in form of heat or gasses.
Compressed gases, liquefied gases and gases dissolved under pressure (hereinafter: gases) are substances which have critical temperature below 500 C, or steam pressure higher than 300 KPa (3 bar) at 500 C.
Flammable liquids are the liquids or the mixtures of liquids that, at temperature of 500 C, have steam pressure lower than 300 Kpa (3 bar), and a flashpoint lower than 1000 C.
Flammable solids are the solids that, in dry condition can easily be ignited in contact with flame or sparkle (sulphur, celluloid, nitrocellulose, red phosphorus, etc.), but are not disposed to spontaneous combustion.
Substances disposed to spontaneous combustion are substances that can inflame in contact with air or water without assistance of other substances (white and yellow phosphorus, zinc-alkyl, wastes, nitrocellulose films, raw cotton, used cloths, etc.).
Substances that emit flammable gases in contact with water are substances that in contact with water emit gases which can be inflamed in contact with flame or sparkle (sodium, potassium, calcium, calcium carbide, alkaline silicides, etc.).
Oxidizing substances are substances that can decompose in contact with other substances and could initiate fire (chlorides, perphorates, liquid solution of hydrogen, hydrogen peroxide, peroxides of alkaline metals and their mixtures, etc.).
Organic peroxides are the organic substances with higher degree of oxidation that could cause harmful consequences against the health or lives of people, or damage to the material property, and are less sensitive to explosion caused by dinitrobenzene in contact with flame, or to an impact or friction.
Toxins are substances of synthetic, biological or natural origin and preparations made of those substances entered in an organism, or in contact with the organism, could endanger lives or health of people or to have harmful impact to the environment.
Nasty and infectious substances are substances that have unpleasant odour or contain micro organisms or their toxins, which are known to cause infectious diseases to humans and animals (fresh unsalted or salted skin, wastes, liver, glands, faeces, etc).
Radioactive substances are substances with specific activity higher than 74 Bequerrels (0,02 microCiri) per gram.
Corrosive substances are substances, which, in contact with other substances or living organisms cause damage or destruction (sulphuric acid, nitric acid, bromine, formic acid, sodium hydroxide, etc.).
Other dangerous goods are substances that present danger while transported, and which can not be classified in the classes from 1 to 8 (asbestos, dry ice, magnetic materials, etc.).
Raw materials used for production of dangerous substances and the wastes are also considered as dangerous substances - if they have the characteristics of those substances.
Article 3
Companies and other legal entities and individuals that transport or hand over dangerous goods for transport and perform actions with regard to that transport, as well as the individuals that during the transport directly handle or in some other way come into contact with dangerous substances, are obliged to take preventive and protective measures as to provide protection of the lives and health of people, of the environment or the material property, that is, traffic safety.
If the dangerous substance has properties of some other dangerous substance classified in class 2, and those properties can endanger lives and health of people, environment or material property, companies and other legal entities and individuals transporting such substances or perform actions in connection with those transports, as well as the individuals that, during the transport, handle or in any other way come into contact with such substances are obliged to take preventive and protective measures as to hinder such dangers.
If the substance of Paragraph 2 of this Article has one or more characteristics because of which it can be classified in dangerous substances that need special authorization for transport, that substance can be transported only by approval of the competent authority, no matter how it has been classified.
Article 4 New discovered dangerous goods can be transported if they fulfill the conditions that are
previously established, in scientific research, as conditions that provide full security during their transport.
Article 5
Only adult persons that are professionally trained can handle dangerous goods. Dangerous goods can be transported only by persons that are professionally trained for handling and carriage of dangerous goods and are older than 21.
Those persons who are not trained to handle dangerous goods, if they are already familiar with the way of work, dangers and protection measures during the work, can just move, load,
unload or reload dangerous goods only under guidance and supervision of a person professionally trained for handling dangerous goods.
Professional training for persons handling dangerous goods and transporting dangerous goods can be done by companies that fulfill the technical conditions and have experts for accomplishing that kind of job and are authorized for that by the competent authority in the republic or the autonomous province.

Article 10 The packaging in which dangerous goods are transported must ensure protection of lives
and health of the people and environment during transport and handling of dangerous goods. The packaging in which dangerous goods are transported must be closed and
impermeable as to prevent any loss and spill of the contents during the transport.
The packaging, together with the covers, must be solid and strong enough in all parts as to prevent loosing during transport.
The dangerous substance may neither erode the material from which the packaging and the covers are made, nor create harmful or dangerous mixtures in contact with them.
