The [unique] "E" Licence (Dutch legislation)

Definition: “a legal entity who can, instead of private persons, institutes or other legal entities, act as the shipper and packer assuming all relevant legal responsibilities from the original shipper".

Problems can occur when irregular shippers, trading companies or unlicensed companies, offer hazardous cargo for air transport. The ICAO TI (Technical Instructions) are explicit: The Shipper must be trained ("must be qualified"). ICAO (division of United Nations) regulates international air transport of hazardous goods.

United Nations Member States are bound to implement any rules and regulations, as are accepted by ICAO, in their national law.

The Netherlands CAA, in concert with DGM and the industry, found the legal framework for shippers, to legally tender their consignments, containing dangerous goods, for air transport.

1988 - A new, unique legislation was introduced: " the E Licence ".

This special Certificate empowers the licensee (DGM) to act on behalf of the actual shipper, but also assuming all relevant legal liability responsibilities (of the actual Shipper).

Under this E license, DGM offers specialised services, related to transportation of hazardous materials. These services include consulting, packing (UN standard only), government exemptions, and assistance in arranging any legal options to perform door-to-door transport of any type of hazardous goods.

DGM's expertise is not limited to individual air, ocean, or road consignments. The organization also handles any combinations thereof. Each mode of transport has its own, historically grown, rules and regulations, and today it takes an expert to untie the knots.
