The Mexican government is currently consulting on proposed updates to its standard governing Transport Documents for dangerous goods (NOM-043-SCT/2003). The proposed new standard (NOM-043-SCT-SEMAR-ARTF-2022) would update Transport Document requirements to bring them into line with the most recent revision of the UN Model Regulations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (Revision 2022), which was adopted in 2021. 

The proposed standard would be of general application, being required of shippers, carriers and recipients across all transportation methods. 

Comments on the draft – accessible here – can be submitted for 60 days after its publication in the Mexican Official Journal, which took place on September 7, 2022.
