MATERIAL CHARACTERISATION & STRATEGY

Transport Classification for Mineral Products

From exploration to export, we provide the technical verification required to move mineral assets through global supply chains. By synchronising material chemistry with regulations, we de-risk project schedules and commercial cash flow.

Methodology: Systematic Classification

Whether you require a single GHS-compliant SDS or a comprehensive suite of transport classifications, we look beyond the individual document to ensure your material data is synchronised across the entire regulatory ecosystem.

Strategic Framework
  • The Context Synchronising material data across the entire regulatory ecosystem
  • The Strategy A consolidated Transport Classification Package defining chemistry, mineralogy, and physical parameters
  • Risk Mitigation Early-stage definition to avoid technical surprises and costly re-testing that stalls production
  • Engagement Advisory, Execution, and Operational Retainers
View Technical Case Studies
01

Discovery

Early technical insight to identify likely hazards for new mineral products before formal testing programs commence.

Early Risk Intelligence
  • Material & Transport Hazard Screen High-level review of chemistry, mineralogy, likely transport form, and potential classification triggers
  • Regulatory & Testing Outlook Indicative classification pathway and forward testing requirements
Phase Deliverables
Preliminary Hazard Screen Indicative Classification Pathway Testing Strategy & Forward Plan
02

Development & Feasibility

Defining regulatory strategy to de-risk logistics tendering and project design.

Execution Strategy
  • Testing Design Sample Integrity & fit-for-purpose Lab Oversight
  • Test execution and results interpretation Categorisation of appropriate DG, MHB and HME hazards
  • Technical Consolidation Verification for Authorities and Ship Masters
Phase Deliverables
GHS SDS ADG / IMDG / IMSBC Classifications MARPOL Annex V Classification TML
03

Production & Operations

Continuous cargo assurance and technical guardrails for steady-state shipping.

Cargo Assurance
  • Moisture Manaagement Plan Preparation of MMP
  • Assurance Cycles Periodic review of physical and chemical properties
  • Regulatory Maintenance Notification and impact management of changes to regulations
Operational Deliverables
MMP SDS Updates Shipper Declarations ADG / IMDG / IMSBC Classifications MARPOL Annex V Classification
04

By-Products & Waste

Transforming mineral residuals or legacy materials into defensible commercial products or compliant waste streams.

Resource Recovery
  • By-Product Characterisation Technical mapping for market entry of by-product & waste (e.g. slag, ash, and filter cakes)
  • Hazard Analysis Testing and categorisation of unknown or high-variability waste streams
  • Regulatory Re-classification Managed decision pathway: process waste v secondary product
