The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has taken a significant step forward in digitalising the dangerous goods supply chain following the adoption of the e-Dangerous Goods Declaration (eDGD) standards.
The standards are an electronic approach to manage the IATA Dangerous Goods Declaration (DGD), leveraging industry initiatives to digitalise data and embrace data sharing platform principles.
The benefits of implementing e-DGD with clearly defined data governance include improved transparency, traceability and data quality, which will improve process efficiency and reduce errors and delays.
