GLOSSARY OF ABBREVIATIONS 831 Coatings for toys Under a proposed new EEC directive [122], apart from physical, mechan­ ical and flammability constraints, toys will be subject to control of their chemical composition by limiting the bioavailability of a range of heavy metals (on a daily intake basis). The numerical relationship between the acceptable daily intake and the corresponding concentration of the rele­ vant components in the coating, is currently under discussion as a topic for a revision of European Standard EN 7l. This will have a knock-on effect on European national legislation once it achieves an adoptable form. Transport There are separate international recommendations for the transport of dangerous goods multimodally, by sea, by air, by road and by rail. These continue to be developed but there is evidence of increasing harmonisa­ tion with UN recommendations [65]. Mostyn has compiled a series of guides [123], bringing together the various route requirements for the main UN classes of dangerous goods. Light gauge metal packaging, made of steel or tin plate (thickness less than 0.5 mm) is extensively used in the conveyance of printing inks. From 1989 such packaging will be subject to regulations for sea, air, and international road/rail transport and will be required to pass performance tests and bear an official mark as evidence of compliance 1124].
