IMDG Code: Segregation
Segregation is achieved by maintaining certain distances between incompatible dangerous goods or by requiring steel bulkheads or decks between them.
An overview of these possible combinations is given as a table at 7.2.4 of the IMDG Code, and specific segregation codes are provided under 7.2.8. These codes, which are designated with the letters SG and a number, are used in DGL column 16b. (For example, for UN 1791 HYPOCHLORITE SOLUTION, column 16b lists the segregation code SG20.) Looking at the table of segregation codes, we find the statement "Stow away from acids." A graphic flowchart, followed by several examples of its use, is provided after the segregation code table to aid in the process of deciding whether a given good must be segregated.
