DG Compliance Audits —
Find the Gap Before the Inspector Does.
A compliance audit is your best defense against regulatory enforcement action. Our auditors identify documentation gaps, classification errors, and training deficiencies before they become incidents or fines.
Request a ConsultationWhat Auditors Find — And What It Costs
Companies that wait for a regulatory inspection to discover compliance gaps face fines, operational shutdowns, and reputational damage that internal audits prevent at a fraction of the cost.
Outdated Classification Records
Products reclassified in recent IATA or IMDG amendments may still be shipped under superseded UN numbers or PSNs — a direct violation auditors catch immediately.
Documentation Gaps
Missing shipper certifications, incorrect DGD format, or outdated emergency contact information are common findings that invalidate otherwise-compliant shipments.
Unqualified Personnel
Staff signing dangerous goods declarations without current IATA or IMDG recurrent training creates personal and corporate liability — and is among the most frequently cited violations.
Invalid Packaging Records
UN performance test certificates that have expired, packaging used beyond its authorized specifications, or missing inner/outer compatibility records.
What a GGM Compliance Audit Covers
Our audits follow a structured methodology based on IATA DGR, IMDG Code, and SCT requirements — covering documentation, classification records, packaging, training, and internal procedures.
Documentation Review
Shipper's declarations, DGDs, emergency response documentation, and internal SOPs reviewed against current regulatory requirements.
Classification Records Verification
UN number, PSN, hazard class, packing group, and special provisions verified against current editions for all regularly shipped substances.
Packaging & Labelling Inspection
Physical review of packaging stock, UN certification currency, label inventory, and marking materials against applicable packing instructions.
Training Records Assessment
Training certificates reviewed for currency, scope, and applicability — including function-specific versus general awareness requirements.
Gap Report & Remediation Plan
Findings documented with specific regulatory reference, risk rating, and prioritized remediation steps your team can act on immediately.
Auditors Who Know What Regulators Look For
Our audit team has conducted DG compliance reviews for pharmaceutical, chemical, energy, and manufacturing operations across Mexico and cross-border routes.
Regulatory-Grade Methodology
Our audit protocol mirrors the checklists used by IATA, SCT, and DOT inspectors — so findings reflect actual enforcement risk, not internal preferences.
Actionable Gap Reports
Every finding is cited against the specific regulation, edition, and section — giving your team the exact reference needed to verify and remediate.
Pre- and Post-Audit Support
We support remediation after the audit and offer a follow-up review to confirm findings are closed before any scheduled regulatory inspection.
Industry-Specific Experience
Pharmaceutical, chemical, energy, and aerospace DG profiles audited — each with unique classification complexity and packaging requirements.
