Announcement 129 specifies that the inspection scope is the dangerous chemicals in the Catalogue of Dangerous Chemicals (the latest version), and dangerous goods that do not belong to dangerous chemicals are not included in the inspection scope.

Compared with Announcement 30 of 2012, Announcement 129 exempted the provision of the Performance Inspection Results of Outbound Goods Transport Packages from the original bulk products to bulk products and exempted the use of dangerous goods packaging by international regulations. For example, according to the Proposal on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (TDG), those meeting the relevant exemption conditions such as limited quantity may not be required to provide the performance inspection results of packaging, This makes the 129 bulletin more applicable and operable.
