[en] The 'Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material' of the International Atomic Energy Agency contain also in the latest 1996 Edition (Revised) requirements for emergency response. As part of compliance assurance the relevant national and/or international organizations have to establish emergency provisions and procedures for the events of accidents or incidents during the transport of radioactive material to protect persons, property and the environment. In Germany due to its federal system the Ministries of Interior of the states have the main responsibility for emergency response. The responsible authorities have to give guidelines to the first responders (fire brigade, police, rescue service) for their first activities in case of an accident/incident. For this special case the European Chemical Industry Council (CEFIC) developed so called 'Emergency Response Intervention Cards' (ERICs) for the ADR member states. The class 7 ERICs were developed in Germany and the preparation for their use in Europe is now underway. The paper gives an example of such an ERIC to show which activities are necessary in the first 30 minutes after an accident happened. (author)
