<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Dear all,<br>
<br>
really don't want to self-promote, but recent posts on NHColl seem
to underline, that some issues with shipping of specimens
apparently persist, even though we have been active to amend regs
to ease importation and shipping. Most of the issues are centred
around improper documentation and handing, but also because of
some recent changes or different interpretation of existing laws.
We try to give an update in our shipping workshop.<br>
<br>
Fluids: since Berlin, we (Julian Carter, John Simmons, Ollie
Crimmen & I) have been working on the baseline standards of
fluid collections, a project that was originally launched by Chris
Collins with support of the Clothworkers Foundation at the NHM in
London. So we are nearly done with the baselines for fluid
collections (invertebrates and vertebrates) and tried to include
botany collections as well, even though this part could surely
gain from your input.<br>
<br>
Hope to see you there<br>
<br>
Dirk<br>

in 2014. First outcomes to develop a framework to categorise
sustainable approaches towards fluid preservation benchmarks
and standards were presented during a workshop at the SPNHC
conference in Berlin in 2016. In this next step, we will
present effective and achievable standards and a consensus
what baseline standards should be.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

workshop gives a comprehensive introduction to relevant
regulations and international laws researchers and
institutions should consider when shipping specimens
internationally. Covered areas include customs law,
veterinary and animal by-product regulations, CITES and
species protection legislation, IATA Dangerous Good
Regulation (including an initial training for A180 shipping
of ethanol preserved specimens) and practical advice for
packaging and shipping of specimens. The final presentation
will discuss potential effects of the Nagoya Protocol on the
exchange of specimens. All presentations will be made
available for self-training after the workshop.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
