The Transport Regulations are supported by guidance documents that include:

• TS-G-1.1, Advisory Material for the IAEA Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material (IAEA, 2008a)

• TS-G-1.2, Planning and Preparing for Emergency Response to Transport Accidents Involving Radioactive Material (IAEA, 2002)

• TS-G-1.3, Radiation Protection Programmes for the Transport of Radioactive Material (IAEA, 2007b)

• TS-G-1.4, The Management System for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material (IAEA, 2008b)

• TS-G-1.5, Compliance Assurance for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material (IAEA, 2009b)

In addition to the documents already mentioned, two others are key to understanding the basis of, and application of, the requirements and guidance provided by the IAEA documents already mentioned. One is known as the fundamental safety principles (IAEA, 2006), and the other is the basic safety standards for radiation protection upon which many of the transport requirements are based (IAEA, 1996).
