Georgia updates rail digitalisation and dangerous-goods controls

Verified facts

• The Rail Transport Agency’s May 2026 reform report states that dangerous-goods rules were put into operation in line with international standards and that electronic services, including the Train Drivers’ Database and a Digital Railway initiative, were introduced. A reform report does not confirm readiness or access for a named freight movement, system user or supplier.
• The Agency’s September 2026 public notice states that an electronic platform had been created to help preparation for the dangerous-goods specialist certification examination. The notice concerns an examination-preparation tool; it does not establish that a person is certified, that training is accepted, or that a company can conduct a movement.
• Georgia’s Railway Code states that railway carriage of dangerous goods is subject to the relevant international framework and national procedure, and identifies additional written-notification requirements for specified dangerous-goods classes. The legal text must be applied to the exact classification, cargo, roles, route and current rules; it is not a movement permission or product-compliance result.
• UNECE material provides independent reform context, including Georgia’s rail-safety authority and dangerous-goods rules. This contextual material does not validate a particular RID/SMGS classification, document, licence, operator, terminal, insurance arrangement, shipment or customer transaction.
