Identification and Classification Report for Air Transport of Goods (ICRATG) is commonly known as Air Transport Identification (ATI) or Identification, which never occurs in maritime transport. The maritime transport usually requires the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), which, in fact, is not a detection or identification report or a certification program, but more like a technical specification that focuses on safe operation guidelines and has a fundamental difference from ICRATG (or ATI).
