The report intends to a give a brief overview of the state of knowledge and research in the field of transportation stresses with particular focus on the transport of dangerous goods. Some major projects, recently completed (like national German projects on testing of packaging and tanks for dangerous goods) or just be started (like the joint European projects SRETS and CHEMPACK) provide information to be further developed. Within the project additional information has been collected and analysed. This includes a questionnaire regarding the transportation sector's views and experience on goods damage, supplement by some interviews. Measurements have also been carried out to get a picture of what stress levels and problem areas that exist in today's transportation chains. Finally an analysis of existing test methods is presented and some tools for further work (like a statistical approach) are highlighted.
