1.0 Definition of Dangerous Goods
Dangerous goods are articles or substances which are capable of posing a risk to health, safety,
property or the environment and which are shown in the list of dangerous goods in these Regulations
or which are classified according to these Regulations.
1.1 Basis of the Regulations
1.1.1 The UN Committee of Experts (CoE) develops recommended procedures
for the transport of all types of dangerous goods except radioactive materials.
These procedures, applicable to all modes of transport, are published in the
Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods.
1.1.2 The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) develops
recommended procedures for the safe transport of radioactive materials. These
procedures are published in the Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive
Material (IAEA TS-R-1). The requirements of these regulations as they pertain to
air transport are reflected in Section 10.
1.1.3 The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has used these
recommendations as the basis for developing the regulations for the safe transport
of dangerous goods by air. The ICAO regulations are codified in Annex 18 to the
Convention on International Civil Aviation and in its Technical Instructions for
the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air (Doc 9284-AN/905 as amended)
(Technical Instructions).
1.1.4 The IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (the Regulations) contain all of
the requirements of the Technical Instructions. IATA has included additional
requirements, which are more restrictive than the Technical Instructions and
reflect industry standard practices or operational considerations. These are
identified by the symbol ―‖ in the margin.
1.1.5 Sudan Civil Aviation Authority Regulations for Dangerous Goods SUCAR
Part 18, SCAP Part 11 and Sudan Safety ACT 2010 Article 49 and 50.

1.2 Application of these Regulations
1.2.1 Applicability
The IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations are applicable to:
All airlines which are Members or Associate Members of IATA;
All airlines which are party to the IATA Multilateral Interline Traffic Agreement — Cargo; and
All shippers and agents that offer consignments of dangerous goods to these operators.
1.2.2 Exceptions
1.2.2.1 Except for information provided to operator employees, as shown in 9.5.2, the provisions of
these Regulations do not apply to dangerous goods carried on an aircraft where the dangerous goods
are:
(a) To provide medical aid to a patient during flight when those dangerous goods:
1. Have been placed on board with the approval of the operator; or
2. Form part of the permanent equipment of the aircraft when it has been adapted for specialized use;
providing that;
3. Gas cylinders have been manufactured specifically for the purpose of containing and transporting
that particular gas;
4. Equipment containing wet cell batteries is kept and, when necessary secured, in an upright position
to prevent spillage of the electrolyte.
1.2.2.2 Dangerous Goods Packages opened by customs and other Authorities
Any package opened during an inspection must, before being forwarded to the consignee, be restored
by qualified persons to condition, which complies with these regulation.
1.3 Shipper's Responsibilities
Shipper must comply fully with the IATA DGR when a consignment of dangerous goods is offered to
an operator. Shipper must also comply with any regulations required by the state of origin, transit and
destination. For further details refer to IATA DGR 1.3.

1.4 Operator's Responsibilities
When accepting cargo for transportation by air it is the operator’s cargo acceptance staff that
has the responsibility to ensure, as far as possible, that the consignment does not contain
dangerous goods unless shipper has prepared the shipment of dangerous goods in
accordance with the Regulations. A checklist must be used to accept declared dangerous
goods consignments, the eight responsibilities for an operator IATA DGR 1.4.1

1.5 Training Requirements
Initial & Recurrent Training
1.5.1 The successful application of regulations concerning the transport of dangerous goods and the
achievement of their objectives are greatly dependent on the appreciation by all individuals concerned
of the risks involved and on a detailed understanding of the Regulations. This can only be achieved by
properly planned and maintained initial and recurrent training programmes for all persons concerned in
the transport of dangerous goods.
1.5.2 Training must be provided or verified upon the employment of personnel identified in the
categories specified in Table 1.5.A.
1.5.3 All categories of staff involved in the movement of dangerous goods by air are legally required to
have mandated job-specific training. Training must be provided or verified when an employer hires an
individual who will be involved in the movement of dangerous goods. Refresher or recurrent training
must be received within 24 months of previous dangerous goods training to make sure that the staff’s
knowledge is up to date.
1.5.4 A test must be undertaken following dangerous goods training to verify understanding of the
regulations. Confirmation is required of successful completion of the test.
1.5.5 A record of training must be maintained by the employer which must show the name of each
individual trained, the date of the most recent training, and description of the training and the name and
address of the organization providing this training.

1.8 INFORMATION TO PASSENGERS
What about informing passengers of the Regulations?
It is not practical to give our passengers individual training on the Regulations. However, we can and
must bring to their attention an awareness of what must not be carried aboard an aircraft, either as
checked baggage or as carry-on articles.
Information must be provided to passengers about the type of dangerous goods which they are
forbidden from transporting aboard an aircraft.
As a minimum, this information must consist of:
- information with the passenger ticket or made available in another manner such that prior to or
during the check-in process, the passenger receives the information;
- notices warning passengers as to the type of dangerous goods which are forbidden for transport
aboard an aircraft are:
prominently displayed in sufficient number at each of the places at an airport where
tickets are issued, and where passengers check in, in aircraft boarding areas and in
baggage claim areas; and
- Notices clearly displayed at any other location where passengers are checked in.
Summary & Key Learning Point
Dangerous goods are articles and substances capable of posing a risk to health, safety, property
or the environment.
IATA DGR is field document based on the ICAO Technical Instructions and Annex18.
Shippers are responsible for identification, classification, packing, marking, labelling and
documentation of dangerous goods (IATA ref. 1.3.2.c).
Operators are responsible for acceptance, storage, loading, inspection, provision of information,
reporting, retention of records and training.
Initial and recurrent trainings are mandatory.
Dangerous goods security requirements are mandatory and be implemented by operators,
shippers, and others engaged in the transport of dangerous goods.

SECTION 2 — LIMITATIONS
By the end of this section, you will be able to:
Identify Dangerous Goods that are:
• Forbidden for air transport
• Hidden dangerous goods
• Permitted as cargo under the Regulations
• Excepted from the Regulations
Apply the principles for:
• Dangerous Goods in Excepted Quantities
• Dangerous Goods in Limited Quantities
Identify State and Operator Variations
2.0 General
What is a Limitation?
Some dangerous goods are too dangerous to be carried by aircraft, others may be carried on cargo
aircraft only and some are acceptable on both cargo and passenger aircraft.
2.1 ACCEPTABLE DANGEROUS GOODS
What are considered ―acceptable‖ dangerous goods?
A great many dangerous goods may be carried on aircraft as cargo provided they are properly prepared
for transport in accordance with the Regulations. The List of Dangerous Goods (DGR 4.2) itemizes the
most commonly shipped dangerous goods by name, and indicates the maximum quantity of such goods
permitted per package on Passenger and/or Cargo Aircraft. Those dangerous goods that are restricted
to all cargo aircraft are either in larger quantities or are forbidden on passenger aircraft. Generally,
however, they are not permitted in passenger or crew checked baggage or as carry-on articles. Items
forbidden as baggage may be acceptable as cargo provided the article or substance is prepared in
compliance with all the provisions of the Regulations.
17. Dangerous Goods Regulations 2019 Instructor Mohamed A. M. Tayfour | SCAA Approval # 49 17 | P a g e
2.2 Forbidden Dangerous Goods
Are there any dangerous goods that are completely forbidden for air transport?
Some dangerous goods are considered to be too hazardous for transport by air under any
circumstances.
Substances or articles which, as presented for transport, are liable to explode, dangerously react,
produce a flame or dangerous evolution of heat or dangerous emission of toxic, corrosive or flammable
gases or vapours under conditions normally encountered in transport must not be carried on aircraft
under any circumstance.
1. List the three main types of dangerous goods?
a. ………………………….
b. …………………………
c. …………………………
2.3 Recognition of Undeclared Dangerous Goods (Hidden Dangerous Goods)
What are Hidden Dangerous Goods?
These are goods which are tendered and declared under a general description which may contain
hazardous articles that are not apparent. Such articles may also be found in baggage.
With the aim of preventing undeclared dangerous goods from being loaded on an aircraft and
passengers from taking on board those dangerous goods which they are not permitted to have in
their baggage, cargo and passengers about the contents of any item of cargo or baggage where
there are suspicions that it may contain dangerous goods.
Are all dangerous goods easily identified?
No. It is essential therefore that awareness and vigilance are maintained at all times when examining
and accepting baggage, or in the case of flight attendants, assisting in the stowage of carry-on baggage
in the cabin prior to flight. Great care should be taken to ensure that no dangerous goods are carried on
board the aircraft as baggage.
Remember, the passenger or crew member may not be aware that their items are considered
dangerous goods, and are not permitted.
Confirmation should be sought from a passenger about the contents of any item where they are
suspicions that it may contain
dangerous goods.

2.4 Dangerous Goods Carried by Passengers or Crew
2.4.1 Dangerous goods, including excepted packages of radioactive material, must not be carried by
passengers or crew:
as or in checked baggage;
as or in carry-on baggage; or
on their person;
2.4.2 Notwithstanding any additional restrictions that may be implemented by States in the interests of
aviation security, except for the incident reporting requirements of 9.6.2, the provisions of these
Regulations do not apply to 2.3.4 to 2.3.5 when carried by passengers or crew members or in baggage
transported by the operator which has been separated from its owner during transit (e.g. lost baggage or
improperly routed baggage).
ELECTRONIC CIGARETTE — an
electronic cigarette, or e-cigarette, is a smoking
simulation and/or cessation device that mimics
smoking. It is considered a Portable Electronic
Device ((PPEEDD)) as most electronic cigarettes are powered by lithium batteries. Electronic, simulated
smoking materials include: electronic cigarettes, electronic cigars and electronic pipes. Where the
electronic cigarettes are powered by lithium batteries, the requirements of the IATA Dangerous Goods
Regulations (DGR), paragraphs 2.3.5.9 and 2.3.5.17 must be met. This requires that spare lithium
batteries and the electronic cigarettes must be carried in passenger carry-on baggage. In addition,
recharging of electronic cigarettes and/or batteries on board the aircraft is not permitted. Electronic,
simulated smoking materials (cigarettes, pipes, cigars) should be prohibited from use by both
passengers and crew at all times. Operators should not permit the use of any item which could
insinuate that smoking is permitted on board aircraft.
Lithium Batteries — ICAO Council adopted the recommendation of the ICAO Air Navigation
Commission (ANC) that lithium ion batteries, UN 3480, Packing Instruction 965 only, be forbidden,
on an interim basis, as cargo on passenger aircraft. The prohibition does not apply to lithium ion
batteries packed with equipment or lithium ion batteries contained in equipment, UN 3481, Packing
Instruction 966 and Packing Instruction 967 respectively.

2.5.1 The Universal Postal Union Convention forbids the carriage of dangerous goods in mail except as
permitted in 2.4 Appropriate national authorities should ensure that the provisions of the UPU
Convention are complied with in relation to the transport of dangerous goods by air.
2.6 Dangerous Goods in Operator's Property
Some articles and substances classified as dangerous goods are required to be on board an aircraft in
accordance with the pertinent airworthiness requirements and operating regulations; or are authorized
by the State of the operator to meet special requirements. Examples of these are: life rafts, life jackets,
emergency escape slides, all of which contain cylinders of compressed gas and may also contain other
items such as first aid kits and flares.

SECTION 4 — Marking and Labeling
4.1 MARKING
For each package and overpack containing dangerous goods that requires marking, the shipper must:
1. check that the required marking is applied in the correct locations on the package and that it meets
the quality and specification requirements of the Regulations;
2. ensure that where specification packaging is required, the specification markings are as specified;
3. remove or obliterate any irrelevant marking;
4. Ensure that all of the required markings have been applied when the package is presented to the
operator.
There are two types of markings:
1. Packaging use markings (P.U.M)
2. Package specification markings (P.S.M)
4.2 Packaging Use Marking (P.U.M)
These types of markings are always required when dangerous goods are transported in air. These
markings are such as the contact numbers, addresses of the shipper and consignees,
Proper Shipping name and UN ID number etc.
Example:
1 package contains:
Proper shipping name : Paint
UN Number : UN 1263
Shipper’s name and address in full : MacLean Chemicals PLC.
8 Old Kent Road
London E.C.1, England
Consignee’s name and address : Chemimport

32. Dangerous Goods Regulations 2018 CAT 12
32 / 55
4.3 Package specification markings (P.S.M)
These packaging’s are subject to performance tests designed to ensure that the package design will not
lose any of their contents under normal transport conditions. The severity of the tests on a packaging is
dependent on the degree of danger of the intended contents. UN Specification packaging’s are normally
tested by an institute authorized by government authorities. They bear a UN specification marking.
Example of a UN Specification Marking:
= United Nations Packaging Symbol indicating that the package has been designed, tested and manufactured
according to the United Nations Specifications.
4G = The Packaging Type Code. ―4G‖ indicates a fiberboard box.
X = The packing group designator. ―X‖ identifies that the packaging has been tested for substances in Packing
Group I, ―Y‖ for Packing Group II and ―Z‖ for Packing Group III.
10 = The maximum permitted gross weight, in kilograms, of the package.
S = Indicates the package is used to contain solids or inner packaging’s.
XX = Shows the year in which the package was manufactured, e.g. ―07‖.
USA = Indicates the State authorizing the allocation of the mark.
T7402 =Name or identification mark of the manufacturer.
5.4 Overpack
An overpack is an enclosure used by a single shipper to contain one or more packages to form one
handling unit for convenience of handling and stowage. Dangerous goods packages contained in an
overpack must be properly packed, marked, labeled and in proper condition as required by the
Regulations. The overpack must also be marked and labeled in accordance with the Regulations. A unit
load device is not included in this definition.
Examples of overpacks are:
33. Dangerous Goods Regulations 2018 CAT 12

A strong outside fiberboard box or drum, a wooden box or barrel, or a metal barrel or drum.
4.5 LABELLING
Packages containing dangerous goods must be properly labeled to indicate their contents. There are two
types of labels:
Hazard Labels
Handling Labels
4.5.1 Hazard Labels
34. Dangerous Goods Regulations 2018 CAT 12

SECTION 5 —Dangerous Goods Emergency Response
5.1 INTRODUCTION
Emergency procedures must be available wherever dangerous goods are handled. ICAO Annex 14 –
Aerodromes, Chapter 9 – Emergency and Other Services, requires that procedures be established by
airport authorities to deal with emergencies involving dangerous goods. In addition, requires that operators
provide information to flight crew and other employees, in the operator’s operations or other appropriate
manuals, on the action to be taken in the event of emergencies involving dangerous goods.
An example of emergency information for flight crew in relation to dangerous goods is the ICAO
publication Emergency Response Guidance for Aircraft Incidents Involving Dangerous Goods (Doc 9481-
AN/928), generally referred to as the ―red book‖.
Emergency response training is required for all categories of personnel, as specified in DGR Table 1.5.A.
The following basic procedures are given as an example.
It is important that you are familiar with your local requirements and are aware of all emergency contacts.
5.2 Legal Responsibilities
Both the operator and you have a legal responsibility to take all reasonable emergency measures to
reduce or eliminate any danger to public safety as soon as possible in circumstances that result or may
result from accidental release of dangerous goods. It is very important that the proper procedures be
applied.
5.3 Dangerous Goods Emergency Response Information
It is the responsibility of the operator to ensure that whenever dangerous goods are handled or
transported on board an aircraft that appropriate information is immediately available at all times for use
in emergency response to accidents and incidents. This information must be available to the pilot-in-
command and can be provided by:
ICAO publication Emergency Response Guidance
for Aircraft Incidents Involving Dangerous Goods
(Doc 9481-AN/928), generally referred to as the ―red
book‖.
5.4 General procedures
The general procedures are to be followed which comprises of the following:
Notify immediate supervisor first and get professional assistance
Identify the dangerous goods (if safe to do so)
Where safe to do so, isolate the package by removing other package or property
Avoid contact with the contents of the package
Staff involved in such incidents should stay on site until their names are noted.
If the contents come in contact with your body or cloths:
37. Dangerous Goods Regulations 2018 CAT 12
37 / 55
Thoroughly wash off your body with plenty of water,
Remove contaminated clothing,
Do not eat or smoke
Keep hands away from eyes, mouth and nose,
Seek medical assistance.
5.5 Reporting of Incidents and Accidents
In the event of:
1. an aircraft accident; or
2. serious incident, where dangerous goods carried as cargo may be involved,
the operator of the aircraft carrying dangerous goods as cargo must provide information, without delay, to
emergency services responding to the accident or serious incident about the dangerous goods on board, as
shown on the information to the pilot-in-command. As soon as possible, the operator must also provide
this information to the appropriate authorities of the State of the Operator and the State in which the
accident or serious incident occurred.
5.6.2 Reporting of Undeclared or Mis-declared Dangerous Goods
An operator must report any occasion when undeclared or mis-declared dangerous goods are discovered in
cargo. Such a report must be made to the appropriate authorities of the State of the operator and the State
in which this occurred. An operator must also report any occasion when dangerous goods not permitted
under DGR Section 2.3 are discovered in passengers’ baggage. Such a report must be made to the
appropriate authority of the State in which this occurred.

5.8 IATA Dangerous Goods Occurrence Report Form
The form shown below as per IATA DGR figure 9.6.A is a standard form which is in use in many parts
of the world and may be used where the reporting format has not been specified by the appropriate
authority. In addition it is recommended that this format be used when reporting incidents to another
operator.
Dangerous Goods Occurrence Report
The initial report must contain all the information known at the time it is complied, including:
• The date, location, flight number and flight date (when these are applicable)
• The reference number of the air waybill, pouch, baggage tag, ticket…etc.
• A description of the goods, including the proper shipping name and un number (when
applicable), class/division and any subsidiary risk;
• The type of packaging and the packaging specification marking (when these are
applicable) and quantity involved;
• The name and address of shipper, passenger, etc…
• The suspected cause of the accident or incident;
