Shipper's ResponsibilityShipper's Responsibility
• The shipper is responsible for the
completion of a prescribed declaration
form “Shipper's Declaration for Dangerous
Goods” for each and every shipment
containing dangerous goods so defined or
classified in these Regulations unless it is
stated that a Shipper's Declaration is not
required. For each shipment containing
dangerous goods the shipper must:

Summary
• Identify the information required on an
air transport document for dangerous
goods
• Identify the contents and sequence of
the basic description
• Identify additional entries required on a
DG air transport document
47. 47
Summary (continued)
• Identify the format required by ICAO
for a DG air transport document
• Identify the differences between ICAO
& IATA requirements for DG
documentation
We’ll use the Column Style form in our examples in this course.
The Open style form is also know and the “computerized” form since it is normally filled out by using a computer and printer.
Now we’ll discuss each part of the IATA DG transport document and discuss how it corresponds with the ICAO requirements—or in some cases, how it doesn’t correspond with ICAO requirements.
Let’s start with the name and address of the shipper. 5; 4.1.3.
“Name” is not defined by the ICAO TI so this could be a person’s name or the name of a company.
There’s also no ICAO standard to how “complete” an address has to be.
This is a six-digit entry. The “UN” (or “ID”) must be included even though the column heading has it.
This is Roman numerals
Doesn’t apply to some hazard classes
Go to 4.1.5 --Show that this paragraph only requires this additional information to appear AFTER the basic dangerous goods description. There is no particular order for the rest of this information.
4.1.5.1 – Total Quantity -- There is no particular order here, nor is there a required style (even IATA allows this to be shown in different ways). The example shown on the slide is a common way to do it. It would also be OK to show this as:
1 fiberboard box, 2 L
One 4G x 2 L (assuming it’s a UN-spec fiberboard box)
2 Liters in one fiberboard box
Etc., etc.
Show some other examples on the board such as:
Two fiberboard boxes x 1 L (this is a two-liter shipment, like the example, but in 2 1-liter packages instead of one 2-liter package.
“One plywood box x 25 kg G “ (for a battery)
“One motorcycle” (for vehicle, flammable liquid powered)
Remember, we show the net quantity per package. Not per inner packaging. The example in the slide could have two one-liter bottles inside or ten 200-ml bottles inside. It doesn’t matter for documentation; we just want to know the total quantity in the completed package so we can compare that against the columns in the DG List (Table 3-1)
Per IATA, other entries appearing below in this column would include:
“Overpack” (if applicable) --ICAO TI 5; 4.1.5.8.1.d.
The Q value (if applicable) --ICAO TI 5; 4.1.5.8.1.e.
Helpful hint to inspectors: The packing instruction number should start with the same number as the primary hazard class.
The IATA column style requires that the “LTD QTY” entry be put in this column.
ICAO requires that when using the provisions of the approvals A1, A2, or A109, that this be noted on the transport document. IATA requires these to be noted in this column. IATA also requires some other special provision numbers to be noted here when those provisions are being used.
Important: You only note these special provision numbers when you are actually using those provisions—you don’t note them just because they appear in the DG list for a given DG.
Under ICAO rules, it would be OK to put all this information elsewhere on the document as long as it was clear that it was related to the DG described in the columns. For example, if there is only one DG listed on the document, then all these additional entries could be put in the “Additional handling” box at the bottom of the form since it would be clear that they applied to the DG described above.
IATA requires exemption and approval numbers to be entered here also. ICAO does not requires these numbers to be entered on the DG transport document but expects copies of these approvals/exemptions to accompany the DG transport document – ICAO TI 5; 4.3
The shipper may enter any helpful additional information here (or may leave it empty). Common examples are listed on the slide.
Emergency response telephone numbers (required by many State variations) are a common entry here as well.
The last line of this certification statement (dealing with air transport) was added recently. Shippers using previous IATA forms may add this statement manually.
ICAO only requires the shipper’s signature and date.
The IATA format has separate entries for a name AND a signature, Place and Date, and Title of the person signing the declaration.
The person signing here is the person who is “certifying” or “declaring” that all aspects of the shipment are correct. When inspecting training records we will expect to see in depth DG training for this individual.
ICAO doesn’t require the Air waybill and DG transport document to be two separate documents (they may be combined). If a separate Air waybill is used, then a statement must be included indicating that the DG is described on accompanying DG transport documents. The statement must also include an indication of Cargo Aircraft Only if applicable.
The example here is the bottom-half of an IATA-style air waybill. It’s not always used – even by IATA members. It’s most commonly used when cargo is shipped internationally or will be transferred from one carrier to another.
