INTRODUCTION
IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations
This training is for the Flight crew members, load
planners and Flight Operations Officer/Flight
Dispatcher (Categories 10 from the IATA DGR
Table 1.5A). This manual is designed to be used in
conjunction with the IATA DGR to familiarize you
with the various sections and how to apply them.
It is based on the practical
application of the IATA DGR,
which include all the requirements of the ICAO
Annex 18 and current edition of the ICAO Technical
Instructions.
(ICAO Technical Instructions – Doc. 9284-AN/905)
The SUDAN CIVIL AVIATION AUTHORITY
(SCAA) has been delegated full authority be the
state of Sudan.
It has adopted the standard codes issued by the
International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)
concerning the safe transport of dangerous goods.

SECTION 1 — APPLICABILITY
By the end of this section, you will be able to:
 Define dangerous goods;
 Identify the general principles applicable to the air transport of dangerous
goods.
 Know the responsibilities of shipper & operator when transporting DG.
 Describe the importance of dangerous goods training;
 Identify Dangerous goods Security.
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 International Air Transport Association (IATA) contains 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 (SCAA) 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 with 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. Identified;
2. Classified;
3. Packed;
4. Marked;
5. Labeled;
6. Documented.
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. Acceptance;
2. Storage;
3. Loading;
4. Inspection;
5. Provision of Information, including emergency response information;
6. Reporting;
7. Retention of Records;
8. Training.

1.5 Training Requirements
1.5.0 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
programs 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.

Exercise -1

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.
 Shipper 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.

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.
Exercise -2

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.

TABLE 2.4.A
Provisions for Dangerous Goods Carried by Passengers or Crew

2.5 Transport of Dangerous Goods by Post
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 — Identification
Section 4 of the IATA DGR is divided into 4 Sub-sections
4.1 Proper Shipping Name
4.2 List of Dangerous Goods
4.3 Numerical Cross-Reference List
4.4 Special Provisions
 Addition of technical name(s) is required,
† Addition information can be found in Appendix A
Note: the  and † symbols are not part of the proper shipping name. See 4.1.2.1(d)
4.1 Selecting Proper Shipping Name
Dangerous Goods must be assigned to one of the standard names used in the transport of
dangerous goods. These names are called ―Proper Shipping Name‖ and are used to identify
the dangerous article or substance on the outside of the package and on the Shipper‘s
Declaration for Dangerous Goods‖.
4.1.1 Items Listed by Name
• If the name is known, go directly to the list of dangerous goods (subsection 4.2) it is in
alphabetical order
• If the UN or ID number is known, go to the Numerical Cross-Reference Index
(subsection 4.3) to find the name and page number in the List of Dangerous Goods.
• The Proper Shipping name is the part of the entry shown in bold face type in the blue
pages.
4.2 LIST OF DANGEROUS GOODS
Section 4.2 of the Regulations contains an alphabetical list of dangerous goods (DGR 4.2), most
commonly offered for transport by air. It contains information relating to the UN/ID number,
classes, labels, packing method, the permitted quantities per package on both passenger and
cargo aircraft and any Special Provision that may apply to that substance.
The absence of an article or substance from the list should not be interpreted as permitting its
unregulated carriage by air.

The following is an excerpt from IATA DGR 4.2 – List of Dangerous Goods, commonly known as the
―Blue Pages‖. Read DGR 4.1.6; each column is explained in detail.

1. Which of the dangerous goods shown on the list below are forbidden from transport?
 Phenetidines
 Oxygen
 Phenol, molten
 Mercury
Exercise -6

SECTION 5 — MARKING and LABELING
5.1 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.
5.1.1 There are two types of Markings:
1. Packaging use markings (P.U.M)
2. Package specification markings (P.S.M)
5.1.2 Packaging Use Marking (P.U.M)
As a minimum each package or overpack containing dangerous goods must be clearly marked to
show:
 the proper shipping name(s);
 the applicable UN or ID Number(s); and
 the full name and address of the shipper and the consignee;
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
Wiesengrund 6
D-50667 Köln 40
Germany

5.1.3 Package Specification Markings (P.S.M)
These packagings 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
packagings 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 packagings.

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.
5.1.4 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:
A strong outside fiberboard box or drum, a wooden box or barrel, or a metal barrel or drum.
5.2 LABELLING
Packages containing dangerous goods must be properly labeled to indicate their contents. There
are two types of labels:

Hazard Labels
Handling Labels
5.2.1 Hazard Labels
5.2.2 Handling Labels
In addition to hazard labels, handling labels are used to provide information on the proper
handling and stowage of packages of dangerous goods.

5.2.3 Dangerous Goods Permitted in Excepted Quantities
Some small quantities of dangerous goods are allowed to be sent
without the usual marking, labeling and documentation
requirements. They still however have to be identifiable. The
picture on the side shows an example of such package and its
special label which substitutes the shipper‘s declaration.
Even these shipments can only be accepted by a qualified CAT 6 agent.
Example of marking and labeling:
Lithium Battery Time Temp Label
Limited Quantity Environmental

Notes
1. The markings and labels are not all required to be on one side of the package. They are
shown this way in the diagram for clarity. However there are some requirements to be met:
 Labels must be located on the same side of the package near the proper shipping name if
package dimensions are adequate;
 Labels should be affixed next to the shipper‘s or consignee‘s address appearing on the
package;
 Subsidiary hazard labels, when applicable, must be affixed next to the primary hazard
label;

 When a ―Cargo Aircraft Only‖ label is required, it must be affixed on the same surface of
the package near the hazard label(s);
 When package orientation ―This Way Up‖ labels are required, at least two of these labels
must be used. One label must be affixed to each of two opposite sides of the package,
with the arrows pointing in the correct direction;
 When a package requires the net quantity or gross weight of the dangerous goods to be
shown, it must be indicated adjacent to the UN number and proper shipping name.
2. Due to the size of packages it is not always possible to meet these requirements in full.
Note the use of ‗must‘ (mandatory) and ‗should‘ (optional).
UN specification markings are made independently by the manufacturer or testing agency and
may appear on a different side.

SECTION 6 — Packing Requirements
6.1 OBJECTIVES
After completion of this unit the student will be able to:
 Differentiate between UN Specification, Limited Quantity and Other packaging;
 Locate and read the applicable packing instruction in DGR Section 5;
 Identify the maximum quantity permitted per inner packaging (for shippers only);
 Select the appropriate packaging;
 Ensure that the quantity and packing group limitations for specification packaging‘s are
met;
 Locate, read and observe the ―Particular Packing Requirements‖;
 Pack different substances in the same outer packaging;
 Apply the regulations regarding ―overpacks‖;
 De-code the UN Specification Package marking and ensure that it is correct for the
particular shipment.
6.2 INTRODUCTION
DGR Section 5 explains how dangerous goods must be packed.
The packing instructions in DGR Section 5 give the maximum
permissible quantity per inner packaging.
The maximum net quantity permitted in each package is shown in
the List of the Dangerous Goods in DGR 4.2.
6.2.1 General
The shipper is responsible for all aspects of the packing of dangerous goods in compliance with these
regulations.
• Package (non-radioactive material)
• Package (radioactive material)
• Packing (Single or Combination packaging)
• Inner Packaging
• Outer Packaging
• Over-pack
6.2.2 General Packing Requirements
For both the UN Specification Packagings and Limited Quantity Packagings, there are General
Packing Requirements.
Dangerous goods must be packed in good quality packagings which must be strong enough to
withstand the shocks and loadings normally encountered in transport, including removal from a
pallet, unit load device or overpack for subsequent manual or mechanical handling.

Packages must be constructed, and closed as to prevent any loss of contents when prepared for
transport which might be caused under normal conditions of transport, by vibration or by
changes in temperature, humidity or pressure (resulting from altitude, for example).
6.3 UN SPECIFICATION PACKAGINGS
A type of packaging (box, drum, receptacle, jerrican etc.) which meets prescribed construction
criteria according to DGR Section 6.
They are subject to a drop test, stacking test and other specific design and/or performance
requirements.
Only outer packagings are marked with a specification code.
Inner packagings are identified by a specification code, but this specification code marking is not
required.
The UN Specification Marking, which includes the code for the outer packaging, for radioactive
material different packing requirements apply.
6.3.1 Type of Packagings
There are various types of packagings: e.g. Combination, single, and composite. The most
commonly used are:
(a) Combination Packagings
These packagings consist of one or more inner packagings contained in one outer packaging.
(b) Single Packagings
In these packagings the article or substance is enclosed in a single container.
For example, a drum, a jerrican or a composite packaging.

6.4 Over-Pack
Is an enclosure used by a single shipper to contain one or more packages to from one handling unit for
convenience of handling and stowage. Dangerous goods packages contained in an over-pack must be
properly packed, marked, labeled and in proper condition according to the Regulations. The over-pack
will display required labels markings. An aircraft Unit Load Device (ULD) is not considered as an over-
pack.
A strong outside fiberboard box or drum, a wooden box or barrel, or a metal barrel or drum
6.5 OTHER PACKAGINGS
Other packagings are permitted by certain packing instructions. They must meet the General
Packing Requirements of DGR 5.0.2.
6.6 CHECKING THE PACKAGINGS OF DANGEROUS GOODS SHIPMENTS
STEP 1 Refer to DGR Subsection 4.2— List of Dangerous Goods:
 locate the proper shipping name and UN/ID number;
 note the packing group;
 determine whether the article or substance is permitted on passenger and cargo aircraft
or cargo aircraft only;
 note the packing instruction number;
 note the maximum net quantity or maximum gross mass for each package;
 Note any special provisions which may apply to the packing of the item.

STEP 2 Locate and read the appropriate packing instruction:
 Note that the first number of the Packing Instruction (PI) indicates the Class number for
the primary hazard of the substance being packed.
Examples:
• Packing Instruction 305 for Class 3 Flammable liquids;
• Limited Quantity Packing Instruction Y819 for Class 8 Corrosives.
STEP 3 Ensure that the packaging meets all requirements according to the packing
instruction(s).
STEP 4 Ensure that the quantity limitations for specification packagings are met.
6.7 SPECIFICATION PACKAGING MARKINGS
The specification markings must be durable, legible and placed in a location that is readily
visible. DGR 6.0.4.1 indicates the minimum height of the markings in relation to the size of
package
Note:
The required markings can be shown in single or multiple lines, provided the information is given in the
correct sequence. Additionally, the inclusion in the specification marking of the ―/‖ symbol is optional.
The freight forwarder/operator must check and ensure that the packagings used are marked with the
required specification details.
Note:
UN specification packaging marking must be printed or embossed directly on the package. Handwritten
specification marking is not acceptable.
Example 1: A combination packaging with inner packagings which could contain liquids or solids.
4G/Y5/S/07/A/PA-03/3050

SECTION 7 — STORAGE AND LOADING
7.1 STORAGE
7.1.1 Protection from Damage
Operators must protect packages of dangerous goods from being damaged. Particular attention
must be paid to the handling of packages during their preparation for transport, the type of
aircraft on which they are to be carried and the method required to load that aircraft, so that
accidental damage is not caused through dragging or mishandling the packages.
7.1.2 Inspection of Packages of Dangerous Goods
Packages or overpacks must not be loaded onto an aircraft or into a unit load device unless they
have been inspected immediately prior to loading and found free from visible leaks or damage.
Before loading on an aircraft, unit load devices must be inspected and found free from any
evidence of leakage or damage that would cause it to be unserviceable.
7.1.3 Handling of Self-reactive Substances and Organic
Peroxides
Packages and unit load devices containing packages of self-reactive
substances of Division 4.1 and/or organic peroxides of Division 5.2
must be protected from direct sunlight and kept away from all
sources of heat and be placed in adequately ventilated areas during
the course of loading, unloading and storage.
7.1.4 Storage and Handling of Radioactive Materials
The principles used for the loading of radioactive materials on passenger and cargo aircraft are
the same as those applied to the storage of radioactive materials in the warehouse. It should be
noted that the transport index of any one group of yellow label radioactive materials stored
together must not exceed 50. Individual operators requirements must also be adhered to at all
times these may be found in the operators‘ procedures manuals or dangerous goods manual.
7.2 LOADING
7.2.1 Loading of Incompatible Dangerous Goods
Packages containing dangerous goods, which might react dangerously with each other, must not be
stowed on an aircraft (or in a warehouse) next to each other, or in any position that would allow
interaction between them in the event of a leakage. To maintain acceptable segregation between
packages containing dangerous goods having different hazards, the segregation requirements shown in
DGR Table 9.3.A (illustrated below) must be observed. The segregation requirements apply based on all
hazard labels applied to the package, irrespective of whether the hazard is the primary or subsidiary risk.

The extent to which explosives may be stowed together in an aircraft is determined by their
―compatibility‖. Explosives are considered to be compatible if they can be stowed together without
significantly increasing either the probability of an accident or, for a given quantity, the magnitude of the
effects of such an accident. Compatibility Group criteria are found in DGR Table 3.1.A. Full details of the
loading restrictions are shown in DGR 9.3.2.2.2.
Only explosives in Division 1.4, compatibility group S, are permitted to be transported on passenger
aircraft. Only the following explosives may be transported on a cargo aircraft:
 Division 1.3 Compatibility groups C, G;
 Division 1.4 Compatibility groups B, C, D, E, G, S.
Dangerous goods requiring segregation must be physically separated by non-dangerous cargo, or
separately tied down on the pallet or aircraft floor.

Notes:
1. An ―x‖ at the intersection of a row and a column indicates that packages containing these classes/divisions of
dangerous goods must be segregated. A ―—‖ at the intersection of a row and a column indicates that packages
containing these classes/divisions of dangerous goods do not require segregation.
2. Division 1.4S, 4.1 and Classes 6, 7 and 9 are not included in Table 9.3.A as they do not require segregation from
other classes of dangerous goods.
Segregation can be achieved by:
OR locating ordinary
Non-dangerous cargo
packages between
incompatible packages:
EITHER separating tie-down
Of the packages:

7.3 Loading on Cargo Aircraft
Packages bearing the “Cargo Aircraft Only” label must be loaded on a cargo aircraft so that they
are accessible (they can be seen, handled and, where size and weight permit, separated from
other cargo in flight). Hazard warning labels and the Cargo Aircraft Only (CAO) label must be
visible.
When requested, packages or over-packs bearing the “Cargo Aircraft Only” label should be
made available to the crew for inspection prior to departure.
The above mentioned requirements do not apply to:
Class 3 / RFL - (Flammable liquid)
In Packing Group III, other than those with a subsidiary risk of Class 8 Class 6 / RPB or RIS -
(Toxic and Infectious Substances); Class 7 / RRY – (Radioactive Material);
Class 9 / RMD (ICE, MAG, RSB) – Miscellaneous Dangerous Goods
7.4 Commodity Specific Requirements
7.4.1 Stowage of Packages Containing Liquid Dangerous Goods
Packages bearing the package orientation ―This Way Up‖ label must be loaded, stowed and
handled at all times in accordance with such a label. Single packagings with end closures
containing liquids must be stowed with such closures upwards.
7.4.2 Stowage of Toxic and Infectious Substances
Packages having a Division 6.1 or a Division 6.2 label must not be stowed in the same
compartment with:
a) Animals;
b) Foodstuffs;
c) Feed; or other edible substances intended for consumption by humans or animals.

Except where:
 the dangerous goods are loaded in one closed unit load device and the foodstuffs or
animals are loaded in another closed unit load device; or
 Where open unit load devices are used, the ULD‘s must not be stowed adjacent to each
other.
7.4.3 Loading and Stowage of Radioactive Material
Radioactive material in Categories I-White, II-Yellow or III-Yellow must not be loaded in a
compartment occupied by passengers or crew. To keep exposure to radiation as low as
reasonably achievable, packages of radioactive material should be loaded on the floor of under
floor compartments or in the furthermost end of the main deck compartments.
Packages labeled as Category II-Yellow or Category III-Yellow must be separated from the
passenger cabin and flight deck. The Transport Index appearing on the label determines the
separation distance. The required separation distances for radioactive packages based on their
Transport Index, appear in DGR Tables 9.3.D & E

If more than one package, over-pack or freight container is placed in the aircraft, the minimum
separation distance for each individual package, over-pack or freight container must be determined in
accordance with the above table, on the basis of the sum of the transport indices of the individual
packages, over-packs or freight containers. Alternatively, if the packages, over-packs or freight
containers are separated into groups, minimum distance from each group to the nearest inside surface
of the partitions or floors of the flight deck or other areas occupied by personnel is the distance
applicable to the sum of the transport indices within the individual groups, provided that each group is
separated from each other group by at least three times the distance applicable to the one that has
the larger sum of transport indices.
Operators are required to provide information, in the operation and/or other appropriate manuals with
regard to:
Details of the location and identification of cargo holds. This should also include the
dimensions of the hold; and limitations on loading of radioactive material, based on the
requirements of IATA DGR 10.9.3

Package 1 : TI 5.5
Needs 1.15m separation distance from the top of the package to the
nearest inside surface of the floor aircraft of the aircraft cabin.
Package 2 : TI 4.2
Needs 1.00m separation distance from the top of the package to the
nearest inside surface of the floor aircraft of the aircraft cabin.
Therefore : In order to maintain the minimum separation distances for these
Two Radioactive materials away from the passengers; it must be
Kept at least three times the minimum separation distance for the larger
TI between the packages.
• Package 1 has the larger sum of TIs.
• Therefore, the minimum distance between Package 1 and Package 2
1.15m x 3 = 3.45m
7.4.4 Loading of Dry Ice (Carbon Dioxide, Solid)
Carbon dioxide, solid (dry ice) shipped by itself or used as a
refrigerant for other commodities may be carried provided that
the operator has made suitable arrangements dependent on the
aircraft type, the aircraft ventilation rates, the method of packing
and stowage, whether or not animals will be carried on the same
flight and other factors. The operator must ensure that ground
staffs are informed that Carbon dioxide, solid (dry ice) is being loaded or is on board the aircraft.
7.4.5 Loading of Live Animals with Dangerous Goods
Live animals should not be loaded in close proximity to cryogenic liquids or dry ice. Live animals
should be stowed a level above packages containing dry ice. They must be separated from
packages of Category II-Yellow and III-Yellow radioactive materials by at least 0.5 m (1 ft 8 in)
for journeys of 24 hours or less and by at least 1 m (3 ft 4 in) for longer journeys.
7.4.6 Loading of Battery-Powered Wheelchairs
To assist the handling of wheelchairs and mobility aids with batteries, shows an example of a
label which may be used to assist in identifying whether or not a wheelchair has had the battery
removed. The label is in two parts; Part A remains with the wheelchair and indicates whether or
not the battery has been removed. In the particular case where the battery is separated from
the wheelchair, Part B may be used to assist in identifying the battery and also in reconciling the
battery and its wheelchair.

7.4.7 UNIT LOAD DEVICES (ULD) CONTAINING DANGEROUS GOODS
Each ULD containing dangerous goods, which required hazard labels, must clearly display on its
exterior an indication that dangerous goods are contained within the ULD. This indication must be
provided by attaching the ULD an identification tag having a border of prominent red hatchings on both
sides of the ULD and with minimum dimensions of 148 x 210 mm. the hazard class or division(s) of
such dangerous goods must be visibly indicated on this tag. The tag must be removed immediately
after the dangerous goods have been unloaded.
If the ULD contains packages bearing the ―Cargo Aircraft Only‖ label, the tag must indicate that the
ULD can only be loaded on a cargo aircraft (DGR 9.3.8.2)

SECTION 8 — PROVISION of INFORMATION
8.1 PILOT-IN-COMMAND – NOTIFICATION TO CAPTAIN (NOTOC)
The operator of an aircraft in which dangerous goods are to be carried must provide the pilot-in-
command as soon as practicable prior to departure of the aircraft, with accurate and legible
written or printed information concerning dangerous goods to be carried as cargo. This
information should be presented on a dedicated form and not by means of ―Air Waybills‖,
―Shipper‘s Declaration for Dangerous Goods‖, etc. Generally this information is presented on a
―Special Load — Notification to Captain (NOTOC)‖ form.
The NOTOC is not required for Dangerous Goods in Excepted Quantities or for Excepted
Packages of Radioactive Material. The NOTOC must include, as a minimum, the following:
Note:
This includes information about dangerous goods loaded at a previous departure point and
which are to be carried on the subsequent flight.
 The Air Waybill number (when issued);
 The proper shipping name supplemented with the technical name(s) if appropriate,
and the corresponding UN number or ID number as listed in the Regulations;
 The Class or Division, and subsidiary risks corresponding to the labels applied by
numerals, and in the case of Class 1, the compatibility group;
 The Packing Group, when applicable;
 For non-radioactive material, the number of packages, the net quantity, or gross
mass if applicable, of each package, except that this does not apply to dangerous goods
where the net quantity or gross mass is not required on the Shipper‘s Declaration, and
their exact loading location. For a consignment consisting of multiple packages containing
dangerous goods bearing the same proper shipping name and UN number, only the total
quantity and an indication of the largest and smallest package at each loading location
need to be provided;
 For radioactive material, the number of packages, their category, their transport
index, if applicable, and their exact loading location;
 Whether the package must be carried on cargo aircraft only;
 The airport at which the package(s) is to be unloaded;
 Where applicable, an indication that the dangerous goods are being carried under a State
exemption.

Note:
Many operators have included an additional column headed ―ERG CODE‖ on the NOTOC form.
Provision of this additional column allows the applicable ERG Code, from Section 4.2 of the IATA
DGR, to be entered on the NOTOC against the dangerous goods items by the person completing
the NOTOC.

SECTION 9 — Dangerous Goods Emergency Response
9.1 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.
9.2 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.
9.3 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‖.

9.4 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:
 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.
9.5 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.
9.6.2 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.

9.8 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;
• The action taken, if any;
• Any other reporting action taken;
• Any other relevant details;
• The name, title, address and contact number of the person making the report. Copies
of the relevant documents and any photographs taken must be attached to the
report.
IATA DGR 9.6.1 requires that an operator report dangerous goods accidents and incidents to
the appropriate authority of the State of the operator and the State in which the accident or
incident occurred.
Note:
Individual States may require other reporting formats and carriers must ensure that they follow
local national protocols as appropriate.

Notes:
1. The GHS pictograms, as shown above may indicate products which are
dangerous goods for transport. There are however national and regional
differences which may mean that packages bearing such pictograms are not
classified as dangerous goods in transport.
2. When a substance is required to show corrosive symbol based solely on
classification criteria of ―serious eye damage‖ in the GHS classification, the
substance does not meet the classification criteria of corrosive materials for
transport.
