IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations

This document provides an overview of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and their Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR) manual. IATA was formed in 1945 and represents over 200 airlines. Their main aims are to provide safe and secure air transportation. The DGR defines dangerous goods and provides classification, packaging, labeling and handling requirements to safely transport dangerous goods by air. It is based on United Nations recommendations and ICAO technical instructions. The DGR aims to minimize risks to health, safety, property and the environment from dangerous goods transported by air.
