Dangerous Goods Awareness and Handling SafetyBinsar Roy
Dangerous Goods are substances that present an immediate risk to people, property and the environment. These substances can be explosive, flammable, oxidizing, toxic, radioactive or corrosive.
With the increased use of dangerous goods in the last century, chemical manufacturers now package their dangerous goods in much larger packages. In this day and age, it is not uncommon to see dangerous goods such as acids and flammable liquids in packages as large as 205L drums, 1000L Intermediate Bulk Containers and radioactives / explosives. Failure to handle these large packages with the right equipment can result in severe damage to people and property.
The Dangerous Goods Regulations of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) require the Shipper of a dangerous good to mark the package to provide information regarding the dangerous goods inside. When applying markings to a dangerous goods package, it is necessary to know the minimum size requirements for that marking. This simple table illustrates the size requirements for all regulated markings in the IATA DGR for a range of packaging sizes and includes the reference to the DGR so you can confirm my information.

The international transportation of dangerous goods by vessel must comply with the regulations of the International Maritime Organization (IMO); these regulations are known as the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code, or IMDG Code. The IMDG Code is constantly changing as the IMO attempts to ensure the safe transportation of dangerous goods by vessel throughout the world. Every two years these changes to the IMDG Code are published in an Amendment to the Code. View this simple graphic of the IMDG Code Amendment Cycle and confirm if you are referring to the correct IMDG Code.

Hazardous Materials Certification Training Part 1Matthew Gaudyn
A comprehensive walkthrough of Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations. The presentation was made for AAA Molybdenum Products, Inc. and it was meant to train employees on the most common hazardous materials used at the company. Disclaimer: most of the information is still pertinent, but updates to the Code always occur. Please make sure you are using the most up-to-date versions of your CFR 49 manual.
The International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974 (SOlAS), as amended, deals with various aspects of
maritime safety and contains in part A of chapter VII the mandatory provisions governing the carriage of dangerous goods in
packaged form or in solid form in bulk. Regulation VII/1.3 prohibits the carriage of dangerous goods except in accordance
with the provisions of part A of chapter VII, which are amplified by the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG)
Code.
Regulation 11-2/19 of the SOlAS Convention, as amended, specifies the special requirements for a ship intended to carry
dangerous goods, the keel of which was laid or which was at a similar stage of construction on or after 1 July 2002.
The International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973, as modified by the Protocol of 1978 relating
thereto (MAR POL 73/78), deals with various aspects of prevention of marine pollution, and contains in its Annex III the
mandatory provisions for the prevention of pollution by harmful substances carried by sea in packaged form. Regulation 1 (2)
prohibits the carriage of harmful substances in ships except in accordance with the provisions of Annex III, which are also
amplified by the IMDG Code.

Lithium batteries are the hottest topic in hazmat transportation today and the Federal Aviation Administration is aggressively enforcing penalties against employers who incorrectly offer them for transport (up to $77,114 per violation). To make matters worse, the shipping regulations are notoriously convoluted and confusing, and since their inception, have been continually changing. This presentation provides an overview of the regulatory requirements and enforcement trends, including the April 1, 2016 ICAO/IATA revisions.
This presentation, created by Syed Faiz ul Hassan, explores the profound influence of media on public perception and behavior. It delves into the evolution of media from oral traditions to modern digital and social media platforms. Key topics include the role of media in information propagation, socialization, crisis awareness, globalization, and education. The presentation also examines media influence through agenda setting, propaganda, and manipulative techniques used by advertisers and marketers. Furthermore, it highlights the impact of surveillance enabled by media technologies on personal behavior and preferences. Through this comprehensive overview, the presentation aims to shed light on how media shapes collective consciousness and public opinion.
Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

5. IATA
• The IATA Handbook is a collection of Rules and Regulations
and exists under the International Civil Aviation Organization
(ICAO)
• IATA is meant to help standardize all the different Countries’
and Air Carrier’s specifications on transporting Dangerous
Goods
• Despite the standardization, individual countries and carriers
may still have additional rules and regulations in addition to
the ones included in the IATA Manual
6. IATA
• 49 CFR ≠ IATA (but they must both be referenced)
o Transport of Dangerous Goods by air MUST be in accordance with the US Regulations
(49 CFR §§171-180) or by the ICAO Technical Instructions as limited by 49 CFR §171
Subpart C. The requirements of 49 CFR §175 apply to ALL shipments offered for air
transport to, from or within the US, including when the shipment is prepared in
accordance with these regulations. §175 contains additional requirements applicable to
any person who performs, attempts to perform, or is required to perform a function
subject to 49 CFR and is also applicable to air passengers and crew. When the ICAO
Technical Instructions are used for consignments of dangerous goods, failure to comply
with the ICAO Technical Instructions and ALL relevant US variations is a violation of the
US Regulations.
o The IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations are fully in compliance with ICAO Annex 18 and
its associated Technical Instructions.
7. IATA
• First of all, even though a shipment is prepared according to
49 CFR, that does not necessarily mean that the shipment is
appropriate to go via Domestic Air or International Air – what
is really meant by the word “appropriate” is “LEGAL”
o It is assumed (and the HazMat Trained employee even signs off on the shipment) that
the person that has prepared the shipment has verified that the package has been
prepared in accordance with the appropriate regulations.
• Secondly, what is a variation, as was mentioned in the
previous slide?
8. IATA
• Variations
o Two types of Variations exist: Country Variations and Carrier Variations
o Variations are found in the IATA Manual in “Section 2 – Limitations”
o This section contains all the Limitations/Variations that are in effect by each Country and
Carrier
• Country Variations might prohibit the import of certain substances,
or limit the quantity of that particular Dangerous Good
o Some countries are different than others. One might completely prohibit the import of a good
while another country might allow the import with no restrictions.
• Carrier Variations are similar – different airlines will dictate what
their policies allow them to transport
9. IATA
• So, all of the Country and Carrier limitations are listed in the IATA
Manual, but how do I know if my Dangerous Good fits the bill or if it
applies to my shipment?
• We will get to Variations soon and how they apply, but FIRST:
• The IATA Manual contains a list of Dangerous Goods similar to the
49 CFR list of Hazardous Materials in §172.101
o This is the First place to go and start preparing your Air shipment, just like preparing the
Domestic Shipment using the 49 CFR
o The list is easy to find in the IATA Manual. It is in “Section 4 – Identification” also known as the
BLUE PAGES
o The IATA Manual operates in much the same way as the 49 CFR does

• What does a Packing Instruction look like?
o Here is an example of a Packing Instruction for Mercury:
(Notice that the Packing Instructions for P&C are identical to CAO in this particular example)
o In order to find the Packing Instruction in the IATA Manual, turn to Section 5 – Packing, and find
Packing Instruction #868
o Since the Instruction is the same for both methods of transport, either method is acceptable for the
shipment (Be sure to use the CAO sticker when applicable!)

• Either “Combination and single packagings are permitted” OR “Single packagings
are not permitted”
• Allowed Combination Packagings and Single Packagings (if permitted)
• Net Quantity Dangerous Good per packaging
23. IATA
• Example: Packing Instruction 868
o In this particular example, the PI contains:
• State Variation: USG-04
• Operator Variations: AM-08, CX-05, KA-05, QR-05, and QT-02
o What do all these abbreviations mean? Each state/country is given its own set of codes.
Every country’s code is a 3-letter code and ends with a “G”
o Some Countries are obvious (e.g.: USG = United States, AUG = Australia, FRG = France)
o Some are less so (e.g.: DQG = Fiji, VCG = Sri Lanka, ESG = Spain)
o Operator Abbreviations work the same way (e.g.: 5X = UPS, FX = FedEx, D0 = DHL Ltd)
A list of Abbreviations can be found in Section 2 – Limitations (2.8.1.3 & 2.8.3.4)
24. IATA
• Example: Packing Instruction 868
o So what is State Variation: USG-04? Turn to Section 2 – Limitations; under USG there is a
numbered list of all the limitations by the United States
o In a nutshell – since USG-04 is a long variation – the Variation states that there are extra
requirements that this shipment must meet if it is imported/exported to/from the US
o USG-04 references 49 CFR §172.101 Hazardous Substances!
o This USG variation ensures that the shipper knows that any Dangerous Good that
references this variation, is considered a Hazardous Substance, and must be named as a
Reportable Quantity (RQ) if the amount being shipped meets or exceeds those as listed
in the 49 CFR Hazardous Substance table
o The variation also states exceptions (which are not applicable in this particular example)
25. IATA
• Example: Packing Instruction 868
o What about the Operator Variations: AM-08, CX-05, KA-05, QR-05, and QT-02?
o Special attention must be given if the shipper (or freight forwarder) is using the services
of: AM (AeroMexico), CX (Cathay Pacific Airways), KA (Hong Kong Dragon Airlines), QR
(Qatar Airways) or QT (Tampa Cargo)
o Most common carriers (for AAA Molybdenum) are: UPS (5X), FedEx (FX), or DHL (D0 or
D5)
o But let’s take a look at what the AM-08 (AeroMexico) variation is.
(Operator Variations are found AFTER the State Variations)
A freight forwarder is a carrier that uses the services of another airline. For example, DHL Global Forwarding
contracts with various other airlines. It is their responsibility to ensure that the package and shipment are
compatible with the respective brokered airline, but it is still your responsibility to ensure compatibility with the
importing country
26. IATA
• Example: Packing Instruction 868
o AM-08 (AeroMexico) variation reads: “Class 8, Corrosives in Packing Group I will not be
accepted for carriage. Class 8 Corrosives in Packing Group I or II will be accepted for
carriage subject to prior authorization (exception: COMAT parts and supplies)”
o Luckily, our shipment of Mercury is only a P.G. III Dangerous Good, and therefore the
AM-08 variation does not apply IF WE ARE SHIPPING WITH AeroMexico
o If Mercury is a P.G. III, then why does this variation appear in this Packing Instruction?
There are other materials that reference the same PI 868, and therefore, each variation
must cover a multitude of situations
27. IATA
• Let’s go through one more example, that will trigger almost
everything covered thus far. There are things that have not
been specifically mentioned, but will show up in the following
example. Hopefully, they will be easily understood.
• For the following problem, we will need to:
o Identify the material and proper shipping name
o Properly assemble the package, including Labels, Markings, and Appropriate packaging
(UN-rating)
o Reference the Packing Instructions (PI’s), Special Provisions (SP’s) and any State and
Operator Variations
28. IATA

P&C, but we could send 2 x 5 kg packages via P&C or we could send a single package via CAO
o If the order was for more than 10 kg of Benzenesulfonyl Hydrazide, then we would definitely
have to break down the order into quantities of ≤10 kgs per package, if it were to ship at all
o For this example, lets use the CAO shipping method, and send 1 x 10 kg package

34. IATA
• Example: Need to Ship 10 kgs of Benzenesulfonyl Hydrazide
o A20: “During the course of transport, this substance must be protected from direct
sunlight and all sources of heat and be placed in adequately ventilated areas. A
statement to this effect must be included on the Shipper’s Declaration. Notes: 1. See
8.1.6.11.1 and Appendix C.1 and C.2 for additional information. 2. Packages must have
the “Keep Away From Heat” handling label affixed (see 7.2.4.5 and Figure 7.4.F).”
o A802: “Notwithstanding the absence of a packing group in column E, substances and
articles assigned to these entries must be packed in UN Specification packagings that
meet packing group II performance standards. This does not apply when aerosols are
prepared for transport in accordance with the limited quantity provisions.”
35. IATA
• Example: Need to Ship 10 kgs of Benzenesulfonyl Hydrazide
o For SP A20, you need to do two things: 1. Ensure that in the Shipper’s Declaration, you
have written that the package must be kept in well ventilated areas and away from all
sources of heat and sunlight, and 2. Make sure that the package has the “Keep Away
From Heat” label, as we have confirmed earlier from the DG Table. You can reference
the sections 8.1.6.11.1, Appendices C1 and C2, and verify that you have the correct label
with section 7.2.4.5 and Figure 7.4.F
o For A802, remember how the table did not have a Packing Group associated with the
Self-reactive solid type D? This is why. Unless the product were an aerosol, we have to
make sure that the package conforms to at least PG II, UN Specifications
36. IATA
• Example: Need to Ship 10 kgs of Benzenesulfonyl Hydrazide
o Just to make sure we cover everything, let’s check out all those Sections that SP A20
references: 8.1.6.11.1, Appendices C1 and C2 + 7.2.4.5 and Figure 7.4.F
o 8.1.6.11.1 is Additional Handling Information for Self-Reactive Substances:
• “Enter any special handling information relevant to the shipment. For example, for self-reactive substances of
Division 4.1 or other substances having similar properties and organic peroxides of Division 5.2 with Special
Provision A20 in Column M of the List of Dangerous Goods, the shipper must indicate that the packages
containing such substances must be protected from direct sunlight and all sources of heat and be placed in
adequately ventilated areas”
o There are also State and Operator variations under this section (8.1.6.11)! What!?
• Let’s look at USG-12, for example (remember, Section 2 – Limitations)
• USG-12: “On shipments to, from, within or transiting through the US, emergency response information as
described below must be provided for all dangerous goods other than magnetized material (UN 2807),
Dangerous Goods is required and Other Regulated Material as defined in 49 CFR 173.144…(the State Variation
continues on for over half a page).
• You’ll notice that the IATA handbook references the CFR manual. Yes, cross referencing is sometimes required
to ensure everything is well and done with a shipment.
37. IATA
• Example: Need to Ship 10 kgs of Benzenesulfonyl Hydrazide
o Before we finish with 8.1.6.11, let’s take a look at DHL’s Operator Variation as an
example (D0-09 and D5-05)
• D0-09 (D5-05 is identical): “The shipper must provide a 24-hr emergency telephone number of a person/agency
who is knowledgeable of the hazards, characteristics and actions to be taken in the case of an accident or
incident concerning each of the dangerous goods being transported. This telephone number, including the
country and area code, preceded by the words “Emergency Contact” or “24-hour number”, must be inserted on
the DGD, preferably in the “Handling Information” box (See 8.1.6.11 and 10.8.3.11). A 24-hr emergency
telephone number is not required for shipments that do not require a Shipper’s Declaration for Dangerous
Goods.”
• We’ve already familiarized ourselves with 8.1.6.11 in the previous slide, but we must also look at 10.8.3.11 if
we are to ship via DHL (Air Limited (D0) or Aero Express(D5))
• 10.8.3.11 refers to Additional Handling Information concerning Radioactive shipments (Section 10 –
Radioactive). Radioactive material is an incredibly sensitive and special thing to ship, and eludes the scope of
this training. However, the point of this exercise is to point out that when preparing a shipment, the shipper
must reference all relevant sections! Fortunately, we do not have to concern ourselves with Radioactivity.
38. IATA
• Example: Need to Ship 10 kgs of Benzenesulfonyl Hydrazide
o The 24-hour emergency contact information is actually very common in dangerous
goods and hazardous material shipping. AAA Molybdenum utilizes a service through
CHEMTREC
o CHEMTREC has a phone number and contract number that the shipper would add to the
Dangerous Goods Declaration (which will be reviewed in detail later)
o In the case of emergency, the operator/carrier will contact CHEMTREC and be able to
appropriately respond to the spill or emergency
39. IATA
• Example: Need to Ship 10 kgs of Benzenesulfonyl Hydrazide
o Just to make sure we cover everything, let’s check out all those Sections that SP A20
references: 8.1.6.11.1, Appendices C1 and C2 + 7.2.4.5 and Figure 7.4.F
o Appendix C1 contains a “List of Currently Assigned Self-reactive Substances of Division
4.1 in Packages”. Use this list to verify your material or reference
o Appendix C2 is meant for Organic Peroxides Division 5.2 (not applicable to our shipment)
o What is 7.2.4.5?
• “The ‘Keep Away From Heat’ handling label (see Figure 7.4.F) must be used in
addition to applicable hazard label on packages and overpacks containing self-
reactive substances in Division 4.1 and Division 5.2, Organic Peroxides (see SP 20)”
40. IATA
• Example: Need to Ship 10 kgs of Benzenesulfonyl Hydrazide
o Just to make sure we cover everything, let’s check out all those Sections that SP A20
references: 8.1.6.11.1, Appendices C1 and C2 + 7.2.4.5 and Figure 7.4.F
• This is the Figure, and this label must be present
on the package. Fairly self-explanatory.
• Also, if you go to IATA Figure 7.4.F, you will notice
specifications about the label:
Minimum dimensions: 74 x 105 mm
Colour: Red (Pantone Colour No. 186U) and Black on a
White background or alternative colours.
Yes, even the “colours” are specified.
41. IATA
• Example: Need to Ship 10 kgs of Benzenesulfonyl Hydrazide
o We’ve figured out that we need the “Keep Away From Heat” label and the 24-hour emergency
phone number in many many words as per the specific State and Operator variations
o So we’re finally done looking at the Special Provisions and the rigmarole that that task sent us
on. Time to move to the meatiest part of this example: Packaging Instruction # 459

• Example: Need to Ship 10 kgs of Benzenesulfonyl Hydrazide
o To find the Packing Instructions, turn to Section 5 – Packing (the Yellow Pages)
o PI 459 Applies to self-reactive substances on P&C and CAO
• No State Variations exist, but there are a couple Operator Variations
• Since our customer has expressed that they really want the package to be shipped via El
Al Israel Airlines, we must obey the LY-04 Operator Variation
• Under LY-04, apparently the airline does not allow any Class 4 Division 4.1 materials on
their Passenger aircraft, therefore the package cannot go P&C; CAO is the only available
option
• This is the only variation that applies to this particular shipment. Let’s move on.
43. IATA
• Example: Need to Ship 10 kgs of Benzenesulfonyl Hydrazide
o The main body of this Packing Instruction 459 provides Requirements and Options for
packaging
o First of all, we must meet the “General Packing Requirements of 5.0.2”, which are located in
the front of the Section 5 – Packing
o Most of Section 5.0.2 provides outlines for packaging and generic information. It is a large
section, and it is recommended to familiarize yourself with the basic requirements
o However, Section 5.0.2.16 is of specific interest, since it describes the packing requirements
for “Self-reactive Substances and Organic Peroxides”
• This section specifically references Chapter 6, where all the test requirements for all
various packagings are specified; this is mostly for reference for the manufacturers of the
packages, but you still need to make sure that the applicable requirements are met for
your package
44. IATA
• Example: Need to Ship 10 kgs of Benzenesulfonyl Hydrazide
o Once the General Packing Requirements are met, the PI makes sure that you meet the:
• “Compatibility Requirements” – make sure contents are not going to react violently with
their package
• “Closure Requirements” – make sure the lid on a drum or pail isn’t going to fly off or that
the cap is torqued properly
• “Additional Packing Requirements” – in this example, packagings must meet Packing
Group II performance standards, which we already knew from the Special Provisions
o You’ll notice one more thing listed after all the “requirements”, and that is:
Single Packagings are not permitted
45. IATA
• Example: Need to Ship 10 kgs of Benzenesulfonyl Hydrazide
o So what is permitted? Only Combination Packagings are permitted. Combination Packagings
must consist of an Inner and an Outer Packaging
o The PI contains a table of permissible Inner and Outer packagings, AS WELL AS maximum
capacities
o We are shipping a Solid, so this example will only look at the SOLID section of the packaging,
only UN 3226 materials, and since we are not shipping via Passenger, we can only ship via CAO

46. IATA
• Example: Need to Ship 10 kgs of Benzenesulfonyl Hydrazide
o One of the first things to notice is the “Net Qty per Inner Pkg CAO” – the maximum weight
allowed per Inner Package is 1.0 kg of material (if the customer had wanted a 10 kg bag of this
material, we would have to inform the customer that this was impossible)
o Okay, so we need to pack out the Benzenesulfonyl Hydrazide in 1.0 kg (or less) packages. The
only packages allowed are either Plastic containers (e.g. HDPE bottles) or Plastic Bags AND
these inner containers must meet Chapter 6.1 requirements for containers and testing
• For example, 6.1.2 Plastic: “Packagings must be well constructed. The materials of which these packagings and
closures are made must be of good quality polyethylene or other suitable plastic and, where in contact with the
substance, resistant to it. Closures must be sufficiently tight to prevent leaking and sifting. Stoppers or corks
must be held securely in position with wire, adhesive tape, or other positive means.”

o The “Total Net Qty per Pkg CAO” is important too. It tells us how much we can have per outer
package, total. It’s lucky that the customer wanted 10 kg of material. If they had wanted 11
kg or more, we would have to send at least two packages.
• For our example, lets decide to use 10 x 1 kg plastic bottles, since the bottles are
probably a nicer selection over plastic bags

o Now we need to select an outer packaging that will support our 10 x 1 kg plastic bottles
o For our example, lets select a Fibreboard Box (since they are simple)
o What kind of UN-rating will our Fibreboard Box need to have?
• We know already that the box will have to be UN-rated, so we need to have that “UN circle logo”
• We already know it is a Fibreboard box, so it will have the “4G” signifying that fact
• The box will have to hold at least 10 kgs (the material) + any extra weight from the plastic bottles, etc. Let’s say
that the box should have at least a rating of 15 kgs to comfortably ship this order
• And because the package is a Combination Package, it will have the “S” also signifying that fact

• FedEx requires that the Shipper’s Declaration be “software
generated”
o FedEx’s shipping software will compile your shipment for you, but you still need to select
the properties of the shipment (i.e. Proper packing group, Packing Instruction)
o The software will automatically fill in the Air Waybill No., and Airport of Destination
o The Proper Shipping Name on FedEx’s generated DGD will look something like this:
(Notice the “//” separating each section of the Shipping Name)
UN3264, Corrosive, liquid, acidic, inorganic, n.o.s. (Perrhenic Acid Solution), 8, III // 1 Fiberboard Drum x 1.0 L // 852

• Recapitulation for IATA
o IATA contains all the information needed to make a domestic shipment
o First: identify material in Section 4 – Identification (Blue Pages)
• Read all Packaging Limitations, Special Provisions, etc.
• Shipment by Air/Sea?
• Reportable Quantity (RQ)?
• Hazardous Substance?
o Determine Proper Shipping Name
o Quantity of Material being shipped
o Class and P.G. of Hazardous Material
58. IATA
• Recapitulation for IATA (continued)
o Proper Packaging for Shipment
• Review UN-Rating for packaging
• Size limitations for inner packaging(s) and/or single packaging(s)
o Label and Mark Package with appropriate stickers and information
o Fill out and sign Dangerous Goods Declaration (DGD)

• Remember Overpacks from the Section I – CFR?
• Overpacks (cont’d)
o Q Value (applicable to Air shipments only)
• If multiple items are shipped together in a single overpack, and the items are
deemed to be compatible, calculate the overpack’s “Q Value”
• Q = n1/M1 + n2/M2 + … ≤ 1
• n1 = net quantity being shipped; M1 = maximum quantity allowed per Passenger
Aircraft Packing Instruction, etc.
• Q Value must not exceed 1 for any single overpack
• Applicable to Air shipments only, see next Section for further information
60. IATA
• Q Value example:
o Want to ship: 10 kgs Ferrosilicon + 4 L Isobutyl Aldehyde (materials are compatible)
• Must use P&C values
• Q = n1/M1 + n2/M2 + … ≤ 1
• Q ≤ 1 in order to ship in overpack
o Ferrosilicon has 25 kgs maximum on P&C
o Isobutyl Aldehyde has 5 L maximum on P&C
o Q = 10 kgs/25kgs + 4L/5L = 6/5
• Q Value exceeds 1, therefore, these two items cannot be put inside the same
overpack
61. IATA
• Overpacks (cont’d)
o Overpack sticker must be present on the outside of the Overpack to signify that it is
indeed an overpack
o Be careful to acknowledge especially any Carrier variations on overpacks (some airlines
don’t allow overpacks)
