National Requirements of the
United States
• 49 CFR §171.22 allows the use the ICAO technical instructions for transport to, from or through the US with certain conditions.
• Most of the conditions are listed in Section 2.8 of IATA as US Variations. For instance: ▫ USG-04 (page 53) reminds us that we must comply with
requirements for hazardous substances (RQs) etc.
▫ USG-12 (page 55) requires emergency response information and an ER telephone number
▫ USG-17 (page 58) requires compliance with DOT security requirements

IATA Section 3 Classification
• Answers General Questions ▫ Does the substance or article meet the
criteria of one or more of the nine UN
hazard classes?
▫ Which packing group, if any, is most
appropriate for the substance or article?
• Results in Specific Information ▫ Hazard Class
▫ Packing Group
▫ Proper Shipping Name
▫ Identification Number
• BASIC SHIPPING DESCRIPTION
57
Page 20
© 2015 Currie Associates
The Classification Process
Check physical and chemical
properties of the substance
Compare these to the defining criteria in IATA
section 3
Assign the item to one or more hazard classes
Determine the packing group, if
applicable
Determine which hazard class
takes precedence
Choose the most appropriate
proper shipping name
• Proper classification is the responsibility of the shipper
58
© 2015 Currie Associates
Physical – Chemical Properties
• The first step in the classification process is to
check the physical and chemical properties of
the substance
▫ SDS for chemicals and preparations
▫ Specification Sheet for items such as batteries
▫ Shipper’s Specific Knowledge of the Material
59

The Classification Process
Check physical and chemical
properties of the substance
Compare these to the defining criteria in IATA
section 3

Choose the most appropriate
proper shipping name
• These steps are usually performed at the same time

3.0.3 – Packing Groups
An indication of the relative degree of danger presented by the product within a class or division. Packing Groups are represented by the Roman numerals I, II, or II: ▫ Packing Group I – high danger ▫ Packing Group II – medium danger ▫ Packing Group III – low danger
Note: Not every hazard class or division has packing groups. Classes 3, 4, Division 5.1, 6.1 and Class 8 have assigned packing groups by criteria and packaging must meet the performance level for the relevant packing group.
65

3.1.1 Explosives
• Explosive substances
• Explosive articles, except devices
that contain very small explosive
charges that will not pose a danger
in transport
• Any other article or substance
manufactured for the purpose of
producing a practical, explosive or
pyrotechnic effect
• Classification of new explosives is
usually done by the Competent
Authority under specific UN test
protocols
66
Page 23
© 2015 Currie Associates
3.1 – Class 1: Explosives This class is divided in 6 divisions
• 1.1 Mass Explosive Hazard
(Dynamite, Explosive, blasting, Type A, Black powder)
• 1.2 Projection Hazard, but no mass explosion (Rockets, Grenades)
• 1.3 Fire Hazard and minor blast or projection, but no mass explosion
(Fuse, Non-detonating, Igniters)
• 1.4 No significant risk (minor explosion confined to package)
(Air-bag modules, pyrotechnic)
• 1.5 Very insensitive substances with a mass explosive hazard
(Explosive, blasting, Type E)
• 1.6 Extremely Insensitive substances with a mass explosive
hazard (Article, Explosive, extremely insensitive)
Each explosive article is then given a letter to represent its compatibility group.
Explosives with the same compatibility letter may be transported together.
67

3.2 – Class 2: Gases This class includes gases in cylinders and aerosols
• 2.1 – Flammable gas ▫ concentration vs. flammability range

3.2.1.2 – Adsorbed Gas
• A gas when packaged for transport is
adsorbed onto a porous material
resulting in an internal receptacle
pressure of less than 101.3 kPa at 20°C
and less than 300 kPa at 50°C.
69

• Gases which dilute or replace the
oxygen that is normally in the
atmosphere or which are
oxidizing and cause or contribute
to fires
• Includes pure gases or gas
mixtures with an oxidizing power
greater than 23.59°
71

3.2.2.3 Toxic Gases
• Gases which are known to be
so toxic or corrosive to humans
as to pose a health hazard
• Gases that are presumed to be
toxic or corrosive to humans
because they have an LC50
value < 5000 ppm
▫ LC50 is the lethal dose that kills
50% of a test group

The Classification Process
Check physical and chemical
properties of the substance
Compare these to the defining criteria in IATA
section 3
Assign the item to one or more hazard classes
Determine the packing group, if
applicable
Determine which hazard class
takes precedence
Choose the most appropriate
proper shipping name
• Some substances have more than one hazard
94
© 2015 Currie Associates
3.10 Classification of Articles/Substances
with Multiple Hazards
When an article or substance in not specifically listed by
name in the List of Dangerous Goods and has two or more
hazards, the primary hazard must be determined
• Table 3.10.A Precedence of Hazards Table
• Exceptions listed in 3.10.2 always take precedence
▫ Classes 1, 2, 5.2, 6.2 and 7
▫ Certain self reactive substances in division 4.1 take precedence
▫ Pyrophoric substances in division 4.2
▫ Substances in division 6.1 packing group I
▫ Liquid desensitized explosives in class 3
• Most stringent Packing Group of any hazard
• Most appropriate n.o.s. entry in Table 4.1.A
95
© 2015 Currie Associates
Table 3.10.A Hazard Precedence
One material that meets the
criteria for class 3 packing
group III which means it is a
flammable liquid with a low
degree of danger
The same material is also
mildly corrosive and meets the
criteria of hazard class 8
packing group III
Use this table to determine which hazard takes precedence
3, III

3.11 Transport of Samples
for Further Testing
A tentative hazard class, proper shipping name and UN
number can be assigned on the basis of the shipper’s
knowledge of the material and application of the classification
criteria in the IATA regulations
Certain restrictions and limitations apply
• Substance must not be forbidden for shipment by air
• Must use combination packaging with max. net weight limited to
2.5 kg
• Most restrictive PG for that shipping name must be used
• Sample cannot be packed with other goods
• “SAMPLE” must be added to proper shipping name

The Classification Process
Check physical and chemical
properties of the substance
Compare these to the defining criteria in IATA

Packaging Definitions
• Inner packaging – a packaging for which an outer packaging
such as a box or carton is required for transport
• Outer packaging – the part of the packaging seen by the
carrier that protects the inner packagings during transport
• Package – the packaging plus the contents (dangerous good)
124

Packaging Definitions
• An overpack is an enclosure used by a single shipper to contain multiple packages for convenience in handling or stowage.

UN Specification Packaging
• Most dangerous goods shipments require special packaging materials which have been tested and marked
• The marking appears only on the outer packaging and indicates the packaging has passed all required performance oriented tests
• The package is only compliant only when it is accompanied by all its mandatory components and is put together properly

6.3 – UN Packaging Performance Tests
• Objective: ensure that there will be no loss of contents under normal transportation conditions
• Tests must be performed on each packaging design type
• Tests must be carried out on packagings prepared as for transport, including, for combination packagings, the inner packagings used
137
© 2015 Currie Associates
6.3 UN Packaging Performance Tests
• The most important thing to remember about UN packaging
is that it only receives the marking after the packaging
design passes all required performance tests
▫ Drop Test
▫ Leakproofness Test
▫ Internal Pressure (Hydraulic) Test
▫ Stacking Test
• Any change to the packaging design, including a
modification of any of the closures or components can result
in an unsafe and non-compliant package

Changes to Packing Instructions
IATA 56th Edition amends the Packing Instructions for lithium batteries ▫ 968 – Limit UN 3090, Lithium metal batteries to cargo
aircraft only, the provisions of PI 968 have been revised to identify that these batteries are not permitted on passenger aircraft. This includes a requirement that packages prepared in accordance with Section II must bear a Cargo Aircraft Only label in addition to the lithium battery handling label, and also that packages in Section II are subject to the conditions for consolidations and removes the allowance for these packages to be placed in a unit load device, except by the operator.
