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

Classification

IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations Section 3


56


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


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


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






section 3

takes precedence



• These steps are usually performed at the same time

Compare to Criteria in Section 3

• Flammability Information

• Boiling Point and Flash Point < 60oC

64


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

usually done by the Competent

Authority under specific UN test

protocols

3.7 – Class 7: Radioactive Material

• Any material containing radionuclides where the

activity concentration and the total activity in the

consignment exceed the values specified in the

regulations

• Many regulatory exceptions exist for low level

radioactive materials such as thorium

• Low level radioactive materials and articles containing

them pose a smaller risk

Specific activity = activity per unit mass of the radionuclide

88


Class 7 Materials

• Ionization chamber smoke detectors

• x-rays

• Exit signs powered by Tritium

• Medical uses include nuclear medicine, radiation

therapy

• Self-luminous paints for watches, clocks, aircraft

switches and other instrument dials (pre-1970’s)

• Some substances have more than one hazard

94


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


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

96


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

Four types, in preferred order of use:

• single entries for well defined substances or articles ▫ Acetone; Bromine; Kerosene; Isopropanol; Phenol

• generic entries for well defined groups of substances or

articles ▫ Adhesives; Paint

• specific n.o.s. entries covering a group of substances /

articles of a particular chemical / technical nature ▫ Refrigerant gas, n.o.s.; alcohols, n.o.s.

• general n.o.s. entries based on hazard class ▫ Corrosive solid, n.o.s.; flammable liquid, n.o.s.

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)

Packaging Definitions

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

125


Packaging Terminology

• Single Packaging • Combination

Packaging

126


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


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

138


Packing Group

• UN Specification packaging must meet the

performance test requirements of the relevant

packing group shown in Column F of the List of

Dangerous Goods

PG III PG II

PG I

139


Industry Package Markings

• These do not certify the packaging is authorized

to contain dangerous goods

•Carriers may require they be on the package and be completely visible.

140


Cylinders and Aerosol Dispensers

• Also specially designed and tested before they can be used for class 2 gases

• UN cylinders are designed to ISO standards and must be periodically retested

• Non-UN cylinders are designed to specific country standards and also must be periodically retested

• Aerosol dispensers must be subjected to a hot water bath test or an equivalent alternative test

141


INTERMEDIATE BULK CONTAINERS (IBC)

5.0.1 Shipper Responsibilities

• Comply with packing requirements

• Use only authorized packagings per applicable packing instruction ▫ UN packagings unless using the Excepted or Limited

Quantity exception. In these cases “good quality packaging” is authorized.

• Stay within quantity limits ▫ Per package limits in the List of Dangerous Goods

▫ Per receptacle limits in the Packing Instruction

• Assemble and close packages exactly in the manner intended ▫ In accordance with all requirements of IATA Section 5

▫ Follow the packaging manufacturer’s instructions
