13.2. Classes of Dangerous Goods

Dangerous Goods are grouped in nine classes, according to common dangers. All classes, except infectious substances (Class 6.2) and radioactive substances (Class 7), are controlled by the Dangerous Goods Act 1985. Each class has a distinctive diamond-shaped symbol with the class number at the bottom of the diamond. These symbols appear on the labels of containers and as signs on vehicle loads. The internationally recognised symbols clearly identify the type of substance and the main danger.

Class Diamond System

Symbol Class Main Danger

1 Substances or articles used to produce explosions. (gunpowder, gelignite)

2.1 Can ignite in air on contact with a source of ignition. (LPG, hydrogen, acetylene)

2.2 Non-flammable and non-toxic, but may accelerate combustion. (carbon dioxide, nitrogen, compressed air) or Oxidising gases (nitrous oxide)

2.3 May cause death or serious injury if inhaled. (chlorine, ammonia)

3

Vapours from these liquids can ignite in air on contact with a source of ignition. (petrol, kerosene) Must have a flash point less than or equal to 60.5 Celsius

4.1 May cause fire through friction, heat or other source. (sulphur, matches)

4.2 Capable to heat or combust spontaneously and ignite. (activated carbon, white phosphorus, fish meal)



Class Diamond System

Symbol Class Main Danger

4.3 Can become spontaneously combustible, flammable or toxic when contacted with water. The heat from this reaction may cause these gases to spontaneously ignite. (calcium carbide, sodium)

5.1 Can contribute or accelerate combustion of other materials. (calcium hypochlorite, ammonium nitrate, hydrogen peroxide)

5.2 Thermally unstable and likely to react dangerously with other substances. (benzoyl peroxide, MEKP)

6 May cause death or serious injury if swallowed, inhaled or brought into contact with skin. (sodium cyanide, many pesticides)

7 Materials or combinations of materials that emit harmful radiation. (uranium, radium)

8 Solids or liquids that can damage living tissue, and may react with many other materials. (hydrochloric acid, caustic soda)

9 Substances and articles that present a danger and not covered by other classes (dry ice, asbestos)

10 Mixed Class Label (for road transport)
