Class 3- Flammable liquids

Flammable liquids are defined by dangerous goods regulations as liquids, mixtures of liquids or liquids containing solids in solution or suspension which give off a flammable vapour (have a flash point) at temperatures of not more than 60-65°C, liquids offered for transport at temperatures at or above their flash point or substances transported at elevated temperatures in a liquid state and which give off a flammable vapour at a temperature at or below the maximum transport temperature.

Sub-Divisions 

There are no subdivisions within Class 3, Flammable Liquids.

Class 4- Flammable solids

Division 4.1  Flammable solids which are easily ignited and readily combustible example nitrocellulose, magnesium, safety or strike-anywhere matches.

Division 4.2  Spontaneously combustible substances example aluminium alkyls, white phosphorus.

Class 6- Poisonous toxic and infectious substances

Division 6.1  Poisonous substances which are liable to cause death or serious injury to human health if inhaled, swallowed or by skin absorption example potassium cyanide, mercuric chloride, hydrofluoric acid.

Division 6.2  Biohazardous substances example virus cultures, pathology specimens, used intravenous needles.

CLASS 7- RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL

Dangerous goods regulations define radioactive material as any material containing radionuclides where both the activity concentration and the total activity exceeds certain pre-defined values. A radionuclide is an atom with an unstable nucleus and which consequently is subject to radioactive decay.

Sub-Divisions

There are no subdivisions within Class 7, Radioactive Material.

CLASS 8- CORROSIVES

Corrosives are substances which by chemical action degrade or disintegrate other materials upon contact.

Sub-Divisions

There are no subdivisions within Class 8, Corrosives.

CLASS 9 – MISCELLANEOUS DANGEROUS GOODS

Miscellaneous dangerous goods are substances and articles which during transport present a danger or hazard not covered by other classes. This class encompasses, but is not limited to, environmentally hazardous substances, substances that are transported at elevated temperatures, miscellaneous articles and substances, genetically modified organisms and micro-organisms and (depending on the method of transport) magnetized materials and aviation regulated substances.

Sub-Divisions

There are no subdivisions within Class 9, Miscellaneous Dangerous Goods.

The dangerous goods package is very important in international transport. When established the information needed, you can then proceed to pack your goods in accordance to the regulations for the selected mode of transport; IATA/ICAO (Airfreight), IMDG (For Sea Freight), ADR (Road Freight)

The Information require to pack is; the UN number, proper shipping name, packing group (if applicable), shipper/consignee address, and a emergency contact number for manufacture of hazardous goods. Also Ideally need, a material safety data sheet (MSDS) for the product you are shipping. It will include the hazard details needed for transport. (section 14)

The packing work is necessary, to ensure that packaging conform to the standard of transportation safty.

The rules for classification are very widely defined, but some, for example most medicines and cosmetics, do not have the hazardous properties that would bring them within scope of the requirements, and those that do are usually carried in very small receptacles, allowing at least partial exemption from the requirements (either limited quantities or limited loads)

Consignors have a duty to identify the hazards of the goods they intend to transport. There are nine classes, some with divisions, as follows.

Works through the categories in logical sequence.  It sets out descriptions and criteria in some detail.  The consignor must assign a "proper shipping name" and UN Number to the substance.

All relevant  hazards have to be determined. There is a hierarchy of classification and there are rules about choosing the most appropriate entry and hence UN number.

Once a UN number and proper shipping name have been assigned, some substances with the same name will have different degrees of danger (for example flash point). This is reflected in the “packing group” (PG), Where a substance has been classified from “first principles”, its PG will be determined by its properties.

Proper shipping names may also be qualified by the addition of the terms such as 'SOLUTION'; 'LIQUID'; 'SOLID'; 'MOLTEN', 'STABILIZED'.
