What are Dangerous Goods?

Dangerous goods are articles or substances that are capable of posing a significant risk to health, safety or property when transported by air and which are classified/regulated in the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (D.G.R.).

For example, paint, dry ice, batteries, automobiles, etc., are regulated as dangerous goods when transported by air.

Offering Dangerous Goods for Air Transport

For air transport safety, a shipper who knows best about his/her articles or substances must ensure that the articles or substances must be properly identified, classified, packed, marked, labeled and documented in accordance with IATA D.G.R

Special Handling of Dangerous Goods by Korean Air

All acceptable dangerous goods are handled with the utmost of special care by our experienced cargo staff, whose members are highly knowledgeable and trained in accordance with IATA D.G.R.

Articles and substances having a mass explosion hazard

Articles and substances which present no significant hazard

Very insensitive substances which have a mass explosion hazard

Extremely insensitive articles which do not have a mass explosion hazard

Compatibility Group Assignment according to DGR Table 3.1.A

Articles and substances which present no significant hazard. Effect from accidental functioning is confined within the package

Any compressed gas which, when mixed with air in certain proportions, forms a flammable mixture.

Any non-flammable, non-

toxic compressed gas.

Gases known to be toxic or corrosive to humans and known to pose a health risk

Any liquid having a closed- cup flash point of 60.5C or below (DGR Appendix A).

Any solid material, which is readily combustible, or may cause or contribute to fire through friction.

Such substances are liable to spontaneous heating or to heating up in contact with air and then liable to catch fire.

Substances which, by interaction with water, are liable to become spontaneously flammable or give off flammable gases.

A substance that yields oxygen readily to stimulate the combustion of other material.

TI = 0

Liquids or solids which are dangerous if inhaled, swallowed or absorbed through the skin.

Substances which are known or reasonably expected to contain pathogens and cause disease in humans or in animals.

An organic material (liquid or solid) that can be ignited readily by external flame and then burns with an accelerating rate: some substances react dangerously with others.

A liquid or solid that causes full thickness destruction of intact skin tissue or has a severe corrosion rate on other materials.

Any substance which presents a danger during air transportation that is not covered by other classes. These include Aviation regulated solids or liquids, where materials may have an irritating, noxious or other properties which could cause extreme annoyance or discomfort to crew members preventing them from performing their duties.

Distress signals, Fuse igniters, etc.

Ammunition for hand

weapons, for signals, Safety Fuses, certain types of Fireworks, etc.

These explosives are normally forbidden for carriage by air e.g. TNT,Dynamite or Torpedoes, etc.

Butane, Hydrogen,

Propane, Acetylene,

Lighters

Carbon dioxide, Neon, Fire Extinguisher, or low- temperature liquified gas such as liquified Nitrogen or Helium

Most toxic gases are

forbidden for carriage by air; some are permitted, e.g. aerosols of low toxicity, tear gas devices.

Certain Paints, Varnishes, Alcohols, some Adhesives, Acetone,Petrol, etc.

Matches, sulphur, Celluloid, Nitronaphthalene

Note: Some are self- reactive.

White or Yellow phosphorus, Magnesium diamide

Calcium carbide, sodium

Radionuclides or isotopes for medical or industrial purposes, such as Cobalt 60, Caesium 131 and lodine 132.

Battery acids, sulphuric and other acids, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, Mercury

Asbestos, Garlic Oil, Life Rafts, Internal Combustion Engines, Vehicles

Magnetrons and non-shielded permanent magnets without keeper bars installed.

Ammonium nitrate fertilizer, calcium chlorat

tert-Butyl hydroperoxide, listed in Appendix C of the DGR

Arsenic, Nicotine, Cyanide, Pesticides, Strychnine.

Note: Some are totally forbidden,e.g. Bromoacetone

MAG

Semi-processed polymeric articles, impregnated with a flammable gas or liquid as a blowing agent; may evolve small quantities of flammable gas.

Carbon dioxide, solid/dry ice has a temperature of -79C. On sublimation it produces a gas heavier than air which in an enclosed area and in larger quantities can lead to suffocation.

These materials have relatively high magnetic field strength.
