Regulations and Handbooks, New Editions

New maritime editions are available now:

 

Airlines, freight forwarders, ground handlers and shippers like you rely on the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (IATA DGR) manual every day to make sure dangerous goods are transported safely and efficiently.

The DGR is available in several languages in digital and printed formats. We recommend digital for its search and automatic updates.

The topics:

• Applicability - (shipper and operator responsibilities, training, security, incident reporting)
• Limitations - (forbidden and hidden goods, storage and transport quantities, transport by post, transport by passengers/crew)
• Classification - (explosives, gases, flammable, toxic, oxidizing, radioactive and corrosive and multiple hazard material)
• Packing Instructions - (explosives, gases, flammable, toxic, infectious, oxidizing, radioactive and corrosive and multiple hazard material)
• Packaging Specifications - (inner, UN, construction and testing, limited quantity)
• Documentation - (shipper’s declaration, air waybill)
• Handling - (storage, loading, inspection, information provision, reporting, training, document retention)
• Radioactive material - (transport, limitations, classification, identification, packing, testing, labelling, documentation, handling)

The DGR is published every year. Customers using the most updated regulations experience fewer delays, fines, and lost contracts. Each year, significant changes are done to procedures and regulations, that's why we publish a new version of the DGR every year.
French, Spanish, German, Russian, Chinese and Japanese versions are coming soon.
