Dangerous Goods are defined as those goods which meet the criteria of one or more of nine UN hazard classes and where applicable to one of three UN Packing Groups according to the provisions of this section.

The nine classes relate to the type of hazards whereas the packing groups relate to the applicable degree of danger within the class.

The are 9 classes of hazards (Classes)Of the 9 classes 5 of the classes has divisions

Packing Groups define the degree of danger within each Class or Division

87



Dangerous goods are assigned to the relevant packing group accordingto the degree of danger they present

Packing Group I – High Danger Packing Group II – Medium Danger

Packing Group III – Low Danger

Packing Groups have been assigned to the following classes

88



Substances may possess more than one hazard.

These Hazards will than be defined as

The Shipper must accurately identify and classify the hazard substances that is being offered for air transport.

DGR Ref – 4.1.2.1

When an article or substance is not listed by name in the List of Dangerous Goods, the Shipper must

(a) Determine that the article and substances is not forbidden by referring to the characteristic in Subsection 2.1 and classification criteria described in Section 3.

(b) If the item is not forbidden, classify it by comparing its properties with the classification criteria described in Section 3 if the item has more than one hazard, the shipper must refer to subsection 3.10 to determine the primary hazard.

(c) Use the generic or the n.o.s proper shipping name which most accurately describes the article or substance. Proper shipping names must be determined in the order shown in 4.1.0.2.



DGR Ref – 4.1.2.1

Example 1 – (Specific n.o.s)

Substance - Methyl-n-amyl carbinol (is not listed in List of DG 4.2)Contains alcohol (a flash point of 54oC)

Note - This Proper Shipping Name does not require the Technical Name



DGR Ref – 4.1.2.1

(d) When indicated by the inclusion of the “ “ symbol in Column B of the List of Dangerous Goods, supplement a generic or n.o.s proper shipping name with the technical or chemical group names in bracket following the proper shipping name. Not more than two constituents which most predominantly contribute to the hazard or hazardous of a mixture need be shown. If a package containing a mixture is labeled with any subsidiary risk label, one of the two technical names as shown in parenthesis must be the name of the constituent which compels the use of the subsidiary risk label. The requirement does not apply to controlled substances when their disclosure is prohibited by national law or international convention. For explosive of class 1, the dangerous goods description maybe supplemented by additional descriptive text to indicate commercial or military names. The technical name must be a recognized chemical or biological name or other name currently used in science and technical handbooks, text and journals. Trade names must not be used. For a pesticide, only the ISO common name(s), or other name(s) listed in the WHO recommended classification of pesticides by hazards and guidelines to classification, or the name(s) of the active substance(s) must be used.

Generic or n.o.s proper shipping names followed by a “ “ symbol must be supplemented with the technical or chemical group name see 4.1.2.1 (d). The most specific proper shipping name must always be used



Procedure of Selecting a Proper Shipping for mixtures and solution that are not listed by name.

Note Where a substance is specifically list by name in Table 4.2, it must be identified in transport by the proper shipping name in the List of Dangerous Good.

Such substances may contain technical impurities (for example those deriving from the production process) or additives for stability or other purpose that do not affect their classification.

However, a substance list by name containing impurities or additives for stability or other purpose affecting its classification must be considered a mixture or solution.

Recap of Day 2



DGR 4.1.3.1 Mixture and Solution




Example

Substance – Acetone UN 1090

Added with a substance that is not subjected to the Regulations

Test Result = Packing Group II ( still the same)




Or

The concentration of the of the mixture or solution may be included after the Proper Shipping Name as a basic description of the mixture or solution




Exception to this rule

the mixture or solution is identified by name in the Subsection 4.2 –List of Dangerous Goods.

The name and description of the substance named in the List of Dangerous Goods indicates that it applies only to the pure substance.

The hazard class or division, subsidiary risk(s), physical state (solid, liquid, gas) or packing group of the mixture or solution differs from that of the substance name in listed Subsection 4.2 – List of Dangerous Goods or

The hazard characteristics and properties of the mixture or solution necessitate emergency response measures that are different from those named in Subsection 4.2 List of Dangerous Goods




Example 7

Substance – 2-Chloropropane UN 2356

Added with a substance that is not subjected to the Regulations

A mixture, containing 2-Chloropropane and a solvent which is not subject to these Regulations, has a flashpoint below 23o C and a boiling point above 25oC, thus the mixture is in the flammablility range for PG II. Since the PG has changed, the mixture should be declared as Flammmable liquid n.o.s. (2-Chloropropane solution) or Flammable liquid n.o.s.( 2- Chloropropane mixture)




Example 7

Mixture – 2-Chloropropane UN 2356

Added to a solvent which is not subject to these Regulations
