Unit 1 - Applicability Objectives

Understanding the definition of dangerous goods Review the basis of the regulations Applicability of IATA Regulations Understanding the Responsibilities of Shipping Hazmat
Ensuring that Training Requirements are met

Security requirements
Definition of Dangerous Goods

IATA Ref. 1.0
Dangerous Goods are articles or substances which are capable of posing a risk to health, safety, property or the environment and which are shown in the list of dangerous goods in the regulations, or which are classified according to the regulations.
This means any cargo that would meet the definition of one or more of the 9 hazard classes as defined in Unit 3 of the regulations would be classified as dangerous goods, and therefore, regulated for air transport. Dangerous goods cargo or hazardous materials, otherwise known as HazMat are also defined and regulated by the US Department of Transportation when they are transported to, from or within the United States. The requirements for these regulations for the safe transportation and handling of dangerous goods cargo are found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 49, or more commonly referred to as the 49 CFR. Local competent authority regulations and requirements must always be adhered to when, identifying, classifying, packing, marking, placarding, and handling as well as documentation of any dangerous goods freight.
Basis of the Regulations

IATA Ref. 1.1
The UN Subcommittee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods develop the recommendation for procedures for the transport of all types of dangerous goods (except radioactive materials), these procedures are then applicable for all modes of transport and are published in the Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous goods.
Applicability
IATA Ref. 1.2
Dangerous Goods regulations need to be adhered to when: Transporting hazardous materials from, to, through or within any ICAO member country. All IATA members or Associate Members Airlines. All shippers and or their agents who offer consignments of dangerous goods to these airlines. All additional local competent authority regulations and requirements must also be adhered to. For Example - In the United States, the US Department of Transport (DOT) regulates the movement of hazardous materials, and according to the 49 CFR apply to any company and its employees, who perform any function in any way regulated by the US DOT. This would include any company who has any role in the logistical process of transportation of cargo potentially containing hazardous materials, for example: Offers hazardous materials for transportation. Packages, marks, or labels dangerous goods cargo for transport. Loads, Unloads, or Placards hazmat transport vehicles. Transports any hazardous materials. Receives or forwards packages that may contain hazardous materials. Manufactures packaging for use in transporting hazardous materials. Involved in the testing of hazardous material packaging. No exemptions are made for small businesses. www.phmsa.dot.gov
Approvals
IATA Ref. 1.2.5
Whenever provided in the Regulations, the States concerned may grant an approval to permit the transport of dangerous goods. This is of course, provided that the overall level of safety is achieved without compromise. Acceptance of dangerous goods offered for transport under the provisions of an approval is at the discretion of the operators concerned. Shippers are encouraged to make advanced arrangements with the operators as part of the planning process associated with any approval application.
Responsibilities
IATA Ref. 1.3 & 1.4
Shippers o Fully Comply with the regulations o Provide information to their employees o Correctly identify, classify, pack, mark, label, and document according to the regulations o Training Operators o Acceptance o Storage o Loading o Inspection o Provision of information (incl. emergency response) o Reporting o Retention of records o Training
Specific Responsibilities
IATA Ref. 1.3.2 & 1.4
It is the Responsibility of the Employer to ensure the Employee has received the correct function specific training, and all other relevant information to perform their job functions safely and according to all domestic and international regulations. It is the responsibility of all individuals in the transport chain to: Fully comply with the applicable regulations. Correctly classify and identify Hazardous Materials. Determine Proper Shipping Names, UN Numbers, and Class or Division. Ensure the correct Packaging, Markings and Labels have been used. Ensure the Shipping Papers have been correctly completed. Ensure vehicles and containers are correctly placarded. Provide Emergency Response Information and Telephone Numbers. Provide information to employees, vendors and third party logistics.

Adhere to strict safety and security policies. Retain records and report incidents or accidents.
Training Requirements
IATA Ref. 1.5
It is the LAW!!
All hazmat employees are to receive job specific training. Training meeting these requirements will increase the employees awareness and ultimately ensure maximized safety and reduce hazmat incidents. All training is to include: General Awareness / Familiarization The hazmat employee must receive training that is designed to provide the familiarity of the hazmat requirements which will enable them to recognize dangerous goods materials, they would then identify the hazards that the cargo presents based upon any markings, labels, shipping papers or placards on the cargo. Function-specific training Each hazmat employee must be trained in the regulations, which directly applies to the job function or specific job responsibility that the employee performs. Safety Each hazmat employee must receive awareness safety training to include; emergency response information, measures to protect the employee from the hazards associated with hazardous materials to which they may be exposed in the work place, including any specific measures the hazmat employer has implemented to protect employees from exposure; as well as the methods and procedures for avoiding accidents. Security Training Security training must include company security objectives, organizational security structure, specific security procedures, specific security duties and responsibilities for each employee, and specific actions to be taken by each employee in the event of a security breach. Training may vary from employee to employee based on job function and responsibility.
10
Record keeping A record of current training, inclusive of the preceding three years, must be maintained and retained by each hazmat employer for as long as that employee is employed by that employer as a hazmat employee and for 90 days thereafter. Training records must include: Hazmat Employees Name. The Date of the most recent Training Completed. A description, copy, or the location of the training materials used to meet the training requirements. The Name and Address of the person providing the training course. Certification that the hazmat employee has been trained and tested. Training is valid for 24 months from completion and the following categories of personnel will require Initial and Recurrent training programs which must be established and maintained by, and on behalf of: Operators, and Operators that are No Carry Operators, in other words do not carry dangerous goods Flight Crew, Crew Members and Load Planners Ground Handlers and agencies performing: Acceptance of cargo, passengers baggage and COMAT Handling, loading, unloading and transfer or the processing of cargo, mail, baggage, stores, or checking in of passengers. Freight forwarders Shippers of dangerous goods, including packers and agents or organizations undertaking the responsibilities of the shipper Any persons or agencies engaged in the security screening of passengers and baggage and/or cargo, mail or stores. Designated Postal Operators
11
Security
IATA Ref. 1.6
Any person involved in the transport of dangerous goods should consider security requirements for dangerous goods as part of their responsibilities. Dangerous goods should only be offered to operators that have been appropriately identified.
High Consequence Dangerous Goods

IATA Ref. 1.6.3.1.
High consequence dangerous goods are products or materials, which may have the potential for misuse in a terrorist incident and which could, as a result, produce serious consequences such as mass causalities or even mass destruction. The following is not an all-inclusive list, but rather indicative list of high consequence dangerous goods: Explosives Division 2.3 Toxic gases (excluding aerosols) Class 3 Desensitized explosives Division 4.1 Desensitized explosives Division 6.1 of Packing Group 1 (except when transported under Excepted Quantity Provisions 2.6) Division 6.2 of Category A (UN2814 & UN2900)

Unit 2 - Limitations Objectives

Understand the definition of Forbidden Dangerous Goods Understanding how to identify hidden dangerous goods Review allowances for Passengers and Crew Members Restrictions of shipping hazmat in Air Mail Dangerous Goods in Operators Properties Limitations of moving Excepted Quantities Restrictions of shipping Limited Quantities Ensuring State Variations are adhered to Ensuring Operator Variations are adhered to
15
Forbidden Dangerous Goods

IATA Ref. 2.1
Any article or substance which, when presented for transport, may be liable to explode, dangerously react, produce a flame, or dangerous evolution of heat, or dangerous emission of toxic, corrosive or flammable gases, or vapors under conditions normally encountered in transport must not be carried on aircraft under any circumstance.
Certain hazardous materials are known to meet the description above have been included in the List of Dangerous Goods (IATA Ref. 4.2), however, they have been entered in light type and without a UN Number along with the word forbidden in Columns G/H, I/J, and K/L.
It is important to note, that it is impossible to list all dangerous goods that are forbidden in aircraft, it is therefore essential that necessary care be taken to ensure that no such goods are offered for transport. This includes any articles or products that are being returned to the manufacturer for safety reasons, for example, any defective or damaged lithium batteries.
16
Hidden Dangerous Goods

IATA Ref. 2.2
Dangerous goods are occasionally declared under a general or generic description, these cargoes may contain hazardous materials, which may not be initially apparent. Obtaining information and confirmation from the shippers and/or manufactures is imperative to ensure dangerous goods do not go undeclared. The list in 2.2.4 of the IATA DGR gives a brief summary of typically undeclared or wrongly declared cargoes.
Examples include: AUTOMOBILES, AUTOMOBILE PARTS - (car, motor, motorcycle) which may contain ferro-magnetic material which may not meet the definition for magnetized material but which may be subject to special stowage requirements due to the possibility of affecting aircraft instruments. May also contain engines, carburetors, or fuel tanks, which contain or have contained fuel, wet batteries, compressed gases in tyre (tire) inflation devices, fire extinguishers, shock / struts with nitrogen, air bag inflators / air bags modules, etc. MACHINERY PARTS may contain adhesives, paints, sealants, solvents, wet and lithium batteries, mercury, or cylinders of compressed or liquefied gas etc. REPAIR KITS may contain organic peroxides and flammable adhesives, solvent-based paints, resins, etc. It is important to note, that even articles or substances, which perhaps do not fall into the definitions of dangerous goods as shown in the Regulations, but may however, in the event of leakage cause a serious cleanup problem or corrosion to aluminum on a long term basis, be checked by the shipper to at least ensure that the packaging is adequate to prevent leakage during transportation, these may include, brine, powdered or liquid dyes, pickled foodstuffs etc.
17
Dangerous Goods Carried by Passenger and Crew

IATA Ref. 2.3
Provisions for Dangerous Goods Carried by Passengers or Crew are provided in Table 2.3.A.

Packing, Marking, and Documentation of Excepted Quantities

IATA REF. 2.6.5
Although not in UN Tested packaging, packages must be in compliance with the regulations, which would include: Must be in an inner packaging which is held securely in place with wire, tape or other positive means; the inner package must have a leak proof threaded type cap, and the closure must be resistant to contents. Inner packaging must be securely packed in an intermediate packaging with cushioning material in such a way, that under normal conditions of transport, they cannot break, be punctured or leak, and must completely contain the contents regardless of package orientation. For liquid dangerous goods, the intermediate packaging must contain sufficient absorbent material to absorb the entire contents of the inner packaging. Dangerous goods must not react dangerously with the absorbent material. The intermediate packaging must be securely packed in a strong rigid outer packaging. Packages must be of such a size that there is adequate space to apply all necessary markings. Packages must be marked with the following label.
Figure 2.6.B Label must be 100mm x 100mm (4 inches.) * The primary class or division number. ** The name of the shipper or the consignee
No Shippers Declaration is required. AWB or BOL must include the statement Dangerous Goods in Excepted Quantities.
22
De Minimis Quantities
IATA REF. 2.6.10
Hazmat that is assigned the codes E1, E2, E4 or E5 in Column F of the dangerous goods list (blue pages), are NOT subject to the regulations when carried as cargo, provided the following provisions are met: The maximum net quantity of the material per inner packaging is limited to 1 mL for liquids and gases, and 1 g for solids. The provisions of 2.6.5 are met, except that an intermediate packaging is not required if the inner packagings are securely packed in an outer packaging with cushioning material in such a way that, under normal conditions of transport, they cannot break, be punctured, or leak their contents, and for liquid dangerous goods, the outer packaging contains sufficient absorbent material to absorb the entire contents of the inner packagings. The provisions of 2.6.6 are complied with, and The maximum net quantity of dangerous goods per outer packaging does not exceed 100 mL for liquids and gases or 100 g for solids.
23
Limited Quantities
IATA Ref. 2.7
Some dangerous goods may be safely shipped in good quality combination packaging in Limited Quantities. These inner and outer packagings must meet certain construction standards, and be capable of withstanding a drop test, and stacking test when packed for transport, as per 2.7.6. They also require marking to indicate that they are Limited Quantity packages. Packing Instructions with the prefix Y in the List of Dangerous Goods Column G (Blue Pages) indicate that a limited quantity package may be used.
Figure 7.1.A
24
State and Operator Variations

IATA Ref. 2.8
For each shipment of dangerous goods, the Variations for any State (Country) the cargo is flying from, through or to, must be checked. State / Country 2.8.2 Additional Country Variations or Restrictions which will affect the Shipments being sent FROM that particular country Operator / Airline 2.8.4 Additional Airline Variations or Restrictions, which will affect the Shipments movement on a particular airline. State / Country 2.8.2 Additional Country Variations or Restrictions which will affect the Shipments being sent THROUGH and TO that particular country
The Operator (Airline) and their specific Variations must also be checked before cargo is offered for carriage.
State Variations are identified by a three-letter code, the last letter is always G
(Government Restrictions). The three-letter codes are then always followed by a two-digit number, which represents the Variation. The codes are listed in an alphanumeric sequence. Example: AEG (United Arab Emirates) Three-Letter code identifying the country
AEG 01 Transportation of dangerous goods, to, from, or within the UAE must be subject to compliance with the provisions of these Regulations and the UAE Civil Aviation Regulations. Requests for obtaining a copy of the UAE Civil Aviation Regulations can be applied for online using the GCAA official website. i.e. www.gcaa.ae
25
Operator Variations are identified by a two-letter alphanumeric code.

The two-letter codes are followed by a two-digit number, which represents the variation. The codes are then listed in an alphanumeric sequence. Example: FX (Federal Express) Two-Letter code identifying the Operator
FX 14 when a shippers Declaration is required, three (3) copies must be provided with each shipment at the origin location. At least two copies must have the diagonal hatchings printed vertically in the left and right margins and must be printed in red.
NOTE: When there is a Trefoil symbol next to the State or Operator variation it means that is ONLY related to Radioactive Material.
It is very important to check each year for new variations that may have been removed / changed or are NEW. ( or )

Unit 3 - Classification of Dangerous Goods Objectives

Understand the classification criteria for all nine classes of dangerous goods. Determine Proper Shipping Names, UN Numbers and Packing Groups for substances that have not been listed by name Determining primary and secondary hazards using the Multi-hazards table Classification of Samples Understanding SDSs
30
Classes
Dangerous Goods are broken into one of nine classes, some classes are further broken down into divisions. The class number does not indicate the degree of danger. Class 1 Class 2 Explosives Flammable Gas Non-Flammable Non-Toxic Gas Toxic Gas Flammable Liquid Flammable Solids Spontaneously combustible Dangerous when wet Oxidizers Organic Peroxides Toxic Infectious Substances Radioactive Corrosive Miscellaneous
Class 3 Class 4
Class 5 Class 6 Class 7 Class 8 Class 9
Packing Groups
Packing Groups are written using roman numerals.
I II III HIGH DANGER MEDIUM DANGER LOW DANGER
Packing Groups refer to the degree of danger within the class. Not all classes of dangerous goods are assigned packing groups.
31
Class 1 - Explosives
IATA Ref. 3.1
Explosive articles or substances are assigned to one of six divisions, depending on the type of hazard present in the article or substance. Division 1.1 Mass Explosive hazard: Instantaneous explosion of virtually the entire package or shipment. Example: Mines, grenades, nitroglycerin Projection hazard but not a mass explosive: Fragments projected outward at some distance. Example: Rockets, warheads Fire hazard and either a minor explosive or projection hazard: Fire or minor blast, possible projection of fragments outward at some distance. Example: smoke signals, projectiles, commercial fireworks. No significant hazards: Explosion largely confined to the package and No projection of fragments of any appreciable size or range is expected. Example: Airbags, sporting ammunition, model rocket motors Very insensitive substances, having a mass explosion: Mass explosion hazard, but low probability of initiation or detonation while in transit. Example: blasting agents. Extremely insensitive articles, with no mass explosion hazard: Negligible probability of accidental initiation or propagation. Example: military uses
Division 1.2
Division 1.3
Division 1.4
Division 1.5
Division 1.6
Class 1 articles are not assigned Packing Groups.
32
Explosive substance or article are assigned to one of 13 compatibility groups (Table 3.1.A), these are intended to be mutually exclusive, in other words, not loaded, packed, stored or transported near an explosive with another compatibility group. Except for an article or substance, which qualifies for Compatibility Group S, and because of testing criteria these are only 1.4 S explosives. A B C D E F G H J K L N S Primary Explosive. Primary explosive substance that does not have two or more effective protective features. Propellant explosive or other deflagrating explosive. Secondary detonating explosive substance. Secondary explosive substance, without initiation, with a propelling charge. Secondary detonating substance, with its own means of initiation. Pyrotechnic substance. Contains both an explosive substance and white phosphorus. Contains both an explosive substance and a flammable liquid or gel. Contains both an explosive substance and a toxic chemical agent. Contains an explosive substance and presenting a special risk. Contains only extremely insensitive detonating substances. Articles or substances so packed or designed that any hazardous effects arising from accidental functioning are confined within the package unless the package has been degraded by fire, in which case all blast or projection effects are limited to the extent that they do not significantly hinder or prohibit fire fighting or other emergency response efforts in the immediate vicinity of the package.
Note - Any explosive materials in the US must be approved before transport, and is assigned an EX number. The EX approval must be entered on the shipping papers, and/or marked on the package, this is referenced in USG-05.
33
Class 2 - Gases
IATA Ref. 3.2
Substances of Class 2 are assigned to one of three divisions based on the primary hazard of the gas during transport. Class 2 also includes AEROSOLS, and for the purpose of the DG Regulations, an aerosol means any non-fillable receptacle made of metal, glass or plastic and containing a gas compressed, liquefied or dissolved under pressure, with or without a liquid, paste or powder and fitted with a self-closing release device allowing the contents to be ejected.
Division 2.1 Flammable Gas Gases, which at 20c and standard pressure will ignite when in mixture of 13% or less by volume with air. Or have a flammable range with air of at least 12 percentage points regardless of the lower flammable limit. Example: Lighters, butane
Division 2.2 Non-Flammable, Non-Toxic Gas These gases are an asphyxiant or can be oxidizing, or do not come under the other divisions. Example: Oxygen or Liquefied Gases
Division 2.3 Toxic Gas Gases which are known to, or to be presumed to, be so toxic or corrosive to humans as to pose a hazard to ones health. Example: Bromine Chloride
Class 2 articles or substances are not assigned Packing Groups.

Assignment of Hazard Zone

49 CFR Ref. 173.116
The hazard zone of a Class 2, Division 2.3 material is assigned in column 7 of the Hazardous Materials Table in the 49 CFR. When the Hazardous Material table provides more than one hazard zone for a Division 2.3 material, or indicates that the hazard zone be determined on the basis of the grouping criteria for Division 2.3, the hazard zone shall be determined by applying the following criteria: Hazard Inhalation toxicity zone A .............. LC50 less than or equal to 200 ppm. B .............. LC50 greater than 200 ppm and less than or equal to 1000 ppm. C .............. LC50 greater than 1000 ppm and less than or equal to 3000 ppm. D .............. LC50 greater than 3000 ppm or less than or equal to 5000 ppm. There are no hazard zones for Divisions 2.1 and 2.2.
35
Class 3 Flammable Liquids

IATA Ref. 3.3
Flammable liquids are classified into Packing Groups based on the information gathered during the testing of the flammable vapor at temperatures of not more than 60c (closed cup), or not more than 65.6c (open-cup test), otherwise called a Flash Point. Examples: Alcohols, Petroleums, Paints, and Adhesives
Steps to determine the Packing Group of a Flammable Liquid

Review the SDS and establish the Flash Point (F.P.) and Initial Boiling Point (B.P.)
Consult Table 3.3.A Packing Group I II III Flash Point (Closed Cup) <23c "23c but !60c Boiling Point ! 35c > 35c > 35c
Once the Packing Group has been established; the Proper Shipping Name (PSN) and UN Number can be determined.

37
Class 4 - Flammable Solids, Spontaneous Combustion and Dangerous When Wet

IATA Ref. 3.4
Division 4.1 Flammable Solids
These are substances, or articles, which under conditions encountered in transport, are readily combustible or may cause or contribute to fire through friction, self-reactive substances, which are liable to undergo a strongly exothermic reaction, desensitized explosives, which may explode if not diluted sufficiently. Although called Flammable Solids this class also includes, powdered, granular or pasty substances. ALWAYS check the SDS, as metal powders can be especially dangerous because of the difficulty of extinguishing a fire, as normal agents such as carbon dioxide or water can react with these metal powders, and will increase the hazard. Example: Sodium, Matches, and Celluloid Division 4.2 Spontaneous Combustion
These substances are liable to spontaneous heat up when they come in contact with air and then are likely to catch on fire. These conditions can be encountered during transport. Read the SDS to check if there is any mention of this possibility. Example: Fabrics or Fibers Animal or Vegetable, and Carbon Paper Division 4.3 Dangerous when Wet
These are substances, which, in contact with water could become spontaneously flammable, or, by interaction with water, are liable to give off flammable gases in dangerous quantities. Example: Lithium, Sodium, and Calcium Carbide
38
Class 5 - Oxidizers and Organic Peroxides

Class 6 - Toxic and Infectious Substances

IATA Ref. 3.6
Division 6.1 Toxic
These are substances, which are likely to cause death or injury or to harm human health if swallowed, inhaled or by contact with the skin. To be declared as Toxic, the substance must meet the criteria set out in Table 3.6.A to determine the Packing Group. Classification is based on information provided in Paragraph 11 of the SDS. The LD50 (Lethal Dosage) or LC50 (Lethal Concentration) is determined by the exposure to the substance either by: Oral ingestion Dermal contact Inhalation of dust, mist or vapors Example: Pesticides, Nicotine, Cyanide
40
Steps to determine the Packing Group of a Toxic Substance

Review the SDS and establish the LD50 or LC50
Consult Table 3.6.A Packing Group I II III Oral Toxicity mg/kg " 5.0 > 5.0 but " 50 > 50 but " 300 Dermal Toxicity mg/kg " 50 > 50 but " 200 > 200 but " 1,000 Inhalation Toxicity mg/L " 0.2 >0.2 but " 2.0 > 2.0 but "4.0

Multi - Hazards
IATA 3.10
When an article or substance is not specifically listed by its name in the list of dangerous goods (Blue Pages), and has two hazards, the primary hazard must be determined.
Steps to determine Packing Groups, Primary and Secondary Hazards

Review the SDS Determine hazards and packing group as per the classification criteria of each hazard. Consult Table 3.10.A
To use the table, the classes and packing groups are found along the top and down the left hand side of the table. Where the two classes meet in the body of the table will reveal the primary hazard and the correct packing group. Determine Proper Shipping Name, UN Number, and Packing Group.
47
Steps to determine the Proper Shipping Name if the substance is NOT listed by name in the Dangerous Goods List.
Once the primary hazard, secondary hazard and PG have been established. Consult the List of DG (Blue Pages) to determine if the substance has been specifically listed. If Not listed, the proper shipping name can be determined as follows: Description of hazard State Primary Hazard Secondary Hazard Additional information (Alcohol, Pesticide, Hydrocarbon etc.) (Liquid, Solid or Gas) (Description of the hazard class - Toxic, etc.) (If applicable) (Organic, Inorganic, if applicable)
If no descriptive text is given, the Primary hazard is then used to describe the dangerous goods cargo. For Example: Flammable Liquid, Toxic n.o.s. Pesticide, solid, Toxic n.o.s. As a reminder the indicates that a technical name is required in parenthesis.
Samples
IATA Ref. 3.11
When the hazard class of a substance is uncertain, and it is to be transported for further testing, a tentative hazard class, proper shipping name and UN Number must be assigned on the basis of the shippers knowledge of the substance and its application. The most severe packing group possible for the proper shipping name chosen must be used. The proper shipping name must be supplemented by the word SAMPLE. For example: Flammable liquid n.o.s. sample (PG I)
48
Using the SDS

Previously known as the MSDS, the SDS, or Safety Data Sheet, is the sole responsibility of the manufacturers of the products, substances or materials. The SDS should be made available upon request, to anyone involved in the handling, the use, or shipping the chemical substances. The SDS gives valuable information of chemical properties, such as Flash Point, and Transport Information, as well as immediate first aid, handling and storage etc. The SDS are used globally, so they should follow a similar format, however, it is important to note that slight variations in format and layout may be found in SDSs.

Definitions
Packagings are a receptacle/s, as well as any other components, which are necessary for the receptacle to perform its containment function in conformance with the minimum packaging requirements.
A Package or Outer Package is the packaging along with its contents.
Limited Quantities - Are packages which have not been tested to the UN specification standards, and do NOT bear the Specification Markings. The shipper is responsible for the testing of the package and ensuring it is suitable transport. (Testing requirements are found in subsection 6.6)
UN Tested Packages - These packaging have been tested to meet the UN Specification requirements and are marked with a UN Specification marking in a circle along with the package limitations and specifications.
"#!$!%"&!$!'!$!((! )*!+#,!-&!
Single Packaging - Consists of only one layer of packaging. Example - Drum or Jerrican. Combination Packaging - Consists of an inner and an outer packaging to make up the package. IBC - Intermediate Bulk Container (Tote), means a rigid or flexible portable package, other than a cylinder or portable tank, and is designed for mechanical handling. In airfreight these totes are used for transporting Environmentally Hazardous Solids only.
69
Overpacks - is an enclosure that is used by a single consignor to provide protection or convenience in handling of a package, or to consolidate 2 or more packages of hazardous materials. Overpacks do not include transport vehicles or freight containers. The most common types of overpacks are shrink wrapped pallets, or protective boxes or crates. Overpacks do not bear the UN Specification markings, as these are located on the individual packages within the overpack. All other marks and labels are duplicated onto the outside of the overpack.
Specification Packaging
