Understanding DG Classifications (1–9)
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) and the United Nations have defined 9 DG classes, each with its own handling protocols.
Class 1: Explosives
Includes fireworks, ammunition, and blasting caps. Special packaging and documentation are mandatory.
Class 2: Gases
Compressed or liquefied gases like butane, oxygen cylinders. Leak-proof packaging and temperature-controlled transit are critical.
Class 3: Flammable Liquids
Examples include paints, lubricants, and ethanol. Requires flame-retardant labeling and secure handling.
See our process for booking chemical and lubricants courier.
Class 4: Flammable Solids
Includes matches, sulfur, and magnesium. Typically require isolation and strong outer packaging.
Class 5: Oxidizing Substances and Organic Peroxides
Examples: hydrogen peroxide. Needs temperature and chemical stability monitoring.
Class 6: Toxic and Infectious Substances
Laboratory samples, medical waste, and pesticides. Involves biohazard protocols and trained handlers.
Class 7: Radioactive Materials
Used in medical and nuclear industries. Requires government permissions and special containment.
Class 8: Corrosives
Acids, alkalis, and battery fluids. Must be clearly marked and stored upright.
Class 9: Miscellaneous Dangerous Goods
