16 Limited and Excepted Quantities Section 2.6 Excepted Quantities Section 2.7 Limited Quantifies These smaller quantity exceptions will be discussed in Section 10 of this training module 52 Dangerous Goods Transportation Compliance Training IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations Section 3 Classification 53 IATA Section 3 Classification Answers General Questions Does the substance or article meet the criteria of one or more of the nine UN hazard classes? Which packing group, if any, is most appropriate for the substance or article? Results in Specific Information Identification Number Proper Shipping Name Hazard Class Packing Group BASIC SHIPPING DESCRIPTION 54 Page 16

17 The Classification Process Check physical and chemical properties of the substance Compare these to the defining criteria in IATA section 3 Assign the item to one or more hazard classes Determine the packing group, if applicable Determine which hazard class takes precedence Choose the most appropriate proper shipping name Proper classification is the responsibility of the shipper 55 Physical Chemical Properties The first step in the classification process is to check the physical and chemical properties of the substance SDS for chemicals and preparations Specification Sheet for items such as batteries Shipper s Specific Knowledge of the Material 56 The Classification Process Check physical and chemical properties of the substance Compare these to the defining criteria in IATA section 3 Assign the item to one or more hazard classes Determine the packing group, if applicable Determine which hazard class takes precedence Choose the most appropriate proper shipping name These steps are usually performed at the same time 57 Page 17

18 Compare to Criteria in Section 3 Class 3 IATA Section 3.3 Flammable Liquid Division 6.1 IATA Section 3.6 Toxic Material Class 8 IATA Section 3.8 Corrosive Substance Flammability Information Boiling Point and Flash Point < 60 o C Oral, Dermal or Inhalation Toxicity Data LD 50 or LC 50 Info on how quickly the material reacts with skin and certain types of metal 58 UN Manual of Tests and Criteria Criteria Test Methods Procedures Supplements national and international regulations DG and GHS Updated 59 UN Manual of Tests and Criteria Part I Classification of explosives Part II Assignment of self-reactive substances and organic peroxides Part III Classes 2, 3, 4, 5.1, 8 or 9 Part IV Transport equipment 60 Page 18

19 9 Hazard Classes Some classes have divisions Packing Groups An indication of the relative degree of danger presented by the product within a class or division. Packing Groups are represented by the Roman numerals I, II, or II: Packing Group I high danger Packing Group II medium danger Packing Group III low danger Note: Not every hazard class or division has packing groups. Classes 3, 4, Division 5.1, 6.1 and Class 8 have assigned packing groups by criteria and packaging must meet the performance level for the relevant packing group Explosives Explosive substances Explosive articles, except devices that contain very small explosive charges that will not pose a danger in transport Any other article or substance manufactured for the purpose of producing a practical, explosive or pyrotechnic effect Classification of new explosives is usually done by the Competent Authority under specific UN test protocols 63 Page 19

20 3.1 Class 1: Explosives This class is divided in 6 divisions 1.1 Mass Explosive Hazard (Dynamite, Explosive, blasting, Type A, Black powder) 1.2 Projection Hazard, but no mass explosion (Rockets, Grenades) 1.3 Fire Hazard and minor blast or projection, but no mass explosion (Fuse, Non-detonating, Igniters) 1.4 No significant risk (minor explosion confined to package) (Air-bag modules, pyrotechnic) 1.5 Very insensitive substances with a mass explosive hazard (Explosive, blasting, Type E) 1.6 Extremely Insensitive substances with a mass explosive hazard (Article, Explosive, extremely insensitive) Each explosive article is then given a letter to represent its compatibility group. Explosives with the same compatibility letter may be transported together Class 2: Gases This class includes gases in cylinders and aerosols 2.1 Flammable gas concentration vs. flammability range 2.2 Non-flammable, non-toxic gas pressure 200 kpa (29 psia) asphyxiant, oxidizing or other than 2.1 or Toxic gas known to be toxic or corrosive to humans presumed to be toxic based on LC 50 value Flammable Gases Gases which are ignitable or meet the flammable ranges listed in the regulations when at atmospheric pressure and a temperature of 20 o C (68 o F) 66 Page 20

21 Non-Flammable Gases Gases which dilute or replace the oxygen that is normally in the atmosphere or which are oxidizing and cause or contribute to fires Includes pure gases or gas mixtures with an oxidizing power greater than Toxic Gases Gases which are known to be so toxic or corrosive to humans as to pose a health hazard Gases that are presumed to be toxic or corrosive to humans because they have an LC 50 value < 5000 ppm LC 50 is the lethal dose that kills 50% of a test group Aerosols Class 2 includes "aerosols": non-refillable receptacle of metal, glass or plastic gas compressed, liquefied or dissolved under pressure with or without liquid, paste or powder fitted with self-closing release device for ejection of a solid, liquid in suspension in a gas, as a foam, paste or powder, or in a liquid or gaseous state 69 Page 21

22 Common Class 2 Materials Aerosols and propellants for aerosols Propane Compressed or liquefied gases use in labs Class 3: Flammable Liquids Liquids that give off a flammable vapor which ignites at temperatures of not more than 60ºC (flash point of 60ºC (140ºF) c.c. or 65.6 ºC (150ºF) o.c); or Liquids at elevated temperatures that give off flammable vapors; or Liquids transported above their flash points Note: The DOT combustible liquid exception, which allows you to reclassify a liquid with a flash point above 100 F and ship it non-regulated cannot be used for air shipments under IATA 71 Table 3.3.A Class 3 Packing Group Assignment Packing Group I Flash Point (closed cup) Initial Boiling Point 35ºC (95ºF) II < 23ºC (73ºF) > 35ºC (95ºF) III 23ºC (73ºF), but 60ºC (140ºF) > 35ºC (95ºF) 72 Page 22

23 Common Class 3 Materials Fragrance or Perfumery Products Solvents Isopropanol, Acetone Paints, Adhesives, Cleaners Fuel Flavoring extracts Class Flammable Solid flammable solids self-reactive & related solid desensitized explosives 4.2 Spontaneously Combustible pyrophoric material self-heating material 4.3 Dangerous when wet emit flammable gas on contact with water Flammable Solids Readily combustible solids such as powdered metals Solids which may cause fire through friction Self-reactive materials Materials requiring temperature control for stabilization 75 Page 23

24 3.4.2 Spontaneously Combustible Substances that are liable to spontaneous heating under normal transport conditions Materials that will heat up when in contact with air including self-heating substances and pyrophoric materials Dangerous When Wet Substances, which in contact with water, emit flammable gases in dangerous quantities or which may become spontaneously combustible Vapors can easily be ignited by ordinary sources of ignition or be explosive Magnesium alloy granules Class Oxidizers yields oxygen to cause or contribute to combustion of other materials 5.2 Organic peroxides Thermally unstable substances which may undergo exothermic, self accelerating decomposition. May also: Liable to explosive decomposition Sensitive to impact or friction React dangerously with other substances Cause damage to the eyes 78 Page 24

25 3.5.1 Oxidizing Substances Contribute oxygen which can cause or enhance the burning of combustible materials. Potassium nitrate which is also called saltpeter is an oxidizer used in fireworks and rocket propellant Organic Peroxides Thermally unstable substances that may undergo exothermic, self-accelerating decomposition when exposed to heat, contact with impurities, friction or impact Burn rapidly React dangerously with other substances Cause damage to the eyes These materials are classified based on the level of danger they present Certain organic peroxides may require temperature control to maintain them in a safe condition during transport 80 Common Oxidizer Ammonium nitrate fertilizers Oxygen generators Sodium nitrite Oxidizer but also toxic 81 Page 25

26 Class Toxic Substances liable to cause death, injury, or harm to human health if swallowed, inhaled, or contacted by the skin. Classified by human experience and animal testing Lethal dose (LD) or lethal concentration (LC) tests Packing Group Oral Toxicity LD 50 (mg/kg) Dermal LD 50 (mg/kg) I Inhalation Toxicity by Dusts and Mists LC 50 (mg/l) II > 5 but 50 > 50 but 200 > 0.2 but 2 III > 50 but 300 > 200 but 1000 > 2 but Division Infectious Substances Known or reasonably expected to contain pathogens which can cause disease in animals or humans Category A transported in a form that when exposure occurs is capable of causing permanent disability, life-threatening or fatal diseases to humans or animals (see Table 3.6.D) Category B an infectious substance that does not meet the criteria for inclusion in Category A Biological products Cultures Medical or clinical wastes 83 Exceptions for Division 6.2 IATA Contaminated medical devices or equipment being transported for disinfection, repair or evaluation are not subject to the IATA regulations under conditions specified in this section 84 Page 26

27 3.7 Class 7: Radioactive Material Any material containing radionuclides where the activity concentration and the total activity in the consignment exceed the values specified in the regulations Many regulatory exceptions exist for low level radioactive materials such as thorium Low level radioactive materials and articles containing them pose a smaller risk Specific activity = activity per unit mass of the radionuclide 85 Class 7 Materials Ionization chamber smoke detectors x-rays Exit signs powered by Tritium Medical uses include nuclear medicine, radiation therapy Self-luminous paints for watches, clocks, aircraft switches and other instrument dials (pre-1970 s) Class 8: Corrosives Liquid or solid material which in the event of leakage can: cause severe damage by chemical action when in contact with living tissue materially damage other freight or the means of transport Packing Group Exposure Time TABLE 3.8.A Observation Time I 3 min 60 min - II > 3 min but 60 min 14 days - Corrosion Rate (steel/aluminium) III > 60 min but 4 hr 14 days > 6.25 mm/yr (1/4 in/yr) 87 Page 27
