Introduction A 1. History
In 1953, the airline companies, members of the IATA (founded in the Havana in 1945) realised, that, the demand for transportation by aircraft of dangerous items or substances was increasing rapidly and that it was necessary to install strict regulations to insure the security and safety of passengers and members of the crew on these flights. The first regulations document for the transportation of dangerous goods was published en 1956. The IATA regulations for the transport of dangerous goods were published according to the IATA declarations 618 and 619. IATA regulations were founded on specifications in Annexe 18 in the Convention relative to international civil aviation and technique instructions for the security of air transport of dangerous goods. OACI. (Doc 9284-A/905 For operational reasons the IATA added specific details reflecting methods frequently used by the operators, to create an efficient and harmonic system when transporting dangerous goods, and to ensure the security of the transportation of these dangerous goods. The properties and the physical state of dangerous goods transported by aircraft can be sensibly modified or altered to conform to normal aircraft transportation conditions: o Large differences in temperature (from -40°C to +55°C) can cause contents to leek or the container to explode. o Important pressure loss (~ - 2/3 compared to the pressure on the ground) can cause a leek or the container to explode. o Vibrations subject to amplification (corresponding to an acceleration of 1 to 8 g) The necessity to comply to the rules and regulations is imperative to ensure safety and security while transporting dangerous goods by aircraft.
A 2. Definition “Dangerous goods are articles or substances which are capable of posing a risk to health, safety, property or the environment. DGR 1.0
A 3. Basis The ICAO regulations are codified in Annex 18 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation and in its Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air. The IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (the Regulations) contain all of the requirements of the technical Instructions. IATA has included additional requirements, which are more restrictive than the technical Instructions.
A 4. Applicability The IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations are applicable to: All airlines which are Members or Associate Members of IATA All airlines which are party to the IATA Multilateral Interline Traffic Agreement - Cargo All shippers and agents that offer consigments of dangerous goods to these operators..
A 5. Shipper’s responsibilities A shipper must comply fully with these Regulations when offering a consigment of dangerous goods to IATA Member and Associate Member ailines.. The shipper must: Provide employees with training that enables them to carry out their responsibilities with regard to the transport of dangerous goods by air, Ensure that the articles or substances are not prohibited for transport by air, Ensure the articles or substances are properly identified, classified, packed, marked, labelled and documented, Ensure that dangerous goods are packaged in compliance with all applicable air transport requirements.
A 6. Operator’s responsibilities In transporting dangerous goods, an operator must comply with the rquirements for: Storage, Loading, Inspection, Provision of information, including emergency response information, Reporting dangerous goods accidents and incidents, Retention of records, Training

N 9. Loading and securing Particular attention must be paid to the handling of packages during their preparation for transport, the type of aircraft on which they are to be carried and the method required to load that aircraft, so that accidental damage is not cause through dragging or mishandling of the packages. The operator must secure dangerous goods in the aircraft in a manner that will prevent any movement.
N 10. Damaged packages of dangerous goods Packages or overpacks must not be loaded onto an aircraft or into a unit load device (ULD) unless they have been inspected immediately prior to loading and found to be free from visible leaks or damage . The same way, before being loaded on an aircraft, ULDs must be inspected and found to be serviceable for transport.
N 11. Identification of unit load devices containing dangerous goods Each Unit Load Device (ULD) containing dangerous goods, which require hazard labels, must clearly display on its exterior an indication that dangerous goods are contained within the ULD. The primary and subsidiary hazard classes or divisions numbers of such dangerous goods must be clearly marked on this tag. If the ULD tag contains packages bearing the “Cargo Aircraft Only” label, the tag must indicate that the ULD can only be loaded on a cargo aircraft
