IATA DGR
Aviation CodesDefinition
The IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations — the global standard for shipping dangerous goods by air, published annually by IATA. The DGR incorporates the ICAO Technical Instructions and adds more restrictive provisions where justified. The DGR classifies dangerous goods into 9 classes, specifies packaging requirements, labeling, documentation, and training requirements. All FlashGL personnel involved in handling, accepting, or transporting dangerous goods are trained and certified under IATA DGR, with recurrent training every 24 months.
Related FAQs
Does FlashGL handle dangerous goods? +
Yes, within regulatory limits. FlashGL complies with IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR) for air transport and ADR for road transport. We handle common DG categories including lithium batteries (UN3481, UN3091), chemical precursors, and battery-powered equipment.
Each DG shipment includes proper classification, packaging, marking, labeling, and documentation. For items that cannot fly as DG, we arrange alternative transport modes.
How should I package my shipment? +
Use a sturdy outer box or case with internal cushioning that prevents movement during transit. For OBC shipments, remember the courier must be able to hand-carry the package through airports, so a practical size and secure closure matter.
Special cargo has additional requirements: temperature-sensitive goods travel in validated thermal containers we can supply; fragile electronics should use anti-static and shock-absorbing packaging; dangerous goods must follow IATA DGR packing instructions — our team confirms the correct packaging class before pickup.
Not sure? Send us photos and dimensions of your item, and our operations desk will advise the right packaging — or arrange professional packing at origin.
