    The document discusses the Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR) which classify dangerous goods transported by aircraft into 9 classes based on their hazards. The classes include explosives (Class 1), gases (Class 2), flammable liquids (Class 3), flammable solids (Class 4), oxidizing substances and organic peroxides (Class 5), toxic and infectious substances (Class 6), radioactive materials (Class 7), corrosive substances (Class 8), and miscellaneous dangerous goods (Class 9). The DGR provide packaging, labeling, and handling requirements for each class to ensure their safe transport and minimize risks to passengers, crew, and aircraft.

    In aviation, DGR stands for Dangerous Goods Regulations.

    These regulations are developed and


    enforced to ensure the safe handling, transportation, and storage of dangerous goods or hazardous
    materials on board aircraft. Dangerous goods refer to substances or articles that have the potential to
    pose a risk to health, safety, property, or the environment.

    The DGR classifies dangerous goods into different categories based on the nature of their hazards. Here
    are the nine classes of dangerous goods as defined by the International Air Transport Association (IATA)
    Dangerous Goods Regulations:

    1. Class 1: Explosives

    This class includes substances and articles that can cause an explosion or release significant amounts
    of heat, gas, or smoke. Examples include fireworks, ammunition, and flares.

    2. Class 2: Gases

    Class 2 encompasses compressed, liquefied, or dissolved gases. It includes flammable gases, non-
    flammable gases, toxic gases, and aerosols. Examples include propane, oxygen, and aerosol sprays.

    3. Class 3: Flammable Liquids

    This class includes liquids with a flashpoint below 60°C (140°F). Flammable liquids can easily ignite and
    sustain combustion. Examples include gasoline, alcohol, and diesel fuel.

    4. Class 4: Flammable Solids

    Class 4 comprises substances that are readily combustible or may cause a fire through friction or short
    exposure to an ignition source. Examples include matches, sulfur, and certain types of metals.

    5. Class 5: Oxidizing Substances and Organic Peroxides

    This class includes substances that release oxygen and enhance the combustion of other materials. It
    also includes organic peroxides, which are highly reactive and prone to combustion. Examples include
    hydrogen peroxide, ammonium nitrate, and potassium permanganate.

    6. Class 6: Toxic and Infectious Substances


    Class 6 encompasses substances that are toxic or infectious to humans and other living organisms. It
    includes poisonous chemicals, biological materials, and certain medical waste. Examples include
    pesticides, cyanide, and infectious substances like Ebola virus samples.

    7. Class 7: Radioactive Materials

    Class 7 includes materials that emit ionizing radiation, such as radioactive isotopes used in medical and
    industrial applications. Strict controls and shielding measures are necessary to ensure safety. Examples
    include uranium, plutonium, and certain medical isotopes.

    8. Class 8: Corrosive Substances

    This class includes substances that can cause severe damage to living tissues, metals, or other
    materials through chemical reactions. Examples include sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, and battery
    electrolytes.

    9. Class 9: Miscellaneous Dangerous Goods

    Class 9 encompasses substances or articles that present a relatively low risk compared to those in
    other classes but still require special handling. It includes substances with hazardous properties not
    covered in the previous classes, such as lithium batteries, magnets, and dry ice.

    Each class of dangerous goods has specific packaging, labeling, and handling requirements to ensure
    their safe transportation by air. Compliance with the DGR is crucial to minimize risks and ensure the
    safety of passengers, crew, and the aircraft.
