    Class 1 Explosives

    • Division 1.1: Substances and articles which have a

    projection hazard but not a mass explosion
    hazard
    • Division 1.3: Substances and articles which have a
    fire hazard and either a minor blast hazard or a
    minor projection hazard or both
    Class 1 Explosives (continue…)

    • Division 1.4: Substances and articles which present


    no significant hazard; only a small hazard in the
    event of ignition or initiation during transport with
    any effects largely confined to the package
    • Division 1.5: Very insensitive substances which
    have a mass explosion hazard
    • Division 1.6: Extremely insensitive articles which
    do not have a mass explosion hazard
    • Example: ammunitions, fireworks, air bag
    inflactors and fuse, etc.
    Class 2 Gases

    • Division 2.1: Flammable gases


    • Division 2.2: Non-flammable,
    non-toxic gases
    • Division 2.3: Toxic gases
    • Example: oxygen, natural gas,
    carbon dioxide, lighters, and
    aerosols.
    Class 3 Flammable Liquids

    • Flammable liquids with flash points no more


    than 60 celcius degrees. It covers liquid
    substances, molten solid substances with a
    flash point above 60 celcius degrees and
    liquid desensitized explosives.
    • Example: acetone, adhesives, paints,
    gasoline, perfume, ethanol, methanol and
    some pesticides with flammable solvents.
    Class 4 Flammable Solids

    • Division 4.1: Flammable solids

    spontaneous combustion
    • Division 4.3: Substances which, in
    contact with water, emit flammable
    gases
    • Example: sulphur, matches,
    activated carbon, alkali metals and
    some metal powders.

    • Example: hydrogen peroxide,
    potassium permanganate,
    sodium nitrite, ammonium
    nitrate fertilizers and oxygen
    generators.
    Class 6 Toxic Substances and Infectious Substances

    • Division 6.1: Toxic substances


    • Division 6.2: Infectious substances
    • Example: cyanides, lead compounds,
    phenol, cresols, some pesticides, biological
    samples and clinical wastes.
    Class 7 Radioactive Material
    • Class 7 dangerous goods are
    radioactive materials. There is no sub-
    division. However, there are different
    labels for radioactive materials which
    depend on the content and activity of
    such materials.
    • Commonly transported class 7
    dangerous goods include enriched
    uranium, radioactive ores, isotopes
    and some medical equipments or
    parts.
    Class 8 Corrosive Substances
    • Class 8 dangerous goods are corrosive
    substances. There is no sub-division.
    Corrosive substances may cause severe
    damage when in contact with living
    tissue such as skin or damage or
    destroy surrounding materials in case
    of leakage.
    • Commonly transported class 8
    dangerous goods include acids such as
