    The term hazardous materials is applied to all substances and objects whose transport may represent a
    potential threat to the environment, humans, animals and public safety and order. The transportation of
    hazardous materials is therefore subject to various legal regulations depending on the mode of transport.
    The regulations concerning classification for the relevant mode of transport determine whether a
    substance or object is a hazardous material. Differences are made between the following modes of
    transport.

    Road (ADR) = European agreement concerning the international carriage of dangerous goods by
    road (ADR = Accord européen relatif au transport international des merchandises Dangereuses par
    Route)
    Inland waterway (AND) = European Agreement concerning the international carriage of dangerous
    goods by inland waterway (ADN = Accord européen relatif au transport international des
    merchandises dangereuses par voie de navigation intérieure)
    Air (IATA-DGR) = International aviation treaty agency – dangerous goods regulations (ICAO –
    International civil aviation organization
    Ocean (IMDG) = International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (IMO -International maritime
    organization)
    Rail (RID) = Convention concerning the international carriage of dangerous goods by rail

    Efforts aimed at harmonization mean that the regulations governing classification for the various modes of
    transport are being brought into line. However, differences still exist. Prominent regulatory frameworks for
    the transportation of dangerous goods include the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of
    Dangerous Goods, ICAO’s Technical Instructions, IATA’s Dangerous Goods Regulations and the IMO’s
    International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code. Collectively, these regulatory regimes mandate the means
    by which dangerous goods are to be handled, packaged, labeled and transported.

    Regulatory frameworks incorporate comprehensive classification systems of hazards to provide taxonomy


    of dangerous goods. Classification of dangerous goods is broken down into nine classes according to the
    type of danger materials or items present, click on a class to read more details.

    Explosives
    Gases
    Flammable Liquids
    Flammable Solids
    Oxidizing Substances
    Toxic & Infectious Substances
    Radioactive Material
    Corrosives
    Miscellaneous Dangerous Goods

    The multitude of dangerous goods regimes across the world and the complexity of dangerous goods
    classifications and regulations render compliance a particularly difficult task.
    The regulations and procedures for shipping “hazardous” materials apply to all individuals involved with
    the transportation/shipping of hazardous materials. This includes all those individuals who arrange for
    transport and/or may engage in any of the following activities involving hazardous materials.

    Filling packages
    Marking and labeling packages
    Preparing shipping papers, handling, loading, securing and segregating packages within a transport
    vehicle, freight container or cargo hold, and transporting.
