The correct path or no path at all

Our specialists ensure that your shipments adhere to the universal system established by the United Nations for classifying, packaging, marking, and labeling dangerous goods.

It’s important to note that there may be regulations or stringent requirements regarding packaging, labeling, and the segregation of different types of goods. Whether it’s shipping companies or airlines, operators may impose additional criteria that must be observed and met.

The nine categories of dangerous goods – ranging from explosives to miscellaneous items

Our initial step involves understanding precisely what needs to be transported and which category of dangerous goods it falls into. Then, we determine quantity limits, packaging methods, labeling requirements, documentation, and suitable modes of transport.

In total, there are nine categories of dangerous goods, which can exist as liquids, solids, or gases:

• Class 1: Explosives
• Class 2: Gases
• Class 3: Flammable liquids
• Class 4: Flammable solids and substances prone to spontaneous combustion or emitting flammable gases
• Class 5: Oxidizing agents & organic peroxides
• Class 6: Toxins & infectious substances
• Class 7: Radioactive material
• Class 8: Corrosives
• Class 9: Miscellaneous

Their classification depends on factors such as their explosiveness, radioactivity, toxicity, or flammability, and the level of hazard they pose.
