Dangerous goods

All dangerous goods must be packed in good-quality materials that meet IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR). Packaging must be strong enough to withstand the temperatures, pressure changes, and handling that occur during normal air transport.

Packing guidelines:

• Use compatible materials: Packaging must not react with the dangerous goods. If absorbent material is needed, ensure it will not react with the contents in case of leakage.
• Secure gas cylinders: Fit valve protection caps or secure valves to prevent accidental discharge.
• Protect against leaks: Infectious substances and diagnostic specimens must be in a watertight, leak-proof container.
• Allow space for liquid expansion: Leave enough ullage (empty space) to account for temperature changes.
• Apply correct labelling: Fix all required labels securely in English and remove any irrelevant markings. Empty packaging: Containers that previously held dangerous goods must also follow IATA DGR rules unless they have been cleaned thoroughly. If not cleaned, mark the packaging clearly.
