Additional Details
Some dangerous goods have been identified as being too dangerous to be carried on any aircraft under any circumstances; others are forbidden under normal circumstances but may be carried with specific approvals from the States concerned; some are restricted to carriage on all cargo aircraft; most however, can be safely carried on passenger aircraft as well, provided certain requirements are met.
Packaging is the essential component in the safe transport of dangerous goods by air. The IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations provide Packing Instructions for all dangerous goods acceptable for air transport with a wide range of options for inner, outer and single packagings. The packing instructions normally require the use of UN performance tested specification packagings, however these are not required when dangerous goods are shipped in Limited Quantities under the provisions of Limited Quantity in Packing Instructions. The quantity of dangerous goods permitted within these packagings is strictly limited so as to minimize the inherent risk presented by the dangerous goods should an incident occur.
