Division 1.1: Substances and articles which have a mass explosion hazardĭivision 1.2: Substances and articles which have a projection hazard but not a mass explosion hazardĭivision 1.3: Substances and articles which have a fire hazard and either a minor blast hazard or a minor projection hazard or bothĭivision 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 packageĭivision 1.5: Very insensitive substances which have a mass explosion hazardĭivision 1.6: Extremely insensitive articles which do not have a mass explosion hazard Explosives are capable by chemical reaction of producing gases at temperatures, pressures and speeds as to cause catastrophic damage through force and/or of producing otherwise hazardous amounts of heat, light, sound, gas or smoke DGI have the ability to service all customer requests pertaining to the logistics of explosives packing, packaging, compliance, freight forwarding and training. DGI are proficient in handling explosives, Class 1 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 Įxplosives are materials or items which have the ability to rapidly conflagrate or detonate as a consequence of chemical reaction. Regulatory frameworks incorporate comprehensive classification systems of hazards to provide a taxonomy of dangerous goods. Collectively, these regulatory regimes mandate the means by which dangerous goods are to be handled, packaged, labelled and transported. 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. The transportation of dangerous goods is controlled and governed by a variety of different regulatory regimes, operating at both the national and international levels. ‘Dangerous goods’ are materials or items with hazardous properties which, if not properly controlled, present a potential hazard to human health and safety, infrastructure and/ or their means of transport.
