The transportation of DG is controlled and governed by a variety of different regulatory regimes, operating at both the national and international levels. 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 DG 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 a taxonomy of DG. 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;

1. Explosives
