Key Benefits to You

Many shippers, forwarders and carriers involved in the transport of dangerous goods by air are not aware that the “regulations” they have become accustomed to using over years are actually based on an underlying framework set out under Convention by ICAO (The International Civil Aviation Organisation).

The Technical Instructions presented here therefore represent the official legislative provisions for the transport of dangerous goods by air for all member states globally (and the airlines registered within those states).  They are quite simply the facts in this arena.

ICAO only publish a revised version of the Technical Instructions every two years, based on their knowledge of the pace of change in the type and nature of dangerous goods materials being transported by air.  Why buy another publication every year when the official source is satisfied that every second year is sufficient to update this information?

The facts on dangerous goods – simply explained!
