Understanding Dangerous Goods and Dry Ice Shipments

Dangerous goods (also known as hazardous materials) are substances that pose risks to health, safety, or the environment if not handled properly. They are classified into nine categories under international regulations like IATA (air transport) and ADR (road transport):

  • Class 1: Explosive Substances
  • Class 2: Gases (e.g., compressed, flammable, or toxic gases)
  • Class 3: Flammable Liquids (e.g., gasoline, alcohol)
  • Class 4: Flammable Solids (4.1), Self-Reactive Substances (4.2), Substances that Emit Flammable Gases with Water (4.3)
  • Class 5: Oxidizing Substances (5.1), Organic Peroxides (5.2)
  • Class 6: Toxic Substances (6.1), Infectious Substances (6.2)
  • Class 7: Radioactive Materials
  • Class 8: Corrosive Substances (e.g., acids, batteries)
  • Class 9: Miscellaneous Dangerous Goods (e.g., dry ice, lithium batteries)

Dry ice (solid carbon dioxide, UN 1845) falls under Class 9 and is widely used for shipping perishable goods, medical supplies, and biological samples that require low temperatures (-78.5°C/-109.3°F). However, dry ice sublimates into CO2 gas, posing risks like pressure buildup or asphyxiation if not packaged and labeled correctly. SkyNet ensures compliance with IATA’s Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR) for air transport and ADR for road transport, including proper labeling (e.g., "Dry Ice, UN 1845" with net quantity) and packaging in ventilated containers.
