The IATA 618 53rd Edition, “Dangerous Goods Regulations,” is now available. This revision is valid from Jan 1, 2012 until Dec 31, 2012.
Recognized by the world’s airlines, IATA 618 is the industry standard for shipping dangerous goods by air and the most complete, up-to-date, and user-friendly reference manual trusted by the industry for over 50 years.
Staying in compliance with the latest regulations is critical for safely shipping dangerous goods by air. The IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR) draws from the industry’s most trustworthy cargo sources to help users classify, pack, mark, label and document shipments of dangerous goods.
The DGR includes international dangerous goods air regulations as well as state and airline requirements, providing the user with all the information needed to ship safely and in compliance.
Changes in the 2012 edition will have a direct impact to all involved in the transport of dangerous goods by air, including changes to the assignment of Special Provisions and changes to the requirements in completing the Shipper’s Declaration.
