For the transport of dangerous goods in air transport the ICAO has published technical instructions (ICAO-TI) with many specific requirements. These regulations are also published by IATA together with additional requirements (marked) according to agreement between the airlines as IATA-DGR.

Some dangerous goods are forbidden for air transport. In such cases an exemption may be granted, but such an exemption is needed from all involved countries.

These instructions have been prepared for your use and for information to your staff engaged in the preparation and control of consignments of air cargo. These instructions are in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 2320/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing common rules in the field of civil aviation security.
