IATA Dangerous Goods Regulation Manual


The IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR) manual is known as the global reference for shipping dangerous goods. DGR helps in the packing, marking, classification, labeling and documenting dangerous shipments, which is based on national and international regulations — including requirements that are specific to airlines.

Per the product page on our website:
This book of regulations published by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) is essential for anyone who ships dangerous goods by air. Updated annually to incorporate the latest international regulations. The IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations is the only user manual for shipping dangerous goods by air recognized by the World's Airlines--used by more than 200 airlines. Covers every facet of national and international shipping regulations, including a comprehensive Dangerous Goods list detailing Proper Shipping Names and labeling requirements, packing requirements, training guidelines and up-to-date information on shipping forms.
