Guidance on transporting dangerous goods
APC Dangerous Goods Guidance Nov 18 Version: vII Approved: Bill Russell Document No: 00730140 1
Dangerous Goods Guidance
Any substances that can pose a hazard to the health and safety of people or may cause damage to property or the environment.
The Carriage of Dangerous Goods Regulations do not consider how an item will be used, they simply consider if an item may pose a hazard during transport or in the event of an emergency. Many products or objects commonly available are classified as hazardous for transport. Some examples can be seen below.
If a substance is found to meet the classification criteria for any of the 9 classes of dangerous goods, the transport of the goods must comply with the dangerous goods regulations for the mode(s) of transport used.
Class 1 Explosives
Class 2 Gases
Class 3 Flammable liquids
Class 4 Flammable Solids, Other Flammable substance
Class 5 Oxidizing Substances and Organic Peroxides
Class 6 Toxic and Infectious Substances
Class 7 Radioactive goods
Class 8 Corrosive
Class 9 Miscellaneous
The carriage of dangerous goods is regulated by the main modes of transport used by parcel carriers to ensure it is done safely and to a uniform standard:
Mode Regulation/Guidance Scope Limitations
ADR/RID Applies to all road/rail transport journeys
Refer to carrier’s own restrictions
IMDG Code Includes domestic and international journeys by sea transport
More restrictive than road/rail – Dangerous Goods Documentation required for all shipments
IATA DGR ICAO TI
Applies to all shipments by air to domestic and international destinations
Most restrictive – refer to operator acceptance procedures

Lithium Batteries
Stand-alone Lithium batteries, power banks or articles containing Lithium batteries need to be shipped as fully regulated Dangerous Goods if the Lithium content or power rating exceeds a certain threshold.
Below this threshold these same articles may be prepared under a simplified system providing certain packaging and marking provisions are met.
These are described in the various modal regulations as either Section II shipment (air regulations) and Special provision (SP) 188 for sea and road.
Minimum Packing Requirements
One of the major risks associated with the transport of batteries and battery-powered equipment is fire caused by the short circuit of the battery and as a result the battery terminals coming into contact with other batteries, metal objects, or conductive surfaces.
Methods to protect against short circuit include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Inner packaging controls, i.e. to completely enclose to avoid contact with conductive material or short circuit activation (if in equipment).
• Cushioning void fill to protect the articles and movement
• Exposed terminal or connectors are protected with non-conductive caps or tape.
• Protection eliminating accidental initiation of battery powered articles.
• Rigid outer packing, able to withstand 1.2m drop test.
• New lithium battery mark, and example of packaging requirements see below.
This marking requirement does not apply to:
• Packages containing only button cell batteries installed in equipment (including circuit boards)
• Packages containing no more than four cells, or two batteries installed in equipment and no more than two packages per consignment
