Dangerous Goods Declaration
Extracts data from Dangerous Goods Declarations (DGD’s), which are transport documents compiled by the shipper of dangerous goods. Dangerous Goods Declarations serve to confirm that the goods in question have been packed, marked, and declared in accordance with IATA (International Air Transport Association) Dangerous Goods Regulations.
A Dangerous Goods Declaration contains required information necessary to transport the goods without any health and safety risks, as well as without danger to the environment and infrastructure. This information can contain the following: the class of the dangerous goods and their packaging type, the special provision number, a hazardous material emergency response number, etc. The most common types of dangerous goods have UN-assigned four-digit ID’s.
Declarations of Dangerous Goods, along with other transport documents required for shipping, should accompany each package and consignment of dangerous goods.
