Learn More about IATA Certification Online Training
The International Air Transport Association Dangerous Goods Regulations (IATA DGR) are the most trusted source to help you prepare and document dangerous good shipments in commerce by air. It is the most complete, up-to-date, and user-friendly reference in the industry. In addition, air carriers go through the acceptance process prior to transporting by utilizing the acceptance checklist designed by IATA.
IATA DGR was developed in partnership with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and in coordination with local governments around the world. They are commonly referred to as the go-to regulations for the safe transport of dangerous goods by air. In many cases, IATA imposes more stringent requirements than ICAO, providing detailed requirements for every step of the shipping process.
According to the DGR, certain substances and articles can be severely restricted or forbidden from air transport altogether, depending on how great a threat they can pose to an aircraft, the crew, and passengers onboard. Any that are allowed for shipping by air must be classified, identified, packaged, marked, labeled, and documented, as well as segregated, prior to transport under highly specific guidelines. Anyone involved in the shipping process is required to undergo IATA certification training in accordance with Federal and international regulations to ensure safety throughout the process.
