What are Dangerous Goods?

• Dangerous goods are articles or substances that are capable of posing a significant risk to health, safety or property when transported by air and which are classified/regulated in the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (D.G.R.).
• For example, paint, dry ice, batteries, automobiles, etc., are regulated as dangerous goods when transported by air.

Offering Dangerous Goods for Air Transport

• For air transport safety, a shipper who knows best about his/her articles or substances must ensure that the articles or substances must be properly identified, classified, packed, marked, labeled and documented in accordance with IATA D.G.R.

Special Handling of Dangerous Goods by Korean Air

Marking

• For the purpose of safe transport and emergency handling, markings are required on the outside of packages. 
• Essential markings
  • Proper Shipping Name : Standard names used in the transport of dangerous goods
  • UN or ID Number : Specific number for dangerous good
  • Full name and address of shipper and consignee

Labeling

• Example

All labels, Hazard labels and Handling labels must be affixed to packages of dangerous goods to ensure proper handling.
