	Explosive Division 1.4 REX	Articles and substances which present no significant hazard
	Explosive Division 1.5 REX	Very insensitive substances which have a mass explosion hazard
	Division 1.6 REX	Extremely insensitive articles which do not have a mass explosion hazard
	Explosives RXB, RXC, RXD, RXE, RXG	Compatibility Group Assignment according to DGR Table 3.1.A	Distress signals, Fuse igniters, etc.
	Explosives RXS	Articles and substances which present no significant hazard. Effect from accidental functioning is confined within the package	Ammunition for hand weapons, for signals, Safety Fuses, certain types of Fireworks, etc.

Class2 - Gas

Hazard Label	Name/Divison Cargo IMP Code	Description	Comment/Examples
	Flammable Gas Division 2.1 RFG	Any compressed gas which, when mixed with air in certain proportions, forms a flammable mixture.	Butane, Hydrogen,Propane, Acetylene, Lighters
	Non-Flammable non-toxic gas Division 2.2 RNG RCL	Any non-flammable, non-toxic compressed gas.	Carbon dioxide, Neon, Fire Extinguisher, or low- temperature liquified gas such as liquified Nitrogen or Helium
	Toxic Gas Division 2.3 RPG	Gases known to be toxic or corrosive to humans and known to pose a health risk	Most toxic gases are forbidden for carriage by air; some are permitted, e.g. aerosols of low toxicity, tear gas devices.

	Organic Peroxide Division 5.2 ROP	An organic material (liquid or solid) that can be ignited readily by external flame and then burns with an accelerating rate: some substances react dangerously with others.	Tert-Butyl hydroperoxide, listed in Appendix C of the DGR

Class6 - Toxic Substance

Hazard Label	Name/Divison Cargo IMP Code	Description	Comment/Examples
	Toxic Substance Division 6.1 RPB	Liquids or solids which are dangerous if inhaled, swallowed or absorbed through the skin.	Arsenic, Nicotine, Cyanide, Pesticides, Strychnine.Some are totally forbidden,e.g. Bromoacetone
	Infectious Substance Division 6.2 RIS	Substances which are known or reasonably expected to contain pathogens and cause disease in humans or in animals.	Virus, Bacteria, such as HIV (AIDS), Rabies, some diagnostic speci- mens and Medical and Clinical waste

Class7 - Radioactive

Class9 : Miscellaneous

Hazard Label	Name/Divison Cargo IMP Code	Description	Comment/Examples
	Miscellaneous dangerous goods Class 9 RMD	Any substance which presents a danger during air transportation that is not covered by other classes. These include Aviation regulated solids or liquids, where materials may have an irritating, noxious or other properties which could cause extreme annoyance or discomfort to crew members preventing them from performing their duties.	Asbestos, Garlic Oil, Life Rafts, Internal Combustion Engines, Vehicles
	Polymeric beads Class 9 RSB	Semi-processed polymeric articles, impregnated with a flammable gas or liquid as a blowing agent; may evolve small quantities of flammable gas.
	Carbon dioxide, solid (Dry Ice) Class 9 ICE	Carbon dioxide, solid/dry ice has a temperature of -79°C. On sublimation it produces a gas heavier than air which in an enclosed area and in larger quantities can lead to suffocation.
	Magnetized material Class 9 MAG	These materials have relatively high magnetic field strength.	Magnetrons and non-shielded permanent magnets without keeper bars installed.
