Overview of dangerous goods classes: Dangerous goods classes in transportation

The transport of dangerous goods is part of many business sectors and has become part of everyday life in the transportation industry. Whether sea freight, air freight, or transport by truck , dangerous goods transport plays a role everywhere. However, the transport of hazardous substances also requires special safety precautions to prevent accidents and damage. One of the most important safety measures in the transport of dangerous goods is load securing . In this blog post, we will focus on the dangerous goods classes and explain why they are so important for load securing.

Why are dangerous goods classes important?


The transport of dangerous goods is associated with particular risks and requires particularly careful precautions. To minimize these risks, the UN Commission on Hazardous Substances (UNECE) has developed a system for classifying dangerous goods, known as dangerous goods classes . The classes are defined based on hazard characteristics such as explosiveness, toxicity, or flammability . The system was developed to ensure a high level of safety and centralized regulation for transporters, waste disposal companies, and those involved in the value chain.

How many dangerous goods classes are there?

There are nine general classes of dangerous goods (IMO) listed based on the degree of danger to the transport system:

Dangerous goods class 1 : explosive substances
Dangerous goods class 2 : Gases and gaseous substances
Dangerous goods class 3 : liquid substances
Dangerous goods class 4 : solid substances and objects
Dangerous goods class 5 : flammable substances
Dangerous goods class 6 : toxic substances
Dangerous goods class 7 : radioactive substances
Dangerous goods class 8 : corrosive substances
Dangerous goods class 9 : various dangerous substances

Couriers and transport companies must determine the type of material being transported and take appropriate safety precautions. Dangerous goods classes can be further subdivided depending on the specific class. Appropriate dangerous goods stickers for the various hazard classes can be found in our shop.
