Are chemicals considered dangerous goods?
Yes, chemicals can often be classified as dangerous goods and hazardous materials, and we need to know which class your goods fall under and what conditions must apply when they are being transported. For example, knowing quantity limits helps determine the required documentation and packaging and labeling as well as the right transport modes. Dangerous or hazardous goods are items or substances that could pose risks to health, safety or the environment, particularly if they are not handled or packed properly. Dangerous goods can be solids, liquids or gases, and they include pure chemicals, mixtures of substances, manufactured products or individual articles. They are classified according to the type of potential hazard, e.g., flammable, poisonous, explosive, radioactive etc.
The United Nations (UN) has established a universal system for the classification, packaging, marking and labeling of dangerous goods to facilitate their safe transport.
There are nine classes of dangerous goods, plus a few sub-classes. Dangerous goods are named with specific UN numbers that must be used in the declaration form and in the packing and labeling.
