Understanding the 9 UN Dangerous Goods Hazard Classes:
- Class 1 (Explosives): Items designed to explode or combust, including fireworks, flares, ammunition, and igniters.
- Class 2 (Gases): Flammable, non-flammable, toxic, and compressed gases such as aerosols, propane, and butane canisters.
- Class 3 (Flammable Liquids): Liquids with a low flash point such as alcohol solutions, perfume, nail polish, paints, and adhesives.
- Class 4 (Flammable Solids): Materials susceptible to friction or heat-induced fire, including matches, metallic powders, and self-reactive chemicals.
- Class 5 (Oxidizing Substances & Organic Peroxides): Chemical agents yielding oxygen that support combustion, such as pool chemicals and bleach.
- Class 6 (Toxic & Infectious Substances): Harmful substances that can cause injury or illness, including pesticides, chemical poisons, and biomedical materials.
- Class 7 (Radioactive Materials): Substances emitting ionizing radiation, typically restricted from standard commercial retail channels.
- Class 8 (Corrosives): Liquids or solids that degrade organic tissue or corrode metal, such as battery acid, industrial cleaners, and drain uncloggers.
- Class 9 (Miscellaneous Dangerous Goods): Regulated hazards not covered by other classes, prominently including lithium-ion and lithium-metal batteries, dry ice, and magnetized objects.
Tips for Accurate Hazmat Screening:
Always review Section 14 (Transport Information) of the product's official Safety Data Sheet (SDS / MSDS) for the designated 4-digit UN number, proper shipping name, hazard class, and packing group (I, II, or III). For battery products, check the watt-hour (Wh) rating for lithium-ion (must typically be ≤ 100 Wh for consumer air transport) or lithium content in grams for lithium-metal to ensure proper carrier labeling and packaging compliance.
Ideal For
This screening tool provides initial hazmat triage to help identify products requiring deeper regulatory documentation, safety data sheets (SDS), or special carrier approvals.
