[NHCOLL-L:4205] New IATA excepted quantity label - Part 2

[Bentley, Andrew Charles]

Hi all

 

I was asked to please get information regarding other chemicals with reference to the new codes in the IATA dangerous goods regulations.  Again, thanks to Brendan Sullivan from IATA for the prompt reply.  Attached are the codes for denatured alcohol (UN 1987) and Formaldehyde >25% concentration (UN 2209).  

 

UN 1987

 

 

UN 2209

 

 

According to the dangerous goods table, formaldehyde at concentrations less than 25% but greater than 10% is considered aviation regulated liquid (UN 3334) while concentrations less than 10% are not regulated.  However, Brendan did mention that this may still fall into the classification of UN 3334 due to the following catch phrase in the wording of this regulation:

 

"Any material, which has narcotic, noxious, irritating or other properties such that, in the event of spillage or leakage on an aircraft, could cause extreme annoyance or discomfort to crew members so as to prevent the correct performance of assigned duties. The materials included under this proper shipping name must not meet any of the definitions for Classes 1 through 8."

 

However, this does leave this very much up to interpretation and I have another email in to Brendan to confirm the status of this.

 

Hope this helps

 

Andy
