Dangerous Goods (DG) classification is imperative in order to determine the action required during handling, packaging or transporting of dangerous goods.
By classifying a DG cargo, the respective hazard is automatically identified by all parties involved in the supply chain, including the emergency authorities.
DG classification depends on their predominant hazard. Certain categories are sub-divided into several subclasses due to the nature and chemical characteristics of the substances producing the risk.
The classes of Dangerous Goods according to the ADR Agreement are the following:
Class 1: Explosives (1.1-1.6)
Class 2 Gases: Compressed, Liquefied or Dissolved Under Pressure
2.1 Flammable gases
2.2 Non flammable, non-toxic gases
2.3 Toxic gases
Class 3: Flammable Liquids
Class 4: Flammable Solids
4.1 Flammable Solids
4.2 Spontaneously combustible substances
4.3 Substances which emits flammable gas in contact with water
Class 5: Oxidizing Agents and Organic Peroxides
5.1 Oxidizing Agents
5.2 Organic Peroxides
Class 6: Toxic and Infectious Substances
6.1 Toxic substances
6.2 Infectious substances
Class 7: Radioactive Materials
Class 8: Corrosive Substances
Class 9: Miscellaneous Dangerous Goods
