IATA Class 7 Documentation

The shipper is responsible for providing the appropriate information to the operator. The shipper must do the following for each shipment containing radioactive material:

• Use only the correct form in the correct manner.
• Ensure the information on the form is accurate, easy to identify, legible, and durable.
• Ensure that the form is properly signed when the shipment is presented to the operator.
• Ensure that the shipment has been prepared in accordance with these Regulations.

The shipper must also retain a copy of the Shipper's Declaration and any additional documentation for a minimum of three months.

In addition to the Documentation regulations described in Section 8 for the Shipper's Declaration, radioactive material must be specified in the Shipment Type. Radioactive material must not be listed on the same declaration form as other dangerous goods, except for dry ice when it is used as a refrigerant.
