Governing Regulations
The U.S. Department of Transportation and international regulatory agencies govern the handling and transport of the nine classes of dangerous goods. Shipping oxidizing substances and organic peroxides by air is controlled by the IATA Class 5 Dangerous Goods Regulations. This online certification course satisfies all air carrier requirements for proof of IATA Class 5 training, including FedEx and UPS.
If you are also shipping other classes of dangerous goods you must take our full IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations training course in place of this one.
If you do not have a copy, you should consider purchasing the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR) Manual both for reference purposes in your day to day shipping operations, and while taking this course. Specific guides are also available for Battery Shipping Regulations and other topics.
