2.6. Packing
The order in which classes and divisions are numbered does not imply a relative degree of danger. The element that gives an indication on the degree of hazard substances present is the packing group:
. Packing group I . great danger
. Packing group II . medium danger
. Packing group III . minor danger
Criteria for packing groups have only been developed for some classes and divisions. When a given substance presents more than one hazard, the most stringent class and packing group must be applied to this substance; the least stringent hazard is called the subsidiary hazard. A table provided in the 3rd section of the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations helps in determining which one of the two hazards must be regarded as the primary hazard.
Example:
PACKING GROUP
A 4.2 II
B 5.1 III
C 5.1 I
. A + B → 4.2, II - Subsidiary risk: 5.1
. A + C → 5.1, I - Subsidiary risk: 4.2
Therefore, before packing any dangerous good, the shipper must: . Identify correctly and fully all dangerous articles and substances before
transportation . Classify each item by determining its class or division and its subsidiary hazard . When it is possible, assign each item to one of the three packing groups
The shipper is responsible for all aspects of the packing of dangerous goods in compliance with the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations.
