Basis of IATA Regulations for Applicability

Basis of the Regulations​

• UN Subcommittee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods  (SCoETDG)– develops recommended procedures for the transport of all  types of dangerous goods other than radioactive materials.​
• ​
• International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)– develops recommended  procedures for the safe transport of radioactive materials.​
• International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)– uses the SCoETDG  recommendations as the basis for developing the regulations for the safe  transport of dangerous goods by air, which they then publish in their  Technical Instructions for the Safe Transportation of Dangerous Goods by  Air (Technical Instructions).​
• International Air Transport Association (IATA) Dangerous Goods  Regulations contain all the Technical Instructions requirements plus  additional more restrictive requirements that reflect industry standard  practices.​
