In international air hazmat shipments, which document may apply in addition to the IATA DGR?

• A. OSHA Hazard Communication Standard
• B. NFPA 704
• C. EPA Hazardous Waste manifest
• D. ICAO Technical Instructions

Answer: (D)

ICAO Technical Instructions provide the international baseline for transporting dangerous goods by air. The IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations are designed to harmonize with those instructions, offering practical, carrier- and shipper-facing rules to implement the TI. In international air hazmat shipments, you may rely on both: the ICAO Technical Instructions as the governing standard, with the IATA DGR complementing it for day-to-day handling, packaging, labeling, and documentation. The other options aren’t designed as international air shipping documents: OSHA Hazard Communication is a US workplace rule, NFPA 704 is a on-site hazard labeling system, and EPA Hazardous Waste manifest applies to hazardous waste shipments (often domestically).
