Dangerous Goods
For ease of identification of dangerous goods, the international community has created a classification system. All dangerous goods are included in one of the nine primary classes. In some cases it has also been necessary to sub-divide some of the classes into divisions in order to adequately provide for the nature of the properties of the individual goods.
Adelantex can handle and ship dangerous goods and provide all necessary documents and comply with the regulations.
There is a label for each class/division to categorize the nature of the hazard. These labels must be affixed to the outside of the package when it is offered for transport and must remain on the package while it is in transit. Examples of these are illustrated below:
Class 1 Explosives
Class 2 Gases
Class 3 Flammable liquids
Class 4 Flammable solids
Class 5.1 Oxidising substances
Class 5.2 Organic peroxides
Class 6.1 Toxic substances
Class 6.2 Infectious substances
Class 7 Radioactive material
Class 8 Corrosives
Class 9 Miscellaneous
