Marking

The shipper is responsible for all aspects of the packaging of dangerous goods in compliance with the ICAO Technical Instruction for Safe Transport of Dangerous  Goods by Air (Doc 9284).

1. The shipper is responsible for all necessary marking and labelling of each package of dangerous goods, and each overpack containing dangerous goods, in compliance with ICAO Technical Instruction for the Safe of Transport Dangerous Goods. Each package must be of such a size that there is adequate space to affix all required markings and labels.

a. There are two types of marking:

i. Markings which identify the use of a particular packaging for a particular shipment. Every package of dangerous goods must be marked with the proper shipping name, the UN or ID number, and the full name and address of the shipper and consignee.

ii. Markings which identify the design or specification of a packaging, when UN specification packaging is used.

b. Packaging specification markings are not required for Limited Quantity packaging. All markings must be placed on the packages or overpacks in a way that they are not covered or obscured by any part of or attachment to the packaging or any other label or marking. The required markings must not be located with other package markings that could substantially reduce their effectiveness. All markings must be:

i. durable and printed or otherwise marked on, or affixed to, the external surface of the package or overpack;

ii. readily visible and legible;

iii. able to withstand open weather exposure without a substantial reduction in effectiveness; and

iv. displayed on a background of contrasting colour.

c. MAA shall ensure that English is used in addition to the local language (which may be required by the State of Origin) for marking and detailing transport documents related to the shipment of dangerous goods.

Marking for Overpacks

Package specification marking must not be reproduced on the overpack as the word “overpack” indicates that the package contained within complies with the prescribed specification. When packages containing dangerous in limited quantities are placed in an overpack, the outside must also be marked with the limited quantity marking shown below. (unless the limited quantity marking on the package/packages are clearly visible).

Salvage Packaging Marking

1. Before a person offers any salvage packaging for transport by air, they must ensure it is marked with the word “SALVAGE”.

2. Note: Salvage Packaging will not be accepted on MAA aircraft.

Empty Packaging Marking

1. Other than class 7, packaging which previously contained dangerous goods must be marked as required for those dangerous goods — unless steps such as cleaning, purging vapours or refilling with non-dangerous goods are taken to nullify the hazard.

2. Before an empty packaging which had previously contained an infectious substance is returned to the shipper (or sent elsewhere) it must be thoroughly disinfected or sterilized. Any marking indicating that it contained an infectious substance must be removed or obliterated.

All packed in one outer package

When two or more dangerous goods are packed within the same outer packaging, the package must be marked as required for each substance.

Package Orientation

When a “Package Orientation” (This Way Up) label is affixed to a package or overpack, the words “THIS END UP” may be marked on the top of the package or overpack.

Environmentally Hazardous Substances Marking

1. Packages containing environmentally hazardous substances or mixtures meeting the criteria of UN3077 and UN2082 must be durably marked with the environmentally hazardous marking.

2. The environmentally hazardous substance mark is not required on single packaging and combination packaging when such single or inner packaging of such combination packaging has:

a. A net quantity of 5L or less for liquids; or

b. A net quantity of 5 kg or less for solids

3. The environmentally hazardous substance mark must be adjacent to the marking required.

4. All packages containing environmentally hazardous substances (UN3077 and UN3082) must bear a Class 9 hazard label.

Labelling

The responsibilities of shippers include:

1. Removing or obliterating any irrelevant labelling already on the package;

2. Only using labels with durable quality and correct specification;

3. Inscribing any required additional information on each label in a durable manner; and

4. Affixing the appropriate label(s) in the correct location(s) and in a secure manner.

Durability

The material, printing and any related adhesives of every label must be sufficiently durable to withstand normal transport conditions (including open weather exposure) without a substantial reduction in effectiveness.

Types of Labels

The two types of labels are:

1. Hazard labels, which are required for most dangerous goods in all classes; 

2. Handling labels, which are required for some dangerous goods (either alone or in addition to hazard labels).

Multiple Hazards and Labelling 

1. Some substances exhibit more than one hazard. These hazards will be classified as primary hazards and subsidiary hazards. When there is more than one hazard, the subsidiary risk(s) label(s) must be shown in addition.

Affixing of Labels

1. All labels must be securely affixed or printed on the packaging so that they are readily visible and legible and not obscured by any part of or attachment to the packaging, or by any other label or mark.

2. Each label must be affixed or printed on a background of contrasting colour, or must have a dotted or solid liner outer boundary.

3. Labels must not be folded or affixed in such a manner that parts of the same label appear on different faces of the package.

4. If the package is of such an irregular shape that a label cannot be attached or printed on a surface, it is acceptable to attach the labels to the package by means of a strong tag. The package must be such a size that there is adequate space to affix all required labels.

Cargo Aircraft Only Label

1. When a “Cargo Aircraft Only” (CAO) label is required, it must be affixed on the same surface of the package near the hazard label.

2. For routes that are operated by our freighter, "Cargo Aircraft Only" dangerous goods can be accepted.

Orientation Label

When package orientation “This Way Up” labels are used, the labels are to be affixed on two opposite sides of the package, with arrows pointing in the upright position.

Overpack

Labels required on packages within an overpack must be clearly visible or else be reproduced on the outside of the overpack. Only one hazard label is required for each class of division contained within the package.
