Transport classification product

DG / Non-DG classification support for a product entering shipment review.

A courier or freight partner may ask whether a product should be handled as dangerous goods. The answer depends on the product composition, physical properties, packaging and mode of transport. This service reviews the available evidence and prepares the agreed classification support document.

Assessment areas

What affects a DG or Non-DG classification assessment?

The same commercial product can face different documentation questions depending on formulation, package size, battery content and transport mode.

01

Composition and hazards

Ingredients, concentration ranges and known physical or health hazards relevant to classification.

02

Physical properties

State, flash point, pH, pressure, corrosivity, reactivity and other properties where applicable.

03

Product form and packaging

Liquid, solid, aerosol, battery, inner packaging, quantity and complete shipment configuration.

04

Transport mode

Air, sea and road frameworks can use different provisions, exceptions and documentation.

05

Existing SDS and test data

Section 14 information, technical reports and laboratory values supporting the assessment.

06

Carrier request

The exact wording, checklist or portal field requested by the courier or freight partner.

Scope boundaries

Clear inputs, clear output and no unsupported claims.

The assessment confirms what can be completed from the available evidence and what requires separate testing or confirmation.

What may be included in the service

  • Review of available SDS and product data
  • Identification of missing classification evidence
  • Mode-specific documentation assessment
  • DG / Non-DG supporting statement within scope
  • Recommendations for additional testing where needed
  • Document-gap note for the shipper or client team

Important classification limits

  • A Non-DG statement cannot be based on guesswork
  • The shipper remains responsible for correct declaration
  • The carrier can request further documents or testing
  • A document does not replace compliant packaging or labelling
  • One transport mode’s conclusion may not answer another mode
  • Acceptance by courier, airline or customs is not guaranteed
Dangerous-goods classification is a shipper responsibility and must be supported by correct product information. The final handling decision remains with the shipper, carrier and other parties applying the relevant transport rules.
