Airlines, freight forwarders and shippers can now gain faster access to the latest regulations and information for the carriage of dangerous goods by air with the launch of ‘DG Online’ by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), and Official Airline Guide Cargo, a division of UBM Aviation (OAG Cargo).
DG Online combines the industry’s leading publications in an online format: The IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations Manual (DGR), the ICAO Technical Instructions (TI), and the ICAO Emergency Response Guidance manual (ERG).
Professionals involved in the safe transport of dangerous goods by air reference the standards on a routine basis. DG Online provides quick and easy access to these standards. The product features rapid referencing of all standards, advanced search functions by substance, subject/classification or by United Nations (UN) code, upcoming multi-language support, access to IATA Airline variations and ICAO State variations, and real-time updating of the latest revisions of standards directly from IATA and/or ICAO. Users can store favorites and create and print customized checklists to ensure packing and regulatory compliance and for the acceptance of shipments containing dangerous goods.
