IATA 55^th DGR First Addendum

DGR 55th-Addendum 1-DEC 2013.pdf

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) published an addendum to the Dangerous Goods Regulations 55^th edition (2014 DGR) on 23 December 2013. These miscellaneous amendments are effective 01 January 2014. One example of the changes includes Federal Express (FedEx) removing operator variations FX-12 completely and removing the exceptions in FX-18. This will require all FedEx Express® shipper’s declarations (including radioactive class 7 material by air) prepared after 01 May 2014 using approved software with dangerous goods compliance edit checks. Therefore, the shipper declaration “templates” (in PDF or MS Word) will no longer be accepted. A list of approved dangerous goods shipping application vendors is available by calling FedEx and asking for “Dangerous Goods” or you may use FedEx’s free Ship Manager Software.
