2021 IATA DGR 62nd Edition Addendums
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR) 62nd 2021 Edition has two (2) Addendums now available for download and both are effective January 01, 2021. IATA is asking all users of the IATA DGR to note all the amendments and corrections contained in both addendums to the 62nd Edition. Some noteworthy revisions include: - Federal Express (FedEx) revised its operator variation “FX-03” by removing specific UN Identification Numbers: “(a) The following UN numbers are prohibited when the contents include Plutonium 239 (PU 239) or Plutonium 241 (PU 241): UN 3324, UN 3325, UN 3326, UN 3327, UN 3329, UN 3330, UN 3331 or UN 3333.” and now stating that “All UN numbers containing Plutonium 239 and Plutonium 241 fissile materials are prohibited for transport.” - FedEx changed “FX-10” from “Not used.” to “Shipments containing accessible dangerous goods (ADG) and inaccessible dangerous goods (IDG) that are dropped off at staffed FedEx U.S. locations must be processed using a FedEx or third-party automation system, not paper airbills or air waybills.” This is consistent with FedEx’s move to a complete digital format for shipping orders. This is also seen in “FX-18” where FedEx removed “(not paper airbills or air waybills)” from their requirement for all Dangerous Goods (DG) Shipper’s Declarations originating in the US must be prepared using software with dangerous goods compliance edit checks. - In Appendix D, the US Enforcement Branch (FAA), the US Competent Authority (PHMSA), and the US NRC’s contact information has been revised.
