    Dangerous Goods Classification

    Dangerous Goods are defined as goods that meet the criteria of one or more of 9 UN Hazards Classes, and whether they are applicable to one of 3 UN Packing Groups according to the provisions of the Dangerous Goods Regulations Section III. In addition, substances are assigned to the relevant packing group according to the degree of danger that they may present.

    The 9 UN Hazard Classes have been arranged, numbered by the type of hazard involved. The order in which the Classes are shown does not imply a relative degree of danger or the precedence of the hazard involved.

    • Packing group I: Substances presenting high danger
    • Packing group II: Substances presenting medium danger
    • Packing group III: Substances presenting low danger.

    The Australian Dangerous Goods Code provides more information about the classifications and divisions of dangerous goods, and if they are assigned to a packing group.
