Class 1.1:
Mass and Sudden Exploding
Contains explosives that can cause a mass explosion. It affects almost all loads in the event of an explosion.
Class 1.2:
Those that Throw a Piece but Do Not Explode in Mass
Contains explosives that can cause a mass explosion. It affects almost all loads in the event of an explosion.
Class 1.3:
Flaming Explosives
Contains explosives that can cause a mass explosion. It affects almost all loads in the event of an explosion.
Class 1.4:
Low Damage Explosives
Contains explosives that can cause a mass explosion. It affects almost all loads in the event of an explosion.
Class 1.5:
Difficult to Explode but Can Explode Massively
Contains explosives that can cause a mass explosion. It affects almost all loads in the event of an explosion.
Class 1.6:
Difficult to Explode and Not Danger of Mass Explosion
Contains explosives that can cause a mass explosion. It affects almost all loads in the event of an explosion.
Class 2 :Gases
Class 2.1:
Flammable Gases
They are substances that weigh 454 kg and are gaseous at 20 ° C. The pressures of these substances are 101.3 kPa and their boiling point under this pressure is 20 ° C or less. At 101.3 kPa pressure and air mixtures are flammable below 13%. Or, regardless of the lower limit, they are flammable at a minimum of 12% air mixture and 101.3 kPa pressure.
Class 2.2:
Flammable and Non-Toxic Gases
This class includes pressurized gases, liquefied gases, pressurized cryogenic gases, compressed gases in a solution and oxidizing gases. Flammable and non-toxic gases are gases not included in 2.1 and 2.3 classes with a pressure content of 280 kPa (40.6 psia) at 20 ° C (68 ° F).
Class 2.3:
Toxic Gases
Toxic gases known to be harmful to human health and pose a health hazard during transportation at temperatures of 20 ° C and below, at a pressure of 101.3 kPa (boiling points under this pressure are 20 ° C or below). Substances with an LC50 value above 5000 ml / m3.
Class 3 :Flammable Liquids
Class 3.1:
Flammable Liquids
Flammable liquids are substances with a flash point of not more than 60.5 ° C (141 ° F), or in liquid form and kept heated for transport and with a flash point of 37.8 ° C (100 ° F) and above.
Class 4 :Flammable Solids
Class 4.1:
Flammable Solids
Solids flammable as is. These substances can be ignited by friction and their combustion rate is greater than 2.2 mm per second. Flammable metal powders, all of which react in 10 minutes or less, are also included in this class.
Class 4.2:
Kendiliğinden Yanabilen Katılar
Self-igniting substances are pyrophoric substances. These are substances that ignite within the fifth minute of contact with air or heat up without the need for an additional energy source when in contact with air.
Class 4.3:
Dangers When Contact With Water
These substances are substances that, in contact with water, emit flammable or toxic substances. The danger measure is to extract more than 1 Liter of gas per hour for 1 kg of substance.
Class 5 : Oxidizing Agents and Organic Peroxides
Class 5.1:
Oxidizing Agents
These are substances that allow or accelerate the combustion of other substances by releasing oxygen into such substances.
Class 5.2:
Organic Peroxides
Organic peroxides (Class 5.2) are substances that contain oxygen in the O-O state. These can be thought of as a derivative of hydrogen peroxide, produced by replacing one or more hydrogen atoms in water with organic radicals.
Class 6: Toxic and Infectious Substances
Class 6.1:
Toxic Substances
Substances that can cause harm to humans during transport are classified as toxic substances. In addition, substances that are determined to be toxic in animal tests are considered dangerous for humans and are included in this category.
Class 6.2:
Microbe Contaminants
Substances containing infectious diseases are substances known or suspected to carry a pathogen. Pathogens are micro-organisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi, etc.) or other factors that cause disease in animals or humans.
Class 7: Radioactive Substances
Class 7.1:
Radioactive
Yellow RADIOACTIVE III Substances bearing the (LSA-III) label. Although this label is not used on some radioactive materials, they must have a poster showing the radioactivity.
Class 8: Corrosive Materials
Class 8.1:
Corrosive
They are substances that have a corrosive, thickness-reducing effect on human skin in contact with a certain period of time. Substances that have an abrasive effect on steel and aluminum also fall into this class.
Class 9: Other Dangerous Goods
Class 9.1:
Other Dangerous Goods
Anesthetic or other harmful substances. These are substances that may disturb the flight crew or crew members to a degree that prevents them from performing their duties.
