ICAO 9284

Known as the Technical Instructions or the TIs, this manual contains the only legal source of regulations for the safe transport of dangerous goods by air. Shippers, operators, State authorities and anyone else involved in the air transport chain will find in this manual all of the detailed regulations necessary for the safe transport of dangerous goods by air.

Dangerous goods can be carried safely by air transport providing certain principles are adopted. These principles have been used in developing these Technical Instructions and are intended to facilitate transport while giving a level of safety such that dangerous goods can be carried without placing an aircraft or its occupants at risk, providing all the requirements are fulfilled. They try to ensure that should an incident occur it cannot lead to an accident.

In general, dangerous goods are divided into various classes or divisions according to the hazard they present. A detailed list of individual commodities indicates the class or division into which each commodity falls as well as its acceptability for transport by air and under what conditions. Since such a list cannot be exhaustive, it also includes various generic or "not otherwise specified" entries to assist in the transport of those commodities not specifically listed by name.

This edition of the Technical Instructions is required to be used for operations from 1 January 2015 and will remain valid until 31 December 2016 or until such later time as a new edition becomes valid.

Includes Addendum 1, Corrigendum 1 and Addendum 2/Corrigendum 2
