How to Use This Table
Hover or tap an element to see its typical IATA hazard class, the associated UN number, and a short note on how its physical form affects classification. Highlighted elements are ones that commonly ship in a regulated form - unhighlighted elements are not usually dangerous goods in their common commercial state, though exceptions exist depending on concentration and quantity. If your shipment contains a highlighted element, or you're not sure which form you're shipping in, treat it as a signal to confirm classification before you book cargo space, not as a final answer on its own.
Reference only. Classifications shown represent the primary IATA hazard class for the most common commercial form of each element. Physical state changes classification - the same element can fall under different DG classes depending on whether it is a bulk solid, fine powder, liquid, gas, or molten form (e.g., titanium sheets are not DG, but titanium dry powder is Class 4.2). Actual classification also depends on concentration, mixture, quantity, and exemption thresholds. Always consult the current edition of the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR) and Transport Canada TDG Regulations before shipping. Contact AÉRO-DG Solutions for compliance guidance.
