ICAO Annex 18

International Standards and Recommended Practices for the safe transport of dangerous goods by air; the associated Technical Instructions (Doc 9284) contain the detailed binding requirements that operators and shippers must follow.

RBAC 175

Brazilian civil aviation regulation issued by ANAC that implements ICAO Annex 18 and governs the air transport of dangerous goods, including shipper and operator responsibilities and training obligations.

Shipper responsibility

The shipper is legally responsible for correct classification, packing, marking, labelling and documentation of the consignment before it is offered to the operator for carriage.

Pilot-in-command information

Written information on dangerous goods carried, including the nature, quantity, location on the aircraft and, for radioactive material, the transport index, must be given to the pilot-in-command before departure.

Class 3 flash point

A liquid with a flash point at or below 60 degrees Celsius in a closed cup test is a class 3 flammable liquid; packing group is then assigned from flash point and initial boiling point.

Packing group meaning

Packing groups I, II and III express degree of danger for certain classes: I great danger, II medium danger, III minor danger. Not all classes are assigned a packing group.

Proper shipping name

The name listed in the Dangerous Goods List for a UN number; it must be used exactly as listed on documents and markings and must not be replaced by a trade name.

Special provision

A numbered code attached to a Dangerous Goods List entry that modifies or adds to the general requirements, for example restricting carriage on passenger aircraft or requiring additional documentation.

Packing instruction

A numbered code in the Dangerous Goods List specifying the permitted packagings, their limits and, where relevant, the maximum quantity per package for the entry.

UN specification packaging

A packaging type tested and marked with the UN symbol, packaging code, packing group, year of manufacture and manufacturer, required where the packing instruction demands it.

Cargo Aircraft Only label

A handling label required when the quantity of dangerous goods exceeds the passenger aircraft limit; the package may then be loaded only on cargo aircraft.

Orientation label

A label with two arrows indicating the upright orientation of a package containing liquids; the package must be stored and loaded in the orientation shown.

Shipper's Declaration

A signed document stating the UN number, proper shipping name, class, packing group, quantity, packaging type and certification that the shipment is properly classified, packed, marked and labelled.

Acceptance checklist

A step-by-step verification by the operator of the declaration, package, markings, labels and quantity limits; each item is checked and the completed checklist is retained.

NOTOC

Notification to the pilot-in-command listing the dangerous goods on board, their location and any special handling requirements; it must be completed before departure.

Segregation requirement

Dangerous goods must be separated from passengers, crew, mail, animals and foodstuffs as required, and incompatible goods must be kept apart during loading and stowage.

Explosives compatibility groups

Class 1 is divided into compatibility groups A to N and S; certain combinations are forbidden and the loading must be recorded on the NOTOC.

Securing cargo

Packages must be secured against movement during flight, loaded in the orientation shown by the arrows, and kept clear of emergency equipment and escape routes.

Emergency response plan

The operator must have an emergency response plan for dangerous goods it carries and provide the pilot-in-command with the relevant emergency response information and drill codes.

Incident reporting

A leak, spill, fire or damaged package involving dangerous goods must be reported to the operator and, where required, to the competent authority using the prescribed report form.

Drill code

A code in the ICAO Emergency Response Guidance (Doc 9481) that identifies the actions to take for a specific dangerous goods emergency on board an aircraft.

Training before duty

Personnel must be trained in the requirements relevant to their duties before performing any dangerous goods function, and training must be recurrent at the interval set by the regulations.

Training record content

Each training record must show the employee's name, the training received, the date and the name of the trainer or training organisation, and must be retained for the required period.

Quality assurance programme

A documented programme of audits, inspections and corrective action covering acceptance, handling, loading and documentation, reviewed periodically and reported to management.

Record retention

Declarations, acceptance checklists, NOTOCs, training records and incident reports must be kept for the periods set by the regulations and made available to the authority on request.

Competency-based training

Training designed around the tasks the employee performs, with defined competencies and assessment of performance, not merely attendance at a course.

Refresher training

Recurrent training completed before the due date, updated when the regulations change, so that personnel remain competent and current in dangerous goods requirements.

Non-conformity correction

The quality assurance process must identify non-conformities, record corrective actions and verify that those actions are effective in preventing recurrence.

Electronic records

Electronic training and quality records are acceptable where they are legible, identifiable, retrievable and protected against alteration, and can be produced on request.

Audit scope

Quality audits must cover acceptance, handling, loading and documentation processes, and their results must be used to improve procedures and ensure continued compliance.

Untrained personnel

Personnel who have not completed the required training must not perform dangerous goods functions; the operator must verify training status before assigning such duties.

Management review

The results of audits and inspections must be reported to management and used to improve procedures, closing the quality assurance loop.
