Know the hazard.
Prepare the shipment.

Explore nine IMCO / IMDG classes with cargo examples and labels. Find official SDS / MSDS reference downloads by product name, CAS or UN number.

IMDG · IMCO · DANGEROUS GOODS

Nine classes. A shared language of safety.

Often called “IMCO cargo” in shipping, packaged dangerous goods at sea are covered by the IMDG Code. Start with the class, then check the exact cargo entry.

IMDG 2024 · Amendment 42-24 · mandatory from 1 January 2026

BEYOND THE CLASS LABEL

Additional marks you may see

These communicate extra requirements. They are not additional classes.

Marine pollutant

Fish-and-tree mark. An additional environmental marking, not a tenth hazard class.

Battery mark

Rectangular mark with the applicable UN number(s), for shipments meeting the relevant provisions. It is different from label 9A.

Limited quantity — LQ

Sea-transport limited-quantity mark. Eligibility and package limits depend on the specific entry; small cargo is not automatically exempt.

Excepted quantity — EQ

A separate small-quantity regime with its own limits and conditions; not the same as LQ.

Package orientation

Upright arrows where required. These do not replace hazard labels.

Elevated temperature

Additional marking for qualifying elevated-temperature cargo.

OVERPACK identification, fumigation warnings and cooling-agent/asphyxiation warnings may also apply. Confirm marks for the actual package, container and journey.

READ THE CARGO DETAILS

Class is only the beginning.

A class number describes the kind of hazard. It does not identify a product, assign a packing group or confirm that two cargoes can travel together.

UN number
A four-digit transport identifier. Use the confirmed entry, not a guessed number based on the trade name.
Proper Shipping Name · PSN
The prescribed transport name; a commercial name may be different. A technical name may also be required.
Primary + subsidiary hazards
A substance can need more than one hazard label. Both affect shipment planning.
Packing Group · PG
Where assigned: I = high danger, II = medium, III = low. Not every class or article has a packing group.
Label vs placard
Package labels and container placards have different application and size requirements. Do not enlarge a specimen and assume it is compliant.
Segregation & acceptance
Review the exact UN entry, subsidiary hazards and special provisions with trained staff and the carrier.
BATTERY CARGO

Tell us which battery, and how it travels.

Specify chemistry, standalone / packed with equipment / contained in equipment, capacity and condition. Provide the applicable test summary and supporting documents. Damaged, defective, waste or prototype batteries need separate review. Amendment 42-24 also introduces sodium-ion and battery-powered vehicle entries.

BEFORE YOU REQUEST A BOOKING

Prepare a clearer DG enquiry.

Tick the information you have ready. Your checks remain in this tab only.

0 / 8items reviewed

A preparation checklist, not a Dangerous Goods Declaration or an acceptance certificate. Final classification and documents must be confirmed by the shipper and trained personnel; transport is subject to carrier and route approval.

A few useful distinctions

What is the difference between SDS and MSDS?

MSDS is the older name. SDS is the standardized safety data sheet format, usually organized in 16 sections. Request the current document for the exact product and supplier.

How do I find an acetone or ethanol SDS?

Search the library by Persian or English name, CAS, UN or product code. Compare the manufacturer, grade, concentration and document date before using a reference file for a shipment.

Is a battery AIS/SDS the UN 38.3 test summary?

No. The article or safety information sheet and applicable battery test summary serve different purposes. Obtain the documents for the exact battery model; this library does not provide a universal battery certificate.

Is IMCO a separate classification?

IMCO is common commercial shorthand. For packaged dangerous goods by sea, refer to the current IMDG Code and the specific cargo entry.

Does an SDS replace a DG Declaration?

No. The SDS helps review product and transport hazards; it does not replace the required shipment-specific declaration or packing certificate.

Are red-bordered GHS diamonds the transport labels?

No. GHS chemical-supply pictograms and transport labels have distinct purposes. Use the transport labels and marks required for the consignment.

Can the load planner decide DG compatibility?

No. Our CBM and load planner tools estimate space and weight. They do not check IMDG segregation, stowage or acceptance.
