other personal protection requirements with the medical service. The aircraft operator ensures

12 AFMAN24-604 9 October 2020

appropriate equipment is available to protect aircrew and passengers when transporting

materials whose vapors are toxic, irritating or corrosive. Aircraft must have a closed oxygen

system or protective mask for each person aboard. (T-0). The shipper provides any required

special equipment to meet unique cargo safety requirements. (T-0). It is the shipper's

responsibility to consult subject matter experts (SME), and the SME will, based on intimate

knowledge of the material, determine necessary required protective equipment. (T-0). While

the exact equipment required depends on the materials being transported, the following are the

recommended minimum (or equivalent substitutions):

1.9.1. Two pairs of rubber gloves.

1.9.2. One pair of protective gloves.

1.9.3. One plastic or rubber apron.

1.9.4. A five-pound (2.3 kg) package of incombustible absorbent material.

1.10.2. Freight containers (e.g., Internal airlift and helicopter Slingable Unit (ISU), Container

Express (CONEX), Military-Owned Demountable Container (MILVAN), etc.) are not

considered the outer package or overpack for any item stowed inside. Items within freight

containers must be packaged as prescribed in this manual. (T-0). Since air movement

subjects cargo to rapid acceleration and deceleration, ensure the contents of freight containers

are adequately secured/restrained to prevent damage or breakage from shifting. Consider

both horizontal and vertical movement when securing/restraining the contents.

1.10.3. Mark and label individual packages within overpacks and freight containers according

A17.2.3.2.

1.11. Accessibility. Do not ship hazardous material in freight containers that are not easily

accessible to the aircrew during flight. Physically stow hazardous materials next to the container

opening and position to allow access while on the aircraft. The aircrew must have visual and

physical access to all hazardous materials to mitigate any hazard posed by an in-flight incident.

(T-0). If there is evidence of a leak, the crew-member can locate the hazard, determine the

extent of the risk, and take appropriate action to get the leak under control or declare an in-flight

emergency. Ensure air transportation personnel performing the joint inspection have knowledge

and access to transportation containers containing hazardous materials during the joint

inspection process. Provide a key or combination for locked, unescorted containers to the

aircraft commander or designated representative. Ship only the following hazardous materials

in inaccessible containers or tactical shelters when properly secured:

mobility bag), and accompany the individual at all times. Ensure first aid kit components

remain within individual kit carriers or pouches.

3.5.1.5. Prepare all hazardous material, other than small arms ammunition, CBRNE

equipment, and first aid kits for shipment according to this manual, consolidate in one

central location on the aircraft as directed by the loadmaster, and distribute to personnel

before landing.

3.5.1.6. Lithium batteries installed in electronic equipment battery box or compartment

require no additional packaging. Individuals may hand carry (pockets, rucksack,

backpacks, etc.) the minimum number of spare lithium batteries required to sustain the

immediate operation (as determined by the troop commander). Pack hand carried lithium

batteries in original wrapping or in nonconductive material to prevent external short-

circuiting. Prepare equipment containing lithium batteries, not considered individual issue

or basic combat, according to A13.7., A13.8., or A13.9.

24 AFMAN24-604 9 October 2020

3.5.1.7. The troop commander or team chief briefs the aircraft commander or designated

representative (e.g., loadmaster) on the location of all hazardous materials.

3.5.1.8. Provisions of this paragraph may be used during exercises when identified in the

exercise operations plan. Except for small arms ammunition, CBRNE equipment, and first

aid kits, do not ship items unpackaged unless there is intent to use explosives and other

hazardous materials upon exiting the aircraft or as part of an airdrop exercise. Use and

employment of unpackaged or hand carried explosives and other hazardous materials will

be included in the exercise operations plan. (T-0).

3.5.1.9. See Attachment 23 for use of contract air carriers operating under DOT-SP 9232.

3.5.1.10. A Shipper's Declaration for Dangerous Goods is not required.

3.5.2. Personnel not immediately engaging the enemy force when deplaning, but assuming a

tactical mission on arrival or re-deploying upon mission completion, may deploy with their

basic load or individual issue of hazardous materials in accordance with paragraph 3.5.1.

However, the troop commander ensures collection of these items, including small arms

ammunition, before the anti-hijack briefing. On arrival at the aircraft, the troop commander

briefs the loadmaster on the hazardous materials and assist the loadmaster, as directed, in the

tie-down before departing. Redistribute the hazardous materials on arrival at destination. If

required, apply these provisions to redeployment of troops upon mission completion. A

Shipper's Declaration for Dangerous Goods is not required.

3.6. Passenger Eligibility. Participants in tactical, contingency, emergency, or deployment

operations, including exercises, transported on military organic aircraft according to this

chapter are not considered passengers for purposes of this manual. If passenger seats are

released to nonparticipants, the cargo must not be prepared using a provision authorized under

the authority of this chapter and the requirements of 2.2 apply. (T-0). Refer to Attachment 23

for contract airlift of personnel under DOT-SP 9232.

3.7. Chemically Contaminated Cargo. Decontaminate items to the greatest extent possible in

the theater in which they became contaminated. Destroy reusable wood and fiberboard

containers in the theater in which they became contaminated. Decontaminate reusable shipping

containers other than wood and fiberboard (drums, etc.) before reusing. Double wrap palletized

cargo that is susceptible to exposure to contamination. Remove the outside wrap if exposed to

contamination (the inner wrap should protect the cargo). Destroy the contaminated outside wrap

in the theater in which it became contaminated. Evaluate contaminated cargo to determine the

appropriate hazard classification so that the cargo may be packaged, marked, labeled,

documented, and shipped consistent with the hazard. If this is not able to be done, then do not

accept the chemically contaminated cargo for shipment on military aircraft.

Terms

A1—The maximum activity of special form radioactive material permitted in a type A package.

A2—The maximum activity of radioactive material, other than special form, low specific

activity radioactive material, and surface contaminated objects permitted in a type A package.

These values are either listed in A11.4 or may be derived using the procedure in A11.3.

Adsorbed gas- A gas which when packaged for transport is adsorbed onto a solid porous

material resulting in an internal receptacle pressure of less than 101.3 kPa at 20 degrees C and

less than 300 kPa at 50 degrees C.

Activity (Radioactivity)— The number of radioactive atoms that decay per unit time. The unit

of activity is the curie or bequerel. The amount of radioactivity that may be transported in

various types of packages and various types of vehicles.

Aerial Port of Debarkation (APOD)— Any airfield location where hazardous materials are

received by military controlled airlift whether by channel, SAAM, airdrop, exercise, or

deployment.

Aerial Port of Embarkation (APOE)— Any airfield location where hazardous materials are

entered into the Defense Transportation System in accordance with DTR 4500.9-R, for

movement by military controlled airlift whether by channel, SAAM, airdrop, exercise, or

deployment.

Aerosol—Any non-refillable receptacle containing a gas compressed, liquefied, or dissolved

under pressure, the sole purpose of which is to expel a nonpoisonous (other than a division 6.1

packing group III material) liquid, paste, or powder and fitted with a self-closing release device

allowing the contents to be ejected as solid or liquid particles in suspension in a gas, as a foam,

paste, or powder, or in a liquid or gaseous state.

Accessorial hazard—A distinct and separate hazardous item that is a component or integral

part of a larger item that is considered the primary hazard.

Article—A manufactured item, containing a hazardous material or substance, in a specific

shape or design which end use is dependent on the shape or design. The shape or design prevents

loss of hazardous contents during normal conditions of transport.

Atmospheric Pressure—Atmospheric pressure is 101.3kPa (14.7 psi).

Bag—A flexible packaging made of paper, plastic film, textiles, woven material or other similar

materials.

Becquerel (Bq)—The unit of measure for the activity of a radioactive material. Because this is

a very small unit of measure (1 Bq = one atomic transformation per second), the standard is the

AFMAN24-604 9 October 2020 33

larger multiple terabecquerel (TBq). One TBq = one trillion Bq. Other multiples may also be

used (MBq, GBq). This unit of measure is used when measuring how radioactive the item is.

Biological Product—A virus, therapeutic serum, toxin, antitoxin, vaccine, blood, blood

component or derivative, allergenic product, or analogous product used in the prevention,

diagnosis, treatment, or cure of diseases in humans or animals. A biological product includes a

material manufactured and distributed in accordance with one of the following provisions:

- Title 9, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 102, Licenses for Biological Products, current

edition; 9 CFR Part 103 (Experimental Products, Distribution, and Evaluation of

Biological Products Prior to Licensing); 9 CFR Part 104, Permits for Biological Products;

- Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 312, Investigational New Drug Application; 21

CFR Part 314 Applications for FDA Approval to Market a New Drug; 21 CFR Parts 600

to 680, Biologics; or 21 CFR Part 812 Investigational Device Exemptions. Unless otherwise

excepted, a biological product known or reasonably expected to contain a pathogen that

meets the definition of a Category A or B infectious substance must be assigned the

identification number UN2814, UN2900, or UN3373, as appropriate. (T-0).

Biological Substances, Category B - An infectious substance not in a form generally capable of

causing permanent disability or life-threatening or fatal disease in otherwise healthy humans or

animals when exposure to it occurs.

Bottle—An inner packaging having a neck of relatively smaller cross section than the body and

an opening capable of holding a closure for retention of the contents.

Box—A packaging with complete rectangular or polygonal faces made of metal, wood, plywood,

reconstituted wood, fiberboard, plastic, or other suitable material.

Bulk Packaging— A packaging, other than a vessel or a barge, including a transport vehicle or

freight container, in which hazardous materials are loaded with no intermediate form of

containment. A Large Packaging in which hazardous materials are loaded with an intermediate

form of containment, such as one or more articles or inner packagings, is also a bulk packaging.

Additionally, a bulk packaging has: a maximum capacity greater than 450 L (119 gallons) as a

receptacle for a liquid; a maximum net mass greater than 400 kg (882 pounds) and a maximum

capacity greater than 450 L (119 gallons) as a receptacle for a solid; or a water capacity greater

than 454 kg (1000 pounds) as a receptacle for a gas as defined in 49 CFR Section 173.115.

Channel Airlift—Common user airlift service provided on a scheduled basis between two points.

Class 1 (Explosives)—Any substance or article (including a device) which is designed to function

by explosion (e.g., an extremely rapid release of gas and heat). Unless the substance or article is

otherwise classed in Table A4.1., the term "explosive" may also refer to an item that is able to

produce a chemical reaction within itself and is able to function in a similar manner even if not

designed to function by explosion. Explosives in Class 1 are divided into six divisions as follows:

1. Division 1.1-Consists of explosives that have a mass explosion hazard. A mass explosion is

one which affects almost the entire load instantaneously.

2. Division 1.2-Consists of explosives that have a projection hazard but not a mass explosion

hazard. Additionally, there are three subdivisions (1.2.1, 1.2.2 and 1.2.3). Refer to Defense

Explosive Safety Regulation (DESR) 6055.9 for specific subdivision definitions.

34 AFMAN24-604 9 October 2020

3. Division 1.3-Consists of explosives that have a fire hazard and a minor blast hazard or a

minor projection hazard (or both), but not a mass explosion hazard.

4. Division 1.4-Consists of explosive devices that present a minor explosion hazard. The

explosive effects are largely confined to the package and no projection of fragments of

appreciable size or range is to be expected. An external fire does not cause virtually

instantaneous explosion of almost the entire contents of the package.

5. Division 1.5-Consists of very insensitive explosives. This division is comprised of

substances which have a mass explosion hazard but are so insensitive that there is very little

probability of initiation or of transition from burning to detonation under normal

transportation conditions.

6. Division 1.6-Consists of extremely insensitive articles that do not have a mass explosion

hazard. This division is comprised of articles which contain only extremely insensitive

detonating substances and which demonstrate a negligible probability of accidental initiation

or propagation. The risk from these articles is limited to the explosion of a single article.

Class/Division 2.1 (Flammable Gas)—Any material that is a gas (boiling point) at 20 degrees C

(68 degrees F) or less and has a pressure of 101.3 kPa (14.7 psia), in addition to one of the following

properties:

1. Is ignitable at 101.3 kPa (14.7 psia) when in a mixture of 13 percent or less by volume with

air.

2. Has a flammable range of 101.3 kPa (14.7 psia) with air of at least 12 percent regardless of

the lower limit.

3. The limits specified above is determined at 101.3 kPa (14.7 psia) of pressure and a

temperature of 20 degrees C (68 degrees F) according to ASTM E681-85 Standard Test

Method for Concentration Limits of Flammability of Chemicals.

Class/Division 2.2 (Nonflammable, Nonpoisonous Compressed Gas, Including Compressed

Gas, Liquefied Gas, Pressurized Cryogenic Gas, Compressed Gas in Solution, asphyxiant

gas and oxidizing gas)— Any material (or mixture) which exerts in the packaging a gauge

pressure of 200 kPa (29 psig/43.8 psia) or greater at 20 degrees C (68 degrees F), is a liquefied gas

or is a cryogenic liquid, and does not meet the definition of Division 2.1 or 2.3.

Class/Division 2.3 (Gas Poisonous by Inhalation)—Any material that is a gas (boiling point) at

20 degrees C (68 degrees F) or less and has a pressure of 101.3 kPa (14.7 psia), in addition to one

of the following properties:

1. The material is known to be so toxic to humans as to pose a hazard to health during

transportation.

2. In the absence of adequate data on human toxicity, the material is presumed to be toxic to

humans because when tested it has an LC

50

(inhalation toxicity) value of not more than 5000

parts per million (ppm).

AFMAN24-604 9 October 2020 35

Class 3 (Flammable Liquid)—A flammable liquid is any liquid having a flash point equal to or

below 60 degrees C (140 degrees F), or liquids offered for transportation at temperatures at or

above their flash point, except:

1. Any liquid meeting the definition of a Class 2 material.

2. Any mixture having one or more compounds with a flash point above 60 degrees C (140

degrees F) that makes up at least 99 percent of the total volume of the mixture. Distilled

spirits of 140 proof or lower are considered to have a flash point no lower than 23 degrees C

(73 degrees F).

Class/Division 4.1 (Flammable Solids)—Flammable solids consist of solids (other than those

classed as explosives) which are readily combustible under conditions encountered in transport, or

may cause or contribute to fire through friction.

Class/Division 4.2 (Spontaneously Combustible Material)—Liquids or solids which are prone

to spontaneous heating under normal conditions encountered in transport or to heating in contact

with air, thus being liable to ignite.

Class/Division 4.3 (Dangerous When Wet Material)—Solids that are liable to become

spontaneously flammable or emit flammable or toxic gases when they come into contact with

water.

Class/Division 5.1 (Oxidizers)—A material that may cause or enhance the combustion of other

material, generally by yielding oxygen.

Class/Division 5.2 (Organic Peroxides)—Any organic compound containing oxygen (O) in the

bivalent -O-O- structure, and which may be considered a derivative of hydrogen peroxide where

one or more of the hydrogen atoms have been replaced by organic radicals. Organic peroxides are

thermally unstable substances which may undergo exothermic self-accelerating decomposition.

These substances may be prone to explosive decomposition or rapid burning; be sensitive to impact

or friction; react dangerously with other material; or cause damage to the eyes. A material which

meets this definition is classed in Class 5.2, unless it also meets the definition of a Class 1 material,

or unless the available oxygen content of an organic peroxide formulation is less than the amount

specified (by the percentage equation) in 49 CFR Section 173.128.

1. Type A: An organic peroxide that can detonate or deflagrate rapidly as packaged for transport.

Transportation of type A organic peroxides is forbidden.

2. Type B: An organic peroxide that, as packaged for transport, neither detonates nor

deflagrates rapidly, but can undergo a thermal explosion.

3. Type C: An organic peroxide that, as packaged for transport, neither detonates or deflagrates

rapidly and cannot undergo a thermal explosion.

4. Type D: An organic peroxide which exhibits the following characteristics:

4.1. Detonates only partially, but does not deflagrate rapidly and is not affected by heat when

confined.

4.2. Does not detonate, deflagrates slowly, and shows no violent effect if heated when

confined.

36 AFMAN24-604 9 October 2020

4.3. Does not detonate or deflagrate, and shows a medium effect when heated under

confinement.

5. Type E: An organic peroxide that neither detonates or deflagrates, and shows low or no

effect when heated under confinement.

6. Type F: An organic peroxide that will not detonate in a cavitated state, does not deflagrate,

shows low or no effect if heated when confined, and has low or no explosive power.

7. Type G: An organic peroxide that will not detonate in a cavitated state, will not deflagrate,

shows no effect when heated under confinement, has no explosive power, is thermally stable

(self—accelerating decomposition temperature is 50 degrees C (122 degrees F) or higher for

a 50 kg (110 pounds) package). An organic peroxide meeting all characteristics of type G

except thermal stability and requiring temperature control is classed as a type F, temperature

control organic peroxide.

Class/Division 6.1 (Poisonous/Toxic Material)—A material, other than a gas, which is known to

be so toxic to humans as to afford a hazard to health during transportation, or is presumed to be

toxic to humans because it falls within one of the test categories identified in 49 CFR Section

173.132. The term “toxic” and “poisonous” are used synonymously in this manual.

Class/Division 6.2 (Infectious Substances)—A material known to contain or suspected of

containing a pathogen. A pathogen is a virus or micro-organism (including bacteria viruses,

rickettsiae, parasites, fungi), or other agent such as a proteinaceous infectious particle (prion) that

can cause disease in humans or animals. Division 6.2 materials are assigned to the following

categories:

1. Category A – An infectious substance which is transported in a form that, when exposure to

it occurs, is capable of causing permanent disability, life-threatening or fatal disease in

otherwise healthy humans or animals, and is assigned UN2814 or UN2900, as appropriate.

2. Category B – An infectious substance which does not meet the criteria for inclusion in

Category A, and is assigned UN3373. Formerly known as “diagnostic specimens,” Category

B materials are now described as “Biological Substances, Category B.”

Class 7 (Radioactive Material)—Any material containing radionuclides where both the activity

concentration and the total activity in the consignment exceed the values in Table A.11.1.

Class 8 (Corrosive Material)—A liquid or solid that causes full thickness destruction of human

skin at the site of contact within a specified period of time. A liquid, or a solid which may become

liquid during transportation, that has a severe corrosion rate on steel or aluminum based on the

criteria in 49 CFR Subparagraph 173.137(c)(2) is also a corrosive material. The main hazard from

Class 8 liquids and vapors is the corrosive effect on humans and the aircraft or cargo. Some Class

8 materials have very dangerous additional hazards such as toxicity, flammability, and

explosiveness.

Class 9 Material—A material that may pose an unreasonable risk to health, safety, or property

during transport, but does not meet any of the definitions of the other hazard classes specified in

this manual. This class includes:

AFMAN24-604 9 October 2020 37

1. A material that has an anesthetic, noxious, or other similar property which can cause extreme

annoyance or discomfort to passengers and crew in the event of leakage during transportation,

so as to prevent the correct performance of the crews assigned duties.

2. A material in quantities that meets the definition of a hazardous waste or a hazardous

substance, but does not meet the definition of any other class.

Combination Packaging—A combination of packaging, for transport purposes, consisting of one

or more inner packagings secured in a nonbulk outer packaging. It does not include a composite

packaging.

Combustible Liquid—A combustible liquid is any liquid that does not meet the definition of any

other classification specified in this manual and has a flash point above 60 degrees C (140 degrees

F) and below 93 degrees C (200 degrees F). Any mixture having one or more components with a

flash point of 93 degrees C (200 degrees F) or higher, that makes up at least 99 percent of the total

volume of the mixture is not a combustible liquid.

Compatibility Group Letter—A designated alphabetical letter used to categorize different types

of explosive substances and articles for stowage and segregation.

Complete Round Rigging (CRR)— All items, to include those normally incompatible (e.g.,

GENERAL AND HAZARD CLASS SPECIFIC AIR TRANSPORTATION

REQUIREMENTS

A3.1. General Packaging Requirements. The general requirements of Attachment 3 are in

addition to the specific packaging requirements outlined in Attachment 5 through Attachment

13. Hazardous material packaging must be authorized by this manual, 49 CFR Part 173, ICAO,

or IATA, and meet the requirements outlined in this attachment. (T-0). Comply with specific

requirements contained in a technical directive governing the packaging or preparation of an

item, commodity, or article, when stricter than requirements in this manual.

A3.1.1. United Nations (UN) Performance Specification Packaging. Prepare hazardous

materials in UN specification containers unless exempted by a specific packaging

paragraph in this manual. DOD activities use the DOD POP Program to locate tested and

authorized DOD packaging configurations. If the hazardous material is procured in a

manufacturer’s UN specification container, use that container. Ensure compliance with all

other requirements of this manual, including air-eligibility. If the managing activity has

specified a container SPI, use that UN specification container. For additional information

concerning UN specification packaging or performance test requirements see DLAR

4145.41/AR 700-143/AFI 24-210_IP/NAVSUPINST 4030.55/MCO 4030.40, Packaging

of Hazardous Material. Service Focal Points are unable to waive UN specification

requirements.

A3.1.1.1. Exempt Items. The following materials are exempt from UN performance

specification packaging test requirements. The packaging paragraph from Table A4.1.

specifies required packaging. While UN specification packaging is not required, material

may be subject to package performance tests.

A3.1.1.1.1. Compressed gas cylinders

A3.1.1.1.2. Radioactive material

A3.1.1.1.3. Dry ice

A3.1.1.1.4. Magnetized material

A3.1.1.1.5. Life-saving appliances

A3.1.1.1.6. Mercury contained in manufactured articles

A3.1.1.1.7. Items identified in this manual as requiring "strong outer packaging"

A3.1.1.1.8. Limited and Excepted Quantities.

A3.1.1.1.9. Biological Substances, Category B.

A3.1.2. Transportability. Securely close and construct containers to prevent leakage due to

changes in temperature, humidity, altitude, and damage during transportation and in-transit

handling. Hazardous materials must be packaged/prepared according to one of the following:

DoD Performance Oriented Packaging Program, DOD SPI or an approved service drawing,

technical publication (e.g., technical order/manual), manufacturer’s supplied closing

instructions, UN specification test report, or technical knowledge/training to construct strong

outer packaging when required by this manual. (T-0).

54 AFMAN24-604 9 October 2020

A3.1.2.1. Primary and secondary items and their containers (unit or exterior) must provide

protection without deformation, leakage, or rupture against:

A3.1.2.1.1. Temperature changes (-40 to 65.5 degrees C [-40 to +150 degrees F]).

A3.1.2.1.2. Pressure changes due to altitude changes (sea level to 3.7 km (12,000 feet)).

A3.1.2.1.3. Pressure changes due to explosive decompression from 3.7 to 15.24 km

(12,000 to 50,000 feet). (T-0).

A3.1.2.2. Do not fill a UN specification packaging to a gross mass greater than the

authorized gross mass marked on the packaging.

A3.1.2.3. Provide adequate protection for material susceptible to damage by temperature

extremes during both ground and air operations.

A3.1.3. Compatibility. All containers must be designed and constructed of materials that do

not react with, or are not decomposed by, the material contained therein. (T-0). Plastic

containers or liners must prevent permeation of contents. (T-0). Plastic packaging or

receptacles used for liquid hazardous materials must be capable of withstanding, without

failure, the test specified in 49 CFR Part 173, Appendix B, Procedure for Testing Chemical

Compatibility and Rate of Permeation in Plastic Packagings and Receptacles. (T-0).

A3.1.4. Leak Containment (Liner) General Requirements. Leak containment must be provided

for hazardous liquids when required outer packaging is not liquid-tight. (T-0). This does not

apply to overpacks used only for air shipment consolidation. Use a leak-proof liner, plastic

bag, or other equally efficient means of containment specified in packaging or closure

instructions according to A3.1.2. Items drained and purged that are susceptible to leaking

purging fluid (e.g., small fuel components) will also be contained in a liner to prevent

leaking. (T-0).

A3.1.5. Ullage (Outage). Do not entirely fill containers designed to hold liquids. When filling

packagings with liquid hazardous material, leave sufficient interior space (outage) to prevent

leakage of contents or distortion of containers due to change of temperature during

transportation, storage, and handling. For flammable liquids and other volatile liquids with

a high coefficient of expansion, a minimum outage of 2 percent at 54 degrees C (130 degrees

F), is required.

A3.1.6. Closures. Packages and containers must be closed as specified in a test report,

packaging instruction, drawing, or manufacturers closure instructions except as identified in

A28.2.2. (T-0). When used, stoppers, corks, or other such friction-type devices must be held

in place securely, tightly, and effectively. (T-0). Each screw-type closure on any

packaging/container (other than UN specification jerricans) containing a hazardous liquid

must be secured with pressure-sensitive tape, self-shrinking plastic, wire, a device designed

to prevent the cap from loosening (integral locking cap), or other positive means to prevent

the closure from loosening due to vibration or substantial temperature change. (T-0).

A3.1.7. Air-Eligible Packaging Requirements.

A3.1.7.1. Combination Packaging Pressure Standard. Inner packagings (including closures)

used to retain a hazardous liquid or semi-solid in a combination packaging must be

AFMAN24-604 9 October 2020 55

capable of withstanding (without leaking) an internal air gauge pressure of not less than

95 kPa (14 psi); or 75 kPa (11 psi) for Packing Group III liquids in Class 3 or Class 6.1;

or a pressure related to the vapor pressure of the liquid contained in the receptacle,

whichever is greater. (T-0). Repack or pack liquid hazardous materials in containers that

do not meet the internal hydraulic pressure standard, into supplementary UN certified

specification containers that meet this requirement. Determine the pressure related to the

vapor pressure of the liquid by one of the following methods:

A3.1.7.1.1. The total gauge pressure measured in the receptacle (that is, the vapor

pressure of the liquid and the partial pressure of the air, or other inert gases, less 100

kPa (15 psi) at 55 degrees C (131 degrees F), multiplied by a safety factor of 1.5. The

total gauge pressure is determined on the basis of a filling temperature of 15 degrees C

(59 degrees F) and a degree of filling such that the receptacle is not liquid full at a

temperature of 55 degrees C (131 degrees F).

A3.1.7.1.2. Not less than 1.75 times the vapor pressure at 50 degrees C (122 degrees F)

of the material to be transported minus 100 kPa (15 psi) but with a minimum test

pressure of 100 kPa (15 psi).

A3.1.7.1.3. Not less than 1.5 times the vapor pressure at 55 degrees C (131 degrees F) of

the material to be transported minus 100 kPa (15 psi) but with a minimum test pressure

of 100 kPa (15 psi).

A3.1.7.2. Single and Composite Packaging Pressure Requirement. Single packagings

containing liquid hazardous material must meet the hydraulic pressure test requirements

of 49 CFR Section 178.605. A test pressure of not less than 250 kPa (36 psi) for liquids

of PG I; 80 kPa (12 psi) for PG III liquids in Class 3 or Class 6.1; and 100 kPa (15 psi)

for all other liquids as outlined in 49 CFR Paragraph 173.27(c). (T-0). If shipping liquid

hazardous materials in containers that do not meet the internal hydraulic pressure

requirement, repack or pack into supplementary UN specification certified containers that

do meet the requirement.

A3.1.7.3. Supplementary Packaging. Pack containers holding liquids that do not meet the

pressure requirement for air transport into a supplementary packaging that does meet the

requirement. Separate interior containers by absorbent and/or cushioning material as

required by Attachment 20. Do not pack pressurized containers in sealed metal drums.

See Attachment 14 and Attachment 15 for marking/labeling requirements and Table

A17.1. for certification instructions.

A3.1.8. Indicators. Valves and indicators (with protective caps when required), which are

necessary to ensure safe transportation, must be installed in the shipping container. (T-0).

Examples are relief valves (vacuum or pressure), humidity indicators, or leak indicators with

adequate sensitivity to alert monitor or crew of imminent danger.

A3.1.9. Packaging for certain Class/Divisions. A packaging containing a Packing Group III

material with a primary or subsidiary hazard of Class/Division 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 5.1, or 8 must

meet Packing Group II performance level. (T-0).

A3.1.10. Inner Packaging. Pack, secure, and cushion inner packagings of combination

packagings to prevent breakage or leakage and to control movement within the outer

container. When partial contents are removed, fill voids to ensure a tight pack. Cushioning

56 AFMAN24-604 9 October 2020

material must not react dangerously with the contents of the inner packagings. (T-0). Inner

packagings are required as specified by the applicable packaging paragraph. If inner

packagings are not required, the packaging paragraph states that inner packagings are not

necessary. See Attachment 20 for absorbent, closure, and cushioning requirements.

A3.1.11. Outside Package/Container. The package or container must be of such size that there

is adequate space to affix all markings and labels in a manner required by this manual

(Attachment 14 and Attachment 15). (T-0). If necessary, use overpacks to provide adequate

space.

A3.1.12. Solids in a Liquid Single Packaging. A single or composite packaging which is tested

and marked for liquid hazardous materials may be filled with a solid hazardous material to a

gross mass, in kilograms, not exceeding the rated capacity of the packaging in liters,

multiplied by the specific gravity marked on the packaging, or 1.2 if not marked. In addition:

A3.1.12.1. A single or composite packaging which is tested and marked for PG I liquid

hazardous materials may be filled with:

A3.1.12.1.1. A PG II solid hazardous material to a gross mass, in kilograms, not

for use. (T-0).

A3.1.15. Foreign Packaging. UN standard non-bulk packaging manufactured outside the

United States may be shipped by military air provided packages are marked according to

A14.2, when applicable, and all other requirements of this manual are complied with. Refer

to A3.3.2.10. for shipping of foreign cylinders.

A3.1.16. Empty Packagings, (articles, Fuel Tanks, Containers, Cylinders, Radioactive

Packages and Nonhazardous Materials). Except as specified in this paragraph, empty

packagings are not subject to any other requirements of this manual.

A3.1.16.1. Empty Containers. Inspect packages that formerly contained a hazardous

material covered by this manual to determine the presence or absence of hazardous

material. If there is presence of hazardous material, purge the hazardous material or the

package is regulated in the same manner as prescribed for the package when it was full.

A container is considered empty if:

A3.1.16.1.1. A hazardous article has been removed from its container and there is no

possibility of remaining residue (e.g., empty torpedo or missile containers).

A3.1.16.1.2. The container has been purged of the hazardous material it previously

contained. Note: When purging equipment/facilities are not present at a given location,

items must be properly packaged and certified as hazardous materials. (T-0).

A3.1.16.2. Empty Cylinders. Compressed gas cylinders are empty if the pressure in the

cylinder is less than 40 pounds per square inch absolute (psia) at 21 degrees C (70 degrees

F). Psia equals the gauge pressure plus atmospheric pressure (14.7 psi).

AFMAN24-604 9 October 2020 59

A3.1.16.2.1. Before shipment, inspect empty cylinders for dents, bulges, oxidation pits,

or other damage. Handle faulty cylinders as required by the latest DOT regulations or

DLAI 4145.25/A700-68/NAVSUPINST 4440.128D/MCO 10330.2D/AFMAN 23-

227(I), Storage and Handling of Liquefied and Gaseous Compressed Gasses and Their

Full and Empty Cylinders.

A3.1.16.2.2. Tightly close valves of cylinders before offering for transportation. The

requirements of A3.3.2.3. apply to the protection of the valves.

A3.1.16.2.3. If the cylinder contains residue of the following material, ship regulated as

full cylinders, regardless of psia, unless completely cleaned and purged of residue or

vapors:

A3.1.16.2.3.1. Ammonia, Anhydrous

A3.1.16.2.3.2. Division 2.2 with a subsidiary hazard (other than division 5.1)

A3.1.16.2.3.3. Contains a flammable or poisonous material

A3.1.16.3. Empty Radioactive Material Packaging. Empty the contents of the packaging as

far as practical, and ensure the requirements of 49 CFR Section 173.428 and Attachment

11 are met.

A3.1.16.4. Identifying Nonregulated Material, Containers or Cylinders. An item listed in

Table A4.1. may not be regulated because it does not meet the definition of the hazard

class. This includes containers or articles defined as empty according to this paragraph.

In this situation, when the item is determined to be nonregulated, the shipper alerts the

carrier by:

A3.1.16.4.1. Annotating "NONHAZARDOUS" in the address block of the Military

Shipment Label (MSL) and/or mark container “Non-Regulated”. In the absence of the

MSL, the shipper uses an equivalent means of notification.

A3.1.16.4.2. Ship the item as general cargo and a Shipper's Declaration for Dangerous

Goods form is not required.

A3.1.16.4.3. Apply an "EMPTY" label according to Attachment 15, when applicable. A

label is not required for equipment or articles unless packaged, crated, or otherwise

enclosed to prevent ready identification.

A3.1.16.4.4. The "NONHAZARDOUS" entry on the MSL and the use of an "EMPTY"

label is not required when the hazardous contents are completely removed from the

container and there is no possibility of remaining residue, and the hazard

communication markings and labels are removed or covered. Identify cylinders as

empty as required by A15.3.4.

A3.1.17. Hidden Hazardous Shipment Indicators. Shippers have not always properly identified

all hazardous materials prior to entering the DTS. The main reason is lack of knowledge of

hazardous materials located or packed in equipment, toolboxes, parts, etc. Personnel that

ship, inspect or handle cargo in DTS should be aware of potential hidden hazards. If hazards

are suspected, frustrate the shipment and coordinate with the shipping activity to resolve.

The following table has examples of cargo that could contain hidden hazards that may

endanger the safety of aircraft.

practical. The level of nonfixed radioactive contamination may be determined by

wiping an area of 300 cm

2

of the surface concerned with an absorbent material, using

moderate pressure, and measuring the activity on the wiping material. Take sufficient

measurements in the most appropriate locations to yield a representative assessment of

the nonfixed contamination levels. The amount of radioactivity measured on any single

wiping material divided by the surface area wiped and divided by the efficiency of the

wipe procedure may not exceed the limits set forth in Table A3.3. at any time during

transport. Other methods of assessment of equal or greater efficiency may be used.

A3.3.7.6.2. Inspecting Aircraft for Contamination. Periodically check aircraft used to

routinely transport radioactive materials for radioactive contamination. Determine

frequency of the checks based on the likelihood of contamination and the extent to

which radioactive materials are carried aboard the aircraft. Take aircraft out of service

A3.3.7.7. Transport Index and Criticality Safety Index (CSI).

A3.3.7.7.1. Transport Index – Radiation Exposure Control.

A3.3.7.7.1.1. The TI for a package, overpack, or freight container is the number

derived using the following procedure:

A3.3.7.7.1.1.1. Determine the maximum radiation level at a distance of 1 m from

the external surfaces of the package, overpack, or freight container. If the

radiation level is determined in units of millisievert per hour (mSv/h), then

multiply the value by 100 to convert to units of millirem per hour (mrem/h). If

the radiation level is determined in units of millirem per hour, then the value is

not changed. For uranium and thorium ores and concentrates, the maximum

radiation dose rate at any point 1 m from the external surface of the load may be

taken as follows:

A3.3.7.7.1.1.1.1. For ores and physical concentrates of uranium and thorium -

0.4 mSv/h (40 mrem/h).

A3.3.7.7.1.1.1.2. For chemical concentrates of thorium – 0.3 mSv/h (30

mrem/h).

A3.3.7.7.1.1.1.3. For chemical concentrates of uranium, other than uranium

hexafluoride – 0.02 mSv/h (2 mrem/h).

A3.3.7.7.1.1.2. For freight containers, multiply the value determined in

A3.3.7.7.1.1.1. by the appropriate factor from Table A3.4.

less may be considered as zero.

A3.3.7.7.1.2. Transport Index – Consignment. Determine the transport index for each

overpack or freight container as either the sum of the TIs of all the packages

contained, or by direct measurement of radiation level, except in the case of non-

rigid overpacks for which the transport index is determined as the sum of the TIs of

all the packages only.

A3.3.7.7.2. Determination of Criticality Safety Index (CSI). The Criticality Safety Index

(CSI) for packages containing fissile material is determined in accordance with the

instructions provided in 10 CFR Part 71. The CSI for an overpack, freight container,

packaging must also meet the design requirements of 49 CFR Section 173.412 and test

requirements of 49 CFR Sections 173.461 and 173.465. (T-0).

A3.3.7.9.2. Each Type B(U) or Type B(M) package must meet the design and test

requirements of 10 CFR Part 71. (T-0).

A3.3.7.9.3. Each shipper of a DOT 7A package must maintain on file for at least 1 year

after the latest shipment complete documentation of tests and an engineering evaluation

or comparative data showing that the construction methods, packaging design, and

materials of construction comply with that specification. (T-0). Unless otherwise

required, the shipper is exempt from maintaining this documentation if it is maintained

by the Inventory Control Point (national stock number managing activity).

A3.3.7.10.2.1. The heat generated within the package due to the radioactive contents

will not, at any time during transportation, affect the integrity of the package under

normal transportation conditions. (T-0).

A3.3.7.10.2.2. The temperature of the accessible external surfaces of the loaded

package will not, assuming still air in the shade at an ambient temperature of 38

degrees C (100 degrees F), exceed either a temperature of 50 degrees C (122 degrees

F) in other than an exclusive use shipment or 85 degrees C (185 degrees F) in an

exclusive use shipment. (T-0).

A3.3.7.11. Types of Packaging. The types of packages used for radioactive material which

A3.3.9.2.3.4. For lithium batteries packed with, or contained in, equipment, the

number of batteries in each package is limited to the minimum number required to

power the piece of equipment, plus two spare sets. A “set” of cells or batteries is the

number of individual cells or batteries that are required to power each piece of

equipment.

96 AFMAN24-604 9 October 2020

A3.3.9.2.3.5. Mark each package with the lithium battery mark as required by

A14.4.8.5. The mark is not required for a package containing button cell batteries

installed in equipment (including circuit boards) or when no more than four lithium

cells or two lithium batteries are installed in the equipment. Markings do not prohibit

the movement of passengers on military or contracted cargo aircraft.

A3.3.9.2.4. A lithium cell or battery that does not conform to the provisions of this

manual may be transported only under conditions approved by the competent authority.

A3.3.9.3. Magnetized Material. Any package that has a magnetic field strength of more than

0.00525 gauss measured at 4.5 m (15 ft) from any surface of the package is forbidden on

military aircraft.

A3.3.9.4. Vehicles and SE.

A3.3.9.4.1. Fuel levels for vehicles, engines, equipment, and other mechanical devices

are determined by the technical directive used to prepare the item for air movement.

However, fuel levels cannot exceed limits established in the packaging paragraph.

When technical directives do not specify fuel levels for shipment, the requirements of

the packaging paragraph apply. Actual fuel levels are determined by a fuel gauge. In

absence of an operational fuel gauge, use a graduated dip stick. If positive means is not

available to accurately determine fuel level, drain or siphon the tank. The tank may be

refilled to appropriate level in the presence of an inspector (see paragraph A28.1.2.).

A3.3.9.4.2. Do not remove other hazardous materials from their packaging and store in

the racks or containers of vehicles or equipment unless authorized by paragraph A5.3.

A3.3.9.4.3. Fire Suppression Systems. Vehicles and equipment integral fire suppression

systems are safed, secured, or disabled to prevent accidental activation during

transportation.

A3.3.9.4.4. The descriptions for engines installed in SE have changed. UN identification

numbers and proper shipping names for engines or machinery internal combustion and

assigned a hazard classification based on the type of fuel used.

A3.3.9.5. Unregulated Engines and Fuel Components. The following items when drained,

purged, and containing no other hazardous materials are nonhazardous for transportation.

Comply with paragraph A3.1.16.4.

A3.3.9.5.1. Vehicles and internal combustion engines, with or without fuel tanks

attached, prepared for shipment according to applicable technical directives or

standards. Fuel systems including carburetors, pumps, controls, and fuel tanks must be

completely drained, purged, and sealed with appropriate pressure seal type plug and

caps with gaskets and “O” rings. (T-0).

A3.3.9.5.2. Aircraft engines which are drained and purged according to the responsible

technical manual, and containing no other hazardous materials.

A3.3.9.5.3. Fuel tanks, and cells that are drained, purged, and sealed according to the

applicable technical directive.

AFMAN24-604 9 October 2020 97

A3.3.9.5.4. All preserved and packed serviceable fuel assemblies, for example,

carburetors, fuel pumps, filters, etc., that are drained and purged of all fuel. In addition,

seal fuel assemblies with proper caps, plugs, and covers according to the applicable

technical directive. Use a barrier bag to contain residual purging fluid. Mark the type

of purging fluid used and the flash point on the outer container.

A3.3.9.6. Dry Ice.

A3.3.9.6.1. Properties of Carbon Dioxide, Solid. At temperatures above -78.5 degrees C

(-109.3 degrees F) dry ice sublimates and releases carbon dioxide fumes. If the carbon

dioxide concentration in the aircraft is over 0.5 percent, crewmembers may suffer

shortness of breath. Carbon dioxide concentrations of 3.0 percent are endurable from

1/2 to 1 hour. Concentrations of 5.0 percent are dangerous from 1/2 to 1 hour and

concentrations of 9.0 percent are fatal from 5 to 10 minutes. Carbon dioxide is heavier

than air; therefore, the highest concentration is at or near floor level. Caution

crewmembers against lying on the cargo compartment floor or remaining in the cargo

compartment for a prolonged period. If symptoms of overexposure are noted, use

oxygen and increased ventilation to provide rapid relief.

A3.3.9.6.2. Seat passengers forward of and separate by the greatest distance possible

(minimum one full pallet position) from dry ice.

A3.3.9.6.3. Ensure passengers and crewmembers do not occupy the same pallet position

as dry ice.

A3.3.9.6.4. Do not carry dry ice (exceeding passenger acceptable carry-on quantities

specified in Attachment 22) in any upper deck compartment.

A3.3.9.6.5. Vent the aircraft cargo compartment to the greatest extent possible allowed

by the flight profile and environmental conditions.

A3.3.9.6.6. Quantity limits specified in this paragraph apply to all personnel, other than

aircrew members, who occupy the cargo compartment with dry ice. Aircrew members

take precautions to prevent oxygen deprivation (e.g., oxygen masks) when entering

cargo compartments exceeding quantity limits specified in this paragraph.

A3.3.9.6.7. Pressurized Aircraft. For pressurized aircraft, the amount of dry ice that can

be safely shipped by air regardless of the type container used depends on the

sublimation rate of the ice, the volume of the aircraft, and the number of air changes

per hour. To minimize the sublimation rate, use insulated containers surrounded with

insulating blankets and tarpaulin during shipment to the greatest extent possible. To

determine the amount of dry ice that can be safely shipped by air, use the formula in

Figure A3.6. The formula in Figure A3.6. does not apply to C-130 Aircraft. Aircraft

specific limits for C-17 aircraft are shown in Figure A3.7 and C-5 aircraft are shown

in Figure A3.8.

Figure A3.7. Maximum Quantities for Dry Ice Aboard C-17 Aircraft.

Note: Above quantities are the maximum amounts for operating with no passengers in the cargo compartment.

Limitation with passengers in the cargo compartment is set at 1,040 pounds (472 kilograms) for both high and

normal flow.

AFMAN24-604 9 October 2020 99

Figure A3.8. Maximum Quantities for Dry Ice Aboard C-5 Aircraft.

Notes:

1. Operate the Environmental Control System (ECS) with “both” air conditioning units on a

“Normal” flow control valve and the “Intermediate” setting on the alternative air valve.

2. Open the auxiliary vent value for this condition.

3. The air turbine motor is at idle. Open the auxiliary vent valve for this condition.

A3.3.9.6.8. Aircraft on Minimum Air Changes. When aircraft is on minimum air changes

per hour, safe loads are drastically reduced. When the aircraft is on the ground longer

than 45 minutes, recalculate the safe quantity using new numbers of air changes per

hour.

A3.3.9.6.9. KC-10 Aircraft. Dry ice may be carried in the KC-10 cargo compartment

under the following aircraft operating conditions:

A3.3.9.6.9.1. If "one" air conditioning pack is lost in flight, then accomplish

emergency procedures for cabin. Turn Cargo Smoke Light on per KC-10 flight

manual T.O. 1C-10(K)A-1, Section II. Include "Smoke Source is not Accessible"

portion of procedure except do not put cabin pressure control in manual and do not

depressurize cabin.

A3.3.9.6.9.2. Environmental curtain at station 615 or 879: If "one" air conditioning

pack is lost in flight, then accomplish emergency procedures for cabin, turn cargo

smoke light on, mixed passenger and cargo configuration per KC-10 flight manual

T.O 1C-10(k) A-1, section II, except do not initiate firefighting procedures.

A3.3.9.6.9.3. During cargo loading, the following procedures apply to minimize

carbon dioxide concentration:

A3.3.9.6.9.3.1. Ensure APU is running and "both" air conditioning packs are

operating.

100 AFMAN24-604 9 October 2020

A3.3.9.6.9.3.2. Open number 4 passenger service door for additional ventilation.

A3.3.9.6.9.3.3. Open all air inlets in the aerial refueling operator’s station and close

aerial refueling operators hatch.

A3.3.9.6.9.3.4. Ensure environmental curtain is closed before flight.

A3.3.9.6.9.3.5. Transport maximum quantities as shown in Figure A3.10.

Figure A3.9. Maximum Quantities for Dry Ice Aboard KC-10 Aircraft.

A3.3.9.6.10. C-130 Aircraft. Safety Considerations. Dry ice may be transported aboard

C-130 Aircraft if the following conditions are met:

A3.3.9.6.10.1. Crewmembers should be instructed to monitor themselves and others

for any signs/symptoms of possible overexposure to carbon dioxide gas, to include

shortness of breath, dizziness, confusion, cognitive impairment/poor decision-

making, headaches, or nausea.

A3.3.9.6.10.2. Operate the Environmental Control System (ECS) with both air

conditioning packs on. In the event of an air-pack failure the air exchange rate is

reduced by half, which reduces the amount of allowable dry ice by half. If this occurs

during flight, decrease cruise altitude to the lowest acceptable altitude for safe flight

in order to enhance ventilation. Manually open the CROSS FLOW VALVE to allow

maximum air interchange between the flight station and cargo compartment.

A3.3.9.6.10.3. If symptoms of CO2 overexposure become evident and are not

mitigated by reducing cruise altitude, the aircraft should land as soon as possible.

Supplemental oxygen, using quick-don masks or similar, are to be used if necessary.

A3.3.9.6.10.4. The formula presented in Figure A3.6 does not apply to C-130 aircraft.

A3.3.9.6.10.5. C-130H Aircraft. Figure A3.11 is for C-130H variants with a quantity

of two (2) 70 pound per minute air conditioning packs only.

deactivates the cargo compartment Environmental Control System. Refer to

A3.3.9.6.10.2. when wing and empennage anti-icing is used at any time other

than during taxi, takeoff and descent.

A3.3.9.6.10.7 added: For C-130 aircraft other than C-130H equipped with two

(2) 70 pound per minute air conditioning packs and C-130J aircraft, the

maximum allowable amount of dry ice is 600 pounds (272 kilograms) at any

given altitude.

A3.3.9.6.11. Non-pressurized Aircraft. For non-pressurized aircraft, the amount of dry

ice that can be safely shipped by air depends upon the sublimation rate and ventilation

of the aircraft. To minimize the sublimation rate, use insulated containers surrounded

with insulating blankets and tarpaulins. Provide maximum ventilation during the

shipment. With unpressurized cargo compartment, the quantity of dry ice that can be

transported is unlimited if the fumes are vented overboard the aircraft.

A3.3.9.6.12. AMC Contract Aircraft. Do not transport more than 440 pounds (200

kilograms) of dry ice in a cargo compartment of AMC contract aircraft without prior

approval from the individual air carrier.

A3.3.9.6.13. Packaging. Use fiberboard boxes, polystyrene foam containers, or other

suitable packaging designed and constructed to permit the release of carbon dioxide

gas and to prevent a build-up of pressure that could rupture the packaging. Use UN

specification packaging when required by this manual.

A3.3.9.7. Consumer Commodities. Ensure inner packagings containing hazardous liquids

re-classified as a Consumer Commodity are capable of meeting internal air gauge pressure

requirements of A3.1.7.1.

102 AFMAN24-604 9 October 2020

A3.4. Household Goods (HHG) Shipments. DTR 4500.9-R, Part IV, Personal Property

establishes requirements for the movement of HHG and specifies that hazardous materials are

not authorized for military airlift. Exception: engine power-driven equipment (motorcycle,

moped, lawnmower, boat, snowmobile, etc.) may be transported as HHG under the following

requirements:

A3.4.1. Completely drain all fuel.

A3.4.2. Run until the engine stalls.

A3.4.3. Drain all oil and cooling fluids.

A3.4.4. Allow fuel tanks and lines to remain open for at least 24 hours prior to pickup.

A3.4.5. Disconnect non-spillable gel-type batteries and tape the connection ends to prevent

short circuit. Batteries may remain in the equipment holder, but ensure they are firmly

secured and remain upright in the shipping container. Do not ship batteries with acid or alkali.

A3.4.6. Engine power-driven equipment prepared in this manner are not regulated by this

manual. A Shipper’s Declaration for Dangerous Goods is not required.

Attachment 4

ITEMS LISTING

A4.1. General Requirements. This attachment contains:

A4.1.1. An alphabetical listing of the hazardous materials subject to the requirements of this

manual. See paragraph A3.1.16. for material determined to be nonhazardous.

A4.1.2. Classification criteria for hazard classes. See Attachment 1 for definitions.

A4.1.3. Identification of items prohibited for military air transportation.

A4.1.4. Listing of Hazardous Substances and applicable Reportable Quantities.

A4.2. Classifying Hazardous Materials.

A4.2.1. Hazard Class Names. The hazard class and division is a numerical identification which

describes the class (type) of primary hazard involved and if appropriate, its division within

the class. Use the Hazardous Material Information Resource System (HMIRS), product

Safety Data Sheet, or other manufacturer’s information if assistance in determining the

hazard classification is needed. Figure A4.1 lists class and division numbers and the

corresponding class and division names.

Figure A4.1. Hazard Classes.

104 AFMAN24-604 9 October 2020

A4.2.2. Items Not Specifically Listed. If a material is not specifically listed in Table A4.1.,

determine the PSN by comparing the characteristics of the items with the definitions of the

various hazard classes in this manual. Assign a "Not Otherwise Specified" (N.O.S.) name

based on the hazard class of the material. Examples are: "FLAMMABLE LIQUID, N.O.S.;

CORROSIVE SOLID, N.O.S." Attachment 1 contains hazardous class definitions.

Determine the appropriate technical name according to A4.5.2.

A4.2.3. Articles containing dangerous goods N.O.S. Classify articles which do not have an

existing proper shipping name and which contain only one or more dangerous goods as a

residue or as an integral element of the machinery or apparatus that cannot be removed for

the purpose of transport as follows:

A4.2.3.1. When the article meets the provisions of UN3363, Dangerous goods in apparatus

or Dangerous goods in machinery, use UN3363

A4.2.3.2. When the article cannot meet the UN3363 provision, use “articles containing ***”

classified under the proper shipping name for the dangerous goods they contain. For the

purposes of this section “article” means machinery, apparatus or other devices containing

dangerous goods (or residues thereof) that are an integral element of the article, necessary

for its functioning. An inner packaging is not an article.

A4.2.3.3. Articles may in addition contain batteries. Lithium batteries that are integral to the

article must be of a type proven to meet the testing requirements of the UN Manual of

Tests and Criteria, Part III, subsection 38.3. (T-0). Pre-production prototype articles

containing lithium batteries or for a small production run, consisting of not more than 100

such articles, areauthorized without the running the 38.3 tests.

A4.2.3.4. This section does not apply to articles for which a more specific proper shipping

name already exists in Table A4.1.

A4.2.3.5. This section does not apply to dangerous goods of Class 1, Division 6.2, Class 7

or radioactive material contained in articles.

A4.2.3.6. Assign articles containing dangerous goods to the appropriate class or division

determined by the hazards present using the precedence of hazard from paragraph A4.2.4.

for each of the dangerous goods contained in the article. If dangerous goods classified as

Class 9 are contained within the article, all other dangerous goods present in the article

are considered to present a higher hazard.

A4.2.3.7. Subsidiary hazards are representative of the primary hazard posed by the other

dangerous goods contained within the article. If the article contains more than one item

of dangerous goods and these could react dangerously with one another during transport,

ensure each of the dangerous goods are enclosed separately.

A4.2.4. Tentative PSN Assignment. A material for which the hazard class is determined by

testing, or a material that is a hazardous waste, the shipper may assign a tentative shipping

name.

A4.2.4.1. Base the tentative PSN on:

A4.2.4.1.1. The defining criteria of the hazard class.

AFMAN24-604 9 October 2020 105

A4.2.4.1.2. The hazard precedence prescribed in A4.2.4.

A4.2.4.1.3. The shipper's knowledge of the material.

A4.2.4.1.4. A3.3.1.4 for new explosives.

A4.2.4.2. For a sample of a material other than a waste, meet the following:

A4.2.4.2.1. Except when the word “Sample” already appears in the proper shipping name,

ensure the word “Sample” appears as part of the proper shipping name or in association

with the basic description on the Shipper's Declaration for Dangerous Goods;

A4.2.4.2.2. When the proper shipping description for a sample is assigned a ""(star) in

Column (1) of Table A4.1, and the primary constituent(s) for which the tentative

classification is based are not known, the provisions requiring a technical name for the

constituent(s) do not apply; and

A4.2.4.2.3. Transport samples in combination packaging that conforms to the

requirements of this manual that are applicable to the tentative packing group assigned,

and may not exceed a net mass of 2.5 kg (5.5 pounds) per package.

A4.2.5. Precedence of Hazard. Assign any material specifically identified and listed in Table

A4.1. the hazard class identified in column 3 of Table A4.1. Use other resources identified

in A4.2.1. to determine the appropriate hazardous material description. If required, classify

a hazardous material that is not specifically identified and listed in Table A4.1 (or is a

mixture of materials), and meets the definition of more than one hazard, according to the

following order of precedence:

A4.2.5.1. Class 7 (Radioactive material, other than limited quantities and shipments of UN

3507, Uranium hexafluoride, radioactive material, excepted package). When limited

quantities are involved the other hazardous properties take precedence.

A4.2.5.2. Class 1 (explosives).

A4.2.5.3. Class 2.3 (poisonous gas).

A4.2.5.4. Class 2.1 (flammable gas). See also Class 9.

A4.2.5.5. Class 2.2 (nonflammable gas). See also Class 9.

A4.2.5.6. Class 5.2 (organic peroxide).

A4.2.5.7. Class 6.2 (infectious substances).

A4.2.5.8. Class 4.1 (flammable solid). Only self-reactive substances and wetted explosives.

A4.2.5.9. Class 4.2 (substances liable to spontaneous combustion). Only pyrophoric

substances.

A4.2.5.10. Class 6.1 (poisonous substances), PG I, poisonous by inhalation only.

A4.2.5.11. Small quantities of compressed gas such as starter fluid (Class 2.1) or fire

extinguisher (Class 2.2) installed on a vehicle do not take precedence over the flammable

liquid (Class 3).

A4.2.5.12. If required, classify other hazardous materials not identified above according to

49 CFR Section 173.2a.

106 AFMAN24-604 9 October 2020

A4.2.6. Hazard Classification of Class 5.2 Organic Peroxides. Class 5.2 organic peroxides are

categorized into one of seven "types" in a system of generic proper shipping names. The

generic PSN for the organic peroxide describes the physical state of the material (e.g., liquid

or solid), provides an indication of controlled temperature requirements, and includes the

"type" of the organic peroxide. The seven types of organic peroxides are described in

Attachment 1. Transport all Class 5.2 material under one of the generic proper shipping

names listed in Table A4.1. beginning with the words "ORGANIC PEROXIDE". Technical

names are listed below each PSN in lower case letters. To determine the correct PSN:

A4.2.6.1. Find the technical name in Table A9.1. and select the UN identification number

assigned to the technical name that best describes the item (in terms of concentration

ranges, physical characteristics, etc.).

A4.2.6.2. Turn to the "ORGANIC PEROXIDE" listed in Table A4.1. These entries

constitute the "generic" organic peroxide proper shipping names.

A4.2.6.3. Match the UN identification number for the technical name with a UN

identification number associated with the generic PSN.

A4.2.6.4. Include the "type" under which the organic peroxide falls for generic PSN

associated with organic peroxides. Organic peroxide types are defined in Attachment 1.

A4.3. Determining Degree of Hazard. For most material, the degree of hazard is identified as

the Packing Group (PG), and is assigned in column 6 of Table A4.1. PG I (great danger), PG II

(medium danger), and PG III (minor danger) indicate the degree of hazard associated with the

materials and are used to identify the severity of UN specification performance tests associated

with the packaging for the item. Poisonous by inhalation material are assigned hazard zones

(see Attachment 1) in Table A4.1. If unknown, the PG or hazard zone may be determined

according to this paragraph. Hazard Classes, 1, 2, and 7 do not have packing groups.

A4.3.1. Class 2 Hazard Zone. The hazard zone of a Class 2.3 material is given in column 7 of

Table A4.1. When column 7 of Table A4.1. provides more than one hazard zone or is blank,

determine the hazard zone from Figure A4.2. There are no hazard zones for Class 2.1 and

2.2.

Figure A4.2. Determination of Hazard Zone for Class 2.3.

A4.3.2. Class 3 Packing Groups. When Table A4.1. lists more than one PG for a material, or

indicates that the PG is to be determined on the basis of the PG criteria for Class 3, determine

AFMAN24-604 9 October 2020 107

the PG by using Figure A4.3. To use Figure A4.3., match the initial boiling point and flash

point of the material to the corresponding PG. Flash points may be determined from the

safety data sheet, the Hazardous Material Information Resource System (HMIRS), the

National Fire Protection Guide, or markings on the package. For example, a Class 3 material

with an initial boiling point of 38 degrees C (100 degrees F) and a flash point of 25 degrees

C (77 degrees F) would be assigned a PG III. If the initial boiling point is less than or equal

to 35 degrees C (95 degrees F), assign PG I. Viscous Class 3 material (e.g., paints, varnishes,

enamels, lacquers, adhesives, and polishes) in PG II with a flash point of less than 23 degrees

C (73 degrees F) may be grouped in PG III provided the requirements of 49 CFR Paragraph

173.121(b) are met.

Figure A4.3. Criteria for Class 3 PG.

A4.3.3. Class 4 Packing Groups. When Table A4.1. indicates that the PG of the material is to

be determined on the basis of test criteria for Class 4 material, ensure the test methods and

appropriate criteria complies with 49 CFR Section 173.125.

A4.3.4. Class 5 Packing Groups. When column 5 of Table A4.1. is blank for a solid or liquid

in Class 5.1, determine the PG based on the test criteria found in 49 CFR Section 173.127.

A4.3.5. Class 6 Packing Groups and Hazard Zone. When Table A4.1., column 5 provides more

than one PG and hazard zone for a specific Class 6.1 material, determine the PG and hazard

zone by applying the following criteria:

A4.3.5.1. Determine the PG assignment for other than inhalation of vapors by using Figure

A4.4.

A4.3.5.2. Determine the PG and hazard zone assignments for inhalation of vapors by using

Figure A4.5.

Figure A4.4. PG Assignment For Other Than Inhalation of Vapors.

108 AFMAN24-604 9 October 2020

Figure A4.5. Inhalation Toxicity.

A4.3.5.3. "V" is the saturated vapor concentration in air of the material in mL/m

3

at 20

degrees C (68 degrees F) and standard atmospheric pressure.

A4.3.5.4. When the PG determined by Figure A4.4. and Figure A4.5. is different for two or

more (oral, dermal, inhalation) routes of administration, the PG assigned to the material

corresponds to the route of the highest degree of toxicity identified.

A4.3.5.5. Compute the PG and hazard zone for Class 6.1 mixtures that are poisonous (toxic)

by inhalation as identified in 49 CFR Paragraph 173.133(b).

A4.3.6. Class 8 Packing Groups. When Table A4.1. lists more than one PG for a material,

determine the PG as follows:

A4.3.6.1. Packing Group I. Substances that cause irreversible damage to intact skin tissue

within an observation period of up to 60 minutes starting after an exposure time of 3

minutes or less.

A4.3.6.2. Packing Group II. Substances that cause irreversible damage to intact skin tissue

within an observation period of up to 14 calendar days starting after an exposure time of

more than 3 minutes, but not more than 60 minutes.

A4.3.6.3. Packing Group III. Substances are assigned to Packing Group III if they meet one

of the following:

A4.3.6.3.1. Substances that cause irreversible damage to intact skin tissue within an

observation period of up to 14 calendar days starting after an exposure time of more

than 60 minutes but less than 4 hours.

A4.3.6.3.2. Substances which are judged not to cause irreversible damage to intact skin

tissue but which exhibit a corrosion rate on steel or aluminum surfaces exceeding 6.25

mm (1/4 inch) a year at a test temperature of 55 degrees C (130 degrees F).

A4.3.6.4. 49 CFR Section 173.137 has additional information and alternative methods for

assignment of Class 8 packing groups. Those alternative methods are authorized for use

but not duplicated in this manual.

A4.4. Hazardous Substances. Table A4.3. identifies materials that are designated hazardous

substances as defined in 49 CFR, Section 172.101, Appendix A, List of Hazardous Substances

and Reportable Quantities. See Attachment 1 for a detailed definition of a hazardous substance.

Ensure review of Table A4.3 to determine if a material is a hazardous substance.

AFMAN24-604 9 October 2020 109

A4.4.1. Determine if the material is a hazardous substance by identifying the reportable

quantity (RQ) in Table A4.3. The RQ is used to determine if material is a hazardous

substance. The material is a hazardous substance if the amount in one package equals or

exceeds the RQ quantity. Table A4.3. specifies, in pounds and kilograms, the minimum

quantity of the material that constitutes an RQ. For example: sodium arsenate (RQ-1.0/0.454)

means the RQ is 1.0 pound or 0.454 kilograms.

A4.4.2. A substance or solution is a "hazardous substance" when the concentration by weight

equals or exceeds the concentration listed in Figure A1.1.

A4.4.3. If the technical name of the hazardous substance appears in Table A4.1., then the

technical name is the PSN. If the hazardous substance does not appear in Table A4.1. and is

not a forbidden material, select an appropriate generic (N.O.S.) PSN. Specify the technical

name in parenthesis after the PSN. See Attachment 17 for certification requirements.

A4.4.4. For Radionuclides, see 49 CFR Section 172.101, Appendix A.

A4.5. Using Table A4.1. Table A4.1. identifies "hazardous materials” for the purpose of military

air transportation. To use Table A4.1. locate the proper shipping name (PSN) of the hazardous

material and follow the information identified on the same line with the PSN. Use Table A4.1.

to identify the following: eligibility of material for shipment, identification number, proper

shipping name (PSN), hazard class and division, subsidiary hazard, packing group (PG), special

provisions applicable to the material (including passenger eligibility), and packaging paragraph.

A4.5.1. Column 1: Symbols. Column 1 contains symbols that pertain to the PSN.

A4.5.1.1. The letter "D" means that the PSN applies only to domestic shipments. These

items are also identified by "NA" numbers in column 4. For international shipments, select

an alternate PSN that is not preceded by a "D".

A4.5.1.2. The "" (star) identifies that a technical name is required in association with the

PSN.

A4.5.1.3. The “+” (plus) fixes the proper shipping name, hazard class and packing group for

that entry without regard to whether the material meets the definition of that class or

packing group or meets any other hazard class definition.

A4.5.2. Column 2: Identification Number. Column 2 lists the identification number assigned

to each PSN.

A4.5.2.1. Ship items identified with "UN" or "ID" (identification) numbers domestically or

internationally.

A4.5.2.2. Ship items identified with "NA" (North American) numbers domestically only.

Use of “UN” numbers is preferred even for domestic shipment.

A4.5.2.3. New or revised UN or NA numbers in 49 CFR Part 172, ICAO, or IATA are

recognized for use with this manual.

A4.5.3. Column 3: Proper Shipping Names (PSN). PSNs are listed alphabetically in all bold

capital letters in Table A4.1. Use either singular or plural wording. New and revised PSNs

in 49 CFR Part 172, ICAO, or IATA are authorized PSNs under this manual, provided the

packaging requirements do not change. Alternate accepted spelling may be used provided

the correct associated UN/ID number is used (e.g., “UN1350, SULFUR” vice “UN1350,

110 AFMAN24-604 9 October 2020

SULPHUR”). A PSN modifier which appears as lower case italicized letters are descriptive

words which may be used, but are not required as part of the PSN.

A4.5.3.1. Technical or Chemical Group Names. Provide a technical or chemical group name

in association with the PSN when required by an “” (star) in column 1.

A4.5.3.1.1. Organic Peroxides. Use technical names listed below the appropriate generic

PSN (in lower case letters) in Table A4.1. See A4.2.5. for PSN assignment based on

technical name.

A4.5.3.1.2. Mixtures and Solutions. If the hazardous material is a mixture or solution of

two or more hazardous materials, enter the technical names of at least two components

most contributing to the hazards of the mixture or solution in parentheses after the PSN.

A4.5.3.2. The Word "OR" in Table A4.1. The word "or" in a sequence of PSNs means that

PSNs in the sequence are synonymous. Therefore, use of any one of the PSNs in the series

is appropriate. Select only one PSN in the series when classifying the shipment. For Class

1 material, use the PSN listed in the JHCS.

A4.5.3.3. The Word "SEE" in Table A4.1. When one item references another item (by use

of the word "see") and both names are in capital letters, use either name as the PSN.

Forbidden designations and passenger restrictions applicable to the referenced entry also

apply to the "see" entry.

A4.5.3.4. The Words “SOLUTION” or “MIXTURE”. Identify a mixture or solution

containing a hazardous material listed by name in Table A4.1. together with one or more

materials not subject to this manual by the PSN of the hazardous material. Add the

qualifying word “solution” or “mixture” to the PSN. (See 49 CFR Subparagraph

172.101(c) (10))

A4.5.3.5. Concentration Ranges. When a shipping name includes a concentration range as

part of the shipping description, the actual concentration shipped (if it is in the range

stated) may be used in place of the concentration range. For example, ship a hydrogen

peroxide solution containing 30 percent peroxide as either "Hydrogen peroxide aqueous

solution (with not less than 20 percent but not more than 40 percent hydrogen peroxide)"

or "Hydrogen peroxide aqueous solution (with 30 percent hydrogen peroxide)."

A4.5.3.6. Hazardous Wastes. The PSN for a hazardous material that is a hazardous waste

must include the word "WASTE" preceding the name of the material (e.g., WASTE,

ACETONE). (T-0). Comply with all requirements of this manual identified for the

hazardous material when shipped as waste.

A4.5.4. Column 4: Hazard Class/Division. Column 4 contains:

A4.5.4.1. Primary hazard class and division numbers. When this manual references hazard

class, that includes any division number if appropriate. For Class 1 (explosives), the

compatibility group is also given. See A4.2. for additional information on class/divisions.

A4.5.4.2. Some items that contain explosive material may be assigned to a classification

other than Class 1 by DOD explosives hazard classification approval authorities due to

AFMAN24-604 9 October 2020 111

the predominant hazard (see A3.3.4.4). Compatibility group letters assigned to non-Class

1 material do not apply to military air transportation.

A4.5.5. Column 5: Subsidiary. Column 5 identifies the hazard class/division of any subsidiary

hazard posed by a material. Subsidiary hazard may vary, depending on the applicable PG.

A4.5.6. Column 6: Packing Group (PG). Column 6 specifies one or more packing groups

assigned to each PSN and hazard class. Hazard classes 1, 2, and 7 do not have packing

groups. See A4.3. for additional information on PG.

A4.5.7. Column 7: Special Provisions. Column 7 specifies codes for special provisions that are

applicable for each PSN, hazard class, and PG. Special provision codes may vary, depending

on the PG. Requirements of the special provision codes are identified in Table A4.2. The

codes reflect four categories: numeric codes, codes beginning with "A", codes beginning

with "N", and codes beginning with a “P”.

A4.5.7.1. Use codes beginning with a “P” to determine passenger eligibility for transport

with hazardous materials.

A4.5.7.2. Use all other codes to determine packaging provisions, restrictions, and exceptions

from requirements for particular quantities or forms of materials.

A4.5.7.3. When an additional packaging requirement is prescribed, the requirement is

mandatory.

A4.5.8. Column 8: Packaging Paragraph. This column lists the applicable packaging

paragraph. “FORBIDDEN” items are also identified in this column. Do not transport

"FORBIDDEN" items by military aircraft unless waived in accordance with paragraph 2.3.1.

A4.5.8.1. Except when otherwise identified, prepare hazardous material shipments

according to the specified packaging paragraph.

A4.5.8.2. Packaging paragraphs in each attachment provide titles as a guide for PSNs

covered by that paragraph. These titles are a guide only and are not all-inclusive.

A4.5.8.3. If a packaging paragraph in Table A4.1. specifies packaging that is not applicable

to the form of the material (e.g., the packaging specified is for a solid material and the

material shipped is in liquid form) use the following guidance to select the appropriate

paragraph:

A4.5.8.3.1. Use either packaging paragraph A8.2. for liquids or A8.3. for solids (as

appropriate).

A4.5.8.3.2. Use either packaging paragraph A9.5. for liquids or A9.6. for solids (as

appropriate).

A4.5.8.3.3. Use either packaging paragraph A10.4. for liquids or A10.5. for solids (as

appropriate).

A4.5.8.3.4. Use either packaging paragraph A12.2. for liquids or A12.3. for solids (as

appropriate).

properties when tested for their ability to detonate, deflagrate or explode when heated under defined

confinement by the appropriate test methods and criteria in the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, nor

classed as a Division 4.1 (flammable solid) when tested in accordance with the procedures specified in

49 CFR Section 173.124 (chips, if necessary, crushed and sieved to a particle size of less than 1.25

mm), are not subject to the requirements of this manual.

46 During transport, it must be protected from direct sunshine and stored (or kept) in a cool and well-

ventilated place, away from all sources of heat. (T-0).

47 Mixtures of solids which are not subject to this subchapter and flammable liquids may be

transported under this entry without first applying the classification criteria of Division 4.1, provided

there is no free liquid visible at the time the material is loaded or at the time the packaging or transport

unit is closed. Each packaging must correspond to a design type that has passed a leakproofness test at

the Packing Group II level. (T-0). Small inner packagings consisting of sealed packets containing less

than 10 mL of a Class 3 liquid in Packing Group II or III absorbed onto a solid material are not subject

to this subchapter provided there is no free liquid in the packet.

48 Mixtures of solids which are not subject to this subchapter and toxic liquids may be transported

under this entry without first applying the classification criteria of Division 6.1, provided there is no

free liquid visible at the time the material is loaded or at the time the packaging or transport unit is

102 This article may be transported as Class 1.4D if all of the conditions specified in 49 CFR

Paragraph 173.63(a) are met. Reclassification requires approval by a DOD Explosive Hazard

Classification Authority according to A3.3.1.4.

103 Detonators that will not mass detonate and undergo only limited propagation in the shipping

package may be assigned to Class 1.4B. Mass detonate means that more than 90 percent of the devices

tested in a package explode practically simultaneously. Limited propagation means that if one

detonator near the center of a shipping package is exploded, the aggregate weight of explosives,

excluding ignition and delay charges, in this and all additional detonators in the outer packaging that

explode, may not exceed 25 g. Reclassification requires approval by a DOD Explosive Hazard

Classification Authority according to A3.3.1.4.

105 The word "Agents" may be used instead of "Explosives" when approved by the DOT.

106 The recognized name of the particular explosive may be specified in addition to the type.

107 The classification of the substance is expected to vary especially with the particle size and

packaging, but the border lines have not been experimentally determined; verify appropriate

classifications following the test procedures in 49 CFR Sections 173.57 and 173.58. Reclassification

requires approval by a DOD Explosive Hazard Classification Authority according to A3.3.1.4.

108 Fireworks must be constructed and packaged so that loose pyrotechnic composition is not present

in packages during transportation. (T-0).

109 Rocket motors must be nonpropulsive in transportation unless approved according to A3.3.1.4.

(T-0). To be considered "nonpropulsive", a rocket motor must be capable of unrestrained burning and

must not appreciably move in any direction when ignited by any means. (T-0).

110 Fire extinguishers transported under UN1044 and oxygen cylinders transported for emergency use

under UN1072 may include installed actuating cartridges (cartridges, power device of Division 1.4C or

1.4S), without changing the classification of Division 2.2 unless listed as a Class 1 material in the

JHCS, provided the aggregate quantity of deflagrating (propellant) explosives does not exceed 3.2

grams per cylinder. Oxygen cylinders with installed actuating cartridges as prepared for transportation

must have an effective means of preventing inadvertent activation. (T-0).

111 Explosive substances of Class 1.1A are forbidden for transportation if dry or not desensitized,

unless incorporated in a device.

112 Cartridges, Small Arms (1.4S) and Cartridges, Power Devices (used to project fastening devices)

(1.4S) may be offered for transportation and transported as limited quantities when authorized and

transported in accordance with 49 CFR Section 173.63. Ammunition shipped internationally must be

classified as explosives (Class 1) and packaged according to Attachment 5. (T-0). For Class 1 material

listed in the JHCS, reclassification requires approval by a DOD Explosive Hazard Classification

Authority according to A3.3.1.4.

113 The sample must be given a tentative approval by an agency or laboratory according to the

provisions of 49 CFR Section 173.56. (T-0).

228 AFMAN24-604 9 October 2020

115 Boosters with detonator (detonating primers) in which the total explosive charge per unit does not

exceed 25 g, and which will not mass detonate and undergo only limited propagation in the shipping

package may be assigned to Class 1.4B. Mass detonate means more than 90 percent of the devices

tested in a package explode practically simultaneously. Limited propagation means that if one booster

near the center of the package is exploded, the aggregate weight of explosives, excluding ignition and

delay charges, in this and all additional boosters in the outer packaging that explode may not exceed 25

g. Reclassification requires approval by a DOD Explosive Hazard Classification Authority according to

A3.3.1.4.

116 Fuzes, detonating, may be classed in Class 1.4 if the fuzes do not contain more than 25 g of

explosive per fuze and are made and packaged so that they will not cause functioning of other fuzes,

explosives, or other explosive devices if one of the fuzes detonates in a shipping packaging or in

adjacent packages. Reclassification requires approval by a DOD Explosive Hazard Classification

Authority according to A3.3.1.4.

117 If a shipment of the explosive substance is to take place at a time that freezing weather is

anticipated, the water contained in the explosive substance must be mixed with denatured alcohol so

that freezing will not occur. (T-0).

118 This substance may not be transported under the provisions of Division 4.1 unless specifically

authorized by the Associate Administrator.

123 Any explosive, blasting, type C containing chlorate must be segregated from explosives

containing ammonium nitrate or other ammonium salts. (T-0).

127 Mixtures containing oxidizing and organic materials transported under this entry may not meet the

definition and criteria of a Class 1 material.

132 This description may only be used for ammonium nitrate-based compound fertilizers. They must be

classified in accordance with the procedure as set out in the Manual of Tests and Criteria, part III, section

39. (T-0).

CLASS 1--EXPLOSIVES AND AMMUNITION

A5.1. General Requirements. For military members, failure to obey the mandatory provisions

from paragraphs A5.2. through A5.27. and any provisions of mandatory subparagraph(s)

hereunder is a violation of Article 92, Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). Civilian

employees who fail to obey the provisions from paragraph A5.2. through A5.27. and any

provisions of mandatory subparagraph(s) hereunder are subject to administrative disciplinary

action without regard to otherwise applicable criminal or civil sanctions. Personnel shall not

deviate from these provisions and must select the correct inner/intermediate packaging and

outer container as specified in each packaging paragraph. (T-0). Not all packaging paragraphs

are inclusive and packaging is based on the category of explosive or ammunition as identified

in each paragraph or subparagraph. This attachment contains information concerning packaging

and general handling instructions for Class 1 material. Unless otherwise noted, certify

specification containers for Class 1 materials to PG II requirements. See Attachment 3 for

additional information concerning Class 1 material.

A5.2. Unpackaged Explosives. Unless otherwise authorized in this manual, package all

explosives according to Attachment 5. Explosives may only be removed from their required

packaging to meet operational requirements of Chapter 3 under the following circumstances:

A5.2.1. On airdrop parachute platforms configured according to TO 13C7/FM 10-500 series

publications.

A5.2.2. When stored in approved racks or containers, or secured in/on tactical equipment or

vehicles as operational components according to technical orders or publications.

A5.2.3. When secured/restrained in freight containers according to service drawings approved

for air movement.

A5.3. Items requiring Special Approval. Ship according to a Special Approval (includes CAA

or COE) issued for the particular item. See paragraphs 2.5. and 2.6. for more information on

CAAs and COEs. Comply with the following handling instructions only when shipping items

containing a fuel that is corrosive or toxic.

A5.3.1. Handling Instructions. Exercise extreme caution in handling this item. Keep well

ventilated, away from sparks, fire hazards, and oxidizing materials. Vapors are toxic when

inhaled. Liquid is corrosive. Fuel in presence of an oxidizer is self-igniting and highly

reactive. Approved protective clothing, gloves, safety goggles, and a positive pressure

breathing apparatus must be available during handling of this material, and worn when

handling leaking packages. (T-0).

A5.3.2. Shipping Requirements. The following requirements apply:

A5.3.2.1. Load containers having an installed indicator in such a manner as to provide access

to the indicator during flight. Inspect the indicator before aircraft loading, after aircraft

loading, at cruise altitude, during flight every hour or as required by the applicable

technical manual, as cargo tiedown is inspected, and after landing. The normal color of

the indicator is white or off-white. The color will change to yellow if inhibited red fuming

AFMAN24-604 9 October 2020 253

nitric acid leak occurs. The color will change to black if an amine fuel mixture leak occurs.

Changes are obvious and do not require technical escort personnel to monitor.

A5.3.2.2. Preplan containers that do not have an indicator installed under the same

conditions as described in paragraph 2.8. The shipper must contact the carrier no less than

72 hours before movement. (T-0). The shipper must also furnish the following:

A5.3.2.2.1. Protective clothing, gloves, and a positive pressure breathing apparatus for

all personnel aboard the aircraft (see also paragraph 1.9.).

HAZARD" label as appropriate.

A15.4.5.2. Label Hazard Zone A or B material with a "TOXIC INHALATION HAZARD"

label.

424 AFMAN24-604 9 October 2020

A15.4.5.3. Ensure material classified as an infectious substance, that also meets the

definition of a Class 2.3 toxic material or a radioactive material, is also labeled with a

"TOXIC GAS" (or INHALATION HAZARD) label or "RADIOACTIVE" label as

appropriate.

A15.4.5.4. Label all Category A infectious substance packagings with an "INFECTIOUS

SUBSTANCE" label.

A15.4.6. Class 7.

A15.4.6.1. Hazard Label. Ensure each package requiring a "RADIOACTIVE" label has two

of these labels affixed to opposite sides of the package. The proper label to affix to a

package of radioactive material is based on the radiation level at the surface of the package

and the transport index. The proper category of label is determined according to Table

A15.1. The first step is to determine the maximum radiation level at a distance of 1 meter

from the external surfaces of the package, overpack or freight container, the value

determined is multiplied by 100. The final step is the figure obtained in step 1 is rounded

up to the first decimal place, except that a value of 0.05 or less may be considered as zero.

Apply the highest category label required for any of the two determining conditions.

Radioactive Category I-White is the lowest category and Category III-Yellow is the

highest. For example: a package with a transport index of 0.8 and a maximum surface

radiation level of 0.6 mSv/h (60 mrem/h) bears a Category III-Yellow label (see Table

A15.1.)

AFMAN24-604 9 October 2020 425

Table A15.1. Radioactive Label Requirements. (See Note 1).

(see Note 3)

More than 2 mSv/h (200 mrem/h) but less

than or equal to 10 mSv/h (1000 mrem/h)

III – Yellow

Notes:

1. The category of label is shown in Key 17 of the Shipper's Declaration for Dangerous

Goods form and the correct label is applied to radioactive materials packages. Any

package containing a "highway route controlled quantity" is labeled as radioactive

Category III-Yellow.

2. If the measured TI is not greater than 0.05, the value quoted may be zero.

3. If the TI is greater than 10, the package or overpack may be transported by SAAM

airlift only (see Attachment 24)

A15.4.6.2. Subsidiary hazard Label. Label each package containing a radioactive material

that also meets the definition of one or more additional hazards, as required by this

attachment for the radioactive material and for each additional hazard. For example, label

solid nitrates of uranium or thorium, "RADIOACTIVE" and "OXIDIZER." Subsidiary

hazard labels are not required for an uncompressed gas that is non-flammable and non-

toxic.

A15.4.6.3. Label Marking. Mark the contents, activity, and for Category II and III yellow

labels, the transport index on the label. Additionally, mark the CSI on the CSI label. Enter

the following information in the blank spaces by legible printing (manual or mechanical),

using a durable weather resistant means of marking:

A15.4.6.3.1. Contents. Mark the contents as follows:

A15.4.6.3.1.1. Except for LSA-I material, the symbol of the radionuclide as listed in

Table A11.1. Symbols that conform to established radiation protection terminology

are authorized, (e.g.,

99

Mo,

60

Co, etc).

A15.4.6.3.1.2. For mixtures of radionuclides, or for different individual radionuclides

packed together in the same package, the most restrictive radionuclides are listed to

the extent that space on the line permits.

A15.4.6.3.1.3. LSA (except LSA-1) or SCO has the symbol of the radionuclide

followed by “LSA-II”, “LSA-III”, “SCO-I”, “SCO-II” as appropriate.

426 AFMAN24-604 9 October 2020

A15.4.6.3.1.4. For LSA-I material, only “LSA-I” is required to be marked.

A15.4.6.3.2. Activity. Express units in appropriate international units of Becquerels (Bq)

or Terabecquerels (TBq). The customary units, e.g., curies (Ci), millicuries (mCi), or

microcuries (uCi) may be included in parenthesis following the international units.

Abbreviations are authorized. For a fissile material, the weight in grams or kilograms

of the fissile radioisotope also may be inserted.

A15.4.6.3.3. Transport Index (TI). For Category II and Category III yellow labels only,

mark the Transport Index in the box provided. It is rounded up to one decimal place

(see Attachment 1).

A15.4.6.3.4. Criticality Safety Index (CSI).

A15.4.6.3.4.1. Mark the Criticality Safety Index label with the CSI as stated in the

certificate of approval for special arrangement or the certificate of approval for the

package design, issued by the NRC or the US Competent Authority, in the box

provided.

A15.4.6.3.4.2. For overpacks and freight containers, the CSI on the label is the sum of

the criticality safety indexes of the individual packages in the freight container or

overpack as stated in the certificate of approval for the package design issued by the

NRC or the US Competent Authority.

A15.4.6.3.5. Overpacks and Freight Containers. When one or more packages of

radioactive material are placed within an overpack, label the overpack as prescribed in

this paragraph except as follows:

A15.4.6.3.5.1. The content entry on the label may state “See Shipper’s Declaration”

in place of the names of the radionuclides unless each inside package contains the

same radionuclide(s).

A15.4.6.3.5.2. The activity entry on the label is determined by adding together the

number of becquerals of the radioactive materials packages contained in the

overpack.

A15.4.6.3.5.3. For an overpack, determine the TI by adding together the transport

indexes of the radioactive materials packages contained in the overpack. For a rigid

overpack, the TI may alternatively be determined by direct measurement as

prescribed in this paragraph; however, only the person who initially offered the

packages contained within the overpack for shipment may take the measurement.

A15.4.6.3.5.4. Determine the category of Class 7 label for the overpack from Table

A15.1. using the TI derived from the requirements in this paragraph and the

maximum surface radiation level on the surface of the overpack.

A15.4.6.3.5.5. Use the category of the Class 7 label of the overpack and not that of

any contained packages in accordance with Table 1 of 49 CFR Paragraph 172.504(e)

to determine when the transport vehicle requires placarding.

AFMAN24-604 9 October 2020 427

A15.4.7. Class 8.

A15.4.7.1. Ensure wet-cell batteries prepared and certified according to A12.4. have

"Package Orientation" labels indicating the upright position (top) of the container, if not

already marked on the container as specified in A14.3.6.

A15.4.7.2. Label Chemical or First Aid Kits prepared in accordance with A12.6. with the

primary hazard label and any subsidiary hazard labels applicable to each individual hazard

within the kit.

A15.4.7.3 Packages displaying a Class 8 label need not display a Division 6.1 subsidiary

hazard label if the toxicity of the material is based solely on the corrosive destruction of

tissue rather than systematic poisoning.

A15.4.8. Class 9.

A15.4.8.1. Vehicles do not require a label unless packaged, crated, or otherwise enclosed to

prevent ready identification.

A15.4.8.2. Certify items containing both limited quantity radioactive and magnetic

characteristics to the radioactive material. Although limited quantity radioactive material

is exempt from labeling, apply a magnetic material label to the shipping container.

CERTIFYING HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

A17.1. Shipper's Certification. Unless specifically exempted in this manual, the shipping

activity must complete a shipper's certification according to this attachment for all military air

shipments of hazardous materials. (T-0).

A17.1.1. Certifying Official.

A17.1.1.1. An individual qualified according to A25.3. is required to inspect the hazardous

materials prior to accomplishing the Shipper's Declaration for Dangerous Goods form.

A17.1.1.2. When transportation personnel are required to certify an item that requires

special preparation (munitions, engines, etc), the item specialist or preparing activity

provides documentation indicating that the item is prepared properly for air shipment.

Develop local procedures to determine acceptable documentation.

A17.1.2. Certification Reference. Certify hazardous materials to a packaging reference in

this manual. Hazardous material may be certified as required for air transport to the ICAO,

IATA, or 49 CFR under the following conditions:

A17.1.2.1. Comply with all requirements of the certifying document.

A17.1.2.2. Certified on a "Shipper's Declaration for Dangerous Goods" standard

commercial form.

A17.1.2.3. Materials prepared passenger/cargo aircraft are assigned P5.

A17.1.2.5. See A17.2.6. for multiple mode shipments.

A17.2. Shipper’s Declaration for Dangerous Goods Certification.

A17.2.1. Forms Required. Complete shipper's certification on the "Shipper's Declaration for

Dangerous Goods" standard commercial form. Two styles of the commercial form may be

used. One style is designed with the "Nature and Quantity of Dangerous Goods" section left

open for continuous printing. The other style is designed in a columnar format with the

"Nature and Quantity of Dangerous Goods" section blocked and formatted with headings

specifying each key entry (Figure A17.1.). It is the shipping activity's responsibility to

establish procedures to locally procure and fund for the Shipper’s Declaration for Dangerous

Goods form.

A17.2.1.1. Obtain the form through the procurement system from commercial vendors

specializing in hazardous material transportation supplies.

A17.2.1.2. The form may be locally produced depending on local capabilities and economic

feasibility.

A17.2.1.3. Use a form meeting the format, size, and color specifications outlined in IATA,

Section 8-Documentation.

either manually (hand printed), mechanically (typewriter), or digitally (computer). The form

may be completed by a combination of manual, mechanical, and digital means, as required,

providing all entries are clear and legible. However, when possible, the shipping activity

should complete the form entirely manually, mechanically, or digitally. Incorrect

punctuation, spelling (other than Proper Shipping Name), or entries that touch column

separating lines on the form is not justification for frustrating hazardous cargo. Entries may

be either in upper or lower case or combination.

A17.2.3.1. Use Table A17.1. for detailed instructions on accomplishing the shipper’s

certification form for nonradioactive and radioactive shipments. Use Table A17.2. to

determine if a Shipper's Declaration for Dangerous Goods is required for radioactive

shipments.

A17.2.3.1.1. For forms with the "Nature and Quantity of Dangerous Goods" in columnar

format, enter information in the appropriate column according to Table A17.1.

A17.2.3.1.2. For forms with the "Nature and Quantity of Dangerous Goods" open for

A17.2.3.1.3. For forms with the "Nature and Quantity of Dangerous Goods" open for

continuous printing, use two oblique strokes, e.g., "//", to separate sequences of

information or place each sequence on a separate line. Separate information within a

sequence with a comma. See Figure A17.1. to identify separation of each sequence.

A17.2.3.2. Hazardous materials with different proper shipping names/UN numbers may not

be shipped under the same transportation control number (TCN). Complete a Shipper’s

Declaration for Dangerous Goods according to this attachment to identify each proper

shipping name/UN number identified by the TCN (see A17.4.2. and A17.3. for

exceptions). A single Shipper’s Declaration for Dangerous Goods may be used for

multiple like items shipped under one TCN.

than the certifying official may make pen and ink changes to Keys 1 (only to the telephone

number and not to the address), 2, 3, 5, 8, 9, and 19 without affecting the certification.

Personnel making a change to any key sign next to, above, or below the change.

Additional relevant information may be added to Key 19 by someone other than the

certifying official, provided all copies reflect the additional information and they are

signed. Ensure all entries are durable, clear, and legible on all copies. Shipments may be

frustrated if any entry on the form is not clear and legible. If the Shipper's Declaration for

Dangerous Goods form is rejected, accomplish the correction as described in this

paragraph or complete an entirely new form and present to the shipping activity.

COMPATIBILITY

A18.1. General Requirements. For military members, failure to obey the mandatory provisions

from paragraphs A18.2 through A18.4 and any provisions of mandatory subparagraph(s)

hereunder is a violation of Article 92, Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). Civilian

employees who fail to obey the provisions from paragraph A18.2 through A18.4 and any

provisions of mandatory subparagraph(s) hereunder are subject to administrative disciplinary

action without regard to otherwise applicable criminal or civil sanctions. Personnel shall follow

specific segregation /compatibility and deviation instructions for movement of hazardous cargo

via military airlift. (T-0). Packages containing hazardous materials that might react dangerously

with one another may not be loaded or transported in a position that would allow interaction

between the material in the event of leakage. Use segregation requirements for hazardous

material on military aircraft identified in Table A18.1. and Table A18.2. to determine

segregation requirements.

A18.1.1. Table A18.1. details segregation requirements for all hazardous materials.

A18.1.2. Table A18.2. specifies compatibility requirements for Class 1.

A18.1.3. Paragraph A18.4. specifies compatibility requirements for tactical and contingency

operations under the authority of Chapter 3.

A18.2. Segregation Requirements for All Hazardous Materials. Table A18.1 indicates the

explosives and other hazardous materials that may not be loaded, transported, or stored together.

A18.2.1. Only the primary hazard class or division are considered for segregation. Do not use

subsidiary hazards and accessorial hazards to determine segregation requirements when

using Table A18.1.

A18.2.2. The absence of any hazard class or a blank space in the table indicates that no

restrictions apply.

A18.2.3. The letter "X" at an intersection of horizontal and vertical columns indicates that these

articles may not be loaded, transported , or stored together. For example, in Table A18.1.,

Class 3 flammable liquids, may not be loaded, transported, or stored with Class 1.1.

A18.2.4. The letter "O" at an intersection of horizontal and vertical columns indicates that these

articles may not be loaded together unless separated by a 463L pallet position or not less than

a distance of 2.2 m (88 inches) in all directions. For example, Class 8 corrosive liquids loaded

on a 463L pallet, may not be transported with Class 4.1 flammable solids on an adjoining

pallet. If loaded in a logistic rail mode (e.g., C-17), separate these items by 2.2 m (88 inches)

and locate on different pallets.

A18.2.5. The "*" at an intersection of horizontal and vertical columns indicates that segregation

among different Class 1 materials is identified in Table A18.2.

A18.2.6. Be sure to check notes for compatibility.

A18.3. Segregation Requirements for Class 1 Materials. Table A18.2. identifies Class 1

materials that may not be loaded, transported, or stored together.

A18.3.1. A blank space in the table indicates that no restrictions apply.

456 AFMAN24-604 9 October 2020

A18.3.2. The letter "X" at an intersection of horizontal and vertical columns shows that these

articles may not be loaded or stored together. For example, do not load or store Class 1.2C

with Class 1.2H.

A18.3.3. Unless otherwise authorized, do not pack explosives in the same outer packaging with

other articles. Explosives of the same compatibility group or authorized combination of

compatibility groups but a different class number may be packed together, provided that the

whole package is treated as though its entire contents were comprised of the lower class

number (higher hazard). For example, treat a mixed package of Class 1.2D explosives and

Class 1.4D explosives as Class 1.2D explosives. However, when Class 1.5D is packed

together with Class 1.2D, treat the whole package as Class 1.1D (for compatibility).

A18.3.4. Incompatible explosives may be packed together when approved according to TB

700-2/ NAVORDINST 8020.8B/TO 11A-1-47/DLAR 8220.1, DOD Explosive Hazard

Classification Procedures or paragraph 2.3.2.

A18.3.5. Do not use subsidiary hazards to determine compatibility requirements when using

Table A18.2.

A18.3.6. IATA or 49 CFR certified air shipments packaged within the same outer package or

overpack using the appropriate IATA or 49 CFR Part 175 segregation may be accepted for

military aircraft without unpacking and repacking. Segregate those IATA or 49 CFR

packages from other packages certified to AFMAN 24-204 using the appropriate segregation

in this attachment.

A18.3.7. Be sure to check notes for compatibility.

A18.4. Chapter 3 Segregation/Compatibility. The requirements of Table A18.1. and Table

A18.2. may be deviated from when transporting cargo approved to be airlifted using provisions

of Chapter 3, consistent with operational requirements. Normally incompatible hazardous

materials may be transported on the same aircraft when separated to the maximum extent

possible. Compatibility waivers are not required. Use Chapter 3 segregation/compatibility, to

include complete round rigging, for exercises only when there is an intent to use or fire

explosives and ammunition. The following restrictions are mandatory:

A18.4.1. Explosives in compatibility groups A, J, K, and L can only be shipped with material

in compatibility group S and Class 9.

A18.4.2. Fissile class III radioactive materials (Class 7) cannot be loaded, transported, or stored

Notes:

1. Packing groups are not used for this hazard class.

2. For inner packaging, the quantity contained in each receptacle may not exceed a

water capacity of 30 ml. For outer packaging, the sum of the water capacities of all the

inner packaging may not exceed 1 L.

3. Applies only to organic peroxides when contained in a chemical kit or a first aid kit.

4. Class 8, UN1774, UN2794, UN2795, UN2800, UN2803, UN2809, UN3028 and

UN3477 are not permitted in excepted quantities.

5. For Class 9 material, if no PG is given in Table A4.1., use PG II quantities.

A19.2.3. Inner Packaging. Ensure each inner packaging is plastic (with a minimum thickness of

0.2 mm), glass, earthenware, or metal. The inner packaging may not react with, or be

decomposed by, the material contained therein.

464 AFMAN24-604 9 October 2020

A19.2.4. Closures. Closures must be held securely, tightly, and effectively in place with tape,

self-shrink plastic, wire, or other positive means. (T-0).

A19.2.5. Liquids. Liquids must not completely fill inner packaging at a temperature of 55

degrees C (130 degrees F). (T-0).

A19.2.6. Intermediate Packaging. Securely pack each inner packaging in an intermediate

packaging with cushioning material. (T-0). The intermediate packaging must completely

contain the contents in case of breakage or leakage, regardless of packaging orientation. For

liquid hazardous material, the intermediate packaging must contain sufficient absorbent

material to absorb the entire contents of the inner packaging. (T-0).

A19.2.7. Outer Packaging. Securely pack the intermediate packaging in a strong, rigid, outer

packaging (e.g., fiberboard, wood).

A19.2.8. Overpacks. Overpacks may be used and may contain packages of nonhazardous

material. Ensure all material in the same outer packaging and overpack are compatible.

A19.2.9. Dimensions of Outer Package. Ensure two of three outside dimensions of the outer

package measure at least 100 mm (4 inches). If the outer package is in the shape of a cylinder,

ensure it has a minimum height and diameter of 100 mm (4 inches) each.

A19.2.10. Other Hazardous Materials and Materials in Excepted Quantities. A package

containing hazardous material in excepted quantities may not contain other hazardous

material that are regulated by this manual (requires a Shipper's Declaration for Dangerous

Goods).

A19.2.11. Different Materials in One Outer Packaging. When different hazardous materials are

contained in one outer packaging, use the formula listed below to determine the quantities

that can be included in one outer packaging. Ensure the quantities of different hazardous

materials contained in each outer packaging are such that "Q" is less than or equal to 1.0,

"Q" is calculated using the formula:

nl/Ml + n2/M2 + n3/M3 . . . = Q

(nl, n2, etc. is the actual net quantity of each different hazardous material. Ml, M2, etc. is

the maximum net quantity permitted for the material and packing group in the outer

packaging according to Table A19.1.) For example:

A19.2.11.1. There are 15 inner packages at 20 ml each of Class 3, PG II , and 5 inner packages

at 30 ml each of Class 8, PG II in one outer packaging: 300 ml/500 ml + 150 ml/500 ml =

0.6 + 0.3 = 0.9. The result is less than 1.0, so the material can be shipped in one outer

packaging.

A19.2.11.2. There are 5 inner packages at 30 ml each of Class 3, PG II, and 15 inner packages

at 30 g each of Class 8, PG II in one outer packaging: 150 ml/500 ml + 450 g/500 g = 0.3

+ 0.9 = 1.2. The result is greater than 1.0, so the item cannot be shipped in one outer

packaging.

A19.2.12. Package Performance Tests. Ensure the complete package (inner plus outer

packaging), is capable of withstanding the test specified in A19.2.12.1. without breakage or

AFMAN24-604 9 October 2020 465

leakage of the inner packaging and without significant reduction in effectiveness. Carry out

tests on the packaging prepared as for transport. Ensure inner receptacles contain at least 95

percent of their capacity for solids and 98 percent of their capacity for liquids. The material

to be transported in the packaging may be replaced by another material, except where this

would invalidate the results of the tests. When another material is substituted for a solid, use

a material having the same physical characteristics (e.g., mass, grain size) as the material to

be shipped. When another material is substituted in the drop test for liquids, use a material

with a relative density (specific gravity) and viscosity similar to the material to be shipped.

A19.2.12.1. For packaging with six sides (e.g., fiberboard box), the following free drops

onto a solid, unyielding, flat, and horizontal surface from 1.8 m (6 feet) is required. Each

test may be performed on different but identical containers.

A19.2.12.1.1. One drop flat on the bottom.

A19.2.12.1.2. One drop flat on the top.

A19.2.12.1.3. One drop flat on the long side.

A19.2.12.1.4. One drop flat on the short side.

A19.2.12.1.5. One drop on a corner at the junction of three intersecting edges.

A19.2.12.2. For cylindrical packaging, the following free drops onto a solid, unyielding flat

and horizontal surface from 1.8 m (6 feet) is required:

A19.2.12.2.1. One drop diagonally on the top chime with the center of gravity directly

above the point of impact.

A19.2.12.2.2. One drop diagonally on the base chime.

A19.2.12.2.3. One drop flat on the side.

A19.2.12.3. A force applied to the top surface for a duration of 24 hours, equivalent to the

weight of identical packages if stacked to a height of 3 m (10 feet), including the test

sample.

A19.2.13. Package Marking. Mark excepted quantities of hazardous materials packaged,

marked, and otherwise offered and transported in accordance with this paragraph durably

and legibly with the following marking:

Figure A19.1. Excepted Quantity Package Marking

466 AFMAN24-604 9 October 2020

A19.2.13.1. Replace the “*” with the primary hazard class, or when assigned, the division

of each of the hazardous materials contained in the package. Replace the “**” with the

name of the shipper or consignee if not shown elsewhere on the package.

A19.2.13.2. The marking may not be less than 100 mm (3.9 inches) by 100 mm (3.9 inches),

and be durable and clearly visible. Ensure the hatchings and symbol are of the same color

red or black, and on a white background or contrasting color.

A19.2.13.3. Markings, labels, and documentation required by attachments 14, 15, and 17 do

not apply to these shipments.

A19.3. Dangerous Goods in Limited Quantities. Limited quantities may be certified to this

paragraph or to the most current ICAO or IATA. Comply with all requirements of the document

used including the inner packaging and outer packaging quantity limits. Pack limited quantities

in good quality combination packagings using only the inner and outer packaging combinations

authorized. Ensure the packagings also meet the general packaging requirements of Attachment

3. Single packagings, including composite packagings, are not permitted. The gross weight of

a "limited quantity" package may not exceed 30 Kg (66 pounds). Quantity limits may not exceed

the amounts authorized by Table A19.2. If all the requirements of this paragraph and the

quantity limits of Table A19.2. are met, the combination packaging need not meet (or be

marked) with the UN packaging specification requirements.

A19.3.3.1. Class 3 and 8, and Class 4.1, 4.3 (solid), 5.1, 5.2, and 6.1 may not exceed the

lowest net quantity per package (of the most restrictive single material in the package) as

listed in Table A19.2. For calculation purposes, when a package contains both liquid and

solids, convert the quantities for the liquids into kilograms in order to determine that the

permitted maximum net quantity per package has not been exceeded. The "Q" value

formula is not applicable for limited quantities.

A19.3.3.2. Class 2 and 9, when packed without any other dangerous goods, the gross weight

of the package may not exceed 30 Kg (66 pounds).

A19.3.3.3. Class 2 and 9, when packed with other dangerous goods, may not exceed 30 Kg

(66 pounds). In addition, the maximum net quantity of all the other dangerous goods (other

than class 2 and 9) may not exceed the requirements of A19.3.3.1.

follows:

A19.3.4.1. Ensure the package, as prepared for transport, is capable of withstanding a 1.2 m

(4 foot) drop test onto a rigid, nonresilient, flat, horizontal surface, in a position most

likely to cause the most damage. After the test, the package may not show any damage

that is likely to affect safety during transport and there may be no leakage from the inner

packagings.

A19.3.4.2. Ensure each package offered for transport is capable of withstanding a force

applied to the top surface of the package (for a duration of 24 hours) equivalent to the

total weight of identical packages if stacked to a height of 3 m (10 feet). The stack height

468 AFMAN24-604 9 October 2020

includes the test sample. There cannot be any significant reduction in the package's

effectiveness and there cannot be any breakage or leakage of any inner packaging.

A19.3.4.3. Ensure packaging for liquids meet air-eligible requirements of A3.1.7.

Attachment 20

ABSORBENT, CUSHIONING, AND CLOSURE REQUIREMENTS

A20.1. General Requirements. Ensure all of the packaging materials are not capable of reacting

adversely with the contents of the package and are noncombustible. Do not use asbestos. Ensure

the absorbent materials, cushioning, and closures are the same or greater than the type and

quantities specified in the applicable test report.

A20.2. Cushioning Requirements. Pack, secure and cushion inner packagings of combination

packagings to prevent their breakage or leakage and to control their shifting within the outer

packaging under conditions normally incident to transportation. Cushioning material may not

be capable of reacting dangerously with the contents of the inner packagings or having its

protective properties significantly weakened in the event of leakage. When overpacking

individual packagings for consolidation that already meet air-eligibility requirements, secure

and position the packagings against damage using appropriate means.

A20.3. Closures. Construct the body and closure of any packaging to be able to adequately resist

the effects of temperature and vibration occurring in conditions normally incident to air

transportation. Ensure inner packaging or receptacle closures of combination packages

containing liquids are held securely, tightly and effectively in place by secondary means.

Examples of such secondary methods include: Adhesive tape, friction sleeves, welding or

soldering, locking wires, locking rings, induction heat seals, and child-resistant closures.

Design the closure device so that it is unlikely that it can be incorrectly or incompletely closed.

Closures requirements are as follows:

A20.3.1. Packing Group I. An inner packaging containing liquids of Packing Group I must

have a secondary means of closure applied, and must be packed in accordance with A20.4.

A20.3.2. Packing Groups II and III. When a secondary means of closure cannot be applied or

is impracticable to apply to an inner packaging containing liquids of Packing Groups II and

III, this requirement may be satisfied by securely closing the inner packaging and placing it

in a leakproof liner or bag before placing the inner packaging in its outer packaging.

A20.4. Absorbent materials. Comply with the specific packing instructions which may require

absorbent materials for certain materials and packaging configurations. Packing Group I liquid

hazardous materials of Classes 3, 4, or 8, or Divisions 5.1 or 6.1 that are packaged in

combination packagings and offered for air transport in glass, earthenware, plastic, or metal

inner packagings require using absorbent material as follows:

A20.4.1. Inner packagings packed in a rigid and leakproof receptacle or intermediate packaging

containing sufficient absorbent material to absorb the entire contents of all inner packagings

before packing the inner packaging(s) in the outer package.

A20.4.2. Absorbent material may not react dangerously with the liquid.

A20.4.3. For single or composite packagings that have met the UN packaging specification test

requirements (including the hydrostatic pressure test), absorbent material is not required.

AFMAN24-604 9 October 2020 471

A20.4.4. Determining the amount of absorbent required. Absorption capacity varies based on

material and design, reference absorbent specification data to determine absorption capacity

for specific material used. Use Table A20.1 as a guide to determine the amount of absorbent

material required. Absorbent materials other than those listed in the table are authorized as

long as they meet the absorbent requirement.

A20.4.4.1. The amounts identified in Table A20.1 are the minimum requirements. When

exact quantities of absorbent materials are not found in Table A20.1, make an

approximation based on quantities listed.

A20.4.4.2 When the applicable test report or packing instruction identifies an amount larger

than Table A20.1, use the larger amount.

A20.4.4.3. When placing loose-fill materials (e.g., vermiculite) into the container, consider

settling of the loose-fill materials during transportation. Use enough loose-fill material,

and firmly tamp to compensate for any settling that may occur.

A.20.4.5. Absorbent materials should not be used as cushioning or to secure inner packagings

so as to prevent breakage or leakage, or to control inner packaging shifting within the outer

packaging under conditions normally incident to transportation.

A24.5.2. May not be jettisoned over water unless the cargo, in addition to size criteria, weighs

at least 1.6 g/cm

3

(100 lbs/ft

3

) to ensure sinking. Also, jettison the cargo at least 19.3

kilometers (12 miles) offshore, and preferably beyond a shelf, in water 100 fathoms (600

feet) or more in depth. The aircraft commander is given a predeparture briefing on acceptable

jettisoning locations based on the above criteria. When cargo is jettisoned to decrease weight,

jettison all other cargo before hazardous cargo.

3

(100 lb./ft

3

) or when size of cargo would

not permit inflight jettisoning, base the model of aircraft selected for overwater missions on

two-engine performance from equal time point (ETP) to destination. Aircraft performance is

based on aircraft remaining airborne when all cargo except the hazardous cargo is jettisoned.

A26.5.2. Examples for Determining Radioactive Shipments. A

1

/A

2

values represent the

maximum activity that can be shipped in a Type A package. A

1

is for Special form material

and A

2

values is for Normal or Other form material. In dealing with mixtures of radionuclides

if the sum of the ratios is <1, then use a Type A package. If the sum of the ratios is >1, then

use a Type B package.

A26.5.2.1. Example 1. Determine the most appropriate packaging when shipping a mixture

of 0.46 TBq of Bromine-77 (Br-77) & 0.25 TBq of Cerium-143 (Ce-143).

Activity measured / Activity allowed = sum of the ratio

0.46 TBq/3 TBq = 0.15 (A

2

for Br-77)

0.25 TBq/0.6 TBq = 0.42 (A

2

for Ce-143)

0.15 + 0.42 = 0.57 Total sum of the ratios 0.57 < 1, so a Type A package is required

A26.5.2.2. Example 2. Determine if the item can be shipped as a RQ of a hazardous

substance.

Shipping a mixture of 2.02 TBq of Silver-112 (Ag-112), 0.16 TBq of Tin-113 (Sn-113) &

0.21 TBq of Tungsten-185 (W-185).

Activity measured / Reportable Quantity = RQ

2.02 TBq/3.7 TBq = 0.546 (RQ for Ag-112)

0.16 TBq/0.37 TBq = 0.432 (RQ for Sn-113)

0.21 TBq/0.37 TBq = 0.568 (RQ for W-185)

Total RQ of 1.576 > 1 Therefore, mixture would be regulated as a hazardous substance.

A26.5.2.3. Example 3. Determine the most appropriate packaging when shipping the

following:

1.45 TBq of Terbium-160 (Tb-160)

A

2

value for Tb-160 is 0. 6 TBq.

1.45 TBq > 0.6 TBq Since the amount shipped is greater than the A

2

value; a Type B package

is required.

A26.5.2.4. Example 4. Determine the most appropriate packaging when shipping the

following:

0.45 GBq of solid Niobium (Nb-95) internationally

0.45 GBq converted is 0.00045 TBq

A

2

value for Nb-95 = 1 TBq

10

-3

A

2

= 0.001 TBq > 0.00045 TBq

A26.5.2.4.1. Since the maximum activity allowed is greater than amount being shipped, the

item can be shipped in an Excepted package.

A26.6. Properties of Common Gases. Figure A26.6. is a list of the molecular weight and

specific gravity of common gases.

Figure A26.6. Properties of Common Gases.

A26.7. Lithium Content. Rechargeable lithium batteries are manufactured without lithium

metals. There are two methods to determine equivalent lithium content.

A26.7.1. The rated capacity, in ampere-hours, of each cell times 0.3 expressed in grams (g).

Example: A battery with 9 cells each having a rated capacity of 2.2 ampere-hours contains

5.94 grams of equivalent lithium content (2.2 X 0.3 X 9 = 5.94g)

A26.7.2. Dividing the stated volts (V) on a battery pack by 3.7 (rounded to nearest whole

number), multiplying the results by the stated ampere-hours (Ah) times 0.3. Example:

Battery marked with 14.8 (V) and 4.8 (Ah) contains 5.76 grams of equivalent lithium content

(14.8 divided by 3.7 = 4, 4 X 4.8 = 19.2, 19.2 X 0.3 = 5.76 grams)

A26.8. Lithium batteries. The watt-hour (Wh) rating is a measure by which lithium ion batteries

are regulated. Lithium Ion batteries manufactured after 31 December 2011 are required to be

marked with their watt-hour rating.

A26.8.1. To arrive at the number of watt-hours the battery provides multiply the battery’s

nominal voltage (V) by the capacity in ampere-hours (Ah): Ah x V = Wh. A battery of 14.8

V with a capacity of 2 Ah is 29.6 Wh normally rounded to 30 Wh

INSPECTION PROCEDURES

A28.1. Inspection General Requirements. Inspect hazardous materials before entering into the

military airlift system. The inspection ensures hazardous materials are properly prepared and

documented. Follow the guidelines in this attachment when inspecting hazardous materials,

including opening an external container to inspect the internal packagings.

A28.1.1. Originating Shipping Activities. This activity prevents entry of improper shipments

into the transportation system. Establish a quality control program that ensures packing,

marking, labeling, and certifying of hazardous materials comply with this manual and safety

of airlift criteria.

A28.1.1.1. Inspect each package to ensure the packaging is correct and in good condition.

A28.1.1.2. Open exterior containers if there is physical evidence to support suspected

damage of the inner receptacles or if the external markings do not correspond to the type

of container. Reseal opened containers according to the applicable test report or SPI.

A28.1.1.3. Provide graduated dip-stick with any vehicle or wheel engine-powered SE

without an operational fuel gauge containing fuel-in-tank. Not required if the item is

drained and purged or drained to 500 ml (17 ounces) or less of residual fuel.

A28.1.1.4. Check shipper's certification for overall accuracy including correct packaging

paragraph.

A28.1.1.5. Immediately remove damaged or improperly prepared packages from the
