20. Dangerous Goods Transportation
EVERY POSSIBLE CHEMICAL COMPOUND ORGANIC OR INORGANICHAVE BEEN LISTED IN THE ICAO DOC AND IDNTIFIED BY A UN No-
THESE UN No.s ARE UNIVERSALLY ACCEPTED SO THAT TRANSPORTATION TO,FROM AND THROUGH ANY COUNTRY IS POSSIBLE WITHOUT CHANGE OF LABEL AND PACKING

21. Dangerous Goods Transportation
MANY ITEMS ARE FORBIDDEN BY AIR, AS PER ICAO LISTING.
ON TOP OF THAT, STATE OR INDIVIDUAL AIRLINE MAY HAVE THEIR VARIATION OR SPECIAL OPTION

PACKAGING MATERIALWHICH MAY COME INTO CONTACT WITH THE SUBSTANCE OR ARTICLE MUST NOT REACT DANGEROUSLY WITH THE SUBSTANCE OR ARTICLE AND MUST NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT ITS PACKAGING FUNCTIONS

24. Dangerous Goods Transportation
PACKAGING IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR.IT MAKES OTHERWISE DANGEROUS GOOD TRANSPORTABLE.
PACKAGING CAN BE COMBINATION OR SINGLE.
MATERIAL OF CONTAINER CAN BE DIFFERENT.EACH PACKAGE HAS A DESIGN CODE AND HAS TO MEET RIGOROUS TEST REQUIREMENT INCLUDING DROP TEST
