DefinitionHigh consequence dangerous goods are those which have the potential for misuse in a terrorist event and which may, as a result, produce serious consequences such as mass casualties, mass destruction or, particularly for Class 7, mass socio-economic disruption.
Introductory remarksDANGEROUS GOODS SECURITY

Note 1. - This Chapter addresses the security responsibilities of operators, shippers and others involved in the transport of dangerous goods aboard aircraft. It should be noted that Annex 17 - Security, provides comprehensive requirements for implementation of security measures by States to prevent unlawful interference with civil aviation or when such interference has been committed. In addition, the Aviation Security Manual (Doc 8973 - Restricted) provides procedures and guidance on aspects of aviation security and is intended to assist States in the implementation of their respective national civil aviation security programmes. The requirements in this Chapter are intended to supplement the requirements of Annex 17 and to implement measures to be taken to minimize theft or misuse of dangerous goods that may endanger persons or property. The provisions of this Chapter do not supersede requirements of Annex 17 or the Aviation Security Manual.

Note 2. - In addition to the security provisions of these Instructions, appropriate national authorities may implement further security provisions for reasons other than safety of dangerous goods during transport. In order to not impede international and multimodal transport by different explosives security marks, it is recommended that such marks be formatted consistent with an internationally harmonized standard (e.g. European Union Commission Directive 2008/43/EC).
Paragraph 5.1 General Provisions
5.1 GENERAL SECURITY PROVISIONS

5.1.1 All persons engaged in the transport of dangerous goods should consider security requirements for the dangerous goods commensurate with their responsibilities.

5.1.2 Dangerous goods should only be offered to operators that have been appropriately identified.

5.1.3 The provisions of this chapter do not apply to:

a) UN 2908 and UN 2909 excepted packages;
b) UN 2910 and UN 2911 excepted packages with an activity level not exceeding the A2 value; and
c) UN 2912 LSA-I and UN 2913 SCO-I.
Paragraph 5.2 Security training
5.2 DANGEROUS GOODS SECURITY TRAINING

5.2.1 The training specified in 1;4.2 should include elements of security awareness.

5.2.2 Security awareness training should address the nature of security risks recognizing security risks methods to address and reduce such risks and actions to be taken in the event of a security breach. It should include awareness of security plans (if appropriate) commensurate with the responsibilities of individuals and their part in implementing security plans.

Note. - Persons that have received security training in accordance with the requirements of a National Security Plan or other security requirements that fulfil the elements of 5.2.2 need not receive additional training.

5.2.3 Such training should be provided or verified upon employment in a position involving dangerous goods transport. Recurrent training should take place within 24 months of previous training to ensure knowledge is current.

5.2.4 Records of all dangerous goods security training undertaken should be kept by the employer and made available to the employee or appropriate national authority, upon request. Records should be kept by the employer for a period of time established by the appropriate national authority.
Paragraph 5.3 Provisions for high consequence dangerous goods
5.3 Provisions for high consequence dangerous goods

5.3.1 Definition of high consequence dangerous goods

5.3.1.1 High consequence dangerous goods are those which have the potential for misuse in a terrorist event and which may, as a result, produce serious consequences such as mass casualties, mass destruction or, particularly for Class 7, mass socio-economic disruption.

5.3.1.2 An indicative list of high consequence dangerous goods in classes and divisions other than Class 7 is given in Table 1-5.

Table 1-5. Indicative list of high consequence dangerous goods

Class 1 Division 1.1 explosives
Class 1 Division 1.2 explosives
Class 1 Division 1.3 compatability group C explosives
Class 1 Division 1.4 UN Nos. 0104, 0237, 0255, 0267, 0289, 0361, 0365, 0366, 0440, 0441, 0455, 0456, 0500, 0512 and 0513
Class 1 Division 1.5 explosives
Class 1 Division 1.6 explosives
Division 2.3 toxic gases (excluding aerosols)
Class 3 desensitized explosives
Class 4.1 desensitized explosives
Division 6.1 substances of Packing Group I; except when transported under the excepted quantity provisions in 1;2.4
Division 6.2 infectious substances of Category A (UN Nos. 2814 and 2900)
and medical waste of Category A (UN 3549)

5.3.1.3 For dangerous goods of Class 7, high consequence radioactive material is that with an activity equal to or greater than a transport security threshold of 3 000 A2 per single package (see also 2;7.2.2.1) except for the following radionuclides where the transport security threshold is given in Table 1-6 below.


5.3.1.4 For mixtures of radionuclides, determination of whether or not the transport security threshold has been met or exceeded can be calculated by summing the ratios of activity present for each radionuclide divided by the transport security threshold for that radionuclide. If the sum of the fractions is less than 1, then the radioactivity threshold for the mixture has not been met nor exceeded.

This calculation can be made with the formula:

SUM i((Ai/Ti) < 1

Where:
Ai = activity of radionuclide i that is present in a package (TBq)
Ti = transport security threshold for radionuclide i (TBq).

5.3.1.5 When radioactive material possess subsidiary hazards of other classes or divisions, the criteria of Table 1-5 should also be taken into account (see also 1;6.5).
Paragraph 5.4 Security plans
5.4 SECURITY PLANS

5.4.1 Operators, shippers and others (including infrastructure managers) engaged in the transport of high consequence dangerous goods (see 5.3.1) should adopt, implement and comply with a security plan that addresses at least the elements specified in 5.4.2.

Note. - When national authorities issue exemptions, they should consider all of the provisions in this Chapter.

5.4.2 The security plan should comprise at least the following elements:

a) specific allocation of responsibilities for security to competent and qualified persons with appropriate authority to carry out their responsibilities;

b) records of dangerous goods or types of dangerous goods transported;

c) review of current operations and assessment of vulnerabilities, including inter-modal transfer temporary transit storage, handling and distribution as appropriate;

d) clear statement of measures including training policies (including response to higher threat conditions new employee/employment verifications etc.) operating practices (e.g. access to dangerous goods in temporary storage proximity to vulnerable infrastructure etc), equipment and resources that are to be used to reduce security risks;

e) effective and up-to-date procedures for reporting and dealing with security threats, breaches of security or security incidents;

f) procedures for the evaluation and testing of security plans and procedures for periodic review and update of the plans;

g) measures to ensure the security of transport information contained in the plan; and

h) measures to ensure that the security of the distribution of transport documentation is limited as far as possible, (such measures must not preclude provision of the transport documentation required by Part 5, Chapter 4 of these instructions).

Note. - Operators, shippers and others with responsibilities for the safe and secure transport of dangerous goods should cooperate with each other and with appropriate authorities to exchange threat information, apply appropriate security measures and respond to security incidents.
Paragraph 5.5 Radioactive material
5.5 RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL
