[ RadSafe ] ICAO/IATA regulations availability

[Don Jordan]

There is a difference between ICAO and IATA.

ICAO is a UN agency so their regulations have the force of law in the USA
(when we get around to incorporating them) by virtue of treaties.  These
regulations, Annex 18, can be purchased for $30 on their web site, but are
probably as useful as 49 CFR for figuring out how to actually do anything.

IATA is an Association of airlines that incorporates the ICAO regulations,
individual government variations, and carrier variations into their
regulations, which are expensive but are the most usable version for air
shipments.  I recommend the electronic version.   The cost of the book or
the CD will be a lot less than the FAA NOV.

Subject: [ RadSafe ] ICAO/IATA regulations availability

Hello RADSAFERs,

 

I have a question regarding where I can obtain a copy of the IATA hazardous
materials shipping regulations. Does ICAO have a website like the US
government does for the Code of Federal Regulations that will allow me to
access hazmat shipping regulations for free, or will I have to pay to access
the most current air transport regulations? 

 

Thanks for any help,

 

Jeff Kulp
