INTRODUCTION
THE QUALITY SYSTEM OF
PURPOSE OF THE DANGEROUS GOODS HANDLING REGULATIONS
According to the quality system of Mantraco, Air Logistics Provider, the Subject Regulations are published in order to provide procedures for the shipper, agent and integrated trade partner (who are non-aircraft operator) by which articles and substances with hazardous properties can be safely transported by air on all commercial air transport.
In 1985, Mantraco, the sole Member of WACO in Taiwan recognised the growing need to transport by air, articles and substances having hazardous properties which, if uncontrolled, could adversely affect the safety of the passengers, crew and/or aircraft on which they are carried. Experience in other modes of transport had demonstrated that most such articles and substances could be carried safely provided that the article or substance was properly packed and the quantities in each package were properly limited. Using this experience together with the industry's knowledge of the specialised characteristics of air transport, Mantraco start to developed the first regulations for the handling of dangerous goods by air. The first edition of the Dangerous Goods handling Regulations was published in 1988 as the Handling of Restricted Articles Regulations.

危險品定義
危險品是只能危害健康、危及安全、造成財產損失貨環境污染，且在本規則危險品表中列明，或依據本規則分類的物品貨物質。

GENERAL PHILOSOPHY
Dangerous goods can be transported safely by air transport provided certain principles are strictly followed. The IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations is an easy-to-use manual based on the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) Technical Instructions. It incorporates additional operational requirements which provide a harmonised system for operators to accept and transport dangerous goods safely and efficiently.
The Regulations include a detailed list of individual articles and substances specifying the United Nations classification of each article or substance and their acceptability for air transport as well as the conditions for their transport. Since no listing can be complete, the list also includes many generic or otherwise specified? entries to assist in the classification of those articles or substances not listed by name.
Some dangerous goods have been identified as being too dangerous to be carried on any aircraft under any circumstances; others are forbidden under normal circumstances but may be carried with specific approvals from the States concerned; some are restricted to carriage on all cargo aircraft; most however, can be safely carried on passenger aircraft as well, provided certain requirements are met.
Packaging is the essential component in the safe transport of dangerous goods by air. The IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations provide Packing Instructions for all dangerous goods acceptable for air transport with a wide range of options for inner, outer and single packaging. The packing instructions normally require the use of UN performance-tested specification packaging, however these are not required when dangerous goods are shipped in Limited Quantities under the provisions of Limited Quantity Packing Instructions. The quantity of dangerous goods permitted within these packaging is strictly limited by the Regulations so as to minimize the risk should an incident occur. Mantraco, IATA approved Cargo Agent, we set up our quality system of handling Dangerous goods is under back to back concept. Initiation of this manual started from investigation of the internal & external factor, then formulation the procedure, after evaluation and pilot test of the system, there are some correction after to meet both local and IATA requirement, subject system implemented from Jan. 1, 1999.
Training is also an essential element in maintaining a safe regulatory regime. It is necessary for all individuals involved in the preparation or transport of dangerous goods to be properly trained to carry out their responsibilities. Depending on the job-function, this may entail only familiarization training or may also include more detailed training in the intricacies of the Regulations. It is important to remember that dangerous goods are very unlikely to cause a problem when they are prepared and handled in compliance with the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations.
The proper declaration of
dangerous goods by the shipper ensures that all in the transportation chain know
what dangerous goods they are transporting, how to properly load and handle them
and what to do if an incident or accident occurs either inflight or on the
ground. The pilot-in-command must know what is on board the aircraft in order to
properly deal with any emergencies which may occur. The pilot must also convey
this information if possible to air traffic services to aid in the response to
any aircraft incident or accident. Information regarding Hidden Dangerous Goods?
must also be conveyed to passengers to assist them in recognising dangerous
goods which they are not permitted to carry on their person or in their baggage
and which may not be readily recognisable as being dangerous.
Lastly, our system always
revised according to notice from IATA, since dangerous goods accidents or
incidents must be reported, so that an investigation by the relevant authorities
can establish the cause and take corrective action. Also, if as a result of
these investigations changes are required in the Regulations, appropriate
regulatory action can be taken without delay.
CURRENT AMENDMENTS:-
Shulman Airfreight International Taiwan Ltd, Mantraco Ltd and NNR Aircargo Service Taiwan Inc are under the same group of system and top management, we are amendment our handling regulations subject to The 50th Edition of the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations incorporates all amendments made by the IATA Dangerous Goods Board and includes changes to be introduced by ICAO in its 2008--2009 Edition of the ICAO Technical Instructions. The following list is intended to assist the user with identifying the main changes introduced in this edition and must not be considered as an exhaustive listing. The changes have been prefaced by the section or subsection in which the change occurs.
