Transportation of Class 7 dangerous goods
Air transport of radioactive materials
Worldwide shipment of radiopharmaceuticals and sources by air through carriers certified for Class 7 goods — for isotopes with a short half-life.
Air transport is used where delivery time is critical: radiopharmaceuticals and short-lived isotopes lose activity during surface transport. Shipments are handled by carriers certified for Class 7 dangerous goods.
Cargo is prepared under IATA DGR rules: packaging, marking, transport index and accompanying documents are drawn up for the carrier and the country of destination.
What the service covers
- Packaging and marking under IATA DGR rules
- Shipper's declaration for dangerous goods
- Selection of a carrier approved for Class 7 goods
- Calculation of the transport index and package category
- Scheduling against the half-life of the isotope
