What you’ll learn

The IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (IATA DGR) manual is a vital resource in ensuring you have the information you need to safely and efficiently prepare, process, accept and transport dangerous goods by air where and when you need it.

Immediate access, and full search functionalities make maintaining compliance with the regulations quick and easy for all airline employees, ground handling agents, freight forwarders and shippers.

Which edition do you require?

For students undergoing training and in need of access to IATA’s Dangerous Goods Regulations, we offer three convenient options: 

• IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (English) (seven-day access)
• IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (English) (thirty-day access)
• IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (English)

These options will provide you with the latest regulations on shipping and handling dangerous goods by air. 

The seven-day and thirty-day versions are for students that only require the publication to complete the course, while the full-access version is for complete access to the publication for the year. Students will purchase this publication to be used throughout the year in their day-to-day work.

It’s crucial to carefully consider which edition best aligns with your specific needs.

We do not provide refunds or partial refunds for instances of “change of mind” or transfers between editions. Hence, we encourage you to make an informed decision before selecting the access plan that suits you best.
