IATA DGR 61st Edition (2020)

61^st Edition

Estimated to be released for purchase in October 2019, is the newly designed and updated 61^st edition of the International Air Transportation Association’s Dangerous Goods Regulations otherwise known as IATA DGR. If it is not a mouthful, it can’t be a governing body.

What Is IATA DRG?

New Civil Penalty Amounts

It’s a Bird… It’s a Plane… It’s an increase to Civil Penalty Amounts!  While the colloquial idiom is somewhat funny, the increase in civil penalty amounts is no laughing matter. Effective as of July 31, 2019, The Department of Transportation (DOT) and its governing bodies (PHMSA, FAA, FRA, FMCSA, etc.) will begin enforcing the newly adjusted penalty amounts for Hazardous Materials Regulation (HMR) violations.

NOT FOR SALE

This is a question we get asked a lot (or some variation of the question). The short answer is yes. If you ship, receive, or handle ANY hazardous materials in the US, you fall under the requirements of 49 CFR . I know, it sounds super official and scary. But now that you know you are one of millions of people who need training, you must figure out what hazmats are.
