There are 9 dangerous goods classes. Substances (including substances and mixtures), and articles are assigned to one of the following 9 classes according to the most predominant hazards they pose in transport. Some of the classes can be further divided into divisions, e.g., Class 1, while others do not have sub-divisions, e.g., Class 3.

Some dangerous goods have multiple hazards. The primary class is the class of dangerous goods that takes precedence over any other class. The subsidiary class is the other class that further identifies the hazards of the dangerous goods. More than one subsidiary class is possible. For most of dangerous goods, the primary class and subsidary class can be found in Dangerous Goods List.

IMPORTANT: the following information is based on TacPro’s 30-year experience in working with tactile ground surface indicators, consultation with various stakeholders and the practical application of the national standards and building codes relating to them. We cannot, however, be responsible for your interpretation of our material. It’s also worth noting that building and civil infrastructure inspectors / certifiers can interpret the standards and codes differently; even staff from the same office can have differing views. If there is any doubt about the requirement for, or application of tactile indicators on your project, we advise seeking clarification from your inspector / certifier (in writing) as early as possible. This can save a great deal of time and grief at the end of your project (tactile indicators are a finishing trade) and can, in the worst case, delay the issuing of critical certifications allowing the facility to be used.
