Provisions for high consequence dangerous goods

Definition of high consequence dangerous goods

High consequence dangerous goods are those which have the potential for misuse in a terrorist event
and which may, as a result, produce serious consequences such as mass casualties, mass destruction
or, particularly for Class 7, mass socio-economic disruption.

High consequence dangerous goods in classes other than Class 7 are those listed in Table 1.10.3.1.2
below and carried in quantities greater than those indicated therein.
